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.

sing.
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

Ilyrnes, former vko-presldont of tho

Railroad company Is the man behind
tho project and at work to bring It
ta.a successful conclusion.
The Post says on the subject:
'Briefly, .Mr. Ilyrnes' project calls
It costs less to ship goods from Chi
cago intended for San Francisco by
rnil to Hoston nnd thon by water
through tho Panama canal from this
city than all tho way by rail from
Chicago to tho California city.
"Truo, thoro is a tllfforcnt rato

sorbed by tho water routo from Hos

such n lino as I contemplata would
