Steel Bridge Over Biz Creek

We have all been yelling our
selves hoarse for a bridge over Big
creek and would have been salts
fed with a wooden one but are
much better pleased with one of
steel. In conversation with Chair
man Veitch recently, he said:
eve could buil1 a wooden bridge
for you at a moderate cost, but it
would have to be repaired frequent
and would in the end cost al much
as steel. Now, while we are at it We
intend to put in a bridge of steel,
and everywhere we put in a bridge
of any size it will be constructed
of steel, and The yearly repairing
of wooden bridges will soon be a
thing of the past. Steel bridges
are not very expensive and it is a
certainty they look good to the
travelling public and are cheapest
in the long run. Look at the
steel bridge at Saratoga, construct
in the early sos. How many tim
Der bridges and at what cost could
you have kept in its place for the
same length of time?

Government Fish Hatchery

Hon. George NJ. Bowers, United

Saratoga visitor last Friday. His
trip to this place was for the pur-
pose of examining the Clausen
lake and to determine it's adaptibil-
ity for the site Of the new S25 600,
90 fish hatchery which is to be
erected in Wyoming at some point
where the water is the right TEN
perature and sufficient in quantity
rs well as chemically pure. When
heihad made.the examination, test
ed the quality and determined the
flow of the water he said: swell,
this seems to me an admirable
sight for he hatchery. The water
is free from alkali, or other dele
FERROUS ingredients, the flow is
certainly ample for all possible
needs and if they can show up a
better site anywhere in Wyoming
they will have to go some. The
location seems to me to be ideal.
This is the heart of the greatest
trout fishing grounds in the world,

gather, it certainly looks it. OF
course 1 cannot say at this time
