SOLDIERS SEARCHING
FOR THREE STRANGERS
ATLANTIC PORT.—A search is
being made of the woods near this
place in an effort to locate three
strange men who made their appear
ance at a house yesterday and sought
food. The woman to whom the re
quest was made has informed the
authorities that the men wore strange
uniforms and that only one of them
could talk English. They indicated
to her that they had landed in a
small boat or on wreckage, and it's
believed by officials that the men
are Germans, possibly members of
the crew of a destroyed submarine.
The launch Peerless, which left
for Fairbanks this morning, passed
Chena at four twenty this afternoon.
The following passengers were on
board: Frank Soboal, H. E. Pratt,
Herman Rosburg and Jim Zistand.
The man who grows more food
adds to the wealth of the world;
the man who grows dollars may ba
adding only to his own wealth.

WATERS OF NENANA
! CAUSE BIG WASHOUT
News of a serious washout on the
Government railroad at a point on
the completed track, approximately
one mile to the south of Bailey
station, was received by the officials
of the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion yesterday, and gangs of men,
have been diverted from other
branches of construction work to
remedy the damage done and permit
of a resumption of train service.
, It is expected that a line, to go
around the gap caused by the wash
out, will be constructed as soon as
i possible, and that train service to
Camp 15 will be resumed tomorrow.
1 All of Foreman Lee’s gang who
were engaged in surfacing work, as
well as the section gangs, have been
put on to repair the damage and it
is confidently expected that a ser
vicable line of a temporary character
will soon be constructed and in
working shape.
The spot where the washout oc
curred showed signs of weakness
some time ago, and shortly after the
breakup a large quantity of logs,
brush and bags filled with dirt wt s
placed in position in an effort to
prevent bank erosion.
Indications pointed to the fact
that the insidious action of the en
. croaching waters steadily cut into
the bank at the base and gradually
undermined the section of land on
which the grade had been built with
the result that a large portion of
the grade collapsed entirely and was
washed away, leaving the rails and
ties suspended in the air.
As soon as possible ga lgs of men
were put on to throw the line back
to the new grade now in course of
construction to carry it.
If the plans of the Commission
are not changed and it is decided to
I continue construction along the line
] located by Bailey, it is though prob
1 able that bank protection works on
a large scale will have to be under
taken, piling driven for a consider
able distance parallel with the track
and the space between the low of
piling and the grade filled in with
durable material to withstand the
action of the waters.
The Nenana river in the neigh
borhood of the washout swings
sharply in the direction of the grade
with the full force of the current
bearing on the bank close to the
grade. Temporary measures, with
a view of breaking the force of the
current, it is thought will not be
sufficient, as the river at this point
will remain a constant menace with
every recurring breakup and attend
ant floods.
Should it be finally decided that
the new survey line be chosen for
the construction of the grade, the
starting point of the road on the
new location will be several miles
below this washout and further dam
age from this source in the future
will not be posible.
COMMISSIONER DE VANE
IS HOMEWARD BOUND
—
The launch Dixie Queen left Nenam
last night on her homeward voyag(
with her owner, Commissioner De
(Vane and Pat Whalen on board foi
Ruby. The launch expected to make
good time on the down river run
as the defects in the engine that hat
developed on the up river trip hac
been corrected while at Nenana.
i Mrs. Cecil Clegg, wife of the Fair
banks attorney, is also a passenger
for Hot Springs, where she will meet
her husband, who isi engaged in
mining in the Woodchopper district.

Hellenius, the missing mail carrier,
who was last seen alive near Camp

direction of Jack Desmond and will

men are J. R. Fowle, P. A. Thelin,

Several men who have been in
cluded in the draft under the select

They will leave for Fort Gibbon

Extra Session of Legislature May Be
Necessary to Provide Funds
For Repairs.
j HONOLULU, T. H—An extra ses
| sion of the territorial legislature
I seems likely in the immediate future
I to make an emergency appropria
j tion available for the island of
i Hawaii to repair the tremendous
havoc wrought by recent storms.
As a result bridges were destroyed,
roads washed out and hundreds of
acres of cane and rice lands flooded,
the damage totalling $200,000 or
more.
Transportation around the island,
, which is almost wholly by vehicle is
j tied up, the roads being impassable.
I The gale is the worst that has visited
the big island in half a century.
To prevent additional losses thru
failure to get ripening crops to
market, an extra session is impera
tive so that money for other pur
poses may be made available for
] the repairs. To accomplish this, it
is necessary to amend an appropria
tion act passed by the 1917 legis
lature as the territory has no
emergency fund.
It. is planned to have the session
last but five days, all senators and
j representatives to donate t.neir sal
aries to the Red Cross, which would
approximate $9,000.
The U. S. District Attorney has
suggested that if the session is call
ed, special legislation be enacted to
give the territorial courts authority
j to handle certain kinds of anti
| American acts.
LAUNCH BOUND FOR TANANA
ARRIVED LAST NIGHT
Roy Lund’s launch arrived last
night from Fairbanks on her way to
Tanana with Ed McAdam as pass
enger, and left for Tanana this
morning.
Mr. McAdam, who some years ago
built the barracks and wireless
building at the army town, figures
on putting in a bid for the construe-1
tion of the new barracks planned
for the accommodation of the Alaska
registrants who will be sent to Fort,
Gibbon for military training.
We have to put every ounce of
effort behind the men behind the
guns.
