WANT Ngw RIVER BRIDGE,
DiCkipSOn and Geary Farmers Talk
Of One Near County Line.

1 -
!. 1t is probable that bridge will b,
put across the Smoky Hill river OF
the line between this county anC
Dickinson county some time mex
spring, says the junction City Union
The matter 10 being talked Of consid'
erably in the west part Of this coun.
Ivy and the east part Of Dickinson
county and nearly everybody In that
section Of the country is in favor, Of
the proposition.
1t is proposed that the bridge be
built across the river from the VIM.
Sherraden farm in Dickinson county
to the John Butts farm in this coun.
ty. Mr.. Sherraden and Mr.. Butts
each agree to furnish half OF the right
OF way and 800 each toward the cost
OF the bridge. Many others in, that
vicinity have also expressed willing
ness to contribute literally to this
kind Of a project. The matter will
soon be brought before the people
with the view OF determining what
can be done.
Many Of the farmers south OF the
river in that part Of the country come
to Junction City to do their trading.
As it is now they have to make drives
OF 10 or 16 miles on the average to |
reach this city. With the bridge put
in at the place designated above, it
will cut down the long drives to nine
miles and the trip to junction City
IAN be made on the Chapman road. !!
The project is interesting many In
he city as we'll as farmers living !
outhwest Of the city. The matter
viii undoubtedly be brought up In
he right way and carried to compile
ion quickly and successfully.

AN ABILENE GIRLS TRIP.
Interesting Things They Do on the
Northwest Pacific Coast.

The following observations Of OIL
Abilene girl, Miss Bessie Faulkner
r telling of her experiences in Washing
. ton state, will be interesting to bel
many friends here:
Yesterday we drove way up the
.Wishkaw to what 10 called the "Forks'
about twelve miles north. The Coats
Logging Camp is there and it was
certainly interesting to me to see
them handle those great logs. They
pull them up the other side Of the
hill with an engine called q "donkey",
then they whistle four times and send
the logs down this great chute into
the water. The hill ID about $50 feet
high and the "donkey" is on Atop and
the chute Is built down the incline Of
four logs, two ON the ground and one
on each side, making a sort Of a
trough. This is built clear out to the
waters edge and is probably 800 feet
long. They start great log and it
comes numbering down there and
looks like some big animal. OF course
the speed keeps increasing and it
finally shoots into the water with .
great force and the splash Of the
water is beautiful. We watched that
for sometime until one Of the donkeys |
broke and they had to stop.
We went to West Port yesterday
and had q fine time as usual. We
started at 8 O'Clock and got there
about 10. Went on the steamer
Fleetwood. We went down to the
beach and saw the big Pacific. We
vent over and went clear through the
light house which is just hundred
ect high. After muchN putting and
we reached the top where
he lense is and it is quite a sight.

econd largest in the United States
nd weighs 1000 pounds. 1t 10

 The Maidstone made a superb pic ture from the flagship.

 recommendation, he forthwith sur
 prised the young American. The for.
 mer captain of the Torbay had died a lew days before and no one had vet
 been designated to command her, for tunately for Grafton. for Hawke imme-
 diately appointed him to the ship. To
 anticipate. t was an appointment which met with the favor of the ship's crew and the junior officers, with many Of whom Grafton had previously served. He had been first lieutenan. Of the Torbay. in fact. in other days. and he was therefore thoroughly fa- miliar with the qualities of the shin. He brought no one with him 10 his new command save Jabez Slocum.
 While waiting for the assembling of his captains in the cabin of the Royal George. Hawke had sunk the com mander in the friend in his intercourse with Grafton. Indeed. he had always taken a fatherly interest in that young sailor. From him he heard again. and at full length now. the details of that marvellous Quebec campaign. From him he also learned the story of his romantic love affair He entered with the zest of a boy into the spirit of the hardy and daring ascent of the dark tower and tho exciting adventures which followed upon it.

 THE ADMIRAL GETS THE NEWS. TT was early in the morning of tn,
 fourteenth day of November I 1759. The Maidstone was
 gently swinging into Torbay The wind, which had been blowing hard from the southwest during the night. had moderated until it was now . gentle breeze. so that every cloth of canvas, including her studding- sails. was spread on the frigate 10 catch and hold the light air.

The one near est to the Maidstone. and consequently the farthest from the shore. was a magnificent vessel of three decks. car rying 100 guns. From her main-mast- head a small blue flag could be seen huttering. which denoted the rank of the commander of the feet. a full ad- miral
 The dineren: ships of this great sxmada with nice seamanship had been anchored in their appointed pla, and all were in beautiful or der. Their sails were furied with the taut smoothness of a glove on a 1adys hand. and their ponderous yards squared with geOmetrical accuracy.

Yes said the admiral, 'T have
 heard that he is one of the best sea-
 men and officers in the French navy.''
 Iris true, sir. | can bear testimony
 to it. He captured me in the Boxer
 with this same ship five years ago, and
 got to know him then. He knew my
 father, too, and once fought him. The
 Renomme and the Shirley, you know.
 He's fighter. But if can get along
 side of him with the old Torbay, sir.
 I think we can show him a thing or
 two"
 T know. you can," added Hawke, smiling, "and I shall do my best to
 help you and give yeu chance. As soon as we get out of the channel we'll spread apart. I have B ships of the line and two frigates here, and we ought to cover miles of. the horizon. As the wind is from the eastward this morning, Conflans will probably get away at the same time we do. I in- tend to push hard for Belleisle. can't afford to wait for Saunders. though 'tis a generous offer he makes me. By the way" he added, as sud- den thought struck him, T must send frigate out at once to warn Duff, There is squadron of one capital and four 50-gun ships, besides some frig- ates, down there. hope tis not too late"
 As the admiral reached over to strike a bell on the table, Grafton interrupt ed him.
 Beg pardon, Sir Edward" he ex- claimed, Eve already taken the lib- erty of doing that"
 You have!' exclaimed the admiral in astonishment When? How?"
 Why, sir, yesterday afternoon we overhauled the frigate Vengeance, Capt. Nightingale. and told him what l had learned, and at my sugges- | tion he agreed to beat down for Qui- beron and warn Commodore Duff. was to come on here and tell you. and | as we were sure as to your action. Nightingale was to tell Duff that you'a oe hard on the heels of Monsieur de Conflans." q You have done we'll, exceedingly we'll, young man."
 Yes, sir, thank you sir" murmured traitor. Trained in your own 'chool. sir, you know" l' Well, you've been an apt pupil, and I'm proud of you. If you 10 as we'll with the Torbay you'll have flag before you know it.
 In this story, as originally printed book form. Dr. Brady gives a graphic nd detailed description of the battle Quiberon bay in which Lord Hawke rushed the French fleet Interesting s this description is it was not all eemed necessary to the continuance f the plot of the story, and in order to horten the story to some extent we ave omitted from it such part of this escription as does not concern the haracters with which the story deals. Editor ,, May I ask another favor, Sir Ed ard?" asked Grafton. s What" exclaimed Hawke, "are you ot satisfied with the Torbay?' = Yes. more than satisfied, but my rst lieutenant on the Maidstone is a rst-class fellow, and" II He may have the frigate,"". an- N vered Hawke.
