EARTHQUAKE WRECKAGE
USED FOR WAR RELIEF
WASHINGTON, D. C.—How the
; Amei^can Red Cross in Italy is
capitalizing an earthquake by using
part of the wreckage of the 1915
disaster at Avezzano and Sora to
construct a badly needed day nurs
- ery at the latter place, is told in
a cable to national headquarters in
Washington. No new building ma
terial being available, the Red Cross
collected enough bricks, timber and
metals from the ruins of Sora, for
a building to care for 400 babies
while their mothers are attending
to harvest duties.
The earthquake of 1915 practically
wiped out Avezzano and Sora. The
people have been trying to live in j
the debris of their homes and many
; of them are destitute.
Captain Georpe Green, popular

tract to carry the mail into the Koy

IN HER BIGGEST SUCCESS
The Poor little Rich Girl
RELIANCE GOES
10 1 TANANA
AND HEAVY TOW
The steamer Reliance arrived in
Nenana at an early hour this morn
ing from Chena and sailed about
an hour afterwards for Tanana,
where she will render all assistance
to the steamer Tanana, which has
three barges of freight in tow and,
according to latest reports was hav
ing a hard time getting over the
bars at the confluence of the Tanana
with the Yukon river.
The steamer Tanana left the sta
tion at Tanana with two barges
in tow, containing approximately 800
tons of rails for the Alaskan Engin
eering commission, and a few tons
of other freight, representing the
last of the season’s freight to come
in via St. Michael. It would appear
that the draft of the barges made
it impossible to get them over the
bars that occur at the mouth of
the Tanana river, and accordingly
another barge was used to lighten
the others with.
From all accounts, the troubles
of the Tanana did not end with the
lightening of her tow, and the
marine bulletin issued this moring
says that she was still trying to get
into the Tanana river.
With the powerful aid of the
steamer Reliance, which should reach
the mouth of the river tonight, it
is thought that the barges will be
safely got across and into the Tanana
river, and the whole flotilla may be
expected to arrive in Xenana some
time on Monday.
Both steamers will help in the
unloading of the freight and will
then take the empty barges down to
the Tolovana river, where they will
winter, the steamers finally sailing
for Fairbanks to be dry docked.
The passengers landing at Nenana
from the steamer Reliance this morn
ing were J. Renza, Frank Petrock,
Frank Melby, M*rs. W. Mitchell and
Mrs. M. O’Bryan. She also brought,
the mail and a little freight for
local merchants.
