MUCH
FOR
IS
A Large Quantity of Conitruction
Material and Suppliei It on
Way to Nenana.
According to advices received in
. Nenana by the officials of the
Alaskan Engineering commission, a
very large quantity of railroad
: construction material and supplies
have already left Seattle for Ne
nana via St. Michael. It is also
known that to expedite delivery,
quite a large portion of the ex
pected shipments have been diverted
and will arrive in Nenana via Skag
i way and the upper Yukon river,
i The ocean service would appear
to have been disorganized to some
! extent and the shipments retarded
in consequence. In view of the
fact that the close of navigation on
the river is close at hand, it is ex
pected that there will be quite a
rush of boats with bargeloads of
this government freight arriving in
i Nenana soon, and a very busy time
: at the waterfront may be looked
| forward to from now on and until
the freezeup.
The following shipments have left
: Seattle for Nenana: On the steam
I w Valdez which sailed for St.
| Michael on August 16th, there were
: 1749 tons of freight, made up of
i 5000 rail braces, 5336 angle braces,
154 kegs of bolts, 2347 rails, 376
kegs of spikes, 2 class 201 loco
motives (50 tons each), 10 Rodger
: ballast cars, 60 trucks for flat cars.
125 pcs couplers, 2 boxes locomotive
parts and a quantity of dynamite,
caps, gasoline and oils. On the
! steamer Cordova which sailed for
| St. Michael on August 23rd there
: were 595 tons of freight, this ship
men was composed of 1523 70-pound
i rails, weighing 586 tons, and some
; construction supplies.
On the steamer Victoria, which
I sailed for the North August 24th,
825 cases of eggs were shipped.
On the steamer Latouche, which
sailed for Skagway August 24th,
there were 37,000 feet of lumber,
thirteen Lidgerwood car bodies,
j twenty narrow gauge dump cars and
; considerable other supplies and ma
j terial.
The steamr Skagway, which sailed
.for Skagway on August 26th, had
only two tons. The steamer Alaska,
which sailed for Skagway on the
same date, had 147 tons, which in
cludes 3376 angle braces, 230 kegs
of spikes, 34 kegs of bolts and a
quantity of other material.
The steamer Jefferson sailed for
the North on the evening of the
21st, but it is not known whether
she will land her Nenana freight
l a*- St. Michael or Skagway. She
had only 21 tons of freight onboard
for Nenana.
;
Four large river boats of the A.
i Y. N. Co have been awaiting this
I freight at St. Michael for some
;time and it is expected that it will
be rushed to Nenana with all pos
sible speed so that the barges may
(be unloaded in time to be put away
; winter quarters. Advice of sail
ings from St. Michael for Nenana
are expected momentarily.
Longshoremen will probably have
a continuous spell of work in the
' near future and until the many
barges due here have been un
loaded.
KNITTING CLUB
! HELD MEETING
With seventeen members present
a meeting of the Nenana Knitting
club was held at the home of Mrs
Diven at the Presbyterian manse or
Thursday afternoon. A very pleas
ant time was spent by all and con
i siderable knitting was done; dainty
refreshments being served by the
hostess during the course of the
meeting. The sum of $4.25 was
collected for the benefit of the
French Orphann fund.
] Misses Jane Anderson and Betty
Foster left on the train this morn
ing on a visit to Mrs. Herb Wilson
on the Wilson ranch near 35-mile
They expect to be away for a week
RAILROAD WORK
FROM HAPPY END
IS MOVING FAS!
—
Many Contracts Have Been Let For f
Grading Work on the Fairbanks
End of the Line.
Approximately five miles of track
has been laid from Happy station
and the end of steel is now a little
way below Bartlett's old camp. The
engineering party are camped there :
and it is also headquarters for the \
work done on the line.
Grading work is being pushed 1
forward and about one hundred con- i
tracts have been let in order that
the building of the road may be j
expedited. The contracts are small [
and generally cover the distance I
between two stations and are mostly j
a one-man job. Owing to the na-!
ture of the country through which!
the right of way runs in this sec
tion, wheelbarrow work is the only ;
sort of work available, the material
for the fills being obtained from
borrow pits alongside the right of ;
way. Teams and scrapers cannot
be used to advantage, owing to the
marshy nature of the country.
The grade is being built rapidly 1
under contract from the end of
steel towards Spinach creek, which
is approximately five miles from
the end of steel and it is expected
that this work will be completed be
fore the freezeup.
All of the work now being done
on the grade from the Happy station
end of the line is under the super
vision of J. B. Bickford.
