Senator Lynn J.. Frazier, for many
years a resident Of this place, states

southern states and is reported to
work with almost perfect accuracy,

100 MEN ARE
NOW EMPLOYED
IN RIPRAPPING
Big Job Being Carried on
Rapidly Above Northern
Pacific Bridge on River
PROTECTING THE BANK
United States Engineers Su-
pervising Work of Holding
Back River Current

Almost 100 men are employed in
various capacities on the big rip-r rap
ping Job on the Missouri rivers
west bank north Of the Northern Pa
cific bridge this winter. The work
is being done operatively by the
United States Engineers, U. S. Bu-
rcau of Public Roads, State Highway
Commission and Northern Pacific
railroad, to protect the bank from
further washing away by the Mis-
sour.'s treacherous current. Con-
tlnued erosion might eventually en-
danger the grades Of Nhe Northern
lacltic, the, new vehicular bridge
and Mandan The channel also is
preserved for river transportation by
the work.
The Job is now about one-third
completed 1t starts at Il point about
u mile north Of the bridge and the
project itself is almost a mile long.
Sixty men are employed in the su-
pervlsion and weaving and placing of
the heavy mats, while 40 more are
cmployed as wood choppers and haul
ors. The job will cost upwards OF
100000.
The work can best be done in the
winter time. Heavy matrices con-
sisting of willow branches, wire ca
Hes interlocked every 20 or 80 feet
arc woven and they are then weight
cd down with rock. The matrices
are showed out on the ice about 4o
feet extending from the bank, the
ice is cut and the matrices then fall
down against the bank and extend
inc out several feet from it.. Ihe
rock are held in place by obstruc-
tions placed in the matrices. A
solid protection then is provided for
the bank against the swirling cur
rents.
Most of the stone used in the work
is shipped from Burleigh county, IL
Thomas of Driscoll and VIM. Jo-
scphon of Wing having obtained the
contracts for furnishing stone, Most
Of it was loaded at Driscoll and
Wing. while some also was shipped
from Steele, Tuttle and McClusky
The brush is obtained along the
river. The labor on the job is from
Bismarck and Mandan.
The work is timely, in the opinion
of those in charge, since an examina-
tion of the bank shows the river was
cutting into it very rapidly. The
work is being rushed as fast as pos
sble, under the direction of su-
pervisers from the United States
Engineers, War Department, Kansas
City, Missouri, and following its
completion reveting work will de
done around Cannonball.
