10 K RAISED
Railroad Tracks In Nenana Yards
Will Be Raised Above Flood
Level Soon.
It has been decided by the offi
cials of the Alaskan Engineering
commission to raise the tracks in
the Commission yards above the
flood level, and arrangements have
been made to take this work in
h- immediately.
The necessary gravel for this pur
pose will be obtained from a tract
of land near the powder house and
about a mile and a half out of town.
The Bueyrus dragline excavator
will be stationed there wjth a large
force of men, and just as soon as
the necessary arrangements have

be hauled into town and distributed
along the tracks.
COMMISSION CAMP IS
MOVEP.NEARER TOWN
The locomotive 272 and a string
of flat cares were sent out late
yesterday evening for the purpose
of igQving Camp 15, composed of
the surfacing gapg, to a new loca
tic>q, nearer town.
It is reported that the new lqpa
tiorj is to bp just belpw bridge 11,
which, spari? the lower end of Lost
Slough. All of the camp cars
were movpd and placed, in position
la-jt night, so that the work would
not be interfered within any way
today.
The moving of this carpR to a
more favorable position was con
templated some time ago, but owing
to the damage dqne to bridge .11 by
the flqods and the inability of the
Commission as a consequence to get
trains over the structure until it
had been repaired, made a postpone
ment necessary.
The w.ork of repairing the bridge
insofar as, the driving of. the nec
essary piles was concerned, was
quickly done, piledriver No. 4, also
known as the track driver, being
used for this purpose.
Food will win the war—produce it.
