That will be the time. when a,

be unavoidable as far as immense
stretches of TERRITORY betw en-

will be heard the cry, "Oh for .
bridge across the Grand" which
bridge. / it were built would
mean an immense volume of
business for the business for the
merchants of Lennon which
business will surely be diverted
to some other town, if it succeed
in forcing the timely erection of
a bridge on line with it. The
business men Of Lennon could
do no better than urge the
prompt building of bridges across
the two Grand rivers south Of
here right now. 1t can be done
with little more labor than
during the summer, after a sea-
sons legitimate business has
been sacrificed to procrastination.
In fact, labor is now cheaper,
good sleighing admits of the
carrying of much heavier loads
and take it all in all a bridge
could be built in February as
advantageously as two or three
months later. Those most deep
ly interested in the problem,
should not, rest until they see
the bridges built before the
spring flood cut us off from our
volume of business. This is the
most selfish view on which to
base action but we know, that
even in our selfishness, if we
succeed in clapping the bridges
across the rivers, hundreds, yes
thousands, shall rise ahd call US
blessed. AS it stands, the town
which will be in line with the
bridges across the rivers at the
time of the floods will have an
immense commercial advantage
over its neighbors.
