been advised that his nephew, Einar
Tonseth, is among those released

vill be the Alaska.
Whether or not William Papa

WM. ROD1GKE1T Proprietor
The Nenana river has gone on
1 the rampage again and -word was
i received late last night that the
waters, rising rapidly and carrying
; considerable driftwood, bore down
I on the big bridge at the Crossing
(43-mile), carrying away six bents
of the piling, including some of
the main piers.
j Supt. Packer immediately organ
ized a gang of men, composed
mostly of the Brown hoist crew and
the men engaged in filling in the
waterfront, and at a very early hour
this morning went out to the Cross
ing on a special train with the
' Brown hoist in tow, for the pur
pose of salvaging as much of the
superstructure of the bridge as
possible. The early reports of the
disaster indicated that the rails and
ties were still holding.
Assistant Engineer Ike P. Taylor
told a News representative this
morning that the report he had re
ceived from Superintendent Packer
indicated that a gap in the bridge
of about 190 feet ha^ been caused
by the flood waters, over which the
rails and ties hung suspended and
that about fifteen bents of piling,
including the main piers, had been
taken out. One of the center piers
appears to be still holding, but it
too has tilted over and will prob
i ably be washed away. Only a few
i bents of the trestle approaches on
either end of the bridge appear to
be left by the floods.
The waters of the Xenana river,
Mr. Taylor said, are still reported
to be rising and further danger to
the structure at the Crossing may
be expected. The gang of men,
with the assistance of the Brown
hoist, will try to salvage as much
of the bridge material as is left.
Superintendent Packer is at the
i scene of the disaster and will prob
ai . remain there for some time.
Mr. Taylor was of the opinion
that the damage was caused not
so much by the driftwood coming
down as by the action of the water,
which had apparently sluiced out
and undermined the piling and
, piers. The river flows very swiftly
! in the neighborhood of the bridge,
and the river bottom there is com
1 posed of boulders and coarse gravel,
making the matter of reaching a
p satisfactory penetration with the
I piling a very difficult matter in
■ 1 deed. No estimate of the damage
1 | done nor of the repairs to be under
s taken can be made at the present
l time, he said, and the only thing
that could be done now was to
. salvage all the material possible
; and wait for an abatement of the
. i floods before taking any action
i^to restore thorough communication
» with the coal mine and beyond.
3 At a late hour this afternoon,
i Superintendent W. L. Packer phon
; ed the News from the dragline
i camp, stating that six more bents
Iof the N'enana bridge had been
taken out, representing an aggre
.(gate loss of approximately 350 feet
i of structure.
The river level at 43-mile is now
falling rapidly, and no further
•trouble is expected. It wiH take
. about a month to repair the damage
\ done.

SOLDIERS SEEK
1 FROM CLUB
10 LEAVE POST
‘ Weary of waiting for long-de
; layed discharges, the draft boys at
tached to the post at Fort Gibbon
'have appealed to the Commercial
clubs of N'enana and Fairbanks for
aid in hastening their release from
| the service. A telegram from the
boys, similar to the one sent to
Fairbanks, was read at the special
meeting of the Nenana Commercial
club last night, and it was voted to
: communicate at once with the com
manding officer at Gibbon, request
ing information relative to the in
dentions of the war department,
j The telegram stated that thirty
five of the draft boys were unable,
j to secure their release, notwith
standing the fact that their pres
ence at Gibbon was not necessary.
It was pointed out also that their
retention in the service until the
end of summer would throw them
.upon their own resources at a sea
son of the year when it »woula be
j difficult, if not impossible, for them
to secure employment, besides caus
ing the loss to them of an entire
summer’s work.
Requests doubtless would have
been sent to department heads for
the immediate release of the Gib
bon boys, but for the fact that a
i private wire received from Gibbon
I indicated that demobilization al
ready had been authorized. This
information was reeeived in a wire
to Ralph Waechter, from Captain
Spaulding, stating that it would be
impossible to send a soldier ball
team to Nenana for the Fourth,
because the boys probably would be
out of the service before that time.
The club wire to the command
ing officer will request details of
the demobilization program, and if
it is found that the war depart
ment has really decided to release
the draft boys this month, no fur
ther action will be taken.

LAST DANCE WILL
DRAW BIG CROWD
_
The dancers of Nenana are look
ing forward with pleasurable antici
pation to the good time promised
for Saturday night, on the occasion
of the closing dance of the season
to be given under the direction of
Mrs. Belle Campbell, and there is
, the assurance that the affair will
be very largely attended.
I The dances given by Mrs. Camp
bell during the past several months
have occupied a very important
place in the social life of the town,
helping to tide over dull periods
and affording wholesome recreation
! at a very nominal price, and it is
i certain that there will be a large
turnout to make the last dance the
i best of the series,
i The dance will be held at Union
i hall, as usual, and there will be the
usual low admission charge.

Among the passengers on board
the steamer Tanana. headed for
Yukon river points, are John Joslin
and Abe McKinnon, pioneer road
builders of Interior Alaska, who
are enroute to Circle, Rampart and
Chandlar to investigate road needs
in those districts for the Alaska
Road commission.
To what extent they were au
thorized to expend funds in road
work in the districts which they
will visit, was not disclosed by the
investigators, during their brief
stay in Nenana, but it was inti
mated by them that their program
called for the employment of a
number of men. These men, it is
understood, will be secured in the
districts where the work is under
taken, and the number of workers
determined after the road needs
have been investigated.
