Hansen, engineer maintenance and construction, that all Of the concrete work will be com pleted by October 20, at the latest, which will be very considerably in advance of schedule time
 The stringers of the trestle ap- proach on the south bank of the Panama river have all been placed in position and the work of bolting them is today eighty per cent com plete. All that now remains to com plete the structure in every detail is the placing of the ties, guard rails and steel

The plans and there is always ample material on hand to keep both the surfacing gang and the gang working near the trestle, going without interruption.
 From the north end of the 2,8UO foot trestle approach, steel via duct will lead to Pier No. 10, for a distance of 420 feet, the struc- ture being supported on steel towers reared on concrete piers which have been prepared for the purpose From this point 10 Pier No II, which is the main pier on the south side of the river. a steel deck span I2O feet long will be erected to serve as the approach to the big structure which will span the Panama river. Superintendent Braford and En- gineer Ainsbury, representing the American Bridge Company, arrived in Nenana recently to make ar engagements for the preliminaries in connection with the commencement Of work on the steel; and on the train arriving here on Tuesday, fourteen experienced steel workers arrived in Nenana.
