NENANA WILL BE BRIDGED
BY SOLID STRUCTURE SOON
Plans have been approved by the
Alaskan Engineering Commission for
a permanent wooden bridge at the
railroad crossing at Nenana river,
and the work of preparing for the
erection of the new structure has
already started. Matt Peters, who
| has just arrived from the coast.
(will have charge of the work in
j the capacity of bridge foreman.
Camp is to be established im
! mediaately at the old construction
! quarters at 43 Mile and, as the
number of workers is increased, the
| new camp will be extended across
| the track to the section buildings.
When the work is well under way.
; the camp will consist of approxi
mately 150 men. and the work will
i keep them occupied the greater part
of the winter.
The News has been informed by
Engineer in Charge Fred'k D.
Browne that the plans call for the
erection of a structure consisting of
three 120-foot spans, built of tim
bers, of which materia! the commis
sion has a sufficient quantity on
hand to meet the requirements.
Both concrete and piling will be
used for foundation.
Owing to the temporary charact
er of construction employed by
the commission in the past, since
the extension of the railroad south
of the Nenana river, it has been
necessary to build a new bridge
every year, following the breakup,
and some years, including the pres
ent, the work has had to be done
a second time as the result of the
loss of bents carried away by high
water. This plan of building tempor
ary structures was adhered to be
caused the Commission planned to
erect a permanent steel bridge at
xne cross:ng eventually, plans ana
estimates for such a bridge already
having been submitted to Congress.
It is now found, however, that
there are sufficient funds available
I for a permanent wooden bridge,
I and Chief Bridge Engineer Chapin,
; who recently visited the Interior,
j has decided that such a bridge can
be constructed with reasonable as
surance of withstanding the swift
waters of the Nenana river
The construction of such a bridge
is of much importance to Interior
Alaska for the reason that it will
insure uninterrupted railroad com
, munication between Nenana and the
j district to the south, including the
coal fields. It is particularly import
ant because of the fact that there
| are no funds available now for the
! construction of a steel bridge and
I no certainty that Congress will pro
! vide the money by the time the
j Commission is in a position to ship
I steel from the coast to the Nenana
: river.
With a permanent bridge in place.
I it will be possible 'or coal operators
of the Lignite fields to plan develop
: ment with reasonable assurance of
coal deliveries at Nenana at any
season of the year, the lack of
which assurance has materially re
tarded development in the past.
The temporary bndge, which was
partially wrecked by recent high
water, is now being repaired and
will serve as the connecting link
until such time as the permanent
structure is ready for use.

BERGMAN ENJOYS OUTING
AT CIRCLE HOT SPRINGS
Charles E. Bergman, lical con
tractor and builder, who left for
Circle Hot Springs several weeks
ago, returned to town yesterday on
the steamer Tanana, and reports
having greatly enjoyed his outing at
The popular health resort.
Otto Meyer now has charge of
the resort, having taken the springs
over on a lease from J. M. Leach,
the owner. The new manager has
made a number of improvements
and is planning further changes,
his ambition being to make the
resort the big attraction of the
Interior.
There were quite a number of
guests at the springs during the
time Mr. Bergman was there and
all of them appeared to derive
benefit from the baths. The ac
commodations are comfortable, with
a library and other indoor attrac
tions. And the district abounds in
game of all kinds. The resort is
connected by phone with Circle.
Mr. Bergman left for Fairbanks
today, and plans to remain in the
upper town several days.
