BIG GRAVEL BED
Dragline Excavator I* Working Two
Shift* to Uncover Grave! Bed
Soon.
The crew of the dragline camp,
formerly known as Camp 22, who
have been busy throwing a tempor
ary line to go around the washout
on the Government railroad, approxi
mately one mile beyond Bailey sta
; tion, having now completed that
(work, will again resume the work
; they had been engaged in.
! These men use a large quantiy
. of gravel in ballasting and surfac
ing and in order that a practically
' unlimited supply can be got, a night
crew has been put on the dragline
excavator for the purpose of strip
ping the over-burden and exposing
the gravel bed, which lies near the
present location of the dragline
camp.
The overburden is said to be from
a foot to four feet thick in places,
beneath which a fine bed of gravel
is found. Frost is encountered at
a depth of five feet on the exposed
j gravel bed and this condition neces
sitates the moving of the dragline
excavator to another part of the
gravel bed until the sun’s action
removes the frost. It is expected
that in a few days all the gravel
i needed for surfacing and ballast
ing the railroad will be easily ob
, tained.

LADIES OF NENANA TO
ENTERTAIN DRAFTED LADS I
Immediately following the Red
Cross meeting held this afternoon,
the ladies of Nenana discussed plans
for getting up an entertainment
in honor of the boys who have been
drafted and who will leave for Fort
Gibbon on the 29th.
Full plans of the entertainment
to be given will be announced later.
All patriotic Nenanaites are in
vited to help in making the pro
posed entertainment the success it
deserves to be. Donations of vanilla,
sugar, cream, and rock salt will be
received by Mrs. Cooney. f
Word received in Fairbanks is to
the effect that bids for the building
of barracks at Fort Gibbon calls for
specifications of the lumber separate
from the actual bids for construc
tion.
