I
NEW CHANNEL AT
LOST SLOUGH IS
CUTTING GRADE
i -
i Water Continue* to Drop in Nenani
River and Repair* May Be
Started Soon.
Late reports received from ou
the line would indicate that in spit
of the rains experienced, the leve
of the waters is steadily decreasini
and if it Keeps up at the presen
rate of dimunition it is probabl
that rescue and cepair work can soo
jbe undertaken and the real cxter.
' of the damage to the right of wa
, and other property of the Algska
Engineering commi-ss'ci: ascertained
From meager r* ports it is gafli
ered that the portion of Inc right o
way lying immediately at the south
i ern end of the big trestle acros
I
Lost Slough has been iransforme
into the channel of a swiftly flow
ing stream, and in consequence 1
will be n very difficult matter t
gain access t>. the trestle from th
southern short untii the waters hav
abated considerably more than a
the present time, and a cable stretch
ed across the gap to steady the boa
that will make the crossing. It i
stated by recent arrivals in towi
from the inundated area that th<
stream at the south end of the trestli
is too swift to be negotiated by an'
boat unless it it attached to ant
steadied by a cable.
It was stated in these column
that the extent of the damage dom
the big trestle was estimated to b'
the carrying away of three of th<
middle bents, but it is reported tha
the gap torn in the center of thi
structure appears to be large enougl
to warrant the belief that a greate
number of bents went out.
A small camp to house the mei
who will operate the ferry acros
Cleer creek has now been establishei
and a ferry is also operating acros
Lost Slough near the wing dam an'
the mail and a small quantity o
supplies will be transported for th
present and until such time a
through communication can ue es
tablished on a larger scale.
The camps beyond Camp 16 stil
seem to be isolated and cannot b
reached by telephone.
A cable dispatch says the use o
spaghetti in certain parts of Italy i
prohibited. And that means som
“real food shortage.’’

: REACH TOWN ON
! BUSISS TRIP
’ Commissions- and Mrs. Van Orsde!
and Charles Cries Make Trip
Down Turbulent Stream.
! Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Van Orsdel
- and Charles Gries arrived in Ne
nana last night from the Kantishna
1 country on a business visit. They
left 14 above, Glacier, on the 27th
of May in their power launch and
i report having had a pleasant rtip
5 all the way.
1 Prior to their leaving Nenana to
! engage in mining in the Kantishna
1 country, Mr. Van Orsdel held the
T position of property clerk with the
■ Alaskan Engineering commission,
» while Mrs. Van Orsdel acted as
- assistant to the postmaster here.
They were both much impressed
* with the growth and appearance of
? the town and were taking in the
sights up to a very late hour last
night, penetratfng into the different
^ parts of the town, despite the
5 flooded condition of some of it.
' Mr. Van Orsdel reports that the
Kantishna country did not escape
the effects of the floods and that
the Kantishna river rose to a very
high level, the highest known in
many years, flooding large sections
of the country. This would appeal
to be particularly so in regard to
the country in the immediate neigh
borhood of the mouth of the Toklat
During the trip down the Kantishna
and up the Tanana rivers a marked
falling of the water level was daily
noted.
Mr. Van Orsdel holds the position
of commissioner, and Mrs. Van
Orsdel that of postmaster for the
Kantishna district.
