Short Cut Saves
 Weary Mushers

Many travellers to and from Flat City will be saved quite lot of walking by the construction of the new pontoon bridge and boardwalk, which was com pleted by Contractor James Blodgett during the week. Patrons of the wire less station will also welcome the new footway.
 Hitherto it has been necessary for residents of the east and central DOT tions of the town to go right down to Otter street before they could strike the new road to Flat or get to the wireless station, but by the new bridge and footpath walk of quarter of & mile is saved them. Travellers to and from the western portion of the city will naturally continue to use the Otter street route.
 The idea of constructing the foot. path originated with John F. Baird, who was assisted in his efforts by Jos, H. Smith, Herman Anderson and other business men of the city. The bridge itself crosses the lake at Richmond street. It is 462 feet long and con structed Of floating logs upon which blanks are nailed, and there is hand rail on both sides. With the approaches the structure is about 1000 feet long. and the traveller is brought into town at the A. B. hall corner.
 That part of the townsite in the vii cinity of the lakes is very ricturesoue. as you will see for yourself if YOU stand upon that admirable pontoon bridge-either at midnight, under the sllvery moon, or in the full glare oi Gods glorious sun.
