BROWER SIAGE
COMES 10 GRIEF
PASSENGERS SAFE
According to advices received in
! Fairbanks yesterday afternoon and
I transmitted over the phone today,
the Brower stage which left the up
■ per town last Sunday morning, got
into trouble on Fielding Lake, near
i Gulkana.
It would appear that the stage
went through the ice on the lake,
the horses being drowned. The pass
engers, however, reached land safe
ly, their baggage is reported to
have got soaked.
The passengers leaving on this
stage were Mrs. Metcalf, W. T.
White, of the government experi
mental farm, on his way to Sitka;
^ J. . \ anOrsde! of Nenana, who is
making a business trip to the States
and Earl McCreary, a former A. E.
C. employe, now in the army, and
on his way Outside for surgical
■ treatment for a broken arm.

ON OED R. R. FINE
Everything that could possibly be
salvaged from the abandoned rail
rod line south of town has now
been taken up, and the gang em
ployed in this work, under Foreman
Fred Douse came into town.
The switch at the beginning of
the D line has also been taken up
and the trains now swing onto the
D line on a slight curve, no trace
of the old railroad leading to Bailey
and beyond now remains except
the abandoned grade, which now
serves as a roadway for fishermen
and hunters seeking recreation and
excitment in the woods streams and
fields beyond.
Fi .. creek bridge, near the be
ginning of the D line, was the
last structure to be abandoned and
the bents of piling now remain to
mark the spot where the bridge
had been.
It is the intention of the Nenana
Rod and Gun club to be to build
a serviceable foot bridge on the
piling across Fish creek tomorrow.

RIVER RAILROAD
BEING TAKEN UP
I The calculations of the A. E. C. j
I officials in the matter of the send
, ing of material and supplies across
ithe river worked out correctly, and
'the last pound of freight was hauled
: across on the temporary railroad
| laid on the bed of the river.
’ The work was completed just
| about in time, as the river ice is j
showing signs of weakness, espe- j
i cially along the bank on the Nenana j
side, where the town sewers empty' -
, into the river.
|P
I The salvaging gang, under Fore-ij
man Fred Douse, who have com- j
I pieted the work on the abandoned! J
line, and came into town yesterday, j
were put on to take up the river j
: line, but in view of the rapid dis- , j
integration of the ice, Douse’s gang j
had to be reinforced by the gangs j
under Foremen Lee and Sullivan. j|
The big American ditcher, which j
' managed to get across the river just ||
in time, operating on the farther |
bank, hooked on to a section of ’
j j
the river railroad and hauled it j
over to the sandbar. A stout steel ,!
cable was used for this purpose. .
The section of the road along the s
Nenana side of the river bank was *
taken up by the Brown hoist. *
A short section of the track run- i
ning along the farther shore, on a j
"sandbar is still in service. This is f
being used to haul away the ma-1 "]
terial salvaged bv the American a
ditcher. It is expected that this a
work will be completed in a few! c
days more.
