MoTencl, hunting a lost valuable reg.
lister. The register was shipped from
81 PaSo, and got to LOrdsburg the
day the Arizona s. New Mexico road
was washed out. II remained in this
oGice four days, took two days to get
to Clifton, and remained there I've
days until trafic was resumed, and
then sent to Morenci. 1t reached
MorencI, and was delivered the day
before Inspector Smithers got there.
Mr.. SmIthers was 10 Denver when the
report OF the non-dellvery of the reg
lister was made and made the trip TO
Morencl to trace IL. All this at the
expense OF the p~ostofice department,
in order to back up the safety Of the
registry system, and for doing this the
government received the munidcept
sum of eight cents, registration fee.
II the FL Paso people who sent the
register had made some inquiries they
could easily have found out that there
was a big washout, and il was impos-
slble to get registered matter through,
and so have s4ved much trouble.

running again as usual. A Temporal!
wooden bridge was built across thu
river. and q new two span steel bridgl
has been ordered. This bridge will b,
three feet higher than the old one
aud will rest on solid concrete piers
1t Is thought and hoped that all tn
water aud drift that is due to com
down the San francisco will be abb
TO get under the w bridge. 1t vii
probably be three months before tn
bridge is IN place, but unless ther
should come an unexpected rise In tn
river caused by rapidly melting sno'
there will be no danger to the ten
poTary bridge until the June ris
comes, by which time the new bridR
ought to be 10 place.
