The light draft steamer Reliance,
of the American-Yukon Navigation
company's fleet, sailed from Nenana
for the upper Ko.vukuk early Sunday
morning, with several passengers for
Betties and a number for other
points on the Yukon river. The
boat will pick up a cargo at Tanmia
foi the Northern Commercial com
pany’s stores in the Koyukuk coun
try and for others in that district.
Ihe supplies will be the first to
reach Betties since last summer
The passengers boarding the beat
at Fairbanks were: Mrs. Emma Hag
gren, for Dikeman: Mrs. T. 3.
Wright and E. C. Sharrard. for Bet
ties. Those taking passage at Ne
nana were: Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Flow
er, for Betties; A. T. Rowe, for Hot
Springs; Dave Dunbar, W. B. Hed
rick, and Jim McHugh, for Tanana.
C. H. Hines and Milo Saulich

The members of the bridge crew
who were sent out to the Nenana
crossing with a piledriver outfit sev
eral days ago to reconstruct the 1
railroad bridge which was recently i
washed out by the swift waters of
a Nenana river freshet, returned to ;
town last night and will be assigned
to other work. The bridge work
has been abandoned for the present, j
Questioned regarding the plans of
the Commission relative to the
bridge, Superintendent Packer in
formed a representative of The
News last night that Engineer
Browne had altered the plan out
lined in the columns of The News
a short time ago, the continued
high water in the Nenana render
ing the reconstruction somewhat of,
a hazard—more of a hazard than
seems warranted at this time.
Later in the season, Mr. Packer
says, the work will be taken in hand
and through traffic to the end of
steel south of Nenana re-established.
In the meantime, should such action
become necessary to move supplies
to the Lignite country, the Com
mission will establish a ferry at the
crossing and operate 'that until a
new bridge has been constructed.

SCHOOL BOARD HONORS
RETIRING PRESIDENT
_
Resolutions commending Mrs. M.
J. Sweeney for the efficient man
ner in which she has conducted her
duties as president of the school j
board and as a member of the I
health board, were ordered prepared
at the meeting of the new school
board last week, and will be spread j
upon the minutes at a future meet
ing.
Mrs. Sweeney was a member of
the first school board elected in Ne-,
iana, and during the past two years •
nas served as president of the board,
rhe holding of that office made her j
also a member of the district health
>oard, adding considerably to her
luties as a public servant. The two
>ffices required very much of her
time, which was given unstintingly !
and gratuitously, with a devotion
:o the public interest such as to
svoke the admiration and gratitude
>f the entire community.
Mrs. Sweeney was elected in 1917
'or two years, and declined to be
ome a candidate last spring for a
econd term. At the last meeting of
he board she surrendered her of-1
^ i
ice to her successor and retired;
Tom the board.

There is reason to believe that;
the supply of coal now on hand at,
|
the Commission power plant will be- j
come exhausted before train com-;
munication is re-established between \ ■
town and the Bums coal mine, be- j
yond the Nenana river crossing. I
There is enough of the fuel still on !
hand to keep the big boilers going j
for several weeks, but it is feared j
that it will be all consumed before ■
a fresh supply can be received from
the mine, owing to the loss of the
bridge at 43-mile. When the present I
supply is exhausted, it probably will j
be necessary to bum wood until
trains can again cross the river.
i
The Commission used about six j
hundred tons of coal last month and J
there is still on hand about seven j
hundred tons, which should carry j
over into August. There is also a j
considerable quantity of wood or, !
hand, sufficient, it is estimated, to
tide the plant over until late in the
season.
The inability of the Burns mine
to ship coal to town, besides threat
ening to force the Commission boil
ers to go back to the use of wood,
also is causing considerable incon- j
venienee to private establishments'
in town, two of which have coal
burning water heaters which cannot
be used readily as wood burners.
