SIMSON’S
WATERFRONT WILL
BE MADE SECURE
Arrangements are now under way]
for taking up the work of driving!
the piling as a protection against
bank erosion along the Nenana water
front, and it is expected that a com- •
mencement will be made with this
work in a few days.
According to the present plans of i
the Alaskan Engineering commission
a row of piling to replace those
taken out by the ice during the j
breakup this spring will be driven
along the waterfront, from the dock
to a point well above the steam
laundry.a little farther up stream
j than reached by the piles driven
1 when railroad operations were com
menced at Nenana.
The vacant space between the row
: of piling and the river bank will
be filled in with brush and riprap.
This latter will be made up of a
: large quanty of saplings laid length
; wise with a slight inclination down
| stream, with their butt ends pro
. truding beyond the piling so that
the entire mass will act as a cushion
and buttress against the enormous
pressure exerted by the ice during
the breakup. A few feet of the
space above the riprapping and to
possibly the level of the street grade
will be filled in with gravel later on.
Frederick D. Browne, engineer in
charge, stated that he intended tak
| ing this work in hand some time
J ago. but was handicapped and pre
! vented from carrying out his plans
j owing to a shortage of labor and
j the necessary equipment with which
to do the work. %ome time ago
piledriver No. 1, which had been
used in the construction of the big
bridge across the Nenana river at
the crossing at 43-mile, was ordered
brought to town for this purpose,
j but in making the crossing at Lost
Slough, the big hammer was lost
and all efforts to recover it from
the quicksands that form the bed of
the slough proved unavailing and the
salvage operations had to be aband
oned.
| Piledriver equipment ordered early
in the spring for construction work :
on this division has not been received j
yet, and according to advices re- |
ceived it would appear that the en
gines and cables are on the way, but
the hammers, which are the most
essential parts of the piledriver,
have apparently not been shipped.
As a further handicap to the tak-'
ing in hand of this work earlier in j
the season, it was found that to j
make up a piledriver crew, men ex-)
perienced in this business would
have to be taken away from more;
important branches of the railroad
construction work, and consequently
a postponement of the bank pro- j
tection work became imperative.
Mr. Browne has issued orders for [
the immediate formation of a pile-1
driver crew and expects the neces-,
sary equipment to be brought from
the front on the train; no more
chances will be taken in ferrying
over either at Lost Slough or Clear
creek, and as soon as the men are
got ready and the equipment arrives
in town, the piles will be driven
along the waterfront and the work
continued until completed. It is ex
pected that the work will be com
pleted before the freezeup.
The need of equipment has been
more or less of a handicap to the
construction program right along.
Worn out or lost equipment cannot
be readily replaced as in the States. I
and important construction works
have been held up and delayed in
definitely, pending the receipt of
this equipment which has to be
ordered in the States.
War work takes precedence over
every other kind of work, however
important it may be; this refers par
ticularly to the factories engaged
in manufacturing machinery and ma
chine parts, and even urgent tele
graphic orders for repair parts and
equipment are considerably delayed
in consequence. The A'ct that war
work is of paramount importance
is understood and fully appreciated
by everyone needing machinery, etc.

WAGON WILL CALL
FOG OLO CLOTHES
—
j Get your clothing ready for Bel
gium relief by ten o’clock tomorrow
morning.
Efforts will be made to call at
every door for bundles of used cloth-!
ing. Mr. Frederick D. Browne is
arranging for a wagon to start at!
ten o’clock and try to reach every-1
body in town, picking up bundles;!
j and everybody is asked to place their i
bundles in a place where it can be
readily seen and picked up by the1
teamster starting at ten o’clock-1
Should anyone accidently be over-:
looked, they surely. will be glad
to bring their offering to the fire
hall by two o’clock, where the ladies j
will be on hand to sort and prepare !
for shipment, mending anything
which had been overlooked by theI
doner.
To the bachelors—Do not hesitate
to send in your old clothing because
you have not been able to mend
same. The ladies will be glad to
do it for the generous batchelors
of Nenana.
Everybody is urged to look around.
You surely have something you may
not have use for—if only one or \
two pieces. Do not overlook this.
We can not realize up here how
essential this urgent call is, what it
means to the Belgians who have
little or no clothing, how many
things will be greatly appreciated
and which means so little for us
to give.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
All those who are interested in
the study of Christian Science are
