CHAMBERLAIN BRIDGE
OF the Milwaukee Road With.
stands the Buffeting
of Ice

Chamberlain, March 6. Since last
fall, the pontoon brige at this place
has given the railroad company little
trouble. This bridge Is 900 feet long
and swings down stream, swung IN a
hinge from the shore end, with a tug
or power boat attached to the west end
out in the river, being opened many
times daily for the several boats at this
place to PASS through, and when slush
ice begins to run late in the fall the
p~ontoon is left open the greater part
of the time until the ice freezes solid.
But last fall a sand bar formed be-
low the pontoon closing it so that De-
fore the ice set the pressure was so
great against the pontoon that it has
been sprung a few feet out of line,
the center. But the last few weeks
the river is gradually raising in which
event it will doubtless save a lot of
trouble when the breakup comes.
"The fill" put in by the railroad
company a year ago last fall from
American island to the Lyman county
side has stood the test splendidly and
now considered permanent. This
leaves a large body of still water that
has been stocked with fish and is a ine
improvement for our beautiful island
for fishing and boating.
