NEW BRIDGE IS ACCEPTED
LAST OF WORKERS LEAVING
The Tanana river steel bridge,
which was erected under contract
by the American Bridge Company:
for the Alaska Railroad, was offi
cially accepted today by Bridge :
Engineer Chapin, acting for the Al- j
aska Engineering Commission, and
the last of the bridge workers will
leave for the Outside tonight, head
ed by Foreman H. M. Braford
The great span, which towers ab
ove the Tanana river at sufficient
height to permit steamers to pass
j beneath it, is 700 feet in length1
| from pier to pier, and contains 2,
381 tons of steel. The bottom of,
the span is approximately 50 feet!
above low water level, the truss is
i 96 feet deep and the span 30 feet
; wide.
Work of erection was started by
1 the bridge company, under the su
' pervision of Resident Engineer E.
G. Amesbury. on October 7 and the
structure was completed on Febru
ary 22. with the loss of only five
days on account of unfavorable wea
ther during the netire period of'
erection. This is considered a re
markable achievement for supposed
ly frigid Alaska, in view of the fact
that similiar work in the States is
frequently delayed by cold weather.
On one job in the Dakotas recently
the American Bridge Company lost j
eighteen days in a single month.
The work of erecting the Tanana
river bridge was greatly facilitated
by hearty cooperation between the
bridge workers and the Alaskan
Engineering Commission, local of
ficials of the railroad organization j
and particularly Roaamaster C. G.
Jones, doing everything possible to
make the work go smoothly. The1
' preliminary work, such as building i
| the concrete piers and the approaeh
| es was done by the Alaskan Engin- j
eering Commission under the super
vision of Captain Jones.
The bridge workers leaving for j
the Outside tonight include: Fore
man H. M. Braford, H. B. Van
Hook, Knut Rosenhoff. A. X. Collins,
S. B. Oglesby, George Wegmiller.
and Clinton Carr. A. T. Martin will
go as far as the coast, accompanied
by Mrs. Martin and little son
Pete Mortensen, former Fairbanks
; and Nenana greenhouse man. is
i now connected with a florist shop
• in San Francisco, being located on
i Bush street.
J Bj Blick, former manager of
the Mt. McKinley Gold Placers, Inc.,
was in Nevada recently according to
mail advices received in Nenana.
MOCCASIN CASE DECIDED
IN FAVOR OF PLAINTIFF
The Xenana moccasin case, which
was taken into court by W. S.
Thompson on appeal from the de
cision of the Xenana school board,
was decided in favor of the plain
tiff by District Judge Cecil H. Clegg
at the conclusion of a hearing held
at Fairbanks last night. The judge, j
in making his decision, said, in ef
fect that inasmuch as it is the
I
custom of the north to wear moc- j
casins he did not feel that he could
uphdld the action of the Xenana
school board in prohibiting their |
use by children attending chool, so!
long as the footwear is clean and!
sanitary.
The case attracted considerable
attention in Fairbanks and when
the hearing started last night the
J court room was crowded to capacity ;
i it being necessary to bring in ex
tra chairs to accomodate the spec
tators. Mrs. Thompon was ably j
represented by Attorney T. A. Mar
quam. and the school board by At
torney Harry Pratt. Superintendent
A. B. Phillips, who was named in
the action as one of the defendants
was present at the hearing and'
Treasurer Fred Major was there as
representative of the board. Mrs.
A. B. Phillips was there also, in
the capacity of witness for the de
fense.
All of those connected with the
case returned to Xenana today and
the school, which has been closed
since last Wednesday, will reopen
tomorrow.

TO ALL GOOD CITIZENS OF NENANA
We wish to address a few kind words expressing our gra
titude and appreciation for the support you have given us
during the past five years, and assure you that it is with sin
cere regret that we are forced to move our stock from town.
Our margins of profit have been too close during the
past few years to cover the expense of keeping up stock to
the mark expected of us, and the kikes and bean peddlers have
so cut in on our lines that we find that there are not enough
discriminating customers to justify an exclusive clothing store
in Nenana just now. '
We hope to be favored with your continued patronage
through the Fairbanks store. All orders will be carefully taken
care of by the writer and goods delivered free of charge
in your city, besides this we expect to visit Nenana twice each
month to care for'all customers who may favor us with their
business.
In closing we want everyone to know that we have noth
ing but sincere regard and good wishes for the whole town, and
its inhabitants. E?ven though we may reside elsewhere, for a
time our support and the little influence we may have will al
ways be exerted in your behalf.
Faithfully yours,
FAIRBANKS CLOTHING CO.
