which with the other damage OF the

amounts to more than $4,000.
The course of the river at Rifle
has changed an eighth of mile and
the bridge which carried the pine
line spans a small slough. The tor
rent of the river now traverses the
place, however. and the bridge and
part of the water works line was
swept away
Many acres of farm land never
before reached by the river is now
under water and the loss of two or
three small bridges to the county will
amount to considerable sum.
The loss of the pipe line will not
necessarily mean water famine
since the town ditch will provide
plenty of water for domestic use. al
though it is triile muddy. The
weakened bridge several days ago
warned the townSpeople that the
pipe line might go out. and so a
great deal of water has been stored
by citizens.
The new bridge to replace the one
lost this morning will be a steel af-
ralr, much larger than the other.
