TRESTLE APPROACH IN PLACE
READY FOR GRAVEL FILLING
The long trestle approach to the
viaduct and main bridge has been
practically completed and workmen
are now engaged in putting on the j
sway braces and other necessary
finishing touches to the big frame
structure. The entire length of the
trestle is 2.800 feet, tapering from
ten to 40 feet in a one per cent
grade.
The stringers of the structure
were raised and dollied in place in
: three days, which is record time
for that kind of work. There are
612 stringers, each 9x7—28. total
ing 218.000 feet, board measure.
A stefem shovel left for Clear
, creek on Monday to get out mater
ial for the fill, it being the inten
tion to use a large quantity of
| gravel along the trestle approach.
Several trains will be kept at work
steadily bringing gravel to the ap
proach and distributing it along
the track for use as ballast between
j Clear creek and the bridge site.

C. W. Nicklin, retired realty
dealer of Los Angeles, arrived from

afternoon on that craft, enroute to
l the coast by way of the upper river.
It is the intention of Mr. Nicklin

at Tanana. He arrived in the In

the railroad and is returning to the
coast b? way of the river route in
ordei to see as much of the country

BRIDGE WORK GOES RAPIDLY;
SOUTHERN ABUTMENT READY
The work of pouring concrete for
Pier No. 11, the southern abutment
of the big steel structure which is
to span the Tanana river, was com
pleted on Sunday and will now be,
permitted to set for about a week
before the form is removed and the
finishing touches applied. This com
pletes the concrete work on the
south side of the river and the com
mission forces under Captain C. G.
Jones are now busy moving mater
ial and supplies to the north side
of the river preparatory to the pour
ing of concrete for Pier No. 12, or
the northern abutment of the big
bridge. Bargeloads of gravel, cement
and other materials are now being
transferred for the commencement
of this work and the pier will begin
to take form within the next few
days, probably before the end of
the present week. The work of ex
cavating at Pier 12 is now practi
cally complete and the pouring of
cement will follow as soon as it is
possible to get the material together.
The pouring of concrete for Pier
No. 11 was commenced on July 26
and 2,65(5 yards of material went
into the composition of this pier,
the work being completed in a re
markably short space of time for
works of this character.
Bedrock on the north side of the
river was reached at a lesser depth
than on the south shore and. in con
sequence, the base of £ier No. 12
will not be as deep seated as that
of No. 11. It is calculated that 1960
cubic yards of concrete will be re
quired to complete this pier.
The steam plant which was used
for pumping water for the excava
; tions on the south side of the river,
has been dismantled and tlie boilers
are being removed from the bridge
side.
PETTY GOING TO CURRY
M. A. Petty, -who has been act
ing as assistant to Agent Buhmann,
in the local office of the Alaska

post tonight. Mr. Petty, by his very
courteous and obliging manner, has
made many friends in Xenar.a who
will regret to see him leave, al
though pleased to know that his
good work is being rewarded by pro
motion.
C. Keck, an experienced railroad
man from the East, will succeed
Mr. Petty in the local office, having j
arrived from the coast last wee-;
to assume his duties.
