Cabling Sanderson's Bridge. Commissioner Butler and a force of men are grappling the Sanderson bridge problem. The bridge has caused more trouble than any in the valley. When the high water went down it was found the north cement pier had dropped about a foot, putting the bridge in jeopardy. A cable has been run from the top to a dead man on the bank and another is be ing run from the bottom to another, and by this means it is hoped to save it and put it in good condition again. - T O II I A. m Bwntbe " "" ligBatore of Ml. ill. if.

The Epworth League last evening ,'ave Miss Orah Harkness u farewell party, a surprise, before her inaugura lion trip. The following poem was read by Rev. Gordon: TO MISS ORAH HARKNESS. On departing for the Taft Inaugura tion. Arise, O Muse, and flop your wing. And help a duck to soar and sing. While a Webfool scrapes the golden string, Till all shall know before I'm done That Oi aii's bound for Washington. Miss Harkness, hear a rag-time jingle In which our love and mirth shall min gle, And if it sets your ears a tingle "e'H find a single man you see, To pitch it in a higher key. The League is proud as all the nation That you can see that 'nauguration, So bug your eyes like all creation, And when they crow for Washington Just you crow for (.'regon. Go help that Mr. William Taft, Tn cer. nhnnrH tht. nuMnm mft And hoist his colors fore and aft. He's uncle Samuel's hopeful son Whoranthefatman'sraceandwon! Heln Teddie lav hia sceDtor down. . I Anj fix the plume in Wil he s crown, And see he keeps his necktie down Until be speaks his little piecer Just Pl3 y were his little niece, if he don't thank you that you went, Don't let him know you care acent, juat tell him YOUR'E a President With a CABINET the same as he, And MORE vice presidents by three, . But I'm afraid some George or Jerry Will want a nfivaa aonmtufii f - , You tell him you are "not his cherry," , And when you see the show is done, Just catch that train for Oregon. Now dont get lost among the halls, And dont get Btruck with Whitehouse balls. And dont fall down Niagara Falls, And we'll be good as good can be Till you get back to Albany. Chrushed to Death. Mr. Rube Hall, an old resident of Buena Vista, was crushed to death yesterday by a falling tree.
