LOSS OF RAILROAD BRIDGE
RESULTS IN COAL SHORTAGE
The wreck of the big railroad
bridge at Ferry by the recent fresh
et in the Nenana river, causing a
serious break in rail communieatior
between Nenana and the cosst, has
necessitated almost complete sus
! pension of train movements on the
[ northern end of the Govemmeni
i
railroad because of the limited a
mount of coal available for use ir
the locomotives. Practically all o1
the fuel used on the railroad ii
shipped from the coast mines anc
the break in communication make*
it necessary to use spareingly oi
the supply on hand at this end of the
railroad. The reserve supply of Sun
trana coal at the Nenana powei
plant has been commanded for use
on the railroad, compelling the citj
to draw its fuel supply temporarily
from the railroad stock pile, a verj
inferior grade of coal which hai
been in the local yards a iong time
Reports from Nenana crossing in
dieate that the work of rebuilding
the Ferry bridge is progressing rap
idly and it is expected trains will b<
able to cross the river by June 20
after which it will be posible speed
ily to relieve the local fuel situation
The water in the Nenana river i:
getting back to normal rapidly.
A tremendous volume of wate:
is reported to have rushed down tht
Nenana river during the freshet, the
flood having been the worst record
ed. The branch line bridge, nea:
Healy, over which coal was haule<
to the main line from Sunrtana, wa
entirely submerged and appeared t<
be standing the strain splendidly un
til it was struck by a wing dan
and an accumulation of drift. In ad
dition to wrecking the bridge, thi
, j freshet also is reported to have doni
,| considerable damage to the brand
line grade on the Suntrana side o:
the river.
The flood cut a great gash in thi
bank, just below the big bluff, a
| Nenana crossing, eating away thi
north approach to the bridge am
I ! undermining the big concrete pier a
i the north end of the bridge. Th
house occupied by the section fore
man and his family was carried a
way, as was also the big span of th
. bridge. Considerble of the souther
end of the bridge also was wreckec
1 Several small bridges along th
' line south of Healy are reported t
have been either badly damaged o
taken out completely by the torrent
of water which pours out of th
r side streams flowing into the N«
nana river.

JOIN HANDS IN WEDLOCK
—
Miss Elizabeth Rappolt, niece of |
Henry Rappolt, pioneer resident of
| Nenana. was united in marriage on
Tuesday night to George Hupprich,
one of Nenana’s most popular young
businessmen. The ceremony was per
formed by U. S. Commissioner Chas.
D. Leckie. with William Heinz and i
Louis Black, intimate friends of the '
groom, in attendance as witnesses.
The bride is a delightfully pleas- j
ing young lady and although a com-1
paratively recent arrival in Nenana, j
. has a wide circle of friends. She and
her brother arrived from Gemany
only a few months ago. The groom
has been a resident of Nenana for
a number of years. He had charge
of one of the Commission warehous-,
es for a considerable time and left 1
the employ of the Government to ac
■ cept a position with the Northern
i Commercial Company, with which
concern he remained until last month
when he engaged in business for
himself, as head of the Alaska Trans
fer of Nenana. ,
A large number of Elks and other
friends paid their respects to the
young couple last evening, the visit
taking the form of a charivari, fol
lowed by a showering of congratu-1
lations and gifts upon the newlyweds j i
