:• Much speculation was rife in
•i Nenana, following the action of the
filibusterer during the closing- hours
•: the last congress, and the failure of
:• passage of the bill carrying the ap
•: proprlation for railroad construction -
j: in Alaska, regarding the attitude of
«i the Alaskan engineering commission,
It was generally known that elab
orate plans had been made for the
pushing of construction work on this
division of the railroad during the
coming season, always provided that
the money to do so would become -
available in the ordinary course of
events. The unlooked for action of
congress cast a gloom over everybody -
who had the interest of the district
at heart, and dire possibilities were
predicted.
A telegram from Chairman Edes of
the Alaskan engineering commission
reached the local office of the A. E. C.
=“ yesterday regarding railroad opera
J'j:] tions, and in the absence of Englneer
in-Charge F. D. Browne, Superinten
ijij dent Packer, replying to the message, :
stated his views and made certain
recommendations in regard to the
jij: carrying on of the work in this divi- 1
sion.
This morning a telegram was re- i
ceived from Chairman Edes, which .
xj will be hailed with pleasure by all i
jx Nenanaites. In this message he says 1
that, owing to the great scarcity of '
•j: funds with which to carry on the i
work of construction, Engineer Gerig, 1
in charge of the Anchorage branch, 1
and Engineer Weir, in tharge of the i
Seward branch, who had been in- ’
formed of the state of affairs, have
agreed to accept half of the wages due 1
tlie forces in cash and to wait until
July, when ample funds will bo avail- '<
able, for the balance due. If this ar- '
rangement can be made on this divi- (
sion also, the chairman authorizes a f
continuance of the construction pro- t
gram as planned. He says that he 1
hopes to be able to push the work ]
north of Nenana later in the season, <
and that therefore the work of moving t
supplies, material and equipment <
across the Tanana river to the future <
camps is to be continued according to
the plans made. The chairman also
wishes to be advised as to how much 1
money would be required on this divi- 1
Sion to push the work toward Fair
banks, as well as to lay track south ,
of Nenana' toward the Lignite coal
fields, for the period up to July first.
I He enjoins strict economy in every •
direction. j
I Packer immediately called the heads
of the different departments together
in consultation and ascertained that
everybody would be perfectly willing
=*■ to accept 50 per cent of the payroll in
cash until July, so that the work on
the railroad could be continued unin
teruptedly to a successful termination.
Mr. Packer accordingly informed
Chairman Edes by wire of the de
cision arrived at here, and thus an
arrangement that will be perfectly
satisfactory to all concerned will be- .
come effective immediately, and there .
will be no cessation of rairoad activity
on the Fairbanks division.
Some time ago, when a serious
shortage of funds threatened to tie up
■ the construction work on this division
of the government road, Superintend
ent Packer, personally and through
his foremen, sounded the railroad
workers out the line and in the Ne
nana yards regarding a similar
scheme which would permit of the
construction work 'being carried on.
The men signified their willingness to
continue on the payrolls without pay, •
if need be, being perfectly willing to
trust Uncle Same to pay them later
on, when congress saw fit to pass the
appropriation bill. The material and
supplies on hand were ample for all
purposes and the men were to be al
lowed enlarged commissary privileges
only.
It is understood that Engineer in
Charge Browne acquiesced in this
scheme and laid the matter before
Chairman Edes, but the latter vetoed
it and consequently a large number of
men had to be laid off.
Superintendent Packer stated today
that the forces now employed will be
considerably strengthened later on,
and that the work will be pushed for
ward as rapidly as possible without
any let-up until the desired end has
been attained.—Nenana News.

BOXING AGAIN
LEGAL IN IDAHO
AND NEVADA
_
SAN FRANCISCO, March 26—With
he recent enactment of law permit
;ing twenty-five round boxing matches
n Nevada and twenty-round bouts In
Idaho, followers of pugilism look for
i revival of ring contests in the west
vhich will, In a measure, approximate
he days when the sport flourished
lere a half a dozen years ago.
It was in Reno that the Jefferson
rohnson championship bout was
’ought in 1910 for a purse which, up
0 that time, was the largest ever
>ffered for a ring contest. Being on
1 direct line of transcontinental
'ailroad travel, and within hailing
iistance of San Francisco, Reno suf
ered but little handicap in the matter
>f getting a crowd to witness the
tattle.
California is limited by law to four
•ound bouts. An effort is being made
n the present session of the legisla
ure to permit of ten-round contests,
n the event that this is approved it
itill must be voted on by the people
md sanctioned by them before it can
jecome a law.
According to the original plans of
Pex Rickard, who is promoting the
iVillard-Dempsey championship bout,
he fight was to have been staged on
ruly 4, at a place yet to be determ
ned. Recent developments indicate
his date may not be adhered to. Ac
cording to reports, Rickard is said
o have expressed the opinion that
he celebration of Independence day
his year might take on a new selemn
ty, owing to the great war, which
vould make a prize fight out of keep
ng with the tone and spirit of the
loliday, and arouse antagonism.
Both Reno and several Idaho towns
re angling for the proposed contest,
rhe former city has an advantage
iver its rivals in the matter of being
elected by reason of the Tact that
wenty-five rounds may be fought in
Nevada, whereas the law of Idaho
lermits only twenty rounds. Other
onditions which must be weighed by
he promoter are accessibility, in
irder to get his crowd, and the finan
ial inducements made.
