there the petitioners were given

it. Then the court advertised for
two bridges to be built, one across
the Wilson river, the other across
the slough, and the plan was ac
cepted which was iio good, and
the court could have known it if it
had wanted to, for if they did not
understand bridge building they
should have called on some one
else to assist. The contract was
given to a party wl.o built the
two Jiridges for about $J 700.00 (the
slough bridge to cost about $400.-
00). Finished in September, it was
accepted and pronounced a firs»
class bridge, but every person that
had any knowledge about bridges
said “it will go down of its own
weight” mid others “the first high
water will take it away,” and so it
did. There you see, friend Olof,
$1300.00 went in one stroke. Well,
the tax payers pay the cost. All
right then. Well, now, the op
poser and the court try to smooth
over their carelessness by putting
the blame on the place, but the
place is there yet, and is as good
as ever. A new site, better of
course, must be found, mid ii com-
mitte of of bridge builders and the
court examined
every foot of
ground from the old bridge to the
new and they located a site about
150 or 200 feet below tlio wrecked
bridge, and ordered the petitioners
to get up a petition for a small
change of road to where the new
bridge was to be built, and they,
trusting everything would come
all right went to work and run it
and were successful in every way

ter. They went home glad of
their success, but Mr, Freeman
was at work with his assisting
friends from the bay. They knew
the court better than the petition
ers and as they left court be went
in with one of his influential friends
and proposed to the court to build
the bridge very cheap if they
