December 5, 1931: "The Hoffman bridge over Crabtree creek a few miles north of Crabtree will be condemned to heavy traffic and will be replaced by a new structure next year as the result of an investigation made this morning by County Commissioners Renninger and Warren.
The examination showed that the chords are rotten and not safe for heavy loads.
The county is arranging to post a notice on the bridge and will repair it so that ordinary traffic will be safeguarded during the winter.
When the new bridge is constructed, the road will be straightened to eliminated the present dangerous curves, members of the court stated." (Albany Democrat-Herald)

April 18, 1932: "It was on Mr. Beran's place that some of the longest trees in the country recently were secured for bridge construction in connection with the Hoffman bridge over Crabtree creek. It was difficult to find two suitable pieces, each 100 feet in length, near the bridge site, hence the quest led to the Beran timber, which is one of the fine stands of virgin timber in the lower foothills of the Cascades. Two pieces of 70 feet each also were acquired in the Beran timber. Art Lettenmaier and Curtis Griffin worked up this timber for bridge purposes, and delivery of long timbers required skill at some of the sharp curves in the roads used for transporting the materials from the forest to the mill site."

The bridge, which is a 100 foot span with approaches on both ends, eliminated a rickety old structure that had been condemned and several sharp bends in the road.” (Mill City Logue)
