GENERAL PLANS F0R NEW BRIDGE
 RECEIVED HERE
MORE THAN 100000 FEET OF LUMBER WILL BE USED
 IN CONSTRUCTION.

Although the plans for the iron work of the structure were received here some time ago and have been on exhibition, 1t was not until the complete plans of the new bridge to be built across the river ha.t by the Alaska Road commission Were received by R. J. Sommers, local superintendent of the commission They show that, in all, nearly 125 900 feet of lumber will be used in the construction work, although by far the smaller part of that will be per manent, the remainder to be false work. etc.
 The bridge itself has never been described in detail It will consist of one span 300 feet in length from pier to pier. The deck of the bridge will be 20 feet in width, which will to pass. The height of the truss work from the floor of the bridge will be 45 feet The elevation above high water mark will be 12 feet which means that on the Garden Island side, Riverside avenue will pass under the bridge, and that the bridge approach will extend far up North Cushman street. The eleva- tion above the street on the Fair banks side will be about two and one-half feet
 The deck of the bridge will re- Guire 41,000 feet of lumber. The false work will require something like 35.610 feet. not including the piling, the lumber necessary for the construction of the approaches and that which will be used in the concrete construction work The construction crane or traveller will require 29,94O feet of lumber This IS to be used in the const1uc- tion work of the bridge proper, for putting the iron work into position.
 All of the lumber is to be pur- chased in Fairbanks A call for bids for furnishing it will probably be issued from the local office of the commission within short time
 It is expected that the local office of the commission will shortly be advised that the material for the concrete construction work on the piers for the bridge has been shipped from Seattle, and it is therefore thought that it will arrive on one of the earliest boats from St. Mi chael All labor which will be nec- essary during the bridge construction work will be employed here, al- though it is possible that one struc- tural iron worker will be sent in by the company which was awarded the contract for furnishing the iron work on the bridge.

STATE APPLE CROP
IS REPORTED GOOD
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
SAYS YIELD IS LARGER THAN
LAST YEAR.
1972OOO BARRELS LAST YEAR
Winesap, Rome Beauty, York Imper-
ial, Stayman Winesap and Timber
twig Show Larger Crops.

Washington.-The North Carolina
apple crop promises we'll this year.
Several of the leading varieties will
yield far more than they did last
year In a statement issued the De-
partment of Agriculture says that the
winesap, Rome beauty, York imperial,
Stayman winesap and limbertwig
have increased over the last crop.
The Department statement says:
1.-THE September 1 forecast of total
apple production this year in the
United States, as reported by the
Bureau of Crop Estimates, U. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture, is 67,679,OOO
barrels Of three bushels each (agricul-
~tura1 and not commercial basis) as
compared with 76,67O,00O estimated
produced last year, of which not
quite 65 per cent were sold. In the
past ten years estimated production
has exceeded the present forecast
five times Taking the country as a
whole, it thus appears that the apple
crop will be nearly an average, but
y per cent smaller than last years
large crop The crop is larger than
last year in the Atlantic Coast States,
including North Carolina, New York
and Penns ylvania, and in the Pacific
Coast States. but smaller in practi-
cally all the interior states except
Michigan, which has about "a per
cent more than last year. For the
first time this year an attempt has
been made to forecast the crop by
important varieties.
''The following estimates are based
upon reports from especial lists of
apple correspondents to the Bureau
of Crop Estimates:
"The wireeao forecast. North Caro-
lima $4,000 barrels, an increase OF
nine per cent.
The Rome beauty. North Carolina.
$4,000 barrels, an increase Of 80 per
cent.
THE York imperial. North Carolina,
$4,000 barrels, an increase of 33 per
cent
"Limbertwig, $4,000 barrels, an
increase of 10 per cent"
The North Carolina apple crop Of
last year amounted to 100000 bar
rels at 70 cents per barrel.
The crop will be much larger this
year if the increase in other varieties
keep up the record promised by the
ones mentioned by the Department
of Agriculture.

INCREASE CHEESE INDUSTRY
u. s. Dept. Of Agriculture Adds An
other Man to Devote Time to Work
in North Carolina.

Washington. - The department or
agriculture has just arranged to en-
nlov an additional man to boost the
DEVELOPMENT Of the cheese industry in
the North Carolina mountains, and he
will go to work in few days. One
man already is devoting his entire
time to interesting the farmers In this
work. This will enable the govern
ment to take care of an industry that
has expanded with almost incredible
speed since it started two years ago.
A government expert declared that
the cheese made in North Carolina IS
equivalent to that which comes from
Wisconsin and New York, the princi-
pal cheese states Of the nation, and
the department looks to the North
Carolina mountain farmers to find
prosperity from this industry through
out the section adapted to the work.
They are finding an eager market.
since the quality of their product Is
good, and are far from having to leave
the state to find an outlet for their
goods They make. the regular Amer1-
can cheese which has been coming
from Wisconsin and New York.
That the industry proved profitable
from the beginning, appealing to the
farmers because of the good prices
available, is indicated by the fact that
up to date six additional plants have
been erected or are now being erected.
Shares are sold to the people in the
communities and they invest such
amounts as they have available. The
plants at the present time are con-
fined chiefly to the counties OF Ashe,
Watauga and Yancey. Over in Ten
nessee plants have ben built in Sc
vier and Johnson counties, while plans
have just been made for starting the
industry in the mountains of Virginia.
Not only are additional plants be-
ing installed, bringing the total up to
nine, but the three plants which were
established and in operation last year,
on which the government made glow
ing report, have been practically dou
bled. They will be run the entire year
