IS DRIVE PILING
Work of Putting Bridget Acrou
Little Coldstream Will Be
Finished Soon.
The crew of men sent out some
time ago to Camp 51, situated about
^ I nine miles from Nenana, on the Ne
I nana-Fairbanks line of the Govern
j ment railroad, for the purpose of
| driving piling for the bridge which
V l will span Little Goldstream, have
f
| made rapid progress with the work
entrusted to them and expect to be
11 through about the end of the week.
♦ i
The bridge, when completed, will
be 120 feet long, requiring eleven
bents of five piles each, with an in
tervening space of twelve feet be
tween each bent- Up to last night, j
when the work for the day had ;
ceased, eight bents had been driven, j
^ and it is expected that the driving
^ of the remaining three bents will be
finished by Saturday afternoon with
out much difficulty.
The work of cutting off and cap
ping the piling will be left for the
> bridge gang to complete later on,
this gang will probably be detailed 1
for the work from the force under i
Engineer Hawley Sterling. Mr.
Sterling’s men are forging ahead
steadily towards Nenana.
On completion of the work of driv
ing the piling, the party will break
up camp and return to old Camp 6,
which is situated at the foot of the
bluff just across the river from Ne
nana. They will probably be en
gaged in driving the necessary piles
for the contemplated dock on the
farther side of the river. This will
be definitely decided after Mr.
Browne arrives and assumes charge
of the division.
Little Goldstream is reported to
f j be breaking up rapidly and carrying
an unusually large volume of water,
>
j long stretches of open water with
.
I numerous overflows where the ice
• still lingers, being noticed for a
considerable distance up and down j
stream from camp.
The sportsmen of the party are j
daily being treated to the sight of i
large flocks of ducks and geese I
lighting on the marshy lands ad
jacent to the camp and within easy
range, and are bemoaning the fact
that there is not a single gun of
any kind in th1 camp, and none to
be had within a radius of many miles,
while the ducks, geese and swans
j frequently come and go with tan
j talizing regularity every day.

EO. FORBES BACK
4 FROMJHE COASI
Among the recent arrivals in Ne
nana is Mr. E. W. Forbes, who came
in with a load of freight from the
consignment recently brought into
Fairbanks by W. E. Terrill. Mr.
Forbes, who is in charge of the live
stock and corrals under the trans
portation department of the Alaskan
Engineering commission, left for the
States on the 12th of December last *
to spend his vacation with his family,
and says that despite the sloppy
condition of the country, Alaska
looked good to him after his trip
to the great Outside.
While in the States he bought a '
fine team of horses which he brought '
in for work here, and at Chitina 1
joined forces with Billy Terrill and 1
freighted in over the trail. While 1
on the trail, the party experienced !
a series of delays and minor acci- 1
dents due to the weather conditions,
the journey from Chitina to Fair- ]
banks consuming thirty days.
Ed is glad to be back and figures '
that he is luck to land in Nenana s
before the trail went to pieces, and 1
without any worse mishaps than ’
those experienced enroute 1
__(
Wheeled vehicles made their ap- ^
pearance on the streets today, evi- *
dence that the season of sleighing is
at an end—finally. Pete Schmidt *
was first on the streets, with his
summer water wagon outfit. The
Mitchell-Blankfield dray was also i
out, on wheels. j

LEAVE HERE SOON
Mr. J. R. Lamb came into town
yesterday from Residency 4 (43-mile)
where he was engaged in supervising
the work done by the piledriver in i
the construction of the big bridge;
which will carry the track across I
the Nenana river at this point. His
term of service under contract with
the Alaskan Engineering commission
having expired on the 4th instant,
he has resigned his position and now
awaits the opening of navigation to
take passage for the great Outside.
Mr. Lamb was one of the first
party of the Alaskan Engineering i
commission employees that was sent
to Nenana to commence the work
t>f constructing the Government rail
road and landed here from the steam-,
sr Delta in the spring of 1916, when
Nenana was only a collection of!
cabins, and has seen the town grow
to its present proportions.
During his term of service with
the Alaskan Engineering commission,
Vlr. Lamb was variously employed
n the mechanical engineering part
>f the construction work, and, prior
to being sent to supervise the build- i
ng of the big bridge at 43-mile, \
vas mechanical foreman in charge jif ;
this branch of the service.
Men of Mr. Lamb’s experience and ;
ittainments are in great demand in
he States, and he plans to offer his
lervices where they can best serve [
the country’s needs as soon as he
•eaches the Outside.
