OBSTACLES ARE
SURMOUNTED ON
RAILROAD GRADE
Swamps Are Successfully Got Over
On D Line, and the Finished
Grade Reached.
With the partial completion of
the roadbed over the last stretch
of swamp on the D line, the trials
and tribulations of the construction
department have come to an end;
and to quote Superintendent WT. L.
Packer, “real honest-to-goodness
finished grade has at last been
reached.” It is expected that the
work will now proceed at a consid
erably greater rate of speed than
was possible heretofore.
The finished grade which has
now been reached extends without
a break to the water’s edge at
Nenana Crossing, 43 miles south of
town. Beyond the river at the
crossing, the grade has also been
finished up to a point opposite to
the mouth of Lignite or Hoseana
creek, but there are a few gaps be
tween the crossing and this point
yet to be completed. This work
has been let out to contractors, and
it is expected that it will be com
pleted long before the steel reaches
the crossing.
The finished grade provides ample
space for the tracklayers to work
on and for the free and unhampered
use of the various appliances adopt
ed by the construction department
of the A. E. C. for extending the
road as rapidly as possible, and
from this time on until the Lignite
coal fields have been reached, it
is expected that about half a mile
of track will be laid daily.
; The new fjystem of laying rails
adopted recently by Superintendent
Packer, will be used and the work
of the tracklaying gangs simplified
and made easier. A very plentiful
supply of gravel close to the present
end of steel is also available, so
that the surfacing gang will also
be kept busy all the time,
j ■ When the steel gang quit work
for the day last night, Station No.
19588 had been reached, or a dis
tance of almost thirteen miles from
the switch near Fish creek, on the
old location. A short eight miles
remain to be covered by steel be
fore a junction with the old loca
tion is made, and it is expected
that this distance will be covered
in a few days more.
1 When the rails have reached
Station No. 18585 today, a spur
track will be built for a distance
of about 2000 feet for the accom
modation of the gravel cars, and on
completion of the spur, the big
Bucyrus excavator will be moved up
to a new bed of dry gravel in the
neighborhood of this track. The
steel laying camp will be moved
from its present location to the end
of the steel, probably on Saturday
night, and will be shifted forward
from time to time as the work
progresses. The surfacing camp
will be lftated on the dry stretch
of ground between the two swamps
and about a mile from the new spur ,
track.

Governor Riggs Proclaims Legal
Holiday and Urges Support
of Fourth Liberty Loan.
The following proclamation, is
sued by the Governor of Alaska,
sets apart a day on which Alaskans
| will be given an opportunity to re
spond to the country’s call and sup
j port the Fourth Liberty Loan to
the limit of their financial means.
It is hoped that Nenanaites, who
have always hitherto responded,
readily to all such appeals, will
come forward again and help the
country in her hour of need:
PROCLAMATION
“Never before has there been
greater need for the American citi
zen to show his patriotism. Coin
j cident with the floating of the
Fourth Liberty Loan has come the
j drive on the Hun for a German
made peace. Our answer will be
found in the efforts of our sol
diers and sailors in following parts
and in the Liberty Loan drive by
our civilian population. It is the
duty of every man and every wo
man, American or alien, even though
it entails sacrifice, to purchase a
bond. Our men in uniform offer
their lives; can we do less than
offer our money in the cause of
humanity?
Therefore, I, Thomas Riggs, Jr.,
governor of Alaska, do hereby pro
claim Saturday, October 12, 1918,
a legal holiday, to be observed as
Liberty Day throughout the terri-1
tory.
“Every effort must be made to
assist our government. Let our
slogan be ‘At Least twice Over the
Top.’
“Given under my hand and the1
seal of the territory of Alaska, in
Juneau, the capital, this nineth day i
of October, in the year of our Lord |
one thousand, nine hundred and
eighteen, and of the independence
of the U. S. the one hundred and
forty-second.
(Signed) THOMAS RIGGS, JR.,
Governor. j
By the government, signed,
CHAS. E. DAVIDSON,
Ex-offiieio Secretary of Alaska.”

BOSS CARPENTER
NOW IN SERVICE
Ed Cronin, chairman of the Ne
nana Local Board, received notifi
cation today that Chris Mortensen,
formerly carpenter foreman in the
employ of the A. E. C., had refused
to recognize any exempting regula
tions and has accordingly been in
ducted in to the service by the
Seatlte Local Board.
Chris Mortensen was a Norwe
gian subject, who had declared his
ntention to become a citizen of
die United States, and, as such, had
i perfect right to claim exemption
Tom military service under certain
:onditions. He left Nenana about
» month ago for the States, and as
ioon as he heard that all of the
'egistrants of his class had been
railed to the colors he wired to the
local board here inquiring whether
he had been called.
He was informed that he had not
been called as, he happened to be t
the subject of a country neutral in
the war and that he could claim
exemption. He promptly waived his
right, and going before the local
board at Seattle asked to be in
ducted.
