CONDITIONS SAFE
At BROS POINT
RIVER SAID TO BE INCLINED TIC
COME OVER TO THIS
SIDE.
ATTACK SMITHS ISLAND
Fron--iron Mountain and
Cotton Belt May Re-
store Incline.

Fer some time past there has been
evident a cessation in the destructive
| work OF the river at Birds Point 1t
was pred cted by RIVER men year
ago (Capt Hacker among them, who
is thoroughly familiar with conditions
in these ports) that as soon as the
river had cut away certain pro
tuberance in the shore and had
Strengthened itself out TO a certain
extent, i would cease eating away
the bank at Eirds Point and run along
of years, There has been no abrasion
in the bank at Birds Point during the
last two or three swells in the river
and this has given rise to reports
that the railroad incline will be re-
storel shortly.
As a set-off TO this favorable con.
dition and in harmony with the gen.
eral feeling that the old Mississippi
can no; I've good in one place without
being had in another, It is said there
has been evident a disposition by
the river TO come over to this side,
running with considerable force
through the chute between the main
land and what is known as Smiths
Island" This island is in fact part
Of what was once Birds Point. 1t is
over a mile long, stands well out ef
the wafer at ordinary stage and is
lhickly covered with cottonwood
brush Some river men are of the
orinicn that the river has shown an
inclination lately to put the island
hack on the ether side OF the chan
ne. One can never tell what the
cid Mississippi is going to do said
one and speaking of the efforts by
President Smith, of the Commercial
club, 10 induce the government to
prevent the river encroachlng on this
side, the river man said, the Birds
Point people might raise an objection
to such work by the government
since the river worG be only giving
hack to them what it had taken from
them; and what as a matter of equity
belonged to them. although the law
did not recognize their title under
present conditions.
With the cessation of cut ting at
Birds Point. it is believed the place
will revive again, especially If the
Cotton Belt-Iron Mountain incline is
restored which is regarded as a Ger.
tainty unless the Goulds buy the

There are daily mat inees, of course. and the theatre is a big place. with many seats. but they are going SO rapidly that those who delay too long are certain of disap- pointment. Don't wait until the last moment; get your seats at once, so that you may have some choice
 
 Reserved seats are on sale you know for every evening next week, for the opening bill of high class vaudeville and motion pictures. which is to be the attraction for the summer. Of course, the afternoons are only ten cents to all parts of the house, but for the evenings, few seats will be p1ac- ed on sale at only ten cents extra. Should you desire to obtain the same seats for the same night each week, you will be allowed to do so, and they will be held for you. The bills which will be presented during this spring and summer season Of vaudeville and pictures will be high class in every re- spect; novelties which have never be- fore been seen in Bridgeport will be shown and there will be ample amuse- ment for everyone, at a cost which has never before been attempted for the
 
 ment. Five big acts of strictly the best vaudeville will be presented at every performance, of which there will be one each afternoon, and two each evening. The matinees will start promptly at 2:15. and the evening per fornances at 7:15 and about s:S0.There will not be a better. or a cheaper form of amusement in the city this summer than this, and it's success is already assured. Smiths theatre seats 2,20O; it is always the coolest place of amuSe- nent in the city during the warm weather which we are bound to have although it doesn't look much like it now. But 1t is coming, and then you will want to get in somewhere where it is cool Smiths is just the place, and every care and attention will be given, especially to ladies and children. The comfort and pleasure of his pa irons is what Manager Jackson most desires, and to this end especial pains will be taken to give all courtesies and attention. The expense of the open ing week will exceed $1,200, so that it may be imagined that bill of unusual importance will be afforded.
