STOCK IS TAKEN
ACROSS SLOUGH
AT TWENTY-MILE
Live Stock Can Be Successfully
Transported Across Lost Slouch
Now.
Superintendent of Transportation
Reaburn was informed over the
phone yesterday that the horses that
had been marooned on an island
near the old camping ground of Joe
> Pearson during the tenure of his
'contract with the Commission, had
been safely taken across Lost Slough
and housed in the barn at 20-mile.
I It is now certain that the live
stock that will be needed by the
contractors who have big grading
contracts out the line can be taken
I across the water and a movement
of these men with their outfits and
stock may be expected almost imme
diately.
: The news of the crossing of the
i stock was received late yesterday
evening and the majority of the
i contractors who have been held up
on this account were informed,
j Dave Patterson, George Palmer,
and Tom Cox are already making
| arrangements to leave town for their
camping grounds and they will be
quickly followed by several others.
Knute Roland’s stock are now on
the north bank of the Tanana river,
where they have been freighting for
the party of land office men under
; Woodbury Abbey.
Knute intends to get his horses
across as soon a he can and hit the
trail for his camp at the earliest
possible moment.
All of the contractors mentioned
have grading contracts on sections
of the road across the river and be-*
yond 43-mile camp, towards Lignite.
H. B. Joseph Is Selected to Fill
Vacancy Caused by D-. Smith’s
Departure.
The Red Cross board held a leet
ing last night at which H. B. Joseph
was elected to fill the vacancy on
the board caused by the departure
of Dr. Malcolm E. Smith.
It was also decided to send the
Nenana Red Cross cake to Fair
banks for the purpose of being raf
fled during the celebration of the
Festival of the Midnight Sun. v
It is expected that the cake will
be returned again to Nenana to be
raffled here during the festivities
in connection with the Fou -th of
July celebration.
After being raffled here, the Red
Cross committee intend to send it
to other Alaskan towns to be simi
larly handled. It will finally be
sent to the Red Cross headquarters
in Seattle, where it will be placed
on exhibition.
The cake, which is a beautiful
speciment of the baker’s and con- '
fectioner’s art, was manufactured
at the Tavern cafe- The proprietor
of which, Wm. Rodigkeit and the
employees donating their services
and materials that went towards its
composition.
It was raffled in Nenana and won
by L. P. Shoemaker, who returned j
it for the good of the cause
The box in which it will travel
has been donated by Superintendent
of Construction Packer.
LAUNCH VICTORY ARRRIVES
WITH MAIL AND PASSENGERS
The launch Victory, with Fred j
Douse at the wheel, arrived from j
Fairbanks yesterday evening with 1
the following passengers for Nenana:
R. Price, George Bennet, John Gil- j
bert, Walter Nelson, Ray Tom and
a way passenger, she also had Mr. |
and Mrs. Rost as passengers for'
Wood river from Fairbanks.
She brought a quantity of mail
from the upper town.
She left again this morning for
Fairbanks with the mail and H. P.
Curtis and S. E. Wing/of the West
Coast Grocery Co. as passengers. 1
ILITTLE FREIGHT
IS SEN! NOW 10
DISTANT CAMPS
’ Communication May Soon Be Estab
lished and Freight Moved to
Distant Camps.
Since the commencement of the
floods and the consequent blockade
of all roads and trails leading to
the more remotely situated camps
of the Alaskan Engineering com
mission, very little freight has been
moved, only such of the material
and supplies as were very badly need
ed being transported over with much
difficulty and danger of loss.
Stocks of supplies in the camps
situated beyond Lost Slough are
said to be somewhat low, and with
the receding of the floods, it is
expected that the officials of the
Commission will soon take steps to
resume the freighting of supplies to
the distant camps and replenish the
depleted stocks.
Besides the Commission forces em
ployed at and near these camps,
there are also many contractors who
are obliged to draw their supplies
from the Commission camps and
stores and their requirements in the
way of supplies have added to the
inroads made on the stocks assembled
prior to the coming of the water
blockade.
The majority of the contractors
are engaged in grading sections of
the road within the limits of Resi
dency 4 (mile-373) across the river
and beyond towards Lignite and a
good many of these men have estab
lished their camps and commenced
operations.
To meet just such a situation as
has been caused by the floods, quite
a large stock of material, supplies
and provender for the use of the
men and live stock had been sent
to the store at mile 373 (old 43
mile). This included a large supply
of fresh meat which is stored in a
specially constructed meat house,
which was described in these colunms
some time ago.
It is not known just when com
munications will be established and
the work of freighting material and
supplies resumed.
Reports received by Superintend
ent of Transportation Reaburn in- :
dicate that a few head of horses ;
were taken across the river at mile i
373, but the message did not state
the method employed for transport
ing them, but it is presumed that '
they were made to swim over.
The river here is very swift, but
not very deep, and none of the three
boats in use for ferrying and trans- '
porting supplies is sufficiently :
large for use in ferrying live stock.
It is expected that all of the
contractors now in town will soon
be at their camping grounds to com
mence operations and build the
grade towards Lignite.
