The work of grading the right of
i way between X'enana and Fairbanks
has been considerably hampered by
the wet weather of the past week,
several of the contractors in Gold
stream valley having been com
pelled to suspend operations tem
poranly.
j The right of way, north of Xe
. nana, traverses a section of swamp
.land which renders grading work
difficult under the most favorable
jweather conditions. Copious rains
j have transformed portions of this
. swamp into lakes and otherwise in
i terfered with the work to such an
extent that some of the contractors
will be compelled to wait until the
return of warm weather,
i Among the contractors whose
work has been halted is Albert
Lundborg, who is about half fin
ished with his work. He has used
all the dry filling in his territory'
and must now wait for the excess
water to disappear before resuming
I operations.
Knut Koland also reports that
; his work is being held up con
._! siderably by rain water along the
(right of way, and others in the
x same neighborhood are greatly
rJ- handicapped, with borrow pits filled
0 and the ground thoroughly satu
h
d
h
rated.
River* Are Up
Both the Tanana and Xenana
rivers are running bank full as
■ a result of the wet weather, the
Tanana having riseti over five feet
._ | during the past two days.
Reports from Fairbanks state
that Chena slough is also rising
j rapidly, but has not yet reached
a stage as seriously to threaten any
portion of the town with inun
dation.
Seepage water from the river*
has found its way into one or two
cellars in Xenana, and wells gerj
j erally have been disturbed by the
rise, necessitating caution in the
,c use of water. A warning has been
^ issued by Health Officer More, of
^ i the government hospital, directing
the boiling of all water before
, use for domestic purposes.

VILLA’S ULUS
READY TO ATTACK
EL PASO. June 14.—The rebel
forces under the command of Gen-1
erals Villa and Angeles, which re
cently defeated the federal troops
in the Chihuahua district, and which
are now planning an attack on
Juarez, have reached the border !
and are now encamped just outside I
the city.
The federal forces holding Juarez
are fully prepared to meet the
enemy, but it is be’lieved no at- !
tempt will be mad2 to drive them
from the neighborhood until he be
gins his attack, which is expected
hourly.
DANCE TONIGHT ;
AT UNION HALL
The dance which will be held to
night at the Union hall, at the
usual time, under the auspices of
the Xenana Dancing academy,
marks the closing of the academy's1
activities for the season, and there
is every indication that the affair,
will be W’ell attended.
By the institution of this acade
my, Mrs. Belle Campbell has rend
ered a signal service to the com
munity, and made it possible for;
many Xenanaites to spend many a;
pleasant hour during an otherwise;
dull season. The instructions she
imparted in dancing to those who
did not know how to dance, have
developed many a good dancer, and
it is but fitting that those who
are indebted to her for a proficency
in the terpsichorean art should
make a special effort to rally to
the support of the academy and be.
present at this last dance.
Special efforts have been made
:o provide _the best music available
in town for the dance tonight, such
is is calculated to please the most
fastidious.
