HOW ABOUT THAT BRIDGE?

1t has been more than six months
since the legislature of this state auth
orized the location Of the first bridge
to be built by the state across the Mis-
souri, river, to be located somewhere
between the Gregory and Charles Mix
county lines, and it was heralded all
over the country that the Rosebud
country was to be connected up with
the rest of the state by the first
bridge to be built by the state. There
were four other bridges to be built
by the state to span the Missouri as
soon as the money ws available, and
in order to appease the disappointed
counties in the first bridge location
they were given authority to bond
their counties to build the other
bridges, with the understanding that
as soon as money was available, the
state would pay for the bridges. The
Chamberlain and Mobridge boosters
Immediately got busy and they have
practically raised sufficient funds to
build their bridges, and from present
indications instead of the Rosebud
having the first bridge, we will prob
ably get the last one. SO far the
Rosebud bridge has not been definite
ly located, but both the Mobridge and
Chamberlain bridges have been and
construction work will no doubt soon
be begun upon them. There appears
( 0 be a colored gentleman in the wood
pile somewhere on this Rosebud bridge
The money is available for its con-
struction and the state authorities
have ample authority to begin con-
struction work and up to this writing
so far as we know they haven t as yet
decided upon site. This bridge is
to be built sufficiently strong to carry
railroad, and it is very important
to the entire Rosebud country that
construction of this bridge be begun
without delay. We have had suffi-
cient posing nd stalling by our state
officials in this matter, and what
we want now is a little action and the
construction of this bridge pushed as
rapidly as possible.
1t might be little embarrassing to
the administration to explain to the
Rosebud voters at the election next
year, why this matter is being delayed
for the people of this section will GER
tainly be curious enough to want an
explanation of this unwarranted delay

However, political observers say
that Ford will have to run on m IN

Harding Finishes Strong
The biggest development in the
