A BAD PRAIRIE FIRE

Wednesday afternoon one of the
worst prairie fires that we have had
in this part of the county burned
over several townships of grass. Burt
Redmond, in the Rosebud Valley coun-
try, was burning some thistles and
the fire got beyond control, and be-
fore it could be subdued it had burned
over from two to three townships and
dstroyed thousands of acres of grass
and pasture, and burned much hay.
Up to the time of going to press, L..
w. Hilliard was the heaviest loser
heard of. He lost about sixty tons
of hay, according to report. No build
ings were burned. Wednesday seemed
to be fire day, as we could see the
smoke of fires burning at practically
all points of the compass. Farmers
who are at this time clearing their
fields of weeds and trash, preparatory
to spring plowing and seeding cannot
be too careful while burning trash.
The prairies are unusually dry and
burn like tinder, and sudden gust of
wind may start very disastrous fire,
so it behooves everyone to xercise
the greatest caution when setting fire
Several carloads of volunteer fire fight
ers from Wood went out to help
Nttle the flames, Wednesday after
noon.

BRIDGE PLANS ASSUMING
CONCRETE FORM

Plans toward the construction of
bridge across the river at this
place are assuming more definite
form as time passes and the develop
ments in this direction since the last
issue are very gratifying to every
one.
AS will be noted from the com
missioners proceedings elsewhere in
this issue, arrangements have been
made with bonding company to
handle the bonds when issued for
this county. Similar plans, we arc
informed, have been made in other
counties, so that there seems to be
but little doubt but that this phase
of the proposition is assured.
Several state engineers arrived i'll
the city Tuesday evening and are
engaged in making surveys Of the
river, sounding the river bottom and
such other details as are necessary in
the preliminary work for bridge.
Just where it will be located is not
decided upon, but it is thought that
the most feasible location is at the
present ferry crossing, due west Of the
