The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-02-01

The north prong Of that mighty
avalanche has advanced 1860
feet In u single year, and Is now
only 400 feet above the railway
span.
Another seasons progress. at
its present rate of advance, and
the Childs Glacier will crumple
that 100000 man-made web in
its path.
Morgan, II he wishes, can then
build another bridge 500 feet far
Their down. That would cost an
other $4,000, 900. And when the
ice flow crossed the narrow inter-
vening strip, this too would crum-
pie up another fortune. Beyond
that the topography would not
permit the erection OF a third
bridge.
Morgan's anxiety to sell his Cop
per river road seems explained.
He'd rather have Uncle Sam build
so, 100000 bridges and fight re-
sistless glaciers than do it HIM
self.
Five miles up the river the rail-
road encounters an even more
serious obstacle. For five and
one half miles the track runs
across the face of the Allen GIa-
cier.,
And the Allen Glacier has also
