A. L C. EMPLOYES
TO PRESENT LANE
The employes of the Alaskan En
gineering commission are subscrib- j
ing to a fund which is being raised,
for the purpose of having a pictui’e'
of Mt. McKinley painted for pres
entation to Franklin K. Lane, for-:
mer secretary of the interior, as
an evidence of the esteem in which
he is held by builders of the Gov- j
eminent railroad.
The movement was started by j
employes in the Anchorage division
and the word passed along to Ne
nana in order that employes in this
division might share in the -gift, con
tributions being limited to 50 cents.
The plan is to have Sidney Law
rence, clever coast painter, put
Alaska’s great mountain on canvas,
the assumption being that Mr. Lane
will greatly appreciate a gift em
blematic of the great Northland, in
the development of which he dis
played the warmest interest during
the seven years he was at the head
of the interior department.
Mr. Lawrence already has painted
a picture of McKinley, the canvas
having recently been unveiled in
one of the coast towns, where it
was much admired. And it is be
lieved the picture he will paint for
Mr. Lane will be still better.
The amount the employes desire
to raise is $300.

BEFORE APRIL 1
Telegraph and telephone com
munication between Nenana and
Anchorage, by way of the new
Government line now under con
struction along the right-of-way, j
will be possible probably before the j
end of the present month, according !
to Superintendent K. R. McFarland, j
of the Alaskan Engineering com- j
mission telegraph and telephone de
partment, who arrived in Nenana |
this week on a tour of Inspection, j
The wire is being extended from i
both directions and the gap be
tween ends of wire is now only
about 25 miles.
A crew of men have been work
ing north from the Anchorage end
for some time past, under the di
rection of Foreman George Woods, j
and were at Mile 325 today. Re-!
cently a crew was started from this
end to meet the incoming linemen.
The line will be known as a com
posite telegraph and telephone line,
and while it is a purely railroad
enterprise, for use in connection
with the construction work now in
progress and the operation of the
railroad later on, the service will
be available for public use in case •
of emergency and will insure In-1
terior Alaska uninterrupted com-;
mumcauon witn coasi uie ytai \
round by wire.
Major McFarland is not a stranger
in Interior Alaska, and neither is
Foreman Woods, who accompanied
him to town. Both were here eight j
years ago, when the major directed j
the work of installing the military |
telegraph line from Tanana to Fair-:
!banks. At that time Nenana boast-;
jed a single building—the Duke trad
|ing post.
The major and his assistant were
! in France together, during the late j
jwar, where they had 2,000 miles
, of American wires to look after.
■ And Mr. Woods went from France
to Russia in the outfit with which
Genera! Storekeeper Donaldson was
connected.
The visitors went to Fairbanks
on today’s train and will return to
Nenana on Tuesday. The major
:plans to spend several days in Ne
jnana on his return, and will then
! avail himself of the opportunity to
| get better acquainted with Nenana
jites, with whom he has a number of
•matters he would like to discuss.
