sent for service on the Nenana
Fairbanks line across the river, »s
now being converted into a steam
shovel, and will be used to get the
necessary material from a side cut,
a few miles out from camp 415, for
a long fill across a swamp.
It is expected that the machine
will be ready for service in a day
or two andthat as soon as frost con
ditions will permit, it ■will be put
to work to aid in extending the
road toward Fairbanks.

415, situated at the foot of the
bluff across the Tanana river, the
railroad line traverses a stretch of
low lying land for a distance’ of
about . 2000 feet, requiring a four
foot fill to make it ready for the
rails. This fill -will be the first1
job to be done by the steam shovel,
the machine being moved ahead in
accordance with the progress made.

JACOBSEN BACK
Victor Jacobsen, better known as
the “Scurvy Kid”, arrived in town
yesterday evening with his dog team
from Nome. He traveled by way
i of Unalakleet and Kaltag, covering
the great distanc in sixteen days’
traveling time.
He quit his postion here with the
j A. E. C. and went to Nome early
: last summer, remaining there thru
j out that season and until the end
! of winter.
He was there when the flu broke
' out and contracted the disease him
self. He was in the hospital nine
days with the first attack. After re
covering, he worked a few days and
got a relapse, from which he suf
fered eleven days Shortly after
being discharged from the hospital
the second time, he had to seek ad
mission again, as his heart was
, affected as a result of the two at
tacks of the flu. This kept him an
other ten days in the hospital.
The hospitals of Nome were full,
he says, when the disease was at its
height, and the post doctor, the only
available medical man, was on the
job practically all the time. The
town doctor, who was down with
the disease, sharing part of the bur
den as soon as he had recovered
sufficiently to do so.
The Roman Catholic hospital,
which had been closed 'ast fall, was
reopened to take care of the flu
patients.
‘•Scurvy” had a hard time on the
long trip, notwithstanding the fact
that he had a team of thirteen dogs
and a not very heavily laden sleigh.
He would have made better time,
he thinks, if the trails were in bet
ter condition than he found them.

INDIANS RETURN
10 THE VILLAGE
FROM HUNTING
The Indian village, near the
mission, -which has been more or
less deserted, has again sprung into
1 being, as it were, with the return
of the Indians who have been away
nearly all winter long, on their
1 customary hunting trip.
Sixteen dog teams pulled in on
Thursday, followed by a few more
today. All of the sleds were loaded
down with meat for the use of the
Indians during the summer, and
until they can go out hunting again;
and the skins for tanning and con
verting into moccasins and other
articles. Some furs were also
brought by them.
A few’ more dog teams, which
are expected in within the next
few days, will bring in the rest of
the tribe.
All of the returning Indians had
been hunting and trapping in the*
Middle river country and the hills
beyond, where moose, caribou and
mountain sheep are met with in
large numbers.
As soon as they get settled down
the work of preparing their fish
wheels and nets against the salmon
run will be taken in hand.
