DRAGLINE WILL
The dragline excavator, which was
laid up some time ago when sur
facing operations were concentrated
beyond Xenana Crossing, is to be
put into commission again immedi
ately, taking the place of the Bucy
rus steam shovel, which broke down
this morning under the heavy strain
of bucking frost conditions.
The pian is to start the dragline
to work on a gravel bar near the
Bums coal mine, where there ap
pears to be an abundance of dry
materia! for surfacing, in which the
big machine can work under almost
any weather conditions. The carry
ing out of this plan will necessitate
the removal of the surfacing camp
from the Crossing to a new camp
site near the gravel pit, and the
surfacing work henceforth will be
directed from that point, both to
ward town and toward the end of
i steel. Camp will be moved tomor
row.
Weather conditions along the line,
both north and south of Xenana, are
, somewhat more severe than in town,
reports from the Mills camp, south
of the Bums mine, and from Camp
440, on the north side of the river,
stating that 10° below weather has
been recorded at each of those
places.
The cold weather may interfere
to some extent with the grading
operations beyond the end of steel,
but with the dragline operating in
dry gravel it will be possible to
supply the contractors with suffi
cient material to enable them to
complete their work. This can be
done without interfering with the
surfacing work.
CARL WHITE READY
TO MATE TRIP
If there is any chance to make
another voyage down stream from
Fairbanks without exposing his
steamer to serious risk. Car! White
will bring another load of freight
to Xenana before the close of navi
gation. White reached the upper
town about midnight on Saturday
and is now waiting there for the
river to clear, before starting back
on a special trip.
Reports from Fairbanks state that
considerable ice is moving down the
slough today, but the weather mod
erated during the day and there are
; those who believe navigation be
tween the two towns can be resumed
; shortly without danger.

HUN SAYS
CARPENTERS ARE
ASKING ADVANCE
_
Like most of the other workers
along the Pacific coast, the carpen
ters of Seattle and other Puget
sound cities are having their trou
bles keeping wages abreast of the
rising cost of living. C. M. Morten
sen, former boss carpenter in the
employ of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, in a letter addressed
to W. L. Packer, says that the car
penters in Everett are now getting
§S a day. a raise having been grant
ed on the first of September. At
the time the letter was written.
September 15, the carpenters of
Seattle were striking for 510 a day.
and had then been out about ten
days.
Mortenson considered it doubtful ;
if the strike would be won. “To j
my way of thinking,” he wrote,
"they will compromise on about
59.”
"There is quite a real estate
boom in Seattle,” the letter con
tinuess, “property changing hands
every day. and some, I believe, more
than once a day.
“I met some of the boys from
Nenana yesterday, over in Seattle.
They all had white collars on. but
some of them may have been rather
shy in their pockets.”
Referring to a program of Xe
nana's Fourth of July celebration,
which Mr. Packer had sent to Mor
tensen, the former Nenanaite says
they had a celebration in Everett
also, “but, taking into considera
tion the number of people taking
part, I believe you had a better
lined up program.”
Mortensen wanted to be remem
bered to “all the boys” in Nenana.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred’k D. Browne,
who went to Fairbanks on Saturday
by way of the N’enana-Fairbanks
line, expect to start home on Wed
nesday.
