COHESION TO
ERECT HOSPITAL
NENANA CANTON
Some idea of the importance and
dangerous character of the work
now in progress and contemplated
beyond the end of steel, south of
Nenana, may be gathered from the
fact that the Alaskan Engineering
commission is about to commence
the construction of an emergency
hospital at the Kestly camp, in
Nenana canyon.
Dr. Malcolm E. Smith, chief sur
geon of the local hospital, made a
trip to the conyon on Saturday for
the purpose of selecting a site for
the new structure, which will be
20x30 feet in size, with beds for
six patients, living quarters for the
doctor in charge and a nurse, and
a dispensary.
When questioned regarding . the
plans, Dr. Smith explained to a
representative of The News that
the dangerous character of the work
in the canyon warranted the erec
tion of such a building as is con
templated. equipped to treat such
emergency cases as doubtless will
develop as the railroad work prog
resses. Powder cases and injuries
resulting from cave-ins, rock slides
and the like will require prompt
surgical attention, and it will b>
possible, with such an emergency
hospital as is planned, to render al
most immediate aid. and to prepare
cases for the main hospital in Ne
nana, should it be necessary to send
any of the patients into town.
Dr. T. O. Lake, assistant sur
geon at the Government hospitai,
will have charge of the new hos
pital, assisted by a man nurse.
The hospital building will be built
close to the Kestly messhouse, and
the meals for the hospital staff and
patients will be prepared by the
camp cook.
Worl the hospital will start
immediately.

, When interviewed by a repre
jsentative of The New? today rela
jtive to his first ride on the main
jiine of the Government railroad, to
'the south cf Nenana, United States
Marshal L. T. Erwin, who came to
Nenana several days ago to have a
general look over the district,
spoke enthusiastically of the man
ner in which the road has been
built. "I don’t mind telling you,"
the marshal said, “that the road
south of Nenana is a big surprise
,to me. 1 did not expect to find
.anything nearly so substantial, and
the roadbed is at least fifty percent
smoother than I thought it would
be. The ride which we had over
the line on Saturday certainly was
a revelation and more enjovabl°
than many rides that I have taken
I on old-established roads in the
! States. Your passenger coach,
! which is a home-made affair, with
out springs, actually moves over the
roadbed with less jolting than many
of the modern cars in which I have
; traveled in the States. The work,
in my opinion, has been very well
i done.”
• The chief object of the marshal
dn making the trip over the road
Was to have a look at the Burns
coal mine, which is being developed
by Gust Peterson and associates.
He dreaded the trip just a little,
believing that he would be kept
busy holding himself in his seat.
And. as he says, he was very agree
ably surprised to find the roadbed
jso smooth. He was accompanied
: on the trip by Roadmaster W. L.
.Packer and Deputy Marshal James
Hagan.
, The manner in which the coal is
being mined also was a revelation
to the marshal—a big: improvement
over the methods employed in the
coal mines of the South, where a
, very large amount of the coal must
! be shoveled by hand after it is
knocked down. At the Bums mine
' there is no shoveling, all the coal
being loaded into the cars easily by
means of a series of slides from
'the stopes.
i The application of practical and
efficient method* impressed the mar
shal greatly and he believe* it will
not be long until the operators will
