the Rosebud Land and Improvement
company, and the Rancher ditch,
owned by parties through whose land
the ditch passes. The north side ditch
was commenced in, 1908, land twenty.
five miles are now comp! which
will irrigate twelve thousand acres.
When completed the ditch will be
forty miles long, and irrigate twenty
two thousand acres of fine land along
the Yellowstone valley. The head
gates are opposite Forsyth, and the
water is taken from the Yellowstone
river. It is estimated the ditch will
cost $175,O00. The Rancher ditch is
| ten miles long and irrigates eight
| thousand acres in the famous Pease
Bottom valley. Ranchman are SUR

be raised under these bitches. Small
bitches have been constructed along
the Yellowstone, Tongue and Rosebud
rivers.
In Forsyth Major J. E. Edwards
has constructed an electric light plant

The west portion of the ground floor
and the upper rooms will be used as
hotel. In the basement will be a
sample room, launday, toilet, cold
storage, heating plant, bathroom and
barber shop The ground floor will be
used as a hotel Office, dining room and
bar. The second floor contains
twentv-nine sleeping rooms and the
third floor twenty-five sleeping rooms.
Forsyth's schools are among the best
in the state, and a new four-room
brick building will be constructed on
the south side of the track, the citizens
having voted to permit the trustees to
go ahead with the work. At present
seven teachers are employed.
The Northern Pacific opened the
roundhouse here some time ago, which

For some time the people of Rosebud
county and particularly those dwelling
in Forsyth and vicinity and the ranch
men living north of the river had felt
the need of better and easier manner
of crossing the Yellowstone than the
ferry afforded. This was talked OF
and wished for by the people at large
but to the Forsyth Business Mems AS
sociation is due the credit of taking the
first step in for mul lating anything like
a definite plan. To think with them
was to act, and about year ago that
body petitioned the county commission
ers to submit to the citizens of Rosebud
county the proposition to bond the
county for the construction OF bridge.
The commissioners considered the pc
tition favorably and previous to the
fall election the following notice was
published:
s.Notice is hereby given that at the
general election to be held on Tuesday,
November 8, 1904, ballots will be pre-
sented to the qualified electors for the
purpose of voting for or against the
proposition to issue forty-hve thousand
dollars in bridge bonds for the con-
struction of bridge across the Yel-
1owstone river at or near Forsyth,
Rosebud county, Montana.
By order of board of county COM
missioners.
At the general election on Nov. 8th'
the proposition carried by a gooc
round majority and the affair was left
in the hands of the commissioners wht
had been empowered by the people t.
negotiate for the construction OF th'
bridge. Accordingly bids were adver
tised for and on December II, the com
missioners met in special session t.
consider the bids. There were twelv
bids received but only those of A. Y
Baine & Co. and w. S. Hewett & Co
were seriously considered. The bid
w. S. Hewett & Co. was $1,7OO lowe
than that of "A. Y. Baine & Co., and il
further consideration of the fact tina
this company was thoroughly reliabl
and able to construct such bridge a
even the treacherous waters of the Vel
low stone could not make inroads upon
the contract was let to them on Dec. q
for the sum of $53, 200.

was about 90 feet above heplace whel

but the soothsayer of Rome understood
the affairs of Caesar better than did
the Rosebud county prophets the ability
of Foreman Leach to complete his work
within the allotted time. Not without
some difficulty and hardships, how-,
ever, was the work accomplished,-for
days the men worked early and late,
and under the able supervision of Fore
man Leach every stroke counted. until
the last great bar was swung into
place and the last bolt was driven and
then loomed in sight a magnificent
three-span bridge. Mr.. Leach had
promised that the new bridge would
be ready for crossing on July 4th, but
on the 1st day of July Mr.. and Mrs.
Jack Rea had the honor of being the
first ones to cross the new bridge.
They had their rig gaily decorated in
honor of the occasion and drove the
entire length of Main street to demon
strate their appreciation of the i'm
proved method of crossing the Yellow
stone.
At the present time no estimation of
the value of this bridge to the people
of Forsyth and Rosebud county can be
made. But in conversation with people
who reside on the north side we learn
that it has already saved them many
dollars in time and money! to Sav
nothing of the relief from former petty
annoyances. This bridge is monu.
ment to the industry of the Forsyth
Business Mems Association and the
county commissioners, and the thor.
ough management of J. Leach, who
had the supervision of the workmer
for W. S. Hewett & Co.
At their meeting Saturday the com
missioners viewed the bridge and &C
cepted it as completed.

bridge with force of three men. The
work was begun on the north bank
where the two tubular end piers were
sunk seven feet in the solid rock, max
ing a foundation as unyielding as the
rock of Gibralter. January 1st the
number of workmen was increased to
twelve and the work on the first con-
crete pier was begun. This pier was
laid on a bed of solid rock. The large
central piers measured 11x41 feet at
the base and "a feet in height. AIS
barrels of cement were consumed in the
masonry work on each pier. All went
merrily on so long as the ice remained
solid enough to work on, but when
the third pier was half completed the
ice broke up. This necessitated the
driving of piles for false work on which
the material used in the pier might be
transported. All this worl, was accom-
p1ished in remarkably short time and
in so skillful way that not a single
accident resulted. After the big piers
were finished new piling was put in
from pier No. to the tubular piers on
this side of the river, when these piers
were completed. After the completion
of these piers, a second and longer set
of piling was driven on which was
constructed the false work for the
"traveler" (so named because it moved
backward and forward on track and
placed in position the gigantic pieces
of steel to operate upon.
The placing of the steel work on the
third span was delayed by the high
water which carried away part o1
the false work. After delay of six
days the men resumed work; although
in many cases they were obliged t.
J, stand up to their chest in the water
replacing the false work. But thu
work of raising the big pieces of stee

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself In
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, hatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, leucorrhna.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia L. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound

Dear Mrs Pinkham.
