REPAIR OF
STRUCTURE
IS DELAYED
Drivers Almost Fight
For Privilege to Try
Weakened an;
Held Up All Night

The elements and the Virgin river
seem determined to prevent mans
repairing the damage done at the
Riverside bridge little over week
ago by floods.
The third flood struck the bridge
Sunday about noon, fiYe-foot rise
in the water stopping the fording OF
the stream and holding up 300 cars
of motorists up to dawn yesterday
For the second time the Golfer
dams built by the state highway de-
partment under the direction OF C.
C. Boyer were washed out when the
Increased flow struck them.
Once again teams of horses pulled
autos across the stream for whole
morning before they caught up
taking over the 300 who had been
there all night and those who ar
rived during Sunday morning.
Many TOwed Across
Four hundred and fifty were
toWed across yesterday.
Motorists almost fought highway
officials and workers for the privi-
lege OF attempting a crossing on the
bridge in spite Of its weakened con-
dition, according to Boyer, scme OF
them in desperation, while for the
most part they were patient.
The bridge has a great sag where
ten pilings we're washed out by the
first flood, and has sunk four feet
on one side and two and a half
feet on the other.
AS soon as the water has subsidized
sufficiently actual reconstruction OF
the bridge will be begun. George r.
Egan, formerly resident engineer in
Las Vegas, now bridge engineer for
the department of highways sta
toned in Carson City, arrived on
the scene yesterday to take charge
of the repair work.
Eight Feet of Water
There were as high as seven anC,
eight feet of water in the Virgin
Sunday, it is stated authoritatively.
The storekeeper at Riverside store
sold $3.50 worth of sandwiches, N
addition to hundreds of dollars
worth of groceries, during the last
siege, having made two more trips
in to Las Vegas for supplies.
The road from the bridge to a
point about eight miles this side OF
II is cut up considerably by cloud
burst which occurred Sunday. 1t is
passable however, and motorists are
cautioned to regard the signs and
lights, to avoid difficulty, Boyer
stated last night upon his return
from the scene of battle"
The Meadow Valley route from
Caliente to Las Vegas was badly
washed out by the same cloudburSt,
it is reported by motorists who have
since come through that way.

UNIONPACIFIC TOBEGIN
DRILLING NEW WELL AT
BRACKEN IMMEDIATELY
Pushing of Plans for Well Where Branch
Line Will Start Taken as Evidence That
Right-of Way Work Will Be Begun In
Near Future; $4,000 Ties Accumulated

Early start of construction of
the railroad branch line from the
Union Pacific main line to the
dam site is believed to be indicated
by the fact that the Union Pacific
is taking steps toward immediate
drilling Of a water we'll at Bracken,
near the point at which the branch
will start toward the Coloardo. :.
Indications that the railroad
company requires early drilling of
the we'll have accompanied the
negotiations for bids. Expeditions
starting of the project is one of
the requirements, according to re-
liable information received by the
Age
Last Wednesday, September 4,
was the day set for opening OF bids
for awarding of the contract for
the drilling of the well. No infor-
nation is available here as yet,
however, as TO who will have the
contract.
This is seen as manifcStly a
definite preliminary preparation for
the work of building the railway
line TO the dam site, which is eX-
pected to be the first step OF major
Importance in actual construction
work pertinent to the building OF
Boulder Dam.
1t as The concenSus Of Las We
gans who have kept in close touch
with the situation that the first
concrete evidence Of actual con-
struction of the railway line will
be the starting gun for rush to
Las Vegas much greater than that
which followed the signing Of the
bill last December.
The railroad company will not go
ahead until certain of where she Is
treading The beginning of the
great preliminary activity which is
bound to precede the actual dam
construction for year or so Will
be commonly accepted as having
had it's start with the moving OF
the first shovelful of earth on the
right-of way which will carry ma
terials to the site of Boulder Dam
The fact that some $4,000 creo-
soted new railway ties have been
accumulated recently on the rail-
way premises in this city may
also be an indication of early ac-
ton by the Union Pacific, it has
been pointed out.
These ties are sufficient to lay
six or eight miles of single track
and may be used for the laying OF
another track from here to the
point where the new branch will
begin.

3 WOMEN
Flyer Drops Food to
Quartet Perched on
$4,000 Foot Ledge;
Fifth May Be Lost

McCLOUD, Cal. Sept 0 W,Pl-
An airplane and fifty men on foot
we're trying TO hasten the rescue
of four persons trapped on a ledge
of Mt. Shasta tonight.
The party was sighted by John
WillbankS, from his airplane, and
he dropped food to them. Imme-
diately after his return here fifty
employees of a lumber mill set out
with ropes and lanterns to help
the marooned quartet, three women
and man. and search for another
man who had been in the group
but WASH OF seen by Willbeank.
The party was near Thumb rock
which is about $4,000 feet up the
side of the rugged, Snow-capped
peak
A note left at branch Of trails
near the rock indicated the women
had been separated from their
companions and the two men had
started a search for them. Will
banks said it appeared the women
had slipped down to the ledge and
had been located there by one of
the men, who seemed to have slid
down the slope to help them and
then had been unable to return.
The pilot said those on the rock
answered descriptions Of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. j. Bedell. Mrs. Albert
Bryson and Miss Rhoda Henry.
The other man was Albert BrySon.
