In company with a little girl about her own age little rauhne was play-: ing along the ditch. . of . the Albany canal company anil ..fell, into the water.

'Both gentlemen are righteously indignant, and sav that if, such creatures are suffering for either roses or photographs' they will gladly furnish the same rather than have them stolen. It seems that there is no ordinance in the city charter making it. a mi9sde meaner to steal shrubs, etc., and it is likely that the council will , pass some such ordinance soon perhaps at next meting. county court The business :fe latts to the building of - a bridge across the 1 Alsea driver ' about a. mile and a-half above Alsea post- omce. There is - quite a lirtle bistoTy relative to this bridge and the road leading to it." - Although h'tlc has-ever been sfeit' bout tit' matter; ittf'ius view has a belt attachment. When worked by hand a couple f men can saw from three to four times as much as they could witn an otdinary, cross-cut saw. When power 4s used it is thought tnat the lat!er yiven capacity can, be doubled. ; It will cut any ' sized. . tree. that some time ago 'he people f standing or down, ,apd is not pn tiii section became m.-satishrd wiih' the road leading to the river ovi ' account of the location ofaid road They met ' arid r'- de- cidtd on a plan of action. In stead of pttitioning the 'county court for viewers to appraise the road and - goodness knows what not in the way of expense, those who owned the land over which it was proposed to run tne new road deeded t he 1 and to the cou n ty for use as a public highway; . ' .Thus farithey acted on- &n- in dependent : basis, " but when it came to the Itnatter of building; the necessary bridge across Alsea river 'they :felt as if they' ttltliif have some assistance, consequent they appealed to the county court for such aid 'as they 7 were in need of. The court saw the justice of the claim" and gave the residents to understand that the county would gladly; provide ma terial for1 the bridge. ; i.nis proposition was. auiy ac cepted, and, as the county court required that after going to the expense for material for the con struction of the bridge, said bridge be properly 1 built, Mr. Sebrell and six other residents of that section have furnished such bond. ' Mr. Sebrell fixed the bond with the court while here last week. w ""-'''.: "c:.' " ; ' '. ' The main "span of the bridge will be close to ' ioo feet long, and, counting the approaches, the structure will be; nearly' 175 feet ia length. A few of the heavier timbers . are already on the- grottnd7 for the bridge and work will commence so soon as the weather will permit. r t ; is estimated that the bridge will be completed by June 15.
