PARTICULARS OF
i
Mr. C. H. Hall, special disbursing
agent of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, who is at the head of
the campaign to be opened to
morrow for the sale of Fourth
Liberty Loan Bonds, received a j
large quantity of posters, honor
cards and emblems and some litera
ture regarding the bonds. The post
ers are being distributed around town
and Mr. Hall will be glad to explain
the honor emblem system to anyone
who wishes to be informed about it.
The following telegram from the
governor of the Federal Reserve |
Bank of San Francisco was received
by Mr. Hall yesterday:
San Francisco, Sept. 25, 1918
Alaskan Engineering Commission,
Nenana, Alaska.
“The Fourth Liberty Loan is six,
billion dollars, maturing fifeenth of
October, 1938, under terms of treas
ury department circular No. 121,!
which exempts the interest on not
to exceed §30,000 of Fourth Loan i
bonds, owned by any one holder:
from graduated additional income
taxes, commonly known as surtaxes
and excess porfits and war profits!
taxes.
“LYNCH,
Governor.”
TRIP IS MADE
FROM 43-MILE
IN SMALL BOAT
!
i
Grant Allan, of the engineering
staff stationed at Camp 368, and
Ole Boen, proprietor of the 43-mile
roadhouse, arrived in town on the
train coming in last night- Grant
has been called to the colors by the
local board at Kalama, Wash., and
Ole Boen, who is a Norwegian and
has only taken out his first papers,
is in town for the express purpose
of volunteering his services and get
ting away with the thrid draft
quota if possible.
The boys left the roadhouse at
43-mile, where they were joined by
J. A. Heaney, about 9 o’clock yes
terday morning in a small boat
about 12 feet long, and floating
down the swift waters of the Ne
nana river, made the camp at 35
mile in an hour and a half from
the time of leaving. After a delay
of about half an hour at this camp,
they resumed their journey and
made another brief stop for lunch
at the 35-mile roadhouse, which is
now closed, and landed finally at
Camp 9, on the old wagon trail,
about 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
The boat was put into winter quart
ers here and the party crossed over
to the D line and caught the train
for town.
The journey down the little known ;
channels of the Nenana river was
made in safety, the only excitement
occurring on the riffles below the!
confluence of Moose creek with the j
Nenana. At this point the boat wasj
buffeted by the contending currents'
for a while and shipped considerable
water and kept the boys bailing;
hard to keep her afloat.
While nearing the camp at 35
mile their craft grazed a huge partly
i submerged boulder which tilted her
at an awkward angle, but she soon
righted herself and carried the party
safely on down. Apart from these
little incidents, the journey was very
enjoyable.
i_
J. R. Fowle, the well known Fair
banks business man, arrived on the
! steamer Reliance this morning and
left again for the upper town on the
same boat.
George Hunter, who had been
visiting Nenana for the past few
days, returned to Fairbanks this
: morning.

King’’ and the humblest subject have

TRACKLAYING IS
SPEEDILY DONE
. ON NEW DUNE
Seventeen Hundred Feet of Track
Wai Laid on D Line During
Working Hour* Yesterday.
Station No. 18689 was reached
yesterday evening by the tracklay
ing gang under Foreman Thomas
Blakey, which means that over
eleven miles of railroad has been
completed from the switch on the
old location near Fish creek to the
end of steel on the lew D 'ine The
distance covered by Tom Blakey’s
men from the point at which they
quit work on Wednesday evening
to Station No. 18689 is exactly 1700
feet, and is the greatest distance
covered by the steel gang in any
one working day of eight hours
since the construction of the D line
was commenced.
It is thought that this is a very
good showing, considering the diffi
culties encountered in the way of
partly finished grade with poor ma
terial to work on and swampy coun
try. Of the 1700 feet of track
finished yesterday, 1400 feet of it
was over partly completed grade
and the rest of it in a swamp.
This swamp extends from Station
18657 to 18683, a distance of 2600
feet, where the right of way trav
erses it, and a considerable amount
of cribbing up with .logs will have
to be done to get the line over,
and consequently, the tracklaying
work for the next few days will
be necessarily a little slower than
hereofore.
After this swamp has been com
pleted, and for about a mile or so,
the finished grade will be encount
ered, and judging from the rate of
progress made by the steel gang
when anything like decent ground
to work on is given them, this por
tion of the finished grade will be
covered in short order.
The work of the steel gang is
greatly simplified and accelerated
by the use of the new device, in
vented by Superintended Packer and
manufactured in the machine shop
here, for handling the steel on the
line.
The device consists of a strong
steel bracket or hanger, so con
structed that it can be easily fitted
on to the sides of any flat car; it
has a slight outward inclination from
the side of the car, when swung
and it fitted with steel rollers on
which the rail rests. Six of these
hangars are fitted on each side
of the steel-laden cars, the rails, as
required, are lowered on the hangers
and slid forward on the rollers to
the men ahead, and the delay ac
casioned by having to lift out the
| rails and carry them on tongs to
| where they are to be laid, has been
; done away with.
The steel is thus rapidly slid along
the hangars, laid, spiked and bolted
by the men of the steel gang and
the work train goes ahead, while
the surfacing gang, following close
on the heels of the steel gang, com
plete the spiking and bolting, while
surfacing the track laid.
