RAILROAD FORCES ARE CUT;
IMPORTANT WORK STOPPED
Orders have come to Nenana dur
ing the past few days to cut the
railroad forces in this division to
the lowest possible number, and the
orders have already been carried out,
except in one or two cases, which
will be deferred, if possible, until
the return of Engineer in Charge
Browne.
The curtailment orders cut seven
from the list of store and ware
house employes, reduced the force
in the machine shop a third, lopped
off the heads of half the yards
laborers in Nenana and Healy, re
duced the carpenter shop force to
two men, made serious inroads on
the timekeeping department, wiped
out the Haslem residency completely
and cut the other engineering forces
to five men each, eliminated the
Blakey gang of 16 men who started
work on the Fairbanks line several
days ago, and discontinued the im
portant work of repairing the water
front where the cavein occurred
recently. Orders also were received
to cut the powerhouse force from
six to four men, but it is possible
that no action will be taken in that
matter until Mr. Browne returns.
It is, not known here why the
curtailment is being made, but it
is presumed that it is on account
of the depletion of the Alaskan En
gineering commission’s treasury.
Local officials of the commission
express the opinion that the cur
tailment is not as serious as might
appear. They point out that similar
cuts made in previous years have
been followed, after a brief inter
val, by the re-employment of work
ers and they think the cut at this
time may be only a temporary re
trenchment.
The waterfront repair work, it
is claimed, will be done less econo
mically in the spring than at the
present time. The work must be done
before the breakup and it pointed
out that the piling can be driven
easily now because of the presence
of little frost. In the spring the
river gravel will be frozen to a
great depth.
It is also claimed that the work
in which the Blakey gang was en
gaged when the cuituikn.-nt order
came, can be dore now more cheap
en. _ ■ ■ — ..
ly than after the ground is covered
with snow.
Besides throwing a considerable
number of men out of employment
in the middle of winter, the curtail
ment, it is claimed, will cause a
serious loss of population to the
Interior country, as quite a number
of those who have lost their jobs
will leave for the coast and the
Outside. Some have already gone.
Another bad feature, it is pointed
out, is the almost certain difficulty
the commission will experience ir.
getting a new working force together
when the need of retrenchment be
comes less acute.
BAZAAR PLANS COMPLETE;
BIG TIME ON SATURDAY
The ladies in charge of the ar
rangements being made for the
bazaar and dance scheduled to take
place at Union hall on Saturday
night under the auspices of the
Ladies’ Aid society for the benefit
of Grace church, announce that
everything is going fine and that
there is reason to believe the affair
will be one of the most enjoyable
ever held in Nenana.
The several booths promise to
be especially attractive, with fancy
work, good eats, home-made candies,
’n everything. The entertainment
also promises to be a big feature
and it is said some surprises are in
store. Mrs. Leon Kellum has charge
of the program.
Tickets for the bazaar and dance
were placed on sale some time ago
and reports indicate that there will
be a large crowd on hand to enjoy
the affair, which is deserving of the
support of the entire community.
The following program has been
arranged :
Catchy Songs . ..Miss Ethel Rosburg
Accompanied by Mrs. Coghill
Selections by Bert. Johnson’s Jazz
Orchestra.
