Commissioner Matthews is having
the time of his life this week. He
has four new bridges under construc-
ton which is taking his time almost
constantly, adm as it is considered a
great enineering feat to construct
bridges in the dead of winter, Mr..
Matthews will no doubt be proud of
them when they are completed. Only
the finest of material are being put
into the bridges and it is even said
that gold, ivory and such costly ma
terials are entering into their con-
struction. The only drawback to the
whole project is that when the bridges
are completed they will be located in
such a position that the public cannot
gaze upon the beautiful architectural
beauty of their construction, nor will
the public be permitted to travel over
them-not even on a walk-for the
location of the bridges is within his
mouth and the engineer is the dent
list.

in 1918.
Last week we called attention in
the Republican to the fact that in
some unaccountable manner the pro-
posed state road which was to run
to the north and south of the village
had been cut off on the north, and
that only that portion south of Haz-
elton will be built this year. This
fact has justly aroused the ire of the
citizens of this vicinity and they got
together the latter part of the week
and delegated R. 1. Beale, supervisor
of this township, to visit the highway
commission at Bismarck to find Out
what the "defugalty" was and if pos.
sible persuade the commission of the
Importance of building the road or
through at this time as was originally
proposed. We have had the chance
of only few moments in (rview with
Mr.. Beale since his return last Sat.
urday, but he formed us that his
mission, he thought, had been success.
full, and that the road as originally
proposed would be built at the same
time that south of the village was
constructed.
