Very Satisfactory Prog-ess Nos

V . engaged in stripping the ice over

The grade, for some distance fron

end of steel and up t(
1300-foo

J* trestle across Lost Slough begins
will have to be eribbed up befor<
% any rails can be laid, but as all tht
^ necessary material for this purpo=<
** has been gotten ready and assemblec
e on the scene ol
L for instant
f
action, the work of cribbing will b<
finished in short order,
t The big trestle has been ready foi
♦
the steel for some time past and tht
grade beyond for some distance be
j (35-mile) is com
£ - yond Residency 3
J pleted in every detail and the ties
► distributed along the entire length
of it, in readiness for use bv the
r steel gang. As stated in these col
umns previously, there is a space oi
only one thousand yards from the
end of steel to where the big trestle
!.
>♦ begins, only a portion of which needs
k
J* to be cribbed before the steel could
be laid, and this work is expected tc
> be finished in a very short time after
% the grade has been stripped of the
encumbering ice.
The warm weather now expe
5* rienced is helping the work along
$» very considerably and a very large
quantity of the
\ has been such a hindrance to
r i
flood waters that
the
progress of the work is daily being
K gotten rid of- The drainage scheme
►
put m lorce as soon as tne work fo:
► the season had been undertaken, ha:
t been extended and improved greatly
dams and other flood
most effect
( and as the
>
p protection works will
J . ively prevent further encroachment;
► : of the river, it is expected that al
► most all the accumulated flood water;
f i will be drained off into legitimate
? ; channels in a short time.
To make the wing dam which wa;
driven across the head of Lost Sloug’r
f effective at the earliest possible
moment, a large quantity of log;
and brush has been gathered it
readiness for use as soon as the ice
in the immediate vicinity of the u...
goes out. For the entire length ol
> the dam a series of piles have beer
\ driven and capped, leaving a little
space between the closely driver
£ piles of the dam proper and the row;
L of capped piles, large logs have beer
L laid on the caps in readiness to be
rolled into the water to fill the
f space between the dam and the row
J ; of piles, and thus securely hold the
{ waters that ordinarily go to form
£ Lost Slough and swing it to the
f main channel to flow harmlessly
| away.
Until such time as the ice
melts away or goes out from around
£ the flood protection works, a smaii
: quantity of the overflows may run
.* in the channel of Lost Slough, but
Li
, after the material now in readiness
.♦ has been used and the dam made
V ^ secure no fears whatever are enter
» tained of any damage being done
5* | by the grade from th encroachments
of the river in this section of the
L! country.
About one mile above the dam
described a narrow, though deep
channel has beeif dredged out and
otherwise prepared to receive the
bulk of the waters of Lost Slough,
and. as an added precaution, an
other strong dam was driven across
the channel in which the water was
carried to the point where the pres
ent wing dam has been built.; this
first dam will receive the full force
of the river as it swings in the
direction of the grade and is ex
petced to turn a considerable volume
~ of it into the prepared channel, the
water that gets by this dam will be
^ j swung into midstream when it reach
s:
es the wing dam, and all danger
from floods in the neighborhood of
Lost Slough will thus be eliminated.!
When the water in the river is ab
normally high, sufficiently so to
reach beyond the tops of the dams
constructed, quite a volume of watst
may go through Lost Slough, and,
i ample provision has been made 10
j guard against such a contingency,
| but under normal conditions, no dan
I ger whatever, from this source, is
apprehended.
A very considerable advance has
been made in the preparations for
\ active tracklaying and surfacing
I operations; additions have been made
\ to the force employed and Superin
tendent of Construction Packer hopes
'to be able to have the night shifts
on from the beginning of next week.
Locomotive No. 272 is now almost
ready for the road and will prob
j ably leave for the scene of activi
| ties in a few days. There will be
two crews on the Bucyrus dragline
! excavator and all necessary arrange
! ments have been made for uninter
j rupted train service to handle the
I gravel cars. Additional bunk cars
i will go out on Saturday to Camp
122 to house the extra men. Mr.
j Fred Craig, until recently engineer
j of Piledriver No. 1 at Residency 4
| (43-mile) has been selected to be
! foreman of Camp 22 and will take
j charge immediately,
j A spur track, to accommodate the
I gravel cars has been laid off the
main line and in the immediate •
j neighborhood of the gravel bar on '
: which the Bucyrus is operating, and
! the first string of gravel cars were
| got out and used to strengthen the
| bed of this track yesterday. About
| a quarter of a mile of track has al
! ready been laid, but this will be
! added to steadily to meet the re-'
quirements of the road. The gravel
j found here is said to be of the right
i consistency for railroad purposes and
| the quantity that could be had is al
! most unlimited. A little trouble from
i frost was experienced at a depth
J of a few feet, but this will not
J hinder the work in any way. The |
I surface gravel which is free from
| frost conditions, will be used and
the Bucyrus moved back to almost
i the end of the spur track, and by
■ the time she is ready to move for
ward again to the pcint of begin
ning. the action of the sun on the i
exposed gravel bar will have entirely
eliminated the frost.
Ail of the camp, bunk mess, and
supply cars that had been placed
I on flat cars prior to being moved
i to the present locations of the new
j camps, are now being placed on
cribbing made of ties, and the flat
cars have been released for work
with the gravel trains. The new
convertible cars are now being used
also, and when all the flat cars
available have been sent out the line
there will be a continuos string of
gravel cars being loaded and un
loaded simutlaneously.

DUCK BRAVES DEATH
BY COMING TO TOWN
Not aware, evidently, that Game
Warden Steve Foster is a patient at
,the Government hospital, unable to
j atiend to his official duties, and
, that Roy Douse and Harold Ander
son have assumed the responsibility
cf guarding the town against enemy
invasions from the air, a nervy duck
made its appearance on A street
yesterday afternoon, taking up a
position immediately in front of the
Arctic, where it remained suffi
ciently long to attract quite a crowd.
Com* and play a hand Saturday
for those "over there.”

BOYS "WILL HONOR
DAY WITH LETTER
General Pershing Issues Order Re
quiring Soldiers to Observe
Mothers Day.
With the American Army in
France, May 10.—The American ex
peditionary forces will observe
Mothers Day by writing letters to
the home folks. Each soldier, where
ever stationed, will be given the
opportunity to write a few lines
to relatives in the States or else
where. “This is a little thing to
do,” explained General Pershing at
the time of signing the order, “but
it will carry back a message of
courage and affection to the women
whose love inspires us to victory.”
Remember the place, ladies. The
