WATERFRONT IS WRECKED |
BY ACTION OF WATER
A largp- section of Nenana's
waterfront went into the river yes
terday, the cave-in extending from
the upper end of the Alaskan En
gineering commission’s dock to a
point a short distance below A
street., representing a loss of near- j
ly 150 feet of bulkhead and a large j
part of the gravel which was used i
j to fill in behind the piling. The gap
j is growing longer hourly.
Various reasons are assigned for
' the collapse but the opinion ap
pears to be quite general that the
dredging of the river close to the j
bulkhead to get gravel for the fill. J
made a deep channel near the base |
of the piling and the action of the I
current eventually left the outer!
edge of the bulkhead unsupported. I
The weight of the gravel behind \
the piling did the rest.
From the appearance of the mass;
; which is being rapidly sluiced away ;
j by the current, no brush was used
behind the piling where the washout
'occurred. The riprap starts at a!
. . I
point just above the Ryus pumpless :
station and extends for a consider- j
[able distance upriver, with part of
! the bulkhead further reinforced by
' cables attached to deadmen an
(chored at a safe distance from the:
i river bank.
I The work of repairing the damage
j will be started immediately, and no
j particular difficulty is anticipated in
j setting new piling in place. A pile
I tlriver will be brought in from the
j line for the purpose.

Again “Seward’s Ice Box” comes
to the country’s relief in the way
of a few armfuls of wood for raw
material in the manufacture of pa
per, says the Valdez Miner. It is
estimated by the forestry depart
ment that there are three billion
dollars’ worth of stumpage alone on
the different government reserves,
to say nothing about the value of
the pulp itself when manufactured.
And still another industry is now
coming to the front from Alaska.
Secretary Payne while here discov
ered that there are billions of feet
of good birch timber in Alaska,
just what ia needed in the States
for the manufacture of furniture
and hardwood flooring, and he de
clares that within a year or two
Alaska will be furnishing a large
supply of the raw material for this
industry, as Seattle capitalists are
already applying for permission to
ship it out. What next will they
find in that old box in which Seward
kept his ice?
