TOWLE SHOOTS UBS
WITH BRIDGE PILING
The first of the treated piling for
the new Schooner Bend bridge to
leave Cooper's Landing were tow
ed down Kenai river Wednesday by
Frank Towle and Bob Evans.
Towing a raft of piling down
rushing Kenai river behind a sea j
sled driven by two Johnson out- j
board motors is hazardous enough j
for most any daredevil to stay away j
from, but its all in a day’s work for j
Towle and Evans, and residents of
the district, who know the whims j
of the treacherous stream.
The crews of the Wright Con- ;
st ruction Co., who have been work
ing on the project this summer,
have about finished the approach
to the new span, and some fine ex
amples of good road grading are in
evidence for 1,000 feet on the up
per and 200 feet on the lower side
of where the bridge is to be put in.
The upper approach covers about
e quarter of a mile of the old tiail
to Russian lake.
Save where protected by a prolif
ic growth of weeds raspberries have
a tendency to freeze out a consid
erable portion of the tops during ;
winter. To prevent this the vines
should be held erect by wires strung
from posts at each end of the beds.
Before heavy frosts have made the
vines brittle, lift the posts and lay
them over, pressing the vines to the
ground; then lay poles on top to
hold them down, allowing them to
become snowed under. The snow
protect them against freezing and
they will emerge in spring ready to
begin bearing instead of forced to
make up the lost growth due to
freezing tops. Before laying the
vines, cut green grass and spread
it between the rows and around the
base of the plants. This gives a
mulch that not only protects the
stems but stimulates growth with
the coming of the spring suns.
