OF A SPRING FLOOD is ANTIcI-
PATED AS YET-THE BARELAS
BRIDGE PRONOUNCED SAFE
FOR TRAVEL.

The Rio Grande is so swollen that
the usual fording places along the
river are entirely impossible, and as
a result. any one wishing to cross the
river at Bernalillo, are any of the
fording places along the stream, are
unable to do so, and have to go to
the Barelas bridge TO get across.
Although the water rushes along
under the bridge at a lively rate
there is no immediate danger of the
water reaching the dykes, and it be
gins to look as though the usual
spring food would not visit this dis
trict this year. The bridge at Barelas
has been materially strengthened, and
is thought to be entirely safe, al
though there still remains several re
pairs to ibe made, lack of material at
present deterring the work

reporter this morning:
Last year when we sold l1-p0und
blocks OF ice 10 consumers for 5 cents
We were instructed by the American Ice
Company to give Z or 1872 pounds in
stead OF 10 pounds. and 20 always be
sure and have the blocks weigh more
than 10 pounds This was due 10 the
fact that the Independent dealers had
adopted this system. and the American
Ice Company thought Il a good policy to
follow suit
Now that there is q scarcity OF ice
ii IS impossible TO sell more than ten
pounds for 3 cents Undoubtedly many
people think that they are being cheat
ed, but in reality they are getting full
value for their money. The blocks look
smaller and are smaller than those sold
for the same price last year, but they
weigh "a fun ten pounds. which IS ex-
actly the weight they are supposed to
be- The only difference being that this
year no extra pounds RI. e thrown in for
