WISHkAH RIVER
To be Spawned by New Steel Bridge.
Work to Begin at Once.

r. w. Remp, engineer in charge of
the work OF construction OF the big steel
drawbridge over the Wishkah river tor
the Northern Pacific Railway company.
is in the city, to oversee the work of re-
moving the present wooden structure
and replace it with new steel one.
MIR. Remp says that it is the policy of
the Northern Pacific to make improve
ments as rapidly as possible, and atten
ton has now been drawn to the Grays
Harbor section, and work OF permanent
nature will be carried forward without
stopping, until this is one of the beet
equipped sections of the system.
The new bridge will cost, ompleted,
between 900 and 5000, 900; the steel
in the bridge alone, at present price, s
worth $50 900. The structure will be 81
feet in length, 90 ieet longer than the
present span. 1t will be built entirely
OF steel, resting on concrete piers.
The center pier will be 40 feet square
on base which will rest at the bottom
OF the river, so feet below the base Of
the bridge rail. Pilngs are to be driven
in the bed Of the river down to the rock
and the cement piers are to rest upon
these The end piers will be l4x4O feet,
similar in height to the center pier. The
hinge steel structure, which will swing
on the cenIer pier, will lie turned by IA
50'horse power gasoline engine. A tenn
porary draw span 1872 feet long is heing
framed just below the Anderson Middle
ton MIL company's yards. When com
| pleted and put together this draw will be
taken on scow up the Wi-hkah and
temporary piers, constructed Of plling,
will he built to receive it. The end Of
the present draw on street will be con.
tinued out to the river by means OF big
trestle connecting with the temporary
draw span. The present wooden struc-
ture will then be demolished and the
new steel structure built on practically
the same line as that which the present
bridge occupies when turned parallel
with the river. The new bridge being
90 feet longer than the old, will enable
the builders to leave channel in the
Wishkah l3l feet in the clear, which lie
II feet more than the present channel.
Work will be carried on steadily from
this time on, and should no serious
