Mrs. A. C. Ellenson, former file
clerk and secretary to the engineer
in charge of this division of the
A. E. C., in a letter to friends in
Nenana, tells interestingly of her
trip over the Broad Pass trail.
Mr. and Mrs. Ellenson, Mrs. Van
Orsdel and A. J. Hewitt left Ne
nana on the same day, the three
former traveling with the Cooney
stage line, while Hewitt went with
Charlie Smith’s dog team.
The lettter is dated Talkeetna,
February 10, and in part is as
follows:
“We had a perfectly wonderful
trip—that is Mrs. and and I—did
not walk a step and were not tipped
over once, and made Talkeetna
from the end of steel on the other
end in just hours’ traveling
time, which 1 believe is the record
to date. We did not arrive in Tal
keetna until Saturday afternoon,
hut our longest day on the trail
was eight hours, and most of the
days we were riding three and a
half or four hours.
“Besides making a record trip for
time, our driver brought us through
the Nenana Canyon, and we were
told that we were the first white
women who have ever been through
there. Incidentally, we are the only
ones out of the present crowd who
came that way. It was a wonderful
trip that first day, and our only
regret was that we did not have our
camera with us. Our driver says
he would not go through there again
for $500, but we enjoyed it, not
withstanding we had a few nervous
thrilis at some of the places we
had to cross.
“Arthur and Cooney did not make
quite such good time, and Arthur
rode the handle bars part of the
way, hut is very enthusiastii^about
his t
“Smith almost killed Hewitt the
first day out; ran into some kind
of a loose snag, which flew up and
hit Hewitt in the stomach and tore
his parka, but after the first night
Hewitt seemed no worse for wear.
The second day Smith got into some
deep overflows (deep means a foot
or so) just before he got to the
Jack river roadhouse, but for
tunately for Hewitt the sled foated
and the dogs could swim; Smith was
not quite so fortunate and got
somewhat damp. Cooney and Ar
thur also got a little damp, as did
also our suitcases, which they had,
but Mrs. an and I were again
favored, as our driver found a nice
shallow place to cross and we rode
serenely across, none the less com
fortable.
I “At the hotel, just before dinner,
j someone remarked that most of Ne
, liana seemed to be in Talkeetna.
! The lobby was full and all but two
or three were from the other side,
i Ethel Bennett arrived this after
: noon, and Dick Morris just blew in
! about 0 p. m. He made the trip
J from the end of steel to here in five
I days and didn’t even seem to be
i out of breath.
“Mr. Fitzwater arrived yesterday
—he stayed behind the first day to
keep away from the crowd at the
I roadhouses; we were several deep
at some places, and there were al
ways beds on the floor. Mrs. Van
and I were both grateful for out
gender for once in our lives; al
though, frankly, I don’t believe the
men were. (?)”
The sun on longer days will makf
you feel like throwing away youi
old hat and suit. Certainly those
old spots do not improve your ap
pearance, but fo*- a trifling sum you
can have them pressed, mended and
cleaned at Mrs. D’Orsay’s Tailoi
Shop, Third and A streets.

TANANA RIVER I
At about 11 o’clock this morn-! •
ing the big narrow gauge loco- < •
motive, No. 151, towed by the little' w
locomotive No. 6, crossed the Tan-; .
ana river safely on the ice and is
now resting in the partly finished *
roundhouse near camp 415, on the J
Nenana-Fairbanks right of way. i
She will be used in active construe- }
tion work in the spring. j j
A temporary track had been laid }
connecting the railroad on the river \
ice with the main line and up to J
the old roundhouse. Dinky engine J
No. fi came up this track hooked J
onto the big locomotive and took ’
her across the river. The big loco- J
motive was lightened as much as •
possible; her boiler was empty and (•
all extra gearing was removed to •'
lighten her.
The other small locomotive, the ■
passenger coach, box cars and dump •
cars will aalso be sent over
A third rail which had been laid ■
I ;
along the permanent track in the ;
yard for the accommodation of the •
151 in her passage to the river ■
bank, will be taken up immediately.;!
In honor of the birthday of
George Washington, the father of

suspension of such activities on the
government railroad as will not
interfere with the construction pro

The steel gang and the freighters
will probably continue, but only
such work as is deemed necessary,
will be undertaken in the shops and
yards.

this morning from the office of ■
