High water held William J. Davis,

McCabe's bridge for five dreary hours
last Friday. On his outgoing trip he
had crossed the first branch of the

branch a stormy current of water was
sweeping over the approach to the
bridge. He reached the bridge, how
ever, in safety; but he found beyond a
raging flood. On turning around to

risen behind him; and he was COM
PEELED to stay on the bridge for five

SOME GOOD ROAD GRADIN C

The work of grading the road from
Mineral Point to Linden has been taken
hold of this season as never before.
The town boards of Mineral Point and
Linden, and contributing parties in the
city, are the moving spirits in the en-
terprise. Rooter plows, graders, wheel
scrapers, etc, have been brought into
action. Thomas Collins, with a power
full traction engine, has furnished a
great deal of motive power; and a road
which heretofore has been without form
and void is being brought into proper
shape for travel. Already there has
been made a great and good beginning
If it were followed with some good
road drainage it certainly would be a
job to be proud of.
AS writer pointed out in these
columns last week, there should be no
mudholes on the crowns Of the hills.
Every man who is engaged in the
work of improving the road, which will
prove a great public convenience, is
deserving of the highest praise.
