Acting on instructions received
yesterday from Chairman Edes, who '
is still in Washington, Engineer in j
Charge Fred'k D. Browne has called :
for bids for the clearing of the j
right-of-way beyond the end of the |
grade south of Nenana, and will j
soon put a considerable force of men
at work building a wagon road to- j
ward the coast. The wagon road
will follow the railroad location to
a point near the Xenana canyon,
where a detour will be made to
avoid the rocky bluffs. Later on,
when railroad construction is re
sumed south of town, the wagon
road will be transformed into the
grade, thus consolidating considera
ble work which otherwise would be
duplicated.
The work of building the wagon
road is to be carried on as rapidly
as conditions will permit, it being
the evident desire of the chairman
to have the road completed between
ends of steel before weather con
ditions compel a suspension of ac
tivities. A road gang attached to
the Secrest location party is now
working toward Xenana from the
coast end of the railroad, and it is
probable that both outfits will con
tinue work until they meet.
Later in the summer, if funds
permit, it is the intention of Mr.
Browne to erect a number of build
ings near the canyon, to house ma
terial and supplies for use in con
nection with the rock work contem
plated in Xenana canyon, and for
the accommodation of the men who
will be employed on that work dur
ing the coming winter.
