MEN ARE NEEDED
PLACES FOR 200
According to information receiv
ed from officials of the Alaskan En
gineering commission, there is ur
gent need at present for at least
: 200 men in the various camps along
1 the Government railroad. The de
mand for labor has been growing
steadily since the season opened and
everyone who has taken the trouble
to apply for work has been able to
get it without difficulty. In fact,
^foremen and the heads of several
! departments have been scouring the
[district for additional help during
the past couple of weeks, and with J
only partial success.
Foreman Lee, who is in charge j
of the steam-shovel operations at j
Camp' 4152, and who lost practically!
his entire gang last week, following
the announcement that there would j
be no more Sunday work, is now j
in Fairbanks trying to get the men
to go back with him. and he reports]
that he will return to camp tomor
row with a number of those who
quit—a sufficient number, it is be
lieved, to resume work on a limited
scale.
Fairbanks also has been called '
upon to supply office help and time-1
keepers, but the chief demand is for
common labor, of which there ap
pears to be an acute shortage.

AID PASSENGERS
A substantial footbridge, swung
on two cables, is to be installed
immediately at Nenana crossing to
enable passengers to cross the river
without exposing their lives to risk
in dangerous ferry-boats. This an
nouncement was made today by
Roadmaster W. L. Packer, who made
a special trip to the river to size
up conditions, following the ferry
accident of last Wednesday, which
resulted in the ducking of a number
of passengers and the loss of con
siderable baggage.
The Brown hoist was sent out
the line to assist in the work of
placing the cables, and within a few
days it will be possible for pass
engers to walk across the aerial
bridge in perfect safety. The bridge
will be high above the water and
cannot be carried out by drift or
freshet.
The plan is to string two cables
across the turbulent stream, to be
used as support for a plank walk,
which will be between four and five
feet in width and about 400 feet in
length. The planks will be fastened
securely to the cables so that they
cannot slip, and there will be a sub
stantial handrail to keep people
from falling off.
It had been the plan of the com
mission to use a ferry until such
time as an aerial tram could be
installed, but high water in the Ne
nana. which has risen almost to
flood stage during the past several
days, necessitated a safer means of
crossing, and Mr. Packer decided
upon the cable suspension bridge as
the only feasible solution of the
problem.

RUBY TAKES ACTION il
TO AVOID EPIDEMIC
Deputy Marshal Hagan has re- j
ceived a telegram from the Ruby
board of health announcing the es
tablishment of a quarantine against j
all voyagers on the Yukon river,
the order being directed chiefly
against the landing at that place of
the passengers and crews of steam
ers and the occupants of small i
boats. I
It was also stated in the wire, c
however, that the quarantine would 1
be lifted just as soon as the re- U

Iditarod did not take the precau
ion to establish a quarantine, ac
cording to information received last

lave been keeping close watch on

n that direction at any time such

OBSERVING HOLIDAY
Holiday hours are being observed
it the telegraph office and the post
iffice today in recognition of Mem

rnt the country. But there was no
iuspension of business in any de

ng commission and the business of
he town is being carried on as
lsual.
A number of Nenanaites visited
he cemetery yesterday for the pur
>ose of decorating the graves of
sTenana dead, but there were no
;ervices, it having been decided to
lefer the public ceremony until the
second Sunday in June, by which
ime, it is believed, the health of the
