Lieutenant Mason
 Back From Up River

 He reports that considerable damage was done to the telegraph lines by the recent flood, but that by the time winter sets in, all will be in first class order again. How ever, it is necessary that the poles supporting the lines be set back from the river bank a good distance in places, as the ground on which they formerly were was washed away by the high water.
