LOCATION PARTY
FINISHES WORK
The engineering party known as
location party No. 3, under the
supervision of Engineer Herbert K.
Ward, who were sent out some
time ago to relocate a section of
the right of way for several miles
beyond Lignite, have completed the
work and are now on their way
in to Nenar.a.
The party, which is composed of
thirteen men all told, are reported
to have reached Camp 373 at the
Nenana Crossing last night, and it
is expected that they will arrive in
town on the train coming in this
evening.
As soon as the relocated piece of
road has been mapped out, and
working conditions are favorable,
grading work on this section of the
road will be undertaken.

LOVELACE SENIOR
RECEIVEO LETTER
On the last mail R. Lovelace, who
is employed as a machinist by the
Alaskan Engineering commission, re
ceived a letter from his son Russell,
a Ruby registrant and a member of
Co. B., 14 th Infantry, dated at
Camp Dodge, Iowa, October 6. The
young man took sick of the influe
enza shortly after he had written
the letter referred to and died a
few days later. His body was ship
ped to his home in Everett, Wash
ington, where it was buried.
It would appear that there were
a great many cases of the epidemic
at the Iowa training camp at the
time our boys reached the place.
The letter from the late Russell
Lovelace is as follows:
Camp Dodge, Iowa, Oct. 6, 1918
“Dear Dad:
“We just arrived here today from
San Francisco, where we stopped
four days at the Presidio. It took
us four days from San Francisco to
get here.
“It took us fifty-six days to get
here from Fort Gibbon, as we laid
over eighteen days at St. Michael,
and took on a company from Nome,
then stopped at Fort Liscum and
Fort Seward and took on troops
there.
“It was rotten on the transport
and I sure was sick; but from Frisco
to here we certainly had a fine
trip. All the towns along the way
the Red Cross nurses would give us
candy, fruit, post cards, cigarettes,
and coffee and they certainly treated
us fine.
“Everybody out here is pulling
for all they are worth for this war,
and the whole country is sticking
i behind us.
I
“There are between twenty and
i thirty thousand, soldiers here.
I “There are about two thousand
peases of Spanish influenza here; it
is a contagious disease that comes
from a cold, and is a kind of grip;
.there h-re been some dying of it.
“The whole camp is quarantined,
and I suppose we will not be allowed
to get to town for about sixty days.
I don’t like it here; it seems like
the edge of the world, and is awfully
hot and sandy here.
“I sure will be glad when we get
: out of here, and I think we will
; probably be split up and put in
; different company’s or sent to diff
ernt parts of the country.
“Will close, as I have more letters
to write. My address is, Co. B.,
14th Infantry.
“With love,
“RUSSELL.”
NENANA IS HT
BY COLD WAVE
For the past few days the tem
perature has dropped some, and Ne
nanaites began to realize more fully
that the long Arctic winter is really
1 on. Since last Friday the mercury
has steadily dropped, and yesterday
was the coldest day experienced thus
far, the readings at the weather
observation station showing the maxi
mum to be 27 degres below zero,
and the minimum 38 degrees below
zero.
The temperature registered at the
observation station for the previous
day was: maximum 10 below; and
minimum 35 below zero.
There was a considerable rise in
the temperature this morning, the
I thermometer at the Portland reading 1
15 below zero.
