A BIG THING FOR CRANBROOK

The building of the new bridge over the Kootenay river at Wasa by Mr. Hanson is going to be of great benefit to Cranbrook.  It will place Windermere people from 10 to 12 miles nearer the railroad, as they will be able to reach Cranbrook now sooner than they could Fort Steele heretofore.  A gentleman who came over from Fort Steele Monday stated that in all probability the stage that now runs from Fort Steele to Windermere would be changed to run from Cranbrook, as it was nearer, and would give direct communication with the railroad.
