The work of driving piles for the
new bridge which is to span the
Xenana river at 43-mile will be
taken in hand tomorrow morning by
a force of men under the direction
of Foreman Sid Sheldon, and it is
expected that the job will consume
between two and three weeks. Traf
fic between town and the end of
steel at Lignite can be resumed
within a very short time after the
piledriving is completed.
Sheldon and his crew moved out
to the Crossing early this week and
have been getting things in shape
for the commencement of work.
Advices received from the camp this
afternoon stated that the work
would start in the morning.
The new bridge will replace the
structure which was taken out by
high water early in the season, the
reconstruction having been delayed
until the present time owing to the
danger of a recurrence of the trou
