with equipment
The locomotive stationed out at
the front is expected to arrive in
town tonight, hauling a train com
posed of four coal cars, seven
equipment cars and the Brown hoist.
I As the nap in the line extending
i from station No. 17(341 to station
| No. 17fi44, a distance of 300 feet,
I has now been reached; and further
j tracklaying operations toward the
j coal field are not possible until this
'gap has been filled, there is no
i necessity for a locomotive to be
I stationed near the end of track.
I
All of the grading equipment,
i consisting of dump cars, light rails,
! plows, scrapers, etc., which had been
;in use along the right of way from
I near old camp 0 (20-mile) to the
I Crossing and beyond, has been
j gathered up and is being brought
| to town today for distribution along
the Nenana-Fairbanks right of way,
»preparatory to the commencement
J of aggressive construction work
'just as soon as weather conditions
| will permit. The gang of men,
I working with the Brown hoist, un
jder Foreman Fred Douse, will also
come into town and will probably
be used in the preparatory work to
be done on the Nenana-Fairbanks
i line.
; The bridge crew under Foreman
Pat King, will also come into town
on the special train.
FIFTH LOAN DRIVE
18 BE FLOATED
Governor James K. Lynch, of the
Federal Reserve Bank, has notified
the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion that supplies, consisting of
suhso. s buttons, volunteer work
er’s streamers arid copies of the
| treasury department circular de
scribing the Fifth Liberty Loan
will be shipped in shortly.
The treasury department has been
asked to forward these supplies at
‘ the earliest possible moment so
that they may reach Nenana as far
as practicable in advance of the
campaign.
Governor Lynch thinks that it is
quite probable that the particulars
of the treasury circular will not
be determined in time to ship
copies to Alaska. These particu
lars, he says, are not generally
settled until a week before the
campaign opens. He states, how
I ever, that in the event of failure
, to send the circulars, a wire giving
sufficient particulars of the loan
I for the information and guidance
; of those handling it at this end,
i will be sent.

STEEL GANG WILL
COME 10 TOWN
Until such time as the gap in
the main line south of town has
been filled, and the work of laying
steel toward the coal field can be
resumed, the men of the steel gang
under Foreman Thomas K. IJlakey
will be brought to Nenana tem
porarily.
The gap was reached yesterday
afternoon and the men of the steel
gang are now engaged in fixing up
the track from the gap toward
the Crossing.
On Wednesday the entire track
laying camp will be hooked onto the
train and brought to town, and the
: work of laying a narrow gauge
track across the Tanana river and
for some distance along the Fair
banks right of way, will be taken
in hand.
Steel will be laid on the Y so
that all the narrow gauge rolling
stock can be accommodated. After
this has been accomplished, steel
for a distance of approximately
two miles toward Fairbanks will be
laid.
Foreman James Saterwhite and
three men will remain at the Cross
ing to keep the road in good re
pair pending a resumption of track
laying operations.
FAIRBANKSANS PLAN
ON COMING TO NENANA
Jake Marks, who had a clothes
cleaning establishment in Fairbanks
which was destroyed in the recent
fire, arrived in Nenana Saturday
for the purpose of sizing up things
with a view to opening a clothes
cleaning establishment in town.
He has spotted a suitable place
for installing his business and will
probably move down here in a few
days. He left Fairbanks on the
Karstens auto this morning, but
expects to return in the course of
a few days.
It is also rumored that a bath
house, where Turkish and other
baths may be obtained, will also be
opened in Nenana in the near fu
ture; also that another sufferer
from the recent fire at Fairbanks
intends to open a candy, soft drink
anil cigar store in Nenana.
All things come to him who
waits, including poor vision—unless
he cares for his eyes in time. We
fit you with goggles—light, medium
and dark amber, 50c to $1.25—
Wiliam Taylor, jeweler.
