LOW PARTY
INI OUT MY
; TO CHANGE LINE
Supervising Engineer Herbert K.
Ward, with M. C. Edmunds, Grant
Allen, A1 Wigland and Jess Green
left on the early train this morning
bound for the Lignite country, for
the purpose of relocating the rail
road south from Dry cre.ek. Mr.
i Ward will be in charge of the
party, which will be known as Loca
tion party No. 3, and will probably
1 go into camp in the neighborhood
of Healey river, using the cabins
| erected there some time ago.
There will be about sixteen men
in the party and Mr. Ward will pick
! the men he will need from the
i
| camps along the line. As the rail
road work within the limits of Resi
| dency 2 is now almost complete,
Mr. Ward will probably get soma
: of his party from the men under
i Resident Engineer Hawley W. Ster
' ling. Arndt Greve, transitman with
j Engineer Sterling, will, it is thought
- act in a similar capacity with Mr.
Ward’s locating party,
j The principal reason for the re
location of the line is to throw the
line farther back from the Nenana
river and thereby prevent encroach
ments from this source; it will alf-o
| shorten the line to some extent.
The locating party will be com
1 plete on reaching the Nenana Cross
I ing at 43-mile, and they will also
receive their entire camping outfit
there. This will be hauled to their
; camp site by the pack train sta
tioned at the crossing.
It is expected that the location
i partv will be in the field for about
! ,
j six weeks.

Writing- from Napa, California,
under date of September 4, William
Casey informs Frank Rourke, of
this city, that he had a pleasaiTi
trip out and is now enjoying life
in the delightful Napa valley, divid
ing his time between his ranch ami
San Francisco. At the time of
writing W. E. Kenyon, former em
ploye of the Commission, was a
guest at the Napa ranch.
“Billy”, says the letter, “thinks
this is the most beautiful place he
ever saw. As you know, orange
and lemon trees are all over the
yards. They look good to Bill.
“I bought a car—a Buick—while
in San Francisco, and we can both
run it now. Fred Ryus and his wife
called us up on the phone from
Sonoma last evening and drove
over. We went to some friends of
theirs and mine, a local judge (a
young fellow) and did not leave
until two a. m. We told them all
about Alaska, had- a swell midnight
lunch and a very pleasant visit.
Ryus will go to Russia soon I think,
with the engineers.
Things are booming out here.
All seem to have plenty of money.
It is work or fight. No one idles
Billy Robinson and Anderson have
a fine hotel in San Francisco, on j
Geary street, opposite the Columbia
theater. Most of the Alaskans stay
there, and some wait a week for
a room. Healey is treating for his
eyes. J. J. Fallon arrived in San
Francisco a few days ago. He
seemed glad to get out. Kenyon
will go to work here.”
In closing, Casey desired to be
remembered to his many friends
here.
There is work for every person
to do in this war—food is ammuni
tion, are you wasting it?

On the last mail Norman Russell
received the following letter from
G. Fenton Cramer, secretary to Gov
ernor Riggs, regarding the Fair
banks Boy Scouts’ activities in the
i Third Liberty Loan bond drive.
Juneau, Agust 30, 1918
i Norman Russell, Fairbanks, Alaska.
‘‘Dear Norman:—I enclose here
with a newspaper clipping taken
. from the Brooklyn Eagle, of Brook
lyn, New York, which describes your
trip down the Tanana river for the
purpose of selling Liberty bonds.
I thought it might be of interest
to you to know that your name is
being published in such a far-off
town and I trust that you will feel
your work was well rewarded by
uiis recognition.
“Sincerely yours,
j “G. F. CRAMER,
“Secretary to the Governor.”
Below follows the clipping, which
appeared in the Brooklyn Eagle,
of August 11:
SELLING BONDS IN ALASKA
At the best, Liberty Loan cam
paigning isn’t easy work. But some
of the Fairbanks, Alaska Scouts had
more than their share of difficulties,
1 according to Boys Life.
There was Norman Russell, lor
instance. He mushed about forty
miles down the Tanana river to
where the captains and pilots and
crew's of the river boats were in
their winter quarters and came away
with $7,250 pledged for the loan
Scout Sam Ivey lived at Chat
anika, forty miles from Fairbanks.
He didn’t have the fun or incentive
of working with the other boys,
and that made it harder. But all
alone he visited the mining camps
along the creeks and came away
with twenty-two subscriptions, total-!
ling $3,150.
Eugene Beraud made the record
of the troop, with sixty-one sub
scriptions, totalling $15,800. Scout
Teddy Buzby lived out in the coun-:
try, but he sold $2,200 worth.
Some of the boys were working
all day, at that they ‘rustled one or
two, anyway’ just to do their share. ,

success in selling bonds of the Third 1
