STACKS FOR ALL
AT HOP TONIGHT;
TOWN WIOE OPEN
Union Hall Hat Been Transformed
Into Oldtimo Gambling Joint
for Red Cross.
If you have never experienced
the wide-open ways of the old camps,
or just wish to refresh your memory,
go with the rest of the population
to the Union Hall tonight for the
Big Doings for the Red Cross. Foi
there you will see the dance hall oi
’98 revived, and a carnival of gamb
ling and drinking in progress thal
would almost come up to the descrip
tions of Rex Beach or Jack London
and may possibly result in an S. O. S
for Billy Sunday.
Faro, roulette, craps and blaei<
jack layouts will be in the hands ol
experienced dealers and you can gc
go as far as you like. There wil
be a prize given to the lady am
gentleman who accumulates the mosi
Nenana-made money during the even
ing, and so it may be expected thai
some tall stakes will be gambled for
Victor Durand will furnish the
music for the dancing, his violir
being augmented by the player pianc
kindly donated for the occasior
from the Presbyterian church- The
use of the hall has also been donated
to the Red Cross, and William
Gagnon has accorded the use of the
lower floor which he has leased.
All of the business houses have
agreed to close between the hours of
10:30 and 1 o’clock, so there is noth
ing to prevent Nenana’s population
getting together enmasse for the
occasion.

IMPORTANT PARI

One of the features of the Bij

the raffling of, a monster marbl
cake, the winner getting, in additio
to the cake, a $50 life membershi
in the Red Cross. Betty Fostei
with a corps of assistants, will b
in charge of the affair.
To indicate that this is not th
common, or garden variety of cak.
it may be mentioned that a specie
pan had to be made wherein to bak
it. This was donated by Williai
Gilcher. A board for it to sit o
is the contribution of Charles Berg
man. The materials which go t
make up its lusciousness were donate
by the crew of the Tavern cafi
while James Colmer, chef at th
Tavern, made and decorated i
Assurance is furnished by the Re
Cross committee, and all concerne
in the building of the cake, that th
word “marble” is descriptive onl
in the sense that the ingredient
have been so beautifully blende
that the inside of the cake resemble
in appearance the finest Italia
marble.

Recent news from Camp 22 indi
cate that the Bucyrus dragline exca
vator, which has been stripping a
block of ground about 950 feet in
length and about 75 feet wide, ex
cavating this to a depth of about
four feet, had finished this work.
The crew going on shift last night
moved the excavator to the original
starting point and on resuming the
work of excavating found that the
gravel bed that had been previously
stripped had thawed out nicely and
the material to be of the very best
quality for ballasting and surfacing
With the added facilities of a third
locomotive and the Lidgerwood un
loader now available at all times, it
is expected that the force under
Foreman Fred Craig will handle no
less than 100 cubic yards of gravel
daily. The gravel bed will probably
be excavated to a depth of from
10 to 14 feet, the machine moving
back to the end of the siding from
time to time as the required depth
in the gravel bed has been reached.
Ton finish off the few gaps re
maining in the railroad grade be
tween Camp 9 (20-mile) and Nenana
Crossing (43-mile) and to build the
section of the right of way across
the river beyond the Nenana Cross
ing, grading contracts have been let
to the following:
Andrew Zeboff & Co., have been
awarded a contract on a section of
the grade on Residency 3, under the
supervision of Resident Engineer
George G. B. Richardson, from Sta
tion 18198 to 18200 (Weir’s loca
tion) and 18206 to 18209 (Weir's
location). The partners of this con
tract are Andrew Zeboff, Pete Ros
off and Alfred Starr.
Ivory St. Clair & Co., composed of
Ivory St. Clair and George Palmer,
will build the grade from Station
17433 to 17461 plus 75, a distance
of 2875 feet, the .date set for the
completion of the contract being
August 1st.
Knut Koland has been awarded
a contract to build the grade from
station 17314 to 17399, August 10th
being the date set for the comple
tion of his contract.
The last two mentioned contracts
are within the limits of Residency
4 and under the supervision of Resi
dent Engineer Kenneth Case.
All of the stationment mentioned
had successfully completed grading
contracts on various sections of the
right of way last season. It is ex
pected that several more contracts
for grading work will be let soon.
