NENANA RISING;
WATER CAUSING
DELAY IN WOE
Ice Move* Out of Lost Slougb
Followed by Run of Water
Into That Channel.
Late news from out the line would
indicate that the water in the Ne
nana river began to raise on the
morning of the 24th and so con
tinued until about noon on the 25th,
when the extreme high water mark
would appear to have been reached.
With intermittent rising and falling
between times, it began to drop
again till yesterday morning, when
a drop of about two feet from the
level reached on the 25th was re
corded at Camp 9 (20-mile) in the
neighborhood of the big wing dam.
Last night the water began to rise
again and the ice in the bed ol
Lost Slough went out yesterday af
ternoon. A considerable volume oi
water is reported to be flowing in
the channel and efforts are now be
ing directed towards turning it sc
that it will not interfere with the
continuance of active construction
work. Foreman Frank Frazier,
whose crew of men had been re
cently reinforced in anticipation of
trouble in this direction, has this
work in hand at present.
The trail hitherto in use for
freighting, from the end of steel
to Camp 9 (20-mile) being now no
longer possible; a temporary road is
being cut through the woods con
necting Camp 16, near the end of
steel, with the old wagon road and
supplies destined to Camp 9 and
ueyond will be freighted over this
•oad. The big trestle across Lost
Slough will probably be decked to
illow the passage of freight teams
>ver it until such time as steel is
aid as far as the camp at 20-Mile.
The bulk of the water flowing
n Lost Slough seems to be coming
through the spaces between the
piles driven at the head of the slough
to form part of the dam. and over
the top of the rip rap dam which
commences at the, point where the
piling ends and continues across it’s
bead to the north shore of Lost
Slough. When the waters have sub
sided sufficiently the work of plac
ing brush and making the dam tight
will probably be taken in hand.
A considerable flow of water
along the grade for some distance
below the trestle across Lost Slough
and in the direction of Camp 16 is
also reported, but this will probably
be remedied when the dam is fin
ished and the water turned into
legitimate channels sway from the
right of way. The work of Camps
15, 16, and 22, located at points on
;he right of way below Lost Slough,
lave not been interfered with so far.
In the neighborhood of Residency
1 (43-mile), Camp 18 and Residency
1 (3-mile) and all the way down
,o the Lost Slough country, the high
vater has casued no damage of any
lescription, though it has made en
roachments on the wagon road in
daces, but not of such a nature as
vould interfere with the movement
if freight.
Moose creek is reported to be on
i rampage and at the point where
t crosses the wagon road it said to
>e almost impassable for teams.
Should a further rise in the water
iccur freight for points beyond may
lave to be held at Camp 18 until
he waters subside sufficiently to
illow the papage of teams across
his creek. A bridge will probably
ie erected there shortly.
The piledriver which had been
jsed to drive the piles for the bridge
icross the Nenana river at 43-Mile,
and later to drive a small trestle
bridge on the right of way about a
mile north of this camp, has now
been moved to where Moose creek
crosses the right of way and will
shortly commence driving the nec
essary piles for a bridge at this!
point. The crew of the piledriver
are now located at Camp 18.

IRED CROSS BALL
IS BIG SUCCESS
QUOTA DOUBLED
All records were broken on Satur
day night at the big rally which was
held at Union hall for the purpose of
i raising funds for the Red Cross.
I
The affair was a tremendous suc
cess from every angle, eclipsing all
previous efforts of a similar char
acter and fixing a new standard in
the entertainment line in Nenana.
The Union building, upstairs and
downstairs, was packed to overflow
ing from early evening until early
morning, and contributions to the
! fund flowed into the box office from
! various and sundry sources in a
! swift-flowing stream that seemed to
! have no end. The gross receipts
(thus far reported, total $2160.80,
! exclusive of the money received from
; bids on the half pound of wool that
| is to be auctioned off. The little
; boxers brought in $7.50, the Tavern
cake 127.50, and $528.25 is the
j amount turned in for collections
imade for admissions. The balance
of the total reported represents
money received from the sale of re
freshments and script and from other
sources.
j The upper floor of the building
j was reserved for dancing and for
j the entertainment. The lower floor
i much resembled the main street of
Dyea during the early day rush to
the Klondike. There were gambling
devices of every sort, from the inno
cent looking shell game to the more
serious problem of faro. Crap
shooters were given the opportunity
to show their skill and there was
black jack running in open defiance
of the authorities, not to mention a
wheel of fortune and numerous other
devices, which were long ago frown
ed out of commission by the law, to
reappear unexpectedly under the pro
tection of the Red Cross.
It was a great night. Introduc
tions to the various games were
many and the play was fast and
furious throughout the night. Phony
fortunes were won and lost and sev
! eral times games were put out of
j business by men with lucky hunches.
| Charles Ingersoll broke the faro
j bank and Walter Preston put the
I crap game in soak for all the script
j in sight. The latter gentleman had
! about all the money there was in
: sight when the games were closed,
I and was awarded a prize for his
skill in rolling the bones.
The large cake which was donated
by the employees of the Tavern
cafe and raffled during the evening,
was won by L. P. Shoemacher, to
gether with a life membership to
the Red Cross. He returned the
cake to the Red Cross and it will
be disposed of again %t a later date.
W. H. Gilcher was equally generous
with a gold watch, which he won
on the wheel of fortune.
Donations were received from sev
eral who could not attend the affair,
including Kenneth Case and Ralph
Darling, who sent in $5 each from
35-Mile, and N. G. Nelson and G.
Jenson, who gave an equal amount.
Another friend of the Red Cross
gave $10, and Brooker’s cafe gave a
large cake.
Miss Helen Hutmacher was award
ed the prize for getting the greatest
number of bingles during the even
ing.
The ladies in charge of the dance
were Mrs. Landwehr, chairman, Mrs.
Fred Craig, Mrs. R. G. Southworth,
Mrs. David H. More, Mrs. Jamison
and Mrs. R. E. Burns. Tickets were
sold by Misses Betty Foster, Valen
i tine Anderson, Queenie Russell and
Jane Anderson. The entertainment;
was under the direction of Doc Ehlan
I and the program was greatly en
I joyed. The prizes were selected by
Mrs. Ellenson.
M. J. Cooney assited at the door,
taking tickets. W. H. Landwehr
presided at the box office; F. H.
Flower and Alex Covney officiated
at the bar.
Presiding at the various gaming
tables were Theo Brakke, Harry
Davis, Wm. Casey, Howard P. Curtis,
I Ralph Waechter and Andy Harkeon.
The wheel of fortune was in charge
of Dr. J. R. Bowen and G. F. Cramer.
Jim Bouvard manipulated the shell
game with a deftness second only j
to the notorious Soapy Smith.

The use of the downstairs portion
of the hall was generously donated
by W. C. Gagnon, who also provided
the ladies with some very excellent
ice cream.
The lunch was served under the
efficient direction of James Fallon
and his corps of assistants.
The general arrangemnts were
supervised by Mrs. Bowen, head of
the local branch of the Red Cross.
