BRIDGE BLOCKED;
OPENED AGAIN

The new Snake river bridge at
Bliss, connecting Lincoln and Twin
Falls counties, was closed for
day or two last week by the con-
tractors on the ground that they
had not received payment for the
structure. Then the townspeople,
under the leadership of Dr.. j. H.
Collins, got busy to have the bridge
opened again. This was accom-
plished on Tuesday by court order.
1t was issued at the instance of
County Attorney Boutwell, in be-
half of the Bliss merchants and
the farmers on the south side of
the river. The old ferry had sunk
and there was no way to cross the
river. Collins put up the requir-
ed bond of 5000 to have the
bridge opened.
The fund to fully pay for the
bridge is said to be short about
5000. The structure was erected
by the Charles G. Shelley Bridge
Company of Denver.
The Court order was served by
Sheriff Tug on Fred Bliss, who had
closed the bridge by order of the
contractors.
