Willow county has the rather unique
experience of having a river bridge at
this point with the water of the river
running in another channel. During the
recent high water In the Republican river

south o; this city and the full head of
the stream was thus diverted about a
quarter of a mile from its old channel
and the bridge left high and dry. The
farm of John Schmidt through which the
river made a new channel, has been
practically ruined. He was not long
since Offered $500 for the forty-five
acres comprising his farm, which is now
practically worthless. The barn was
carried away by the water, which finally
stopped within a few feet of the brick
farm house on the place.
