GRAVEL CREWS RUSHING TO
KEEP RAILROAD LINE OPEN
With good luck in the way of
favorable weather conditions, there
J will be no serious interruption to
! traffic on The Alaska Railroad this
spring, according to F. A. Hansen,
engineer maintenance and construc
tion, who arrived from the coast
| this week to give his personal at
tention to the commencement of
work in connection with the grading
1 and bridge building operations in
1 and near Nenana.
Mr. Hansen says that three steam
shovels and a Bucyrus ditcher are
getting out the material for bal
lasting and grading work along the
line, north of Riley, and such favor
able progress is being made that
it is believed it will be possible to
; prevent any serious breaks in the
service during the spring thaw.
One of the shovels is at work at
j Mile 204. another at Mile 327 and
i the third will be moved from Mile
, "31 to Mile 347. The big ditcher
! will be located at Mile 351. to which
point it ij to be moved front Mile
348.
Mr. Hansen reports th3t the line
l change, to be made in the vicinity of
Bridge 16, where the Nenana river
' is cutting into the bank, will be
; made under the direction of Resi
! dent Engineer Truitt, who was ex
1 peeted to arrive from Anchorage to
day to take the work in hand. The
proposed change will involve about
three miles of track.

! used at street crossings. The coun
J cil hopes later to be able to arrange
j for a general distribution of cinders
where the streets are in need of
I repair.

bill by the Healy River Coa; Cor
: poration for street lighting and wa
ter service for the month of March,

JONES HERE TO COMMENCE
WORK ON BRIDGE APPROACH
Captain C. G. Jones, under whose
abie and energetic direction the gap
in The Alaska Railroad, south of
Riley, was closed early last winter,
much in advance of original esti
mates, arrived from the coast this
week to take charge of the work
in connection with the big steel
bridge which is to form the final
link in the railroad. Mr. Jones had
been offered a deputy marshalship
at Anchorage, but was prevailed up
on by Chief Hansen to stay with
the railroad work and become identi
fied with the building of what prom
ises to be the most important piece
of construction on the entire sys
tem.
The first work to be taken in
hand on the Nenana side of the river
will be the extension of the track
east through town to the bridge site,
and the clearing and grading of the
south approach. The clearing con
tract. involving about 25 acres was
to have been awarded today.
The track along Front street. Mr.
street to a point near the upper end
of town, where it will turn to the
south and loop back to the river
on a one per cent grade. A consid
erable part of the approach will be
trestle work, ending with a viaduct
at the river.
The track along Front stree, Mr.
Hansen has assured The News, will
not interfere with traffic in the
least, after the work has been com
pleted. In fact, Mr. Hansen says,
the grading will improve the street.
The employment of men necessary
to rush the work to completion, will
necessitate the reopening of the
dormitory, known as the Bachelor
Quarters, and the main office build
ing also will be utilized as a dormi
tory. instead of establishing a camp
near the bridge.
It is also the intention of the Com
mission to reopen the Nenana mess,
and as the work approaches the
bridge site, the crews will be haul
ed back and forth by a switch en
gine.
Grading operations on the north
side of the river are taking form
rapidly and it was expected that
the steam shovel would be started
today, at the point of the hill near
North Nenana.
Bids for the steel bridge which is
to span the river, will be opened in
Seattle within a few' days, and the
successful bidder will fabricate and
erect the structure, as was done
with the Hurricane bridge.
