SUS1TNA RIVER SAND
WORRIES COMMISSION
ANCHORAGE. — Soundings for
the proposed government railroad
bridge across the Susitna river, 150
miles north of Anchorage disclose
a geologic formation that worries
construction engineers. Extremely
fine sand, in which are mixed large
boulders, constitute the bed of the
stream, and at a depth of thirty
feet the sounding drill has not yet
reached bedrock.
The boulders refuse to resist the
drill. Instead, when they are touch
ed by it they sink into the loose
sand.
The Seward Gateway says that
six airplanes will be sfktioned at
that town when the government
establishes their airplane base there.
It pays to have the collars and
cuffs turned on old shirts. It pays
to have a good old hat scoured
and blocked. It pays to make a
round-up of your old coats and
suits, when you take them to

FISHERMEN ARE
GEIT.N8 READY
10 UPEN SEASON
Prompted by the signs every
where of the early coming of spring,
with the excellent hunting and fish
ing obtainable within a very few
miles of Nenana, a small party of
ardent Waltonites went out on the
abandoned railroad grade yesterday
morning for the purpose of making
j foot bridges across Pish and Julius
! creeks. Fish creek is a trifle over
'three miles from town, and Julius
J creek is about a mile farther south
i from Fish creek.
The railroad bridges spanning
| these streams had recently been dis
] mantled by the salvaging gang,
| leaving only the piling standing.
! The bents of piling are twelve feet
: apart, and the party cut poles from
the nearby woods, which they work
ed and spiked down on the piles,
adding a guard rail on one side of
leach bridge so spanned. The Xe
inana Rod and Gun club, which un
I doubtediy will soon be organized,
will be indebted to this party for
two very serviceable foot bridges,
where railroad bridges Nos. 7 ar.d 5
; used to be, which will enable them
j to reach splendid fishing and hunt
ing grounds, when the season open?
The journey to the scene of ac
tion was commenced about ten
| o'clock yesterday morning, one of
'the handcars of the A. E. C., kindly
I loaned by the officials in charge,
being used.
A flying- start was made by the
fishermen, but unfortunately, they
,ra n through an open switch ar.d
| sustained a spill. They qu; k.'y
, righted themselves and went thru
except Andy Harkeom. who was
’considerably shaken as a result of
the spill. The handcar was g ing
at a good rate of speed, those on
board pumping away as on v en
thusiastic fishermen can, when the
open switch was struck.
The party was coran -jed i f
i William Juliar, Melville Ccncy,
George Markus, Peter Grandison
and M. A. Schaeffer, the handcar
being piloted by Martin Gilman,
jwho is himself an enthusiastic fish
erman and hunter. Everybody
worked hard and with a will, and
the work the men of the party had
set forth to do was accomplished
to their entire satisfaction by four
o’clock the same afternoon.
Surprising dexterity with the axe
and the other tools us> d in the
construction of the foot bridges was
displayed by members of the ex
pedition, some of whom were not
even suspected of being able to
handle an axe in the approved
manner.
j The surpise of the day came when
; George Markus, with consummate
| skill and using an ordinary axe,
hewed a ten-inch face on a twenty
, four foot log, which -was used as
| a foot log across Julius creek.
Everybody worked hard and with a
‘will in felling. lopping, spiking, hew
ing. etc., and the result achieved
> concrete evidence that the party
, was “there.”
R. S. McDonald, at whose in
i stance this movement was started,
and who is one of the most en
thusiastic fishermen in the Tanana
valley, could not get away. He
however contributed the spikes used
in the construction of the foot
bridges. *
j Julius creek teems with greyling
and the breakup occurs in this
! stream very much earlier in the
J season than on the N’enana river,
wvhich is known to break early. It
is a clear water stream and the
fish can be plainly seen from the
i hanks. Members of the party which
built the bridges state that there
are already signs of breakup, and
on facetious Waltonite stated that
while at work on the Julius bridge
j he plainly heard the fish making
funny cracks.
Fish creek still remains to be
bridged Bridge No. 6, spanning it
being dismantled today. It is con
fidently expected that those who
| could not get away yesterday will
! go out next Sunday and build a foot
bridge across this creek. There
