CONTRACT LET FOR BRIDGE Oregon Trunk Line will Cross at Celilo. BRIDGE WILL COST MILLION Contract for the First Two C rollings of Deschutes Also Let Contract fur Ilia stal construe lion of tlx Oregon Trunk Railway nriiluo at tlx crowing of tlie Columbia river at Celilo hat been let to the Pennsylvania Steel Com- ny. The slwl for the structure will weigh 4'Q0 tons or 0,0X1,000 found. Work on the foundations for the )iers has been undur way for some time umlcr a contract let to Porter l!ros., and it it expected that the concrete work will be completed by March 1. The placing of the steel is to begin on that date, if possible, hut it Is believed that the bridge cannot he thrown open to railroad traffic before January 1, 1012. Porter Pros., have completed the excavation for ten of the piers and haAe filled the excavations with concrete. This 11,000,000 bridge, which will give the Oregon Trunk Rail way pliykil connection with the North Hand or Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad, will in some rcKpects be the most remarkable structure in the country. The peculiarity of the bridge lie in the fnct that the great river will be crossed with the foundations of evrey pier out of water during the ordinary stages of the river' Fitrt Rnt a Itckf libit. One mile west of Celilo, where the bridge site has been selected, the mighty waters of the Columbia are divided into several small and deep channel and run turbulently among walls of solid rock. Several channels will be crossed by trurs spans of steel, six of which will be 2.10 feet long. The seventh and longest f pan will be but 320 feet in length. In addition the Govern ment canal under construction at Celilo will be spanned and over this a draw 250 feet long will be swung. The piers are all to be constructed on the rock islands that divide the river into its numer ous channels at that, point. In addition to the truss spans the construction of a long steel viaduct will be necersary and for that pur pose 17 100 foot plate-girder spans and 5 75-foot plate-girder spans will be put in plaoe, resting on as umny concrete piers. For nearly 12 months before the completion of the Celilo bridge it is probable that the Oregon Trunk will be operating train into Central Oregon up the Deschutes Canyon. During 1911 a terry transfer will be in operation about four miles up the river from the bridge site, where the Columbia has ft wide and comparatively smooth channel. This forry will he put la operation this week for the purpose of transporting rails, ties and bridge steel across the river from a station established on the north bank of the Columbia. Ftirjr Carritl Matarial. Two long inclines or trestles, one on each side of the Columbia, have been constructed on 5 per cent grades. Rails have been laid on these incline and big scows cor strucled that will carry loaded can. Tho cars will he transferred to the scows from the North Rank road, carried across the river, run up the incline on the south bank and thence hauled to the points along the line where the material carried by tho cars is needed. A track laying machine is on hand, and, when once started, tracklaying will proceed with short interruptions at only two or three bridges until the tunnel on the 12 miles of joint railroad nt the Smith ranch is reached. It is probable that a longer tie-up will be caused there and it is now admitted that work on the tunnel will have to proceed with unusual rapidity for the rail road to be able to get Us rails laid to MadraB by January 1, 1911. The contract for tho steel at the first two crossings of the Deschutes river, which are at the Ox Bow near Sherar's wagon bridge, have been let also to the Pennsylvania Steel Company and this material will be delivered, Ills exctcd so soon that there will be no dulavs at the two e rot Mugs other than those occasioned by putting the steel in place Oiegoninn.
