WORK ON BRIDGE
ACROSS GLACIER
REAOnONIGHT
Two Bents of the Bridge Across
Glacier Creek Remaining For
Completion Today.
There were only two bents of pil
ing remaining to be driven this
morning to complete the bridge
across Glacier creek on the D line,
and it is expected that the bridge
will be completed and ready for the
rails some time this afternoon, and
that the work trains will be able
to go across tomorrow.
After Glacier creek has been
crossed, a stretch of partly com
pleted grade, extending from Sta
tion 18800 to 18760, is encountered,
which will nave to be completed on
force account and raised to the
proper grade level.
Beyond this point a considerable
stretch of finished grade will be
met with and it is expected that the
work will then move along very !
rapidly.
Special steel slings with a roller!
attachment are now being made at
the Commission machine shop for
use in tracklaying operations. These
slings are readily attachable to the
pockets on the sides of the flat cars
and will greatly facilitate the hand
ling of rails in tracklaying opera
tions.
Cars carrying the steel will be
provided with the new attachments
just as soon as the completed grade
beyond Station 18764 has been
reached, where the steel gang will
have ample room to handle the steel
from the cars.
Six slings are hung from the
pockets on each side of the steel
car and the steel is lowered to these
slings as required. They are then
slid along the rollers with which
each sling is provided, and laid ahead
by the men of the steel gang, who
also spike them down sufficently to
allow of the train to move on. The
gang following the steel men lay
down additional ties and complete!
the work of bolting and spiking the ■
rails.
It is expected that in the course I
: a days the completed grade i
beyond Station 18764 will be reach-!
iet^> when the new tracklaying de-!
| vices will be used for the extension !
of the road.

VOYAGE ENJOYED
BY LOCAL BOYS I
DOWNTHE RIVER
On the mail arriving on the steam
er Reliance, the following letter was
received by the Nenana News from
one of the boys of the draft, now
with Company B, 14 Infantry.
The news will be of interest to
a great many Nenanaites and will
probably be the last letter from an
Alaskan camp, as the boys are now
enroute to a Pacific Port, and their
movements from now on will be
shrouded in mystery until they are
finally located at some one of the
great training camps in the States.
St. Michael Aug. 24, 1918
Nenana News:
Just a few lines to let you know
how we are getting along. The
good ship General Davis arrived in
St. Michael the day before yester
day and before we had i een docked
fifteen minutes they were ail up
town spending their hard-earned
black-jack money for swagger sticks,
billikens and ivory cigarette holders.
Everybody's doing it, even Ole Pear
son, the “Adamant Swede” is in the
“smoke ring” with a nifty cigar
holder which the natives claim was
carved by “Dirty Shirt” Annie in
1883, just prior to the Russian in
vasion. Ole is quite proud of his
possession. All the other boys have
similar souvenirs, gathered from all
along the line.
Our trip down the river was a
pleasure voyage from start to finish.
Our only piece of hard luck was
in the loss of our mess sergeant
Tommy Corcoran, who fell over
board in the dark, about two hours
after we left Gibbon.
At Ruby the whole town turned
out and gave us a royal welcome.
Our nine-piece orchestra got busy
and we had a big dance on the
barge. The ladies donated about
one hundred big cakes of every
different kind, and we had cake
till we couldn’t see any more. The
boys certainly will never forget
Ruby and the Ruby ladies.
At Marshal City we were pre
sented with another baby bear to
add to the malamute which Ruby
gave us. We now have two bears
and. a malamute for mascot.
We hit Andreafsky at midnight
and routed out the whole fi^h outfit
in order to have a dance. Andre
afsky could only muster thr°e women
of its four, as one married the
superintendent of the cannery at
9 o’clock that evening. That was i
no excuse for the gang, so we
routed the newlyweds out of bed and
chased them to the dance. When;
we asked the groom for a speech j
he got up on the table and said
“I think it’s mighty mean of you1
boys to get us out of bed.” How- J
ever, he was a good scout and joined
in the fun. We took the bride right
away from him.
All we did on the way down river
was to watch the scenery and ob
serve the following schedule:
Morning—Eat breakfast, play
black jack and shoot craps. •
Afternoon—Eat dinner, play black
jack and shoot craps.
Might—Eat supper, black jack,
poker and sleep (maybe).
It has been a dry trip all the
way, insofar as liquid refreshments
are concerned- In fact, the only
bars we have run across so far
are those famous bars in the Yukon.
Whenever we pass a bar, the boys
all line up, and with bared heads,
put their feet on the ship’s rail, in
memoriam for the “days that ‘usta’
was. We’re sure the grape juice
kids.
Grady Summerlin is our mess
sergeant now and some of the boys
have the gout already.
The native belles here are sure
“winners.” ' Ralph Tennant and I
jumped a drill to keep a date with
two at our famous cabaret here,
and both of us got a K. P. hung
on our neck and were told to re
. main aboard the ship until we got
! permission to leave. War is war—
; but ‘Oh, you chicker ’

We will be leaving here in a
day or two and all the boys are
buying seasick tablets “safety first.”
Will write again from “A Pacific
port.’
Here’s a toast we drank to the
kaiser:
Here’s to the kaiser, the limburger
cheese;
May the swell on his head go
down to his knees.
May he break his damn neck on
the Hindenburg line,
And go to hell croaking: 'The
Watch on the Rhine
Best regards to all our Nenana
friends.
SINN FEINERS REFUSE
TO PAY PENALTY TAX
DUBLIN.—The Sinn Feiners in
Ireland are most actively opposed
to the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
and the conflict has sometimes led
to serious incidents. At the Donegal
Assizes the judge granted £100 com
pensation for the malicious burning
of the Lettermore A. O. H. hall.
The judge ordered the compensa
tion to be levied off a district in
which the Sinn Fein residents pre
dominated, and the Sinn Fein rate
payers have now notified the county
council that they will not pay the
rate.
ARGENTINA STARTS
STEAMSHIP SERVICE
WASHINGTON.—The Argentina
government has established a line
of steamers to operate from Buenos
Aires to Punta Arenas, on the Strait
of Magellan, stopping at numerous
ports on the coast. The fleet at the
beginning of operations consisted of
six steamships.
