The seventy-five foot iron spans for
the foot bridge have been put in
place and soon our citizens and Wis
itors can climb the zig-zag path to the
reservoir hill Last Sunday afternoon
a party of ladies' and gentlemen came
down the path to the creek. AS they
looked up they thought 1t would be a
very difficult task to walk back but
when they got to the summit they
were very much surprised to find
such an easy grade. From top to
bottom the different views of the
city, the flowing water, the tumbling
dam, the hooks in the pine and the
general surroundings were of a most
pleasant character. From the angles
of the zig-zag path many side paths
can be made for pic-nicing purposes
and in the absence Of a shady park
the city has thus provided a fair sub
stitute. When completed this improve
ment will prove a favorite resort for
our own people as well as visitors,
for they can make the circuit from
Soda creek to Clear creek and find
something attractive all the way.
