ENGINEER IN CHARGE SAYS
WORK IS MOVING STEADILY
Railroad construction is moving
i along steadily in the Canyon dis
jtrict, according to Engineer in
! Charge Fred'k D. Browne, who was
i in town this week to confer with
| the people of Nenana relative to
the transfer of the power and water
plants. The second bridge between
Tunnel No. I and Tunnel No. 2
will be ready for steel within a
few days, when it will be possible
' to extend the track through Tunnel
No. 2, to a point a short distance
beyond, where more bridge work is
• under way. There will be three
bridges between Tunnel No. 2 and
.Tunnel No. 3.
The work of driving the Xenana
river bridge is about completed and
! it is expected that the Wednesday
’ train will be able to go through to
I Healy, with the promise of unin
terrupted traffic thenceforth until
another breakup necessitates the
! dismantling of the structure.
Mr. Browne expressed consider
able pleasure over the outcome of
his conference with the public
utilities committee of the town and
assured The News that everything
possible would be done by the
Alaskan Engineering Commission to
j insure the successful operation of
! :be public service plants under the
'joint arrangement agreed upon. He
, sa:d the Commission desires to co
I operate in every way with the town
and expressed regret that c-ircum
: stances had forced the Commission
; to discontinue the operation of its
! plants as heretofore: but he believed
| the town would be the better on
; for having assumed the responsibil
| ities of local management. He said
that he felt the step about to be
taken by the people of Nenana
i would result in creating greater in
. terest in town affairs and bring con
i tentment and solid town building.
Mr. Browne returned to Hea!y
I this morning to meet Col. Mears.
who is enroute over the trail on a
trip of inspection.
CROWD COMING TOMORROW
ON FAIRBANKS EXCURSION
The first of a series of ball games
between the Fairbanks and Xenana
bail teams will be played in Xenana
tomorrow afternoon, and the indi
cations are that there will be a
big crowd in attendance from the
upper town. A special train will
bring the excursionists down to
morrow morning, leaving Fairbanks
at eight o’clock, and arriving here
about noon, and it is reported that
nearly 100 persons are planning to
make the trip. More than the neces
sary number of tickets had been
sold two days ago.
The Xenana ball boys will play
a return game at Fairbanks a week
from tomorrow, and arrangements
will be made to take a Crowd of
fans along, as has been done by
the Fairbanks team, and it is hoped
that a number of such excursions
can be arranged later
Manager Tom Mathews, of the
Xenana team, says he has a bet
ter lineup than appeared in the
Fourth of July series, and he is
confident tomorrow’s game will be
the best of the season.
The game will be called at two
o’clock.

BOUNDARY SURVEY PARTY
IS MAKING GOOD HEADWAY
Under date of June 23. the cor-'
respondent of The News with the
Mount McKinley National Park sur
vey party, writes that "we are now
encamped within the park limits,
just inside the boundary line separ
ating the park from the Kantishna
country. Rainy weather was experi
enced every day since leaving He.alv,
but up to yesterday afternoon this
consisted of occasional showers on
ly. Yesterday afternoon, however,
we experienced a heavy downpour,
which continued until late at night.
The creek, on the west bank of
which we are encamped, became a
stream of considerable size after ~
the rain and seems to be still ris
ing.
Most of the boys were away from
camp, freighting supplies to the
camp ahead with a pack train, and
bringing up supplies from the sup
ply camp at the headwaters of the
creek. The chief of the party re
mained in camp to make up his
periodical reports so that they could
be sent in for mailing on the sup
ply wagon leaving this morning.
The mosquitos have been plenti
ful, being especially annoying during
the brief speels of sunshine between
showers, making a liberal use of
buhaeh in the tents, and large
smudge to protect the stock, im
perative.
“There are two sick horses n
camp.
"It rained heavily again this
morning and the sky is overcast,
portending further showers and more
mosquitos.
“Yesterday, just before lunch
time, a dam was hastily constructed
across Pinto creek, wtth stones, and
those who remained in camp en
joyed the rare pleasure of a cold
plunge. The chief was the first to
go in, followed by Bob Toussaint,
Phil Hough and Sourdough Sid
Perham. The last named had never
before taken so cold a plunge but
declared he thoroughly enjoyed the
experience.
On the west bank of the stream
on which we are encamped, there
are several veins of coal of good
quality and we are using some jf
this fuel in the camp stoves suc
cessfully. The coal is flakey and
comes off in slabs. It burns freely
and holds fire a long time. Dry
wood is rather scarce around the .
camp and the coal, therefore, comes
in very handy.
“Everything is in readiness to re
sume freighting this morning and
we are only awaiting a break in
the weather to make a start. From
our camp on Pinto creek as a base,
the light wagon is used to bring
up supplies from the end of steel
to this point and the pack train is
used to freight the supplies to the
camp beyond, the wagon and team
remaining at Healy most of the
time awaiting supplies, so that the
horses get most of their feed there.
Thus, much needed space for freight
is gained and feed for the use of
pack horses only is hauled. Leaving
Healy as soon after the arrival of
f k .YVmtik.Y« 1'.WtTV.W.Y.Y.«WY
me train as possible,, the wagon,,
makes the temporary camp at the •
head of Dry creek on the first leg ■
of the journey, spending the night 1
there, resuming the road next morn- 1
mg and reaching the camp on Pinto 1
:reek the same night, where the 1
freight is taken on by the pack I _
train. There is no road from Healy j _
to this camp and Jack Pierce, who
has the freighting by wagon to do,;
senses his way over the hills and
across the broad mesas and namer- j
ous streams and has, so far, navi-!
rated the wagon very successfully, j
“June 25—Xo let-up in the !
leather yet; mosquitos as bad as
ever. If th re is a much further rise
of water in the streams we have to
:ross, freighting may have to cease,
it least temporarily, and for a time
*e nay be up against it for sup
plies. The game seems to be rather
e-rce, too.”
T *putj- Marshal William Futler
turned to Healy this morning
ifter° a stay of several d ys in
own on business.
