YOUNG CREEK BRIDGE
NEARING COMPLETION
Mr. Cameron A. R. C. Engin
eer in charge of the work on the
Young Creek Bridge, announces
that, all the piling is now driven
and capping nearly completed on
that structure. The work has
been hampered by the fact that
frozen ground was encountered
in driving the piling and con
siderable thawing was necessary
to get to the required depth.
The bridge will consist of two
forty-toot spans.
When the present work is
done the crew will move in to
tiie five mile point and spend
some time in putting the road
over Sourdough Hill into shape
for traffic and widening the
approach to the bridge from the
McCarthy end where the shale
is sloughing. It is then expect
ed that two crews will operate
— one to continue the work on
this end, the other to push the
road on to Murie’s Road House
and thence to Dan Creek.
BUYS OUT PARTNER
Mrs. F. Wills who has held a
half interest in the Owl Cafe
with Walter Quon Eng, sold her
interest to the latter this week
