ALMOST WRECKED
Alaska Is Snagged At Wood Camp
Near Hot Springs and Is
Delayed For Repairs.
Shortly after 11 o’clock Saturday
night, in a heavy gale of wind, the
steamer Alaska, while trying to
make a landing at a wood camp
about seven miles below Hot Springs
met with a rather serious accident,
necessitating a delay of eight hours,
j during which time temporary re
pairs were effected to enable the
■ boat to continue her voyage.
River steamers are not provided
with keels and it is therefore diffi
cult, at all times, to handle them
• when strong winds prevail. It ap
! pears that the Alaska was trying
: to make a landing at a wood camp
i below the mouth of Hot Springs
slough and the heavy wind prevail
ing at the time caused the stern
of the boat to swing in rapidly to
wards the bank, with the result tha1
a snag near the bank with which
the after part of the hull came intc
violent contact, tore a hole about
six feet long and about a foot wide
just at the water line.
The boat began to fill rapidly and
j took on an uncomfortable list tc
| starboard, and the passengers, most
of whom were in bed at the time
were ordered ashore. All of the
baggage and freight on the boat was
run off and landed. The water in
the hull, at its highest stage reached
to within an inch of the main deck
Pumps and syphons were set ago
j ing and the hole torn in the sterr
| quarter was repaired temporarily
I the pasengers being allowed to re
j turn on board at one o’clock ir
the morning. The situation was noi
! without its humorous aspects and it
was a queer sight to see the pass
i engers seated on the baggage whicl
j littered the river bank near th(
1 scene of the accident partaking o:
: sandwiches and coffee handed ou
I by the steward’s department, am
1 fighting mosquitoes all the while.
The repairs having been effected
the steamer proceeded to Tanani
at seven o’clock yesterday morning
where the repairs were consolidate!
and the boat was enabled to con
tinue without any further delay
According to the marine bulletii
received this morning, the boat wa
up Rampart at 6:30 o’clock today.

doing duty as fireman on one of th
big locomotives, and was promote
to the position of engineer on loc<
motive 270, the promotion takin
- effect on July 5th.
It Porky is now awaiting a reply 1

j with the boys of the first draf
i now at Fort Gibbon, and as soon i
J he has received notification from th
i proper authorities, will resign h

BOYS OF DRAFT
WANT COMRADES
TO JOIN FORCE
; First Nensns Contingent Wants to
Make Company B the Most
Efficient in the Regiment.
The following telegram, which is
self explanatory, was received by the
Nenana News this morning from
Fort Gibbon:
“Fort Gibbon, July 14, 1918
“News, Nenana.
“We have been informed that the
Local Board of Nenana has inter
fered with a number of enlistments
on account of technicalities in the
draft laws. The commanding officer
here is informed that all within the
age limit have the right to offer
their services and wishes to inform
them that if they come to Gibbon
all of those who are fit will be ac
cepted. We are all more than satis
fied with surroundings here and
would like to have more Nenana
boys to help us make Company B
the most efficient company in the
Fourteenth infantry
“THE BOYS.”
It has been felt by many, that
there is too much red tape con
nected with the operations of Local
Boards, and that this has, in some
cases, put a damper on the ardour
of many of the boys anxious to en
list and get into training in the quick
est possible time, instead of waiting
to be drafted; and the news con
tained in the telegram from the
Nenana boys will be received with
much satisfaction by those who have
been awaiting official action.
MUCH MATERIAL TURNED
OUT BY A. E. C. SAWMILL
The sawmill of the Alaskan En
gineering commission is working full
capacity and the average daily out
put is about 12,000 feet board meas
ure of lumber of all sizes. ,
The material turned cut consists
of the various sizes of boards and
other lumber ranging from 1-inch
board to 10x12x24 bridge stringers;
the principal output being 2-inch
planks of varying lengths.
The 10x12 size bridge stringers
are only turned out when a log over
24 feet in length comes up to the
saw.
All of the slabs and waste ma
terial is cut into 4-foot lengths and
hauled to the yard at the back of
the power plant and stacked there
for use as fuel for the boilers. The
sawdust is also hauled away and
used to fill in the holes and other
• depressions in the Commission
grounds. ,
There was a million feet of lum
ber in saw logs assembled in the
immediate neighborhood of the saw
mill just before the breakup, and
nearly all of it was rolled into the
water, protected by the boom before
the mill commenced operations, and
a great deal of it has already been
sawed up.
Last week four small carloads of
saw logs came in from out the line
and four rafts of them came down
the river. Some of these rafts con
tained ties and piling in addition to
saw logs. The ties and piling have
now been unloaded and stacked up
in the yard and two of the rafts
of saw logs have been floated intc
the boom. The other two rafts
which consist of saw logs only, wil
also be floated into the boom anc
the water space in front of the bip
dock where the rafts now lay wil
be cleared.
A run, that is considered a recort
for this size mill and crew, wa:
made just recently when they turner
out 14,100 feet of lumber in eigh
hours.
The crew of the sawmill, at th<
present time, consists of nine men

FANS SEE GOOD
GAME OF BALL ON I
LOCAL DIAMOND:
—
A Very Good Game of Baseball
Was Played By the Boys
Yesterday Afternoon.
In spite of the hot weather pre- i
vailing, a fairly good crowd assem
bled at the grandstand yesterday to
witness a game of baseball played
between teams representing the
Commission and the town.
The ground was in fine shape and j
some classy ball was put on, the
rooters from the grandstand greet
ing every piece of individual bril
liant play which manifested itself
during the course of the game.
The batteries were Mike Meagher
and Harold Anderson for the Ne
nana town team, and Ike Taylor and
Jack Hanson for the A. E. C- The j
play was very close throughout and
ended in a score of 7 to 5 in favor
of the town team.
Tomorrow evening at 7 o’clock,,
the-two teams will do battle again,
with a readjustment of the forces
to equalize the strength of each
team. An addition of one of the
regular team will be made to the
winning and two of the losing side
in yesterday’s game.
It is to be hoped that the people
of Nenana will support the athletes,
and help them to pay off the cost
of the grandstand and other im
provements made to the grounds.
Any balance remaining over after
these matters have been attended to
will be turned over to the Red Cross.
