RAILROAD CAMP
HAS BEEN CLOSED
FOR TIME BEK
Camp on Fairbanki Nenana Line
la Closed Account of Flood
and Iron Shortage.
The piledriver camp on the Fair
! banks-Xer.ana line, known as camp
' 102, which had been moved from
! time to time until they had pro
gressed to within a few miles of
the Ohio roadhouse, has been closed
temporarily.
■ This action was made necessary
i by reason of the fact that the coun
try through which part of the road
runs is in a very wet condition, due
. to the lateness of the season ar.d not
much good can be done by the con
tinuation of the work in this section.
A large quantity of raw material
consisting of piles, ties, stringers,
caps and bridge timbers are ready
for use in the building of the many
trestles required on this line; but
there is a shrotage of the necessary
round iron for the making of drift
bolts, and this has also been a con
tributing factor in the decision ar
rived at for the temporary closing
of the camp.
Albert Lundborg. who had a con
tract for a large supply of tht
bridge and trestle material referre;
to. has also been called in. as then
is an ample supply of this class o:
material on hand for the continu
ance of work on the Fairbanks
Nenar.a line when the neeessar;
iron for the manufacture of drif
bolts is made available.
All of the piledriver men ar.<
I laborers of camp 102 have gone inti
Fairbanks to be raid off. The tele
phone has been moved from th
camp car to the store at Standar
creek.
It is expected that many of th
men of camp 102 will come to Xe

—
Scareley a mile to the south of
the town of Xenana a carefully
cleared and ploughed tract of land. ,
approximately four acres in extent,
bears eloquent testimony to the fore
thought and industry displayed by 1
William Rodlgkeit. of the Tavern
cafe and Walter Preston.
These two men conceived the idea
of Hooverizing on a large scale and
with that object in view secured the
j necessary permission and the land
and immediately started in to im
prove and prepare it for the large
crops it is hoped will reward their
efforts.
The tract of land secured is ten
acres in extent, of which, only four
acres have been prepared for the
crops that will be raised this season.'
Actual operations were started on
, the land about a week ago. Seven
men and a team with the necessary
farming implements, being employed
The proprietors of the ranch expect
to have the ground ready for plant
ing in a few days.
A ranch house is planned and ar
rangements are now under way
j with a view to getting the necessary
building material assembled on the
' ground.
The principal crop to be raised
will be potatoes, while about one
acre or so will be used for the other
• varieties of vegetables. More ground
will be cleared for planting next
' season and improvements will be
: made from time to time until the
; ranch is as ideally perfect as pos
! sible.
i The land is very pleasantly situ
- ated with the Xenana for its west
1 ern boundary ami the Government
i railroad the eastern one. the soil is
said to be just right and well away
? above the flood level. The recent
- floods did not come within several
feet of the level of the land, it ;s
claimed.
Close to the shore of the Xenana
river on the extreme southern bound
ary of the ranch, a "building will be
put up to house the cows, pigs and
‘ possibly chickens, who will later in
sibly chickens, who will later on in
habit the ranch, lend variety to the
duties of the rancher in charge, and
complete the Hooverizing scheme of
the proprietors.
If the ambitious clans of the en
, terprising proprietors are realized,
Xenana will soon have a ranch such
as any town may well be proud of.
Mr. Rodigkeit says that the ranch
house, when built, will be large
enough and available for picnic
parties and he also hints of a pos
sible house warming party to be
pulled ofF lit due season.
The Xenana Xews. which is in
hearty sympathy with the patriotic
venture, wishes the proprietors a
large measure of success.
Proposals for clearing right of
way will be received at office of
the Alaskan Engineering comimssion
until 3 p. m.. Wednesday, June 19.
Right of way to be 100 fet wide.
All stumps ten feet each side of
center line to be cut close to ground
surface, remainder of right of way.
