CASCADIA
South Santiam River
February 19, 1915: "County Commissioner T. J. Butler came up from Albany Monday and in company with County Commissioner J. D. Irvine, left Tuesday morning on an inspection trip which took them as far as Cascadia. They returned Thursday. The trip to Cascadia was made for the purpose of determining whether a new bridge across the Santiam would be constructed at Cascadia this year and the county bridge about two miles below dispensed with. In an Interview, Mr. Butler expressed the opinion that the county would construct a new bridge at Cascadia, Mr. Geisendorfer, proprietor of Cascadia Mineral Springs, having agreed to stand about half of the expense. The old county bridge, it was found will require the expenditure of a considerable amount of money to put it in safe condition. This being the case, Mr. Butler, thought, the money could well be used in the construction of a new bridge where it will do the public much more good." (The Brownsville Times)
March 26, 1915: “County Commissioner T. J. Butler, who is a bridge builder himself, is busy these days on plans for new bridges for Linn county. He has just completed plans for the longest bridge ever built over single sticks in this county. The bridge is to cross the river at Cascadia, and the timbers that it rests on are 115 feet long and 12 by 15 inches in thickness. They are now on the ground, having been gotten out of the timber in that district by G. A. Geisendorfer, proprietor of the hotel at Cascadia. Mr. Geisendorfer is furnishing the material for the bridge at a cost of about $300, while the county is doing the work. The total cost of the bridge will be about $800. The work on the bridge will start about July 1st, or just as soon as the roads become good through the mountains.” (The Brownsville Times)

January 18, 1928: "Linn county will construct a new bridge over the Santiam river at Cascadia to take the place of the present covered bridge, which connects the Santiam highway with the summer resort. The present structure is unsafe for travel and must be replaced immediately, county authorities declare.
Yesterday members of the county court and County Engineer C.H. Leonard visited the bridge site to obtain data for the site of the new bridge. The new structure will probably be built at or near the site of the present bridge." (Albany Democrat-Herald)
