NATIVES SHOW INTEREST
IN VISIT OF PRESIDENT
I
When President Harding reaches Ne
nana next month he will find the
natives all “doUed up” in honor of
the momentous occasion. A number
of the natives who have returned to
town during the last several days
with furs, have invested goodly sums
in new toggery and the indications
are that all the villagers will have
a plentiful supply of store clothes
by the time the “big man from
Washington” makes his appearance.
One native brought in more than
$1,000 worth of furs this week and
he has invested in a complete new
outfit of wearing appearel in order
that he look presentable when the
President arrives.
Senators, congressmen and other
Washington officials who have trav
eled through the Interior have re
ceived only passing notice from the
natives, but it will be different when
the chief executive of the nation
comes to Alaska.
WHEN NEW BRIDGE IS IN
HEALY MINE TO RESUME
—
Manager R. S. Donaldson, of the
i Healy River Coal Corporation, in
I forms The News that the branch
| line which connects the mine at
i Suntrana with the main line of the
Alaska Railroad, was not so serious
ly damaged by the recent high wat
er as was at first estimated. The
| chief loss was the destruction of
; the big bridge which spanned the
Nenana river near Healy. In addition
to that, two small bridges were
washed out, but the damage sus
tained by the grade as very alight, i
Mr. Donaldson estimating that the
necessary repair* can be made in a
couple of day*.
Being unable to ship coal over
the branch line, the mine necessarily
has suspended operations, and all
the coal miner* are no »t work in
the Canyon district helpng to repair
the damage to the main line.
Mr. Donaldson does not know how
soon hie company will be able to
resume operations, but estimates
that it will not take the railroad,
forces long to restore the branch
line to usefulness after they get
started on the work, which probably
will be taken in hand after the
main line repairs have been com-1
pleted.
The high water threatened to dol
a lot of damage at the mine by cut-'
ting into the bank above the bunk
ers. Timely use of sacks filled with !
gravel, however, kept the water out
Mr. Donaldson says he is com
ing to Nenana as soon as he can get
across the river.
Round two of “The Leather Push
ers” tonight and Monday at the Col
iseum. Show starts at 7:00 sharp.
