RAILROAD IS STARMBOUND;
TRAFFIS IS INTERRUPTED
The Government railroad and the
telephone and telegraph line be
tween Nenana and Anchorage have
been put out of commission tempor
arily by storms and snow in the
Southern division, according to ad
vices which have sifted through to
Nenana during the past few day-.
A washout is reported to have
interrupted traffic on the railroad at
Montana creek, south of Hurricane
Gulch and it is also reported that
the wires have been wrecked for a
distance of 20 miles between Hurri
cane and Anchorage.
The washout at Montana is said
to have been responsible for the
non-arrival of the mail on yester
day’s train. It is not definitely
known when the mail will arrive,
but it thought it may reach Healy
by Wednesday night, in which event
it will arrive in Nenana on the
Thursday train.
Snow and soft weather along the
railroad during the past week or
two have caused considerable an
noyance at various points in both
divisions. Slides have been of fre
quent occurrence in the Canyon dis
trict, necessitating much extra work
and a genera! slowing down of con
(struction in the Canyon district.
The storm of the past several;
days also has interfered with the
work of the section gangs along
the line to such an extent that "t
has been found necessary to re
duce the forces materially. There
was a general movement of section
men toward town on Saturday.
It is believed the damage at Mon
j tana creek will be speedily repaired,
• if it has not already been attended
; to; but it is expected that consid
j erable time will be required to re
i store telegraphic communication.
OLDTIMERS WILL BE HOSTS
