WATER TROUBLES
HAMPER WORKERS
ALONG THE LINE
The rapid rise in the waters of
the Nenana river continues to cause
trouble along the right of way and
by reason of the flooded condition of
the country in the vicinity of camps
9, 15, 16, 22 and the section gangs,
and a washout on the grade between
Camps 15 and 16, about 15 miles
south of town, the work of the rail
road builders is being seriously ham
pered.
The level of the water in the
Nenana began to go up on the 25th
instant and has increased steadily;
last night it had reached to within
a small fraction of the highest water
mark registered last season, with
no indications of subsiding at pres
ent. The warm weather now pre
vailing, will, it is thought, further
add to the volume of water; and
anticipating further trouble, the
Commission officials in charge have
taken all the necessary precautions
to protect the grade and other prop
erty from possible damage. Men
have been placed at and near every
bridge, trestle and culvert to pre
vent the driftwood carried down by
the floods from accumulating and
thereby endangering these struc
tures. Portions of the finished
grade threatened by the encroaching
waters are also being closely
watched
Washout On Railroad.
The first serious setback to the
work occurred on the night of the
28th, when by the insidious action
of the flood waters, a small portion
of the grade was washed away, leav
ing the rails and ties hanging in
space. The exact location of the
washout is about half a mile south
from the dragline camp (Camp 22)
on a section of the grade which had
been cribbed up with timbers and
finished with frozen material last
fall, and although not of a serious
nature, has had the effect of
marooning locomotive No. 5 on the
j roadbed beyond Camp 15, confining
; her operations to that part of the
road beyond the gap and to within
as near the end of steel as the
floods will permit her to reach;
quite a volume of water flows with
considerable force right across the
grade at the washout. It is expected
that the damage will soon be re
paired after the waters have sub
sided some. The steel gang (Camp
16) and section crew No. 3 are
located beyond the washout.
Flood Threatens Camp
The rapidly rising water seriously
menaced the dragline camp (Camp
22) but a gang of men, hastily re
quisitioned by Foreman Blakey from
the force of the steel gang, were put
to work jacking and cribbing up the
camp cars beyond the reach of the
creeping waters, and it is believed
that the level to which the cars have
now been elevated will preclude the
possibility of the camp being flooded
out.
Lost Slough
Lost Slough now carries a very
considerable body of water and much
of the ice which had been stranded
on the bars shortly after the break
up, comes down this channel as well
as some drift. A force of men are
| constantly on duty on the big trestle
! here to prevent damage to the struc
i ture from the ice and driftwood. It
| is reported that considerabl drift is
i gathering against the dams erected
! at the head of the slough and hopes
| are entertained that the jam thus
| formed will eventually reach such
proportions as to effectually stop
1 and turn the bulk of the waters
I into the old channel of the river
; and thus carry it away from the
j grade. This slough, which has been
| the cause of much trouble to the
Alaskan Engineering commission,
crosses the grade near the camp at
20-mile, flowing under the big
: trestle and for a distance of about
! 200 yards below it into the woods
I beyond. It then sweeps around in
I a northerly direction, flowing about
parallel with the right of way,
emerging from the woods and re
crossing the grade in the neighbor
hold of old Camp 10 and joining the j
main river a little distance from the
camp. The portion , of the slough
not visible from the right of way
I has apparently overflowed its banks
releasing a large body of water
which flows through the woods ir
the direction of the grade, where i'
is turned to flow alongside until thi
lower end of the slough is reached
I into which it finally empties.
Clear Creek.
Clear creek, which crosses th<
right of way between the camp o:
i the steel crew (Camp 16) and sec
! tion gang No. 3, is apparently carry
ing a big portion of the flood water:
of Lost Slough, overflowing he
banks and flooding the surroundinj
j country. Should the waters increasi
' it may become necessary to move th<
j camp of the section gang tempor
: arily. They are, at present, usinf
the log cabins occupied by Mik<
' Gorman & Co., who graded this sec
tion of the road under contract las
l
season.
43-Mile Bridge.
I Reports received from Residencj
14 indicate that the high water ii
, the main river is bringing dowi
much ice and drift with it, and foi
a time, grave fears were entertaine<
| for the safety of the piers whicl
; will support the bridge acros:
the river at this point. The actua
damage done, however, has beei
much less than anticipated. Th<
precautions taken to prevent anc
minimize damage from floods havi
i been very satisfactory, the piers hav<
apparently stood the strain well
Six of the bents of the southeri
approach to the bridge were carriec
: away.
Communication Cut Off
All construction material and sup
plies for camps beyond Lost Slougl
have been held up temporarily, aftei
all possible means to establish com
munications across Lost Slough had
been tried and abandoned; and, as
a consequence, several contractors
with their outfits have been forced
to delay their departure from town.
JIM M’QUEEN AND BROWN
WIN THE LACE COLLARS
The two lace collars which were
raffled off at the Portland Cigar
store last evening by Mrs. Anna
Leyn, were won by Jim McQueen,
of the A. E. C. electrical force and
Jesse Brown. The lucky number
held by McQueen was 52, and Mr.
Brown won with number 20.
ADDITIONAL RECEIPTS
Treasurer C. H. Hall, of the local
Red Cross branch, reports that the
sum of $4.50 has been added to the
net receipts of the late Red Cross
drive. The sale of additional tickets
to the Sourough ball, to the amount
of $7.50 was reported this weak,
and additional bills, amounting to $3
were received, leaving a balance of
$4.50.
CALIFORNIA 10
SENDREUEF SHIP
LOS ANGELES.—Southern Cali
fornia will contribute an entire ship
load of supplies of various kinds for
the stricken sections of France. One
of the great new steel freighters re
cently launched by the United States
Shipping board will carry the cargo
and Chairman Hurley of the board
has given his sanction to the under
taking. The plan originated with
the Chamber of Commerce here.
When the great vessel was launch
ed, it was christened with a name
chosen by the constructing company;
now it is planned, with the consent
of the builders, to re-christen the
vessel “Los Angeles” so that a vessel
bearing the name of the city shall
sail its maiden voyage, an errand
of mercy, laden with the products
of the country about Los Angeles.
Every community in Southern Cal
ifornia will be invited to contribute
to the cargo, according to the local
sponsors of the move. When L. N.
Brunswig, who made arrangements
with the shipping board, returned
home, he signalized his success by
donating $1,000 to the cargo fund;
Harry Chandler, of the Los Angeles
Times, and Oscar C. Mueller made
like pledges, and with these sums as
a necleus the committee in charge
was confident that it soon would
have an adequate carge in readiness.
This is the second relief ship to
be loaded by Californians, the Cam
ino haivng sailed with a full cargo
of relief supplies for Belgium in
1914, *
