TELLS OF DOINGS
IN NENANA M
(Nenana News.)
On June 15, of this year, just two
years from the arrival of the first
party, another crew of men, headed by
F. H. Bailey, who, incidentally, was in
the first party to arrive in 1914, ar
rived and that day started the work.
The actual construction, however, and
the day which will be celebrated an
nually by thepeople of Nenana as an
niversary day is July 7, the day on
which the commission started to drive
piling for the waterfront. That day
marks the commencement of the real
town of Nenana, and it will be re
membered as such.
Coal Next Fall.
According to estimates made by Mr.
Riggs and Mr. Bailey, coal will be
landed in Nenana about a year from
now, provided the commission is able
to get its freight and supplies next
summer and is able to secure the men
necessary to do the work. To a repre
sentative of the News, Mr. Riggs said
that the commission could use 5,000
tons of coal this winter if it were
available and will want a much larger
supply next year.
The coal mines, of course, will be
operated by private parties or com
panies, and it will depend upon them
as to whether or not the fuel will be
ready for shipment as soon as the
railroad is ready to receive it.
WaterVront Reserved.
At the present time, there is a
waterfront, with piles driven along the
whole length for a disttance of ap
proximately 1,000 feet. Of this 700
feet has been reserved for the com
mission dock and warehouse purposes
and will be retained for that purpose.
The remainder of the wharf will be
leased to private parties. None of it
will be sold, as the government wishes
to retain control of the waterfront.
Telephone System.
If no private company or individ
uals build a telephone system, the
Alaskan Engineering commission will
provide one. Mr. Riggs stated today,
; however, that the commission would
| prefer to have this matter handled b;
private partties.
An order has been placed for a big
up-to-date sawmill, which will be in
stalled on the ground below town
which has been used for a basebal
park during the past summer. Thii
will be an electrically operated plant
The sawdust from the mill will bi
used for filling purposes and for fue
; for the power plant.
The amount of lumber to be sawec
! will depend upon the time that th>
I plant arrives in the Interior. But Mr
j Bailey stataed thaat he thought full;
! 2,000,000 feet would be cut next sum
mer.
Over 500 on Payroll.
At the present time there are ove
500 men on the payroll of the Alaskai
Engineering Commission. At the clos
of business for the month of Augus
there were 495 people, including th
contractors and their men. Since tha
time 75 more names have been adder
bringing the number up practically t
600.
Of these, about 200 will be kep
busy this winter during the col
months. As soon as weather condi
tions permit next spring, thenumbe
will be increased, Mr. Riggs estimat
ing that fully 1,500 men will be em
ployed before the end of the summei
At the Fairbanks end, working tc
ward Nenana, about 700 or 800 me
will be working.
The commission will not import an
men from the states, as it has <ylopte
a policy that all men must come t
the interior and secure their employ
ment on the ground.
SOMETHING WENT WRONG.
In explanation—the big five-ree
picture “ Victory,” that had been ad
vertised to be shown tomorrow (Sun
day) at the Harmony theatre, ha
been delayed in shipping and will b
shown when it arrives.
In place of it there will be showi
another feature that is equally a
good if not better, this also is a five
part photoplay in which is star re
Gordon De Maine. This picture wa
filmed from John Hymer’s famou
novel ,“ In the Shadow,” and was pro
duced by the Excelsior Feature Filr
Co.
For tonight (Saturday) one nigh
only as usual, for this day is a com
edy bill with three rollicking come
dies, the Selig Tribune News, and
beautiful travel picture of Frenc
Guinea in West Africa.
