EATENS ROADS AND BRIDGES

No such combination of exceedingly
warm weather SO early in the season
with an accumulated mass of snow
to melt rapidly was ever known in
this valley. AS result the continued
hot spell which lasted until yester-
day afternoon, has kept the coun-
ty road men jumping sideways to
save the roads and bridges. Espec-
tally touchy was the situation north
of town, where the wing dam which
had for years turned the main cur
rent under the bridge went out al
most entirely and let the full force Of
the raging torrent hit the south pier
of the bridge. It is probable that the
present cloudy weather will enable
the surplus water to drain of, but
