ed by the placing of the false work,
which permitted the setting on and
riveting of the steel pieces so soon
as they were received in the spring
of 1910. The work of putting the
spans in place went on satisfactorily
until toward the finish of the third
span in May. The ice had been run
ming for a week past, moving two
or three inches each day, and had
at various times seriously interfered
with the false work or trestling from
which the men We're working Had
the ice carried away this piling ana
frame work it would have been i'm.
possible to have completed the bridge
that season. But fortune favored
the brave efforts of a heroic class
OF steel workers and when the break
came two days later the time of dan
ger had passed. The last span was
built over a portion of the river that
is distant from the main channel and
as not affected by the floating ice.
II was completed in June, 1910.
The total cost of the bridge was
about 81. 100000. In the construc-
ton of the two abuttments and three
caissons about $4,000 cubic yards of
concrete were used, while in the
bridge there are 100000 pounds
of steel. The first span of the bridge
is 400 feet long; the second 800
feet; the third and cantiiever span
$50 feet, while the fourth is 400 feet.
Chief Engineer Hawkins received
valuable assistance in this great
work from A. c.. O'Neel, bridge en-
nineer, who was directly in charge
of the work. He labored with I'M
firing zeal in supervising and direct
ing this great undertaking, with the
loyal assistance Of foreman of bridge
construction, Chas Mcdonald, the
steel foreman, Chas. Dryer, and a
corps of faithful steel men.
The work of crossing the Kusku-
lana gorge. 23s feet high, was start
ed October %, 1910, and complet-
ed the following Christmas day. This
bridge consists of three half-camel
back spans and is 500 feet long. be-
ing three spans of $50, ESQ and $50
feet. The construction of this
bridge presented difficulties not here
tofore encountered in the other steel
bridges of the road The extraordi-
nary height of the structure, togeth-
er with the swiftness of the water
in the chasm that it spans, rendered
the erection of false work infeasible.
These conditions necessitated con-
structing the bridge by the cantilever
trick. That is, the central span,
which actually crosses the gorge, is
suspended from the first span by
cantilever rigging attached thereto.
When the gorge or central span was
the wedges in the canti-
lever rigging were Stacked of, per-
hitting the span to settle in place at
its union with the third span on the
other side of the gorge. Engineer
o'Neel was compelled to work his
men much of the time with the Their
20 to As degrees below zero.
The Flag Point bridge at mile 81
is 1900 feet in length, with spans
as follows, in feet, 800, $50, $50,
ITS, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S. 1t was complet-
ed in August, 1909. Almost con-
of this bridge is the Round
Island structure at mile 20. 1t Is
$50 feet in length, with two spans
Of 800 and ESQ feet each, and was

one of the most perplexing problems
and hazardous feats that the man.
agement had to contend with. Two
abuttments and three piers were de-
cided on to support the necessary
rent rushing past at reckless rate
OF speed and carrying the immense
icebergs, which find their way out
of the lake, the problem of bridging
the river proved a most difficult one.
Work was started on the first cais-
son in April, 1909. In building it
a railroad track was laid over the
ice, and monster pile driver, rest
ing on the ice, drove the piles neces-
sary to support the ways of the cais-
son. In early May. when the caisson
was ready to slip into place the ic.
began to break and it was necessary
tt carry on the work by means Of an
aerial traEway. In placing the 9TH
Ell caissons in the middle OF the
stream by the aid of compressed air,
huge icebergs were continually ca-
reening and humping the sides Of the
caissons.
But this work was finished and the
piers completed that summer. follow
