SHANGHAI, Nov. 11.-American
firms here have received reports
from French authorities in Indo-

supplies destined for China.
The embargo is undertaken to re-

The closing of the Indo-China
route will seriously cripple the Chi

remaining import routes will be
through Burma, with long over

CREEK BRIDGE
WILL Be BUILT
Rights-of-Way Are Finally
Secured Which AS
sures Construction
DIRECT ROUTE TO
NOW BE AFFORDED
22-Foot Concrete Deck
Steel Girder Bridge, on
Concrete Piers

The Secretary of Agriculture upon
joint recommendation of the Bu-
reau of Public Roads and Forest
Service approved $4,000 for the
cutoff and new bridge across Sal
mon Creek on May 81, 1885.
Negotiations were Immediately
undertaken by the Territorial Board
of Road Commissioners to obtain
the necessary rights-o f-way. 1t was
found that two mortgages held val
i'd interests in the principal piece
of right-of-w required and that
the original owner by decree of
the U. S. District Court was granted
year of grace for redemption of
his property Negotiations were ac-
cordingly dropped since clear title
to the right-of- way could not be
obtained.
Slides Occur
In the meantime two timber and
dirt slides occurred at the site of
the existing Salmon Greek Bridge
The upper slide occurred on the
night of November %, 1886, the same
evening on which occurred the big
slide on Lower Franklin Street in
Juneau. The slide destroyed the old
bridge and closed the Glacier High
way for a period of IL, days. A mar
row temporary wooden trestle was
constructed to handle traffic until
a new bridge located further down
the stream could be constructed.
New Negotiations
The Territorial Board of Road
Commissioners again undertook to
obtain the necessary rights way
for the new bridge and approaches.
This time they attempted to secure
quit-claims from all three parties
holding interests in the Wagner
property, but without success. In
the meantime the period of redemp-
ton was extended by the District
Court for an additional year and it
became apparent that the required
rights-of way could not be i,nmedi-
ately obtained
Since funds were needed for road
construction on other projects the
$4,000 previously authorized for the
Salmon Creek Bridge was trans
ferred to other work to be immedi-
ately undertaken. This transfer was
effected by the Secretary on July
%, 1897.
Title Finally Obtained
During the past summer title to
the Wagner property passed into
the hands of one group of individu-
ais. Negotiations for right-of way
were again undertaken by the Ter
ritorial Board of Road Commits
sioners and successfully consum-
mated on November 8, three days
ago. Plans are now completed and
provide for a direct route from
point to point crossing Salmon
Creek with a 22-foot concrete deck
steel girder bridge on concrete piers
The length of the Improvement will
be 1000 feet.
Funds will be available on July
l, 1889, and the work should be
completed during the coming sum-
mer.
The new bridge will eliminate one
of the greatest threats" on the
Glacier Highway. The present
bridge is at a sharp curve and more
automobiles have gone off the
bridge, miraculously none of the
occupants being killed, than at any
other section of the Highway. 1t
was impossible to erect safeguards
as these would prevent operation of
large graders and snowplows.
