Bridge Loss Persists on Snake River with New Spans Needed
The Snake River bridge remains unusable as the main channel shifted, making the approach washed out. Locals discuss a ferry, with two new river spans required to reconnect the line. Freight losses rise as Congress delays funding, and the bridge may not reopen for another year. A baby boy was born to Mr and Mrs A J Whidden at St John’s hospital. G W Kelly and family visited town. Ruth Calloway returned from Crystal Creek. Ira May and Lawrence Carlson’s families welcomed a child.
