have demonstrated the fact that the
bridge, built by the engineers under
Capt Howell over the stream bed in
the gulcl1, is amply large and placed
in such position that it will be able
to carry off the water of the winter
and spring mountain-frashets, and
with the elevation of the walk there
ought to be no time when the gulch
should be impossible, which, however,
was frequently the case in the past.
