CITY PARK TO HAVE
SOME PRETTY BRIDGES

Much of the frame work on the two
rustic bridges to be built across the
mill ditch for the purpose of connect
ing the divisions of the City park has
been done and will be put in place as
soon as the piling for the foundation
can be driven. These bridges will be
very pretty affairs and will cost ap-
proximately $500 apiece when opened
for traffic.
One of them Is being erected at the
expense of the Friends in Council and
the other by the Civic Improvement
League. They were designed by T. H.
Edwards, who laid out the park, and it
is computed that they will sustain
dead weight of twenty tons. Mr.. Ed
wards drew the plans for the bridge
across the Paramatta river at Sidney,
New South Wales, conceded to be one
of the most graceful structures OF the
kind in Australia, and the ones he is
building here are pigmy limitations of
it. Mr.. Edwards assisted in laying out
some of the newer batteries for the
British government In the fortifica-
tions of Gibralter and designed the
beautiful grounds at "Woolhurst" for
the late Senator Wolcott, as we'll as
portions of the City park at Denver.
The bridges to be erected across
the mill ditch will have central span
of twenty-five feet and total length
of forty-eight feet, including approach
es. landscape gardner from San
Francisco visited the City park few
days ago and was enthusiastic over its
noccihilitiac for adOrDment He gave IL
as his opinion that it was destined to
be one of the very prettiest pleasure
grounds in the west, saying that it was
without rival between the Rocky
Mountains and the Pacific coast.

Florence, Nov. 6.-The waters of the
Arkansas river are clearer now than
at any time in the last ten years. The
river is running nearly as clear as
Beaver creek and no doubt some Of the
Beaver trout will find their way into

reason for the clearing is not known
but it is presumed that placer opera
