Tim big Southern Pacific bridge across Coon Day at North llend Is n wondorful structure. It was built for'ycarB of use and In slzo and sub stantial construction compares fav orably with tho big bridges of tho westom rallroadB. Tho estimated cost of tho bridge was a million and a qimrtor dol lars but It Is said that tho actual coHt will bo kept within that amount. Engineer C. It. Droughton of tho Southern Pacific had chargo of tho building of tho bridge. Difficult nt First Thoro wore many difficulties at first as It was noccBsary to land all machinery and nmtorial at North Bond and then transport It down tho bay on scows and 'land It ngaln on tho Hand hills opposlto North 31oml. This necessarily mndo tho work Blow at first but when tho falsework wns built thoro was niado a dock so that vessels could unload tho material right whero It was needed. Prom SO to 100 mon woro em ployed most of tho tlmo on tho bridge. Tho long trcstlo was built nut from North Ilond and tho brldgo work was started from tho other nlde. As tho piers woro mado tho brldgo propor oxtonded on out. Tho assembling and connecting of tho stool work of tho brldgo was done under contract by McCreary and Wlllard of Spoknno. A Long Structure Tho brldgo propor Is 21 CR feet long. On tho north sldo thoro is a trcutlo 1 HO feet long and on tho iiouth Hide extending out from North Bond thoro 1h a trcstlo li.r.20 feet long. This makes tho entire strue tura from shore to shoro counting trestle and bridge propor, G.IIIS foot long. There nro In nil fourteen piers. Kxtondlng nut from tho north sldo thoro nro olght plors. Then next Is tho contcr plor, and on tho oth er sldo thero nro flvo more plors. Two Channel On each side of tho centor plor Is an opening 200 feet wide. Tho draw with tho contcr pier, and two 'openings, takos up 158 feet. Tho channel on either side of the cen tor will ho open for navigation. Tho draw of the brldgo Is tho largest In Oregon. Tho draw of tho bridge across tho Willamette- Is tao feet, 2S foot shorter than tho draw of tho Coos Day brldgo. All of tho piers nro K0 feet apart rxcoptlng tho two nearest tho con "tor on each side and they are 180 foot apart. Mndo Coffer Pains Tho plors were made by building coffer dams, driving piling nnd pumping out tho water and then fill ing In with concreto. Tho renter liter is round. It is 118 feet in di ameter at the bnso and III feet In ill nniotor at the top. Within the clr olo woro driven Mil pllos. Tho con croto oxtonds down C3 feet and un der it tho piling extends down 30 foot more, ('outer Pleco Perfect In tho mlddlo of, tho centor plor of tho brldgo Is tho pivot on which vests tho entire weight of tho draw. This pivot Is mado of steel and works on a dial pf bronzo which rests In oil. Tho mechanism of this pivot Is absolutely perfect.

Much .Material Uned An enormous amount of mntcrlal wus used to build tho brldgo. About 700 tons of concreto wns used to , make the piers and tho steel will nggregnto about 2,800 tons. Tho last shipment of steel has arrived and boon delivered nnd tho work Is being rushed. Difficult nnd dnngerous as was much of the work It was carried out without ser ious accident to tho workmen. Hulls Are Hclng Laid While tho bridge Is being built the work of laylug mils nt points betweon Coos Hay and tho Sluslaw, river continues. Tho road la being J finished, from tho Sluslaw, south, and from Coos Hny, north, to tho' Umpqun river whoro a brldgo will mako tho last connection. Itoach North Lake North from Coos liny tho steel ' rails nro laid through Tunnel No. 7 and Engineer V. IIlHilinnrsh, of tho Southern Pacific, has tulcon his track I crow off tho construction until tho trcstllng has been complotod through' tho North Lake district. Then tho Inylng of tho rails will bo started, again and nino remaining miles' Into Reedsport on tho Umpqun finish- j od by tho first of tho year. Delay in getting out piling for tho trcstllng has caused closo to n month's delay, according to Kenneth Hnusor, of tho Hausor & Uuuucr company. Long Piling Needed Piling 115 feot long hnvo boon nec essary and It has proved oxtromoly (difficult to got out theso long sticks which must not bo moro thnir 22 In chon nt tho butt. Mr Hausor says that thoro romnlus about 1,100 feet of trestle work yot to bo completed, nnd that tho men ,'nro working through as quickly as pOBR8lll0. It has been expected this work would bo out of tho way by the mld dlo of tho month, hut the dolnyJu getting tho piling haa been tho draw back.
