: if SIOPPED BV
i SOFTENED TRAIL
Thirty Sacks of Fuel Brought to
Town For Test In Yard
Locomotive.
Owing to the very unsatisfaetry
condition of the trail, the teams em
ployed by the Alaskan Engineering
commission have been able to haul
only about six tons of coal from the
bunker at Residency 4 (43-mile) to
the new station at 20-mile, for the
future use of the locomotives work
ing in that section of the road. To
facilitate hauling, the coal was sack
ed at the bunker.
Though nothing definite is known,
at present, regarding this fuel the
probabilities are that no mure of it
will be hauled for some time to
come, at least not until the trail is
in fit condition for wheeled traffic.
^ ! Of the quantity hauled to the sta
^ I tion at 20-mile, thirty sacks were
shipped to town and a portion of
this will soon be used on locomotive
No. 5, by way of an experiment.
• Lignite coal was used entirely in
' firing the boiler of Piledriver No. 2,
‘ I engaged in driving piles for the big
’ i bridge at Nenana Crossing, and is
' | said to have given very satisfactory
• results, it was much easier to handle
• and a good steam pressure was al
ways maintained without any diffi
culty, although the value of the coal
from an economic point of view has
not been definitely established.
It is predicted that the use of the
: new fuel on the locomotives will give
! far more satisfactory results than
I at present obtainable, and the result
I of the experiment with the “Five
i spot” will be looked forward to with
interest.
The use of the coal in the pile
driver boiler is not regarded as a
fair test, for the reason that the fuel
accumulated much sand and mois
I ture during the time that it remained
] in the bunkers, where it was ex
! posed to the full sweep of the wind,
j The result was that clinkers formed
] on the grates occasionally and the
: residue was above normal. Notwith
| standing this handicap, however, the
! coal burned freely and with more
: than sufficient energy to maintain
; a high steam pressure under all con
I ditions.

SOUTH DF NENANA
Heavy Windstorm Is Reported By
Railroad Workers Along Right
of Way.
A stiff gale of wind is reported
to have been blowing in the section
of the country adjacent to the camp
at 35-mile all day yesterday; and up
to a late hour last night, showed
no signs of abatement. As a rule,
windstorms are very frequent in
this region, fine calm days being the
exception. Ordinarily, these very
frequent storms have had the effect
of drifting the trails to camp 9 and
43-mile badly and thereby inter
fering to a very serious extent, with
the work of the transportation de
partment of the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission; but, owing to the
present damp and heavy condition of
the snow still remaining, no such
bad effects on the trail is looked
for.
I There is very little freight mov
ing to and from the remote camps
of the Commission now. One team
with a light load was reported to
be on the road to Residency 4 (43
mile) yesterday.
With eggs falling in price daily
it is a sorry sort of a hen that will
not during the next few weeks repay

ness in discouraging her slaughter
to supply the table on Meatless days. ^

Men Engaged In Hauling Supplies
to New Camps Have Work
Nearly Finished.
The hauling of the supplies des
tined for the cache near Dunbar’s
roadhouse, and the store at Standard
creek is being continued as vigor
ously as trail conditions will permit
and it is expected that the entire
allotments for both places will be
completed within the next few days.
The last load for the Standard creek
store left this morning as well as
several loads for the cache near
Dunbar’s.
WHAT YOUR BOND PURCHASE
WILL ACCOMPLISH
The following figures give one a
definite idea of what his or her loan
to the Government by the purchase
of Liberty Bonds will accomplish
when used by the war department:
One $50 bond will buy trench
knives for a rifle company, or 23
hand grenades, or 14 rifle grenades,
or 37 cases of surgical instruments
for enlisted men’s belts, or 10 cases
of surgical instruments for officers’
belts.
A $100 bond will clothe a soldier,
or feed a soldier for eight months,
or purchase 5 rifles or 30 rifle
grenades, or 43 hand grenades, or
25 pounds of ether, or 145 hot-water
bags, or 2,000 surgical needles.
A $100 and a $50 bond will clothe
and equip an Infantry soldier for
service overseas, or feed a soldier
for a year.
Two $100 bonds will purchase a
hs. > or mule for cavalry, artillery,
or other service.
Three $100 bonds will clothe a
soldier and feed him for one year
in France, or buy a motorcycle for
a machine gun company.
Four $100 bonds will buy an X
ray outfit.
One $500 bond will supply bi
cycles for the headquarters company
of an infantry regiment.
The boy who helps to tend a gar
den, grow a pig or raise poultry is
shooting at the Germans with as big
a gun as his older brother who goes
to France.
