FIRS! SHIPMENT
OF LIGNITE COAL
NOW A1_ 20-MILE
The first shipment of Lignite coal
for storage at the bunker built for
this purpose at 20-mile station, ar
rived there yesterday evening. An
other small shipment reached Resi
dency 3 (35 mile) last night, and
will be brought to 20-mile today.
It is the intention of the Commis
sion officials to have one hundred
tons of this fuel brought to Camp 9
(20-mile) and stored in the bunker
at 20-mile station for the use of
the locomotives operating in this
neighborhood when the construction
work is in full swing; but, whether
they will be able to have the whole
of this quantity hauled, is proble
matical, owing to the very unreliable
j trail conditions.
| From the bunker at Residency 4
! (43-mile) where the coal is loaded
on the sleds, the trail is on the
grade for a distance of about three
miles, and this stretch of road, be
ing absolutely devoid of any snow,
renders the passage of the very
lightly loaded sleds an extremely
difficult one. It is entirely prob
able that a few wagons will be sent
to Residency 4 shortly, to be used
in hauling the coal over this piece
of road, transferring the loads to
the sleds as soon the the regular
trail has been reached.
From about one mile above old
Camp 14, to the corral at Residency
3 (35-mile) and for some distance
beyond, the river bed is in use for
freighting on. This route may not
be feasible for very long, as, the
warm days now experienced, will
probably hasten the breakup and
otherwise render freighting on the
river ice unsafe. Every precaution
is being taken, however, with a view
to preventing any accidents; and
men are constantly on the watch to
keep the teams off the ice at the
slightest sign of danger.
The road in use, before it became
possible to utilize the river bed for
freighting on, ran for several miles
on the grade, alongside of the heavy
cuts commencing immediately beyond
the store at 35-mile. In addition
to the vast accumulation of snow, n
few small landslides have occurred
on this section of the grade recently,
due to the thaw, and it will take
some time and labor to put it in
shape for freighting on again.
Light loads only are possible now,
all the way from Camp 9 (20-mile)
to the more distant camps; and
where teams, under normal condi
tions, took loads ranging from 7500
to 8000 pounds, a load of from
2500 to 3000 pounds is now handled
with difficulty.

wearing the uniform of the United
States army be given the freedom
of the club rooms at all times.
This is in line with action already
taken by the Nenana Labor union,
that organization several days ago
having voted to give the boys in
khaki the free use of the Union
club rooms and • to consider them
as guests of the union at all enter
tainments given at Union hall.
Sergeant Smith and the members
of his squad, who came from Fort
Gibbon several weeks ago to guard
the property of the government,
have conducted themselves in a
manner amply justifying any cour
tesies that may be extended to them
by the people of Nenana.

BE ATTACHED 10
Men Who Go From Nenana and
Other Interior Towni Are
Arranged For.
The men who go to Fort Gibbon
from Nenana and other Interior
towns, to begin training for active
service, will be taken into the ranks
of the company of enlisted men
1 now stationed there, according to
Sergeant Smith. Captain Twaddle,
commanding officer at Fort Gibbon,
has advised Sergeant Smith that the
! strength of the company, which is
now about eighty men, will be in
creased to 250 men, to accomodate
| the registrants.
The registrants, who are now be
i ing instructed by Sergeant Smith,
, will take their wooden rifles with
them to Gibbon, for use during pre
liminary instruction, until such time
as they can be supplied with regular
equipment.
j Class A registrants, who pass the
physical examinations to be given
1 them by Dr. Malcolm E. Smith
within the next few days, will be
sent to Gibbon during the latter part
I of June. Notices already have been
| sent out by the local exemption
1 board, advising registrancts to pre
sent themselves for examination.
I As the result of the thorough
: manner in which Sergeant Smith
1 is drilling the men, they will reach
1 Fort Gibbon well fitted to enter the
! army and later instruction will come
j easy to them. In order to devote
' more of his time to the instruction
l of registrants, Sergeant Smith has
appointed Privates Fury and Songer
as acting non-commissioned officers,
| in order that they might relieve
‘him of some of the responsibilities
; in connection with guarding the
; government reserve. This action
has been approved by the com
; manding officer at Fort Gibbon,
j who recognizes the importance of
j preparing the registrants for active
service.
The instructions received by Ser
geant Smith, with regard to the pre
parations of registrants for induc
tion into the Fort Gibbon company,
were contained in the following
! wire, received from Captain Twaddle:
• Fort Gibbon, Alaska, Apr. 9, 1918
From Commanding Officer
! To Sergeant Lewis Smith, Company
B, 14th Infantry, Nenana, Alaska.
“Company B will be recruited up
to 250 strength on June 30, 1918
with the Alaska draft men of Class
A. Have them take advantage of
all military training and they will
; see when they arrive here what
| they have obtained. Your action
j in attending to these matters is very
j commendable. Also have them bring
j their improvised rifles with them
! as they will come in handy in our
! preliminary instructons. Your ac
j ton in making temporary appoint
ments of acting non-commissioned
officers in the detachment, to en
able you to give more time to the
drilling of Nenana registrants, is
approved.
“HARRY L. TWADDLE,
“Commanding, Fort Gibbon.”
