The work of extending rails to
Iward Fairbanks, north of the Tan
ana river, is progressing steadily
'under the direction of Foreman T.
;
jK. Blakey. The steel has reached
a point about four miles north of
| the river and is moving forward at
j the rate of about a quarter of a
Imile a day, which is regarded as
j excellent progress, considering the
j fact that the steel gang are com
pelled to load their own material
and are working under other handi
caps not experienced when rails
were being laid on the main line
south of Nenana.
A little later, it is expected,
equipment now being used in con
nection with the surfacing work will
be assigned to the work of moving
steel and other material to the
front, so that the steel gang will
then be able to put in a full shift
laying rails.
The grade has been completed for
a distance of about eight miles oc
yond the present end of steel on
the Nenana-Fairbanks line which
means that the track-laving outfit
will be able to move forward as
fast as the steel can be put in
place. And by the time the end of
the eight miles has been reached,
contactors working beyond that
point probably will have finished
their work, thus insuring a working
margin of grade at all times,
j The present warm weather is
j proving a great help to the contrac
tors along Goldstream, 'where water
conditions have been extremely bad
• since the commencement of the sea
json. The ground is said to be dry
ling up rapidly now, permitting the
completion of contracts which seem
ed hopeless for a time.
I According to the present plans,
[there will not be much surfacing
jwork done on the Fairbanks line
'this summer, and when it is under
! taken it will be slow work, owing
.to the scarcity of gravel. The plan
| is to complete the track-laying as
'rapidly as possible, so as to pro
[vide the people of Fairbanks with
jthrough rail connections with Xe
jiiana during the coming winter, for
: the .transportation of coal.

OLD DRAGLINE POND
POPULAR FOR SWIMS
The old dragline pond, from
which gravel was dug last year for
the railroad, is a popular place
these warm days for the swimmers!
!of the town, fid and young. There
was a large crowd on hand last |
|night, the ages of the swimmers'
ranging from a few years to more j
than fifty, sizes from very thin to
reasonably fat, and a fairly equal
! division of sexes.
The pond, which is near the pow
der-house about a mile south of
i
town, is large enough for a con-;
siderable number, the water is not.
too cold for comfort, and there are !
a variety of depths to suit all sizes !
of swimmers.
BOYS ENJOY OUTING
ON CREEK NEAR TOWN
—
Robert Joseph Diven and eight j
of the smaller boys of the town j
spent an enjoyable day on the •
shores of Julius creek yesterday, a j
handcar being used for the trip
out and back.
The boys took their lunches along
with them and divided the day be
tween romping in the coo! waters
and casting for grayling, for which
Julius creek is renowned. Dr. Div
en says the day's fun aggregated
three swims and eleven fish. Carl
Schmidt won the honors with the
rod, but all the boys except Dr.
Diven shared equally in the number
of swims.
American soldiers who restored
their uniforms and other clothing
to the Government at the time of
their release from the army, may
recover the articles by making ap
plication to the Domestic Distribu
tion Branch, Office of the Director
of Storage, Washington, D. C.
This information is contained in
a c:rcular received on a recent mail
by Willis Nicley, and passed along
to The News for the benefit of
Alaskans who discarded their army
c’othing when they re-entered civ
ilian life. There are several former
soldiers in the Nenana district, it
is understood, who came North not
knowing that the war department
had decided to permit enlisted men,
honorably discharged, Jo retain their
clothing outfits.
Section 4 of the circular says:
“Any enlisted man who served in
the United States army during the
recent war, honorably discharged
or furloughed to the Reserve since
April 6, 1917, wffio has restored to
the Government any of the listed
articles of clothing, or to whom for
any reason they were never issued,
may make application for such arti
cles to the Domestic Distribution
Branch, Office of the Director of
Storage, Washington, D. C., where
upon similar clothing and uniform
in kind and value as near as may
be, will be returned to him. The
application wnll state the sizes re
quired and will be accompanied by
an affidavit made before any civil
or military officer authorized to ad
minister oaths, setting forth the
soldier’s record of service since
April 7, 1917; the date and place
of his discharge or furlough to the
Reserve; and certifying that - none
of the articles applied for were
retained by him at the time of his
discharge or furlough to the Re
serve; or, if retained, that they
have been restored to the Govern
ment. Officers and enlisted men
who have returned the gas mask
and helmet may make similar ap
plication for these articles, and they
will be returned if available.”
The Act of Congress approved
February 28, 1919, provides that
any person who served in the United
States army during the recent war
may wear the uniform after dis
charge, provided that it shall in
clude some distinctive mark to be
prescribed by the secretary of war.
The red chevron has been prescribed
to be worn by discharged enlisted
men as a recognition of duties per
formed in the service of the coun
try. This is now also designated
as the distinctive mark required by
the before-mentioned act and will
be worn by discharged officers and
enlisted men alike. This also ap
plies to discharged officers who ac
cept commissions in the Officers'
Reserve Corps, until called to active
duty, when the red chevron will be
removed. A chevron will be worn
point up midway between the elbow
