NEW SERI WILE
“Who Is Number One?”, a Para
mount serial in fifteen episodes, will
be started tomorrow night at the
Coliseum. The introductory pres-;
entation will consist of one episode, ;
but thereafter two episodes will be ;
shown.
Kathleen Clifford, internationally;
known as a musical star and vaude
ville headliner, plays the leading,
role in this greatest of all mystery .
stories, the first serial produced by
the Paramount people. In the very
first episode she establishes herself
as a serial actress of the first rank,
and, as the myterv unfolds, or rath
er. deepens, she displays marvelous
screen charm and unusual daring.
The picture is something cm the
order of, but better than. “The Mill
ion Dollar Mystery,” familiar to all
h'enanaites.
Episode number is entitled "The
Flaming Cross.” It shows the plot
ters aginst the mind and fortune of 1
Graham Hale, millionaire inventor,
ready to strike. There are thrills
from the very start. The introduc
tory chapter will form part of the
regular Saturday show.

STEEL IS LAID
10 CAMP CREEK
I
Tracklaying operations in this di
vision came practically to an end
i this week with the extension of the
main line south from Nenana to
Tamp creek, close to the north end
of Nenana canyon, where the rail
road forces will be engaged during
the remainder of the winter in rock
work. Some additional steel will be
laid in the canyon district, but the
rails have reached the southern limit
of extension for some time to come.
Camp creek being the site selected
for the establishment of the canvon
'
camp, which will be in existence un
til the completion of the rock work
in that district. The next work
undertaken by the track gang prob
ably will be the laying of a “Y" at
the end of steel.
The track camp, now located in
' cars near the coal mine, will be
moved to the end of steel on Sun
day and used until the new camp
buildings are ready for occupancy.
The work of erecting the buildings
will start next week and will re
quire the services of a considerable
number of men. Carpenters will be
sent out on Wednesday to begin
the work.
The camp buildings will include:
engineering quarters, messhouse.
bunkhouse, two warehouses, warm
storage warehouse, blacksmith shop,
store building, powder-house. TNT
house, cap and fuse house. The ma
teria! used will be rough lumber,
the walls to be double boarded, with
paper between.
When the buildings are ready for
occupancy, supplies will be shipped
out to the new camp for distribu
tion among the rock contractors dur
ing the winter, and before the
breakup next spring, additional sup
plies be forwarded from the
headquarters store in Nenana to
carry on the work practically all of
next summer, as a precaution against
interrupted traffic resulting from loss
of bridges during the summer.
The rock work contemplated in
the canyon will give employment to
a considerable number of men for
some time. Fred'k D. Browne, en
gineer in charge, estimates that
there will be work probably for 150
men in the canyon district—perhaps
200. The number will be limited
only by the amount of material and
equipment available for the work.
Some of this work will be taker,
in hand by staiionmen within a short
time. The contracts will be given
out as fast as the work can be lai 1
out by the engineers, and the con
tractors will get bust as soon there
after as they can establish their
camps.
