Between Town and Engineering
Comp No. 400.
The steel frangs quit work Sunday
night when they had reached Sta
tion No. 18778 on the D line, a dis
tance of nine miles from the switch
on the old location near Fish creek.
The entire length of the D line
from where it branches off from the
old location to near the through cut
near Bartlett’s old camp, where it
joined on to the old line again, is
approximately twenty-one miles.
Immediately after crossing Glacier
creek, a partly completed section
of the grade was encountered and
the work of laying the steel was re
tarded somewhat by reason of the
fact that the grade here was high
and did not have sufficient surface
to permit of the work being done
as rapidly as usual the material in
its construtcion was also of poor
quality.
This awkward stretch of the road,
however, has now been got over and
the finished grade, for some distance,
beyond is in good shape for the
rapid continuance of tjie work.
The steel gang commenced work
this morning at a point about 2600
• feet beyond the bridge spanning
Glacier creek, and Superintendent
Packer states that for some distance,
at least, the work of extending the
road will proceed very rapidly, as
the finished grade will permit of the
. use of steel cars with the new
bracket attachments and the men
will have plenty of room on the
grade to handle the rails from the
brackets.
From the point on the D line
reached by the rails yesterday a
wagon road connects with the old
wagon road running to the Com
mission camps at 35-mile and be
yond and a station and platform
will be built here for the handling
of freight destined to these camps.
This eliminates Clear creek and
Lost Slough entirely and the ferries
established at these points for
freighting purposes will be discon
tinued immediately.
The engineering camp at Resi
dency 2, under the supervision of
Resident Engineer Hawley W. Sterl
ing can now be reached by rail.

LEAKY GAS CARBOY
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
BRIGHTON, England. — Several
hundred passengers on the station
waiting for trains recently were ob
served to be weeping bitterly, for
quite an hour. The cause was
eventually found to be from two
pints of “tear gas” which had leaked
from a carboy and which had per
meated the atmosphere of the whole
station.
COAL SHIPMENT j
REACHES TOWN;
WILL BE TESTED
First Shipment of Coal From Billy
Lynn's Mine Reached Town
Late Last Night.
The first shipment of coal to be
received by the Alaskan Engineering
commission for testing purposes, was
brought into town last night, and it
is expected that it will thoroughly
tested.
The coal was mined by W. J
Lynn close to the right of way at
the 29th mile post south of town
and is said to be of very good quality
and suitable for use on the loco
motives.
It is not definitely known just
when the coal will be tested out, or
whether it will be tested on the
j locomotive or the boiler at the power
| plant.
The extensive use of this fuel by
the Commission will depend largely
on the results of the tests which will
take place shortly. The result of
the test will be eagerly looked for
ward to by everybody interested in
Nenana and the development of the
coal mining industry.
CITY MAINS 10
BE SAFEGUARDED
AGAINST FROST
Townsite Manager H. B. Joseph
is now taking the necessary steps
for the protection of the city’s water
system from the action of frost.
The wooden pipes will, it is believed,
withstand the action of the frost and
the protective measures now being
taken are for the iron pipes con
necting the hydrants with the wood
en mains.
Householders and business houses
where water systems are installed
should see to the protection of the
pipes leading into their buildings.

ence of a number of notable min
isters of various denominations both
