go over any building in Nenana was
shot through it for some time.

After the dinner the host made
a speech, eulogizing the American
nation and referred in very compli-;
mentary terms to the treatment ac
corded the Russian boys by the
American people at all times, which
they deeply appreciated. He urged
the boys to fight manfully for the
right and assured them that a very
cordial welcome from the American
I people awaited all of them on their
I return from the battle fields.
! The speech, which was enthusiast
ically received, was followed by an
I entertainment, which was very much
i enjoyed by all present.
Patriotic songs and recitations
j were rendered by the boys, the
: songs being accompanied on the
; Russian mandolin by Harry Bekoff.
i A graceful Russian dance was also
J given. The proceedings were brought
to a close with a patriotic song and
a recitation by Larue Carter.
A group photograph of those
present was taken shortly before
the party broke up, and later on
. another group of the Russian boys
I was taken at the Tyler studio.
Pete Olson, a former employe
of the Aaskan Engineering com
mission in the local machine shop,
is now holding down a job in a
Seattle machine shop.
If you believe in peace you will
fight to get it.
We’ll substitute corn for wheat
and victory for defeat.
BRIDGE SPANNING
GLACIER CREEK IS
NOW UNDER WAY
A Commencement Is Made This
Morning With the Driving of
Piles Across Glacier.
Piledriver No. 4, also known as!
the track driver, was sent out last >
night to the end -of the D line and
the work of driving piles for the
bridge that will carry the rails across
Glacier creek was commenced to
day.
The bridge will be 120 feet in
length and it is expected that it '
will be completed in about three
days when the rails will be laid
across it and the work of building |
the government road will be pushed
forward as rapidly as possible.
Quite a lot of the grade lying be
yond Glacier creek has already been
completed under contract and, it is
expected that the work of track
laying and surfacing will move along
i very rapidly. The gangs will also I
be clear of the marshy lands which j
will speed up the work considerably. *
Since the commencement of work i
; on the D line, approximately nine!
and one-half miles of a workablej
railroad has been completed to date. I
(leaving a distance of about twelve
and one-half miles of a practically
completed grade to be railed before
the old roadbed near the 30-mile j
roadhouse is reached.
