struction work on the Nenana-Fair
banks line, on the Goldstream sec
tion, will be made immediately; the

contracts on sections of the line
have already1 made arrangements
to set up their camps, and it is
expected that in a day or two actual
grading operations will begin.
AH the awards made so far are
in the Goldstream section of the
Fairbanks right of way. Assistant
Engineer Ike P. Taylor stated that
there would be a few more con

that the bulk of the grading work

this will be early in the spring.
The grading contracts which have
been awarded to Herman Magnuson

Ed Peterson & Co., together with
one or two more which have al
ready been arranged for, consist of
cuts and fills, and Mr. Taylor stated
that the nature of the grading work
required on these contracts will per
mit of a commencement being made

the grading work on the Fairbanks

diately are as follows: Herman

tance of 1200 feet. Ed Peterson &
Co., from station No. ' ^§799 to

VALENTINE PARIY
OME

A most enjoyable and unique
Valentine party, given by Mesdan:
Frederick D. Browne and J. J.!
Kestly took place at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Browne, o i the'
Commission reserve, on Saturdayi
night. The main feature of the
party was much in the nature of
a regular race track meet, with all
its attendant excitement, and as the
legend on the cards announced, it
was “An Evening at Tia Juana Race'
Track.”
The main hall of the Browne
home was the scene of the exciting
races, the center of the hall form-1
ing the track, and the sides being
used as a grandstand, the two j
rooms flanking the main hall, which |
were known as the “Goldfield Club” j
and the “Last Chance”, being de- j
j voted to the business pertaining to j
the races in progress and where,
during the course of the night, j
much “money” was made and lost, j
j The guests of Mesdames Browne \
and Kestly were Mesdames Bagley,!

The guests began to arrive shortly
after eight o’clock, and as soon as
they had divested themselves of!
their overcoats, each of the gentle-i
men of the party was handed a roll'
of phony money amounting to i
$1000 and a list of the horses and!
jockeys that were to enter the
races. The list is as folows:
Cupid’s Quiver—Mrs. Gilcher.
Orange Blossom-—Mrs. Tyler.
Glad Heart—Mrs. Bowen.
Honey Moon—Miss McRae.
Cupid’s Dart—Mrs. O’Keefe.
Great Heart—Mrs. Burns

Three of the jockeys failed to (
show up and were accordingly j *
scratched. All of the jockeys wore | ^
a distinctive color combination in j ^
the shape of a large bow in the i1
hair and also showed their colors j
in the beautiful gowns they wore. *
Dr. R. J. Diven acted as judge
and starter; F. D. Brtfwne was time
keeper and clerk of the course; G.
L. (Cap) Hall took in the money
and registered the bets, while J. J.
Kestly made out the betting tickets, j
Strips of narrow white ribbon j
stretched taut from the lower to the
upper end of the hall, formed the •
track; a silght slit, sufficiently'
large for the insertion of a pair
of scissors was made in the lower!'
end of the ribbon and the race !
consisted in the contestants cutting
through the ribbon to the end.
Obstructions in the way of seams
and stitches were distributed along
the track, and great care was needed
for cutting squarely through. A
slight deflection of the scissors and
the contestant was seriously handi- •
capped by the delay in cutting in
again, and many a heat was lost
thereby. As only three hones could

■-un at a time, the race was run in
leats, the elimination contest re
;ulting in Golden Heart, Marigold,
3ear Heart, Sweetheart, Honey
Moon, Heart O’ Mine, Hearts Ease, j
ind Wedding Morn being left for
he semi finals. These proved to be,
ntensely exciting and the betting
vas very heavy on the favorites,
rhc end of the semi-finals left j
3weetheart, time .47, Heart Ease,
1-2; and Dear Heart, 1.5 for the su
i
ireme effort. The betting at this.
itage of the game was fast and i
'urious, the sky being the limit.;
Sveryone went the limit, and the!
•ace was watched with bated breath.!
rhe contest was close, the horses
>eing neck and neck until the mid
lie of the course, when Heart’s
Sase went off the track, the slight
lelay being fatal to her chances
o win, and Sweetheart and Dear
deart tied, the judge announcing
lis decision amid the wild cheering
>f the backers.
After a brief rest the final was
•un again, resulting in a very close
finish, the victory being secured
by Dear Heart. The betting showed
that Sweetheart was the favorite,
and resulted in many going broke.
The judge and the timekeeper, who
had amassed quite a little fortune
in side bets during the evening’s
racing, also placed their entire wads
and went flat busted. Miss Shaffer,
(Dear Heart) was awarded the
prize, which was a beautiful Delft •>
vase (Fayence 18th century), and
Ike P. Taylor, who had the most
money at the end of the races, won
a fine tobacco jar (Wedgewood 16th
century).
Refreshments were served in
abundance by the hostesses during
the course of the evening, and a
most enjoyable Valentine party w ■
brought to a conclusion at about *
two o’clock in the morning.
