STEEL IS LI !
BEYOND GLACIER
ON NEW D LINE
_
The bridge across Glacier creek
on the D line which was completed
yesterday was used by the work
trains this morning for the first
time, and the extension of the rails
beyond the bridge and towards Lig
nite was resumed today.
The Brown hoist left tow'n last
night for the end of steel and will
be used in tracklaying operations.
From the southern end of the
Glacier creek bridge and extending
up to Station No. 18764, the grade
has been partly completed under
contract. This portion of it will
be finished on force account, coin
cident with the laying of steel.
Beyond Station No. 18764 the
completed grade will be encountered
ar.d there will be plenty of room for
the steel gang to work alongside
of the cars which will be used to
carry the rails and ties. When this
section of the grade has been reach
ed, it is expected that working with
the Brown hoist will be discontinued
and the flat cars with the new sling
attachment will be used.

APPEAL IS SEN!
LOCAL CHAPTER
FORJAST-OFFS
Hoover Appeal* to Local Red Cross
Chapter for Used Clothing
of All Kinds.
The following telegram was re
ceived yesterday by the secretary of
the local branch of Tanana Valley
Chapter of the Red Cross, from
John A. Clark, of Fairbanks.
“Herbert Hoover appeals Red
Cross chapters for used clothing,
all kinds, for suffering Belgian
people in occupied territory. Col
lect all possible before September
thirty and ship commission for re
lief, Newark, New Jersey, by freight
collect sending shipping notice to
same commission at 165 Broadway,
New York and reporting to me
total weight shipped.”
It is to be hoped that Nenanaites
will respond to this appeal as liber
ally and enthusiastically as they
have done in the past in other
directions, as the condition of the
Belgians in the conquered territory
is deplorable and the need for aid
very urgent and immediate.
Mrs. J. R. Bowen, chairman of
the local branch of the Red Cross
chapter, announces that she will
make arrangements for the collection
and shipment of the articles of ap
parel which the people may wish
to donate to the good cause and, in
the meantime, will be glad if those
who are willing to contribute to
wards the comfort of the suffering
Belgians, will assemble the articles
they intend to donate.
On a date to be announced later,
a wagon will be sent around to col
lect the articles so that they may
be got in readiness to be shipped
to Newark, N- J. as early as possible.
It must be remembered that the
close of navigation on the river is
at hand and the time at the disposal
of the local Red Cross branch is
very limited; and Nenanaites are
therefore urged to give this matter
their immediate attention.
There are a great many of us
who have quantities of surplus used
articles of apparel which we will
never use, but which will in a very
large measure alleviate the suffer
ings of the people in war torn Bel
gium. We will never miss these
articles, in fact, a great many of
us will be tickled to death to get
rid of them and here's a chance to
get rid of them in a very worthy
cause and contribute even in a small
measure to the comfort of a brave
people who have lost practically all
they possessed and been reduced
to a miserable state as a result of
the war and the outrages committed
by the Huns.
Start immediately and get to
gether all those things that you
do not use and will in all proba
bility never need, and have them in
readiness for the team that will
be sent around to collect them. Do
this now, there is no time to lose.
GERMANS ADMIT LOOT
TAKEN FROM BELGIUM
NEW YORK.—Open confession of
German plundering Belgium and of
plans to continue it were made at
a meeting of the German Economic
Commission for Belgium held at
Brussels, June 19, 1915. German
official report of this meeting has
just now come into possession of
the Belgian government and has
been made public here by the Brit
ish Wireless Sendee.
Governor General von Bissing
stated at the r.-eeting that the short
age of raw materials in Belgium
was partly due to the fact that they
were carried away at the beginning
of the war- Thosuands of machines,
he said had been transported to
Germany to make war munitions.
Von Bissing said that he had two
aims, the good of Belgium and the
prevention of any revival of Belgian
industry which could harm German
industries. He explained his solici
tude for the good of Belgium by
adding that "a squezzed lemon loses
it value and a bad cow gives no
milk.”
NENANAITE GETS
MY MOTION
Norman Anderson, Former A. E. C.
Employe, Is Second Lieutenant
In Training Camp.
Many N’enanaites will remember
'Norman Anderson, who was for
some time working as timekeeper
in the head office of the Alaskan
jEngineering commission, and who
latterly resigned to accept a posi
tion with the American Yukon Navi
gation company at Fairbanks, which
position he relinquished to enlist in
the army.
Shortly after enlisting Norman
was stationd at Camp Johnstone,
Fla., where he was promoted to the
rank of corporal after a short term
of service.
The following extract from a
letter written by Norman to his
uncle, Herman Anderson, of Ne
i nana, tells of his promotion to the
rank of second lieutenant and that
, he is attached to a company for
i overseas duty:
Camp Hill, Va.. August 13. 1918
“Just a few lines to let you know
I am still among those present—in
! The U. S. A. Up until a month
j or so ago I was stationed at Camp
Johnston, Fla., working at head
quarters of the camp. On July 5th
I received an honorable discharge
| from the army and was appointed
I second lieutenant, QMC, and sent
|to this camp to be assigned to a
I company for over the seas duty.
; So far I have not been assigned,
but expect to be any day. At pres
ent I am attached to an over the
| seas company for instruction. 1
| am not very well acquainted with
| the duties of an officer as yet. How
ever, I am learning. When I en
listed last November as a private
j I never had any idea of ever be
coming an officer and the chances
are I would not have been had it
not been for favorable circum
stances. My first assignment was
for duty at the headquarters of
Camp Johnston and remained there
i until commissioned. I had an oppor
tunity to learn a good deal about
army paper work and was given
i charge of a small department, with
eight men under me, after serving
in the office several months. I kept
a record of all the men in the camp.
“My duties in France, or where
ever they may send me. will be with
! stevedore or labor companies. If
placed in stevedore work I will be
at the docks, and if in labor work
I will be any place from the docks
to the front line. I know nothing
definite at the present time con
cerning my duties.”
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
IN THE NANANA NEWS
In its issue of the 11th, the Ne
nana News published the fact that
ticket No. 178 for the raffle of the
Noeller cabin was lost and invited
the finder to return it to this office.
Later in the evening of the same
day William Goodpaster told the
News representative that he had
found the ticket and would bring
it to this office next morning. The
ticket is now in the office and will
be restored to the owner. One ad
did the work.
