October 1, 1909: “A raft of lumber for the bridge across Ten Mile creek was towed out to sea Tuesday and taken up the coast to near the mouth of Ten Mile. There the raft was cut loose and drifted on to the beach near the place it is to be used in constructing the bridge.” (The West)

October 7, 1909: "L. N. Roney arrived home last evening from Heceta Head, on the Lane county coast, where he has been building a bridge across Ten-Mile creek for the county. The lumber for the bridge was towed up the coast from Florence, but owing to a storm some of it was dashed to pieces on the shore before all of it could be landed." (The Eugene Guard)
October 8, 1909: “We learn from Ira Bray that the raft of lumber which was taken up the coast last week to build the bridge across Ten Mile Creek, drifted ashore about a mile and a half further up the beach in a place where it is very difficult to get the lumber out. Some of the lumber was broken to pieces as it came on the rocks. L. N. Roney informed us Monday that a windlass had been rigged to hoist the timber up the bank to where teams can get to it, and it will be hauled out on wagons. He said more lumber will have to be taken up to replace that which was broken.” (The West)

March 16, 1910: "L.N. Roney and Ira Walton take the early train tomorrow morning for Newport and from there will stage it to Waldport and will be met by Mr. Bray who takes them to Ten Mile creek, where with other help they will swing the 100-foot bridge that Mr, Roney started for the county last fall and had to give up on account of not being able to get lumber in. They will be gone until April 1." (Morning Register)
May 8, 1918: "Ethan Collier, deputy county surveyor, is engaged on the work of drawing plans for the new bridge over Ten-mile creek, which was destroyed by high water the past winter." (The Eugene Guard)
May 25, 1918: "Sealed bids will be received by the county court of Lane County at Eugene, Oregon, until Saturday, the 8th day of June, 1918, at the hour of 1 o'clock p.m., for the construction of a covered wood bridge with approaches over the Ten Mile creek on county road No. 522 in Sec. 34, Tp. 15 S., R. 12 W., W.M.: the span to be 96 feet long and approaches 75 feet long: according to plans and specifications now on file in the office of the County Clerk, Eugene, Oregon." (Morning Register)
September 15, 1918: "L. N. Roney has returned to Eugene from the coast country, where he built two bridges for the county, one over Ten-Mile creek and the other over Cummings creek. They are located well up toward the Lincoln county line.
The bridge over Ten-Mile creek has a span of 90 feet besides the approaches, and the one over Cummings creek is 50 feet long, not including the approaches.
Mr. Roney was compelled to hew out the heavy timbers by hand, and was fortunate enough to find a number of redwood logs that had floated up on the ocean from California and had been cast upon the beach. These were worked up into foundation timbers. Redwood lasts longer than any other wood, it is said, and on that account makes excellent timbers for piers and bents." (Morning Register)
