The boys of Fairbanks who are
directing the drive for funds for the
school gymnasium have announced
that a special drive will be made on
June 23, on which day the Festival
of the Midnight Sun will be cele
brated.
An auto parade is being arrang d
for the afternoon, to be followed by
a cabaret entertainment at the roll
er rink, or armory, as it is now
known. In the evening two teams
of Fairbanks ball players will cross
bats at the park for the benefit of
the gym, and the drive will be con
cluded with a big dance at the
armory.
The plan is to acquire the armory
building and reconstruct it on the
'school grounds for gymnasium pur
poses.

Boiler washing operations having
been concluded today, the Tanana
Valley train crew, engaged in bal
lasting work along the line south of
the steam-shovel camp, left North
Xenana this afternoon with their j
locomotive and will be ready to re-!
sume ballasting in the morning.
Ballasting operations are in prog- •
ress both north and south of the:
steam-shovel camp at Mile 432. and J
the work is moving as fast as the!
dirt can be carted over the shaky i
roadbed. One of the work trains is!
engaged at present in filling ai
j swamp at Mile 118—a bottomless
swamp, the men call it—and an-:
other is distributing dirt along the
line to the north of the shovel
1
|camp, as far as Mile 440.
The swamp at 418 is a particu
larly bad place and a large amount1
of filling material will be needed to j
give stability to the grade. The dirt
that is being used for that purpose '
seems to disappear nearly as fast as i
it is dumped from the cars. There
jare a number of other soft spots!
| between the swamp and the shovel
;camp. but none, perhaps, so greatly,
!
| in need of attention.
The dirt thus far encountered by
the steam-shovel appears to contain
very little gravel, but it is believed
that more suitable ballast will be
found farther into the cut where
the shovel is working. In fact, a
little gravel is showing up now, ac
cording to reports received in town
during the past day or two.
| The Goldstream grade appears to
be holding up better than was an
ticipated, although it is none too
(safe for traffic, and will not be un
til considerable more ballasting work
I has been done. That the road is
|passable at all is attributed to dry
Weather. Under less arid conditions,
jit is claimed, the grade would have
nun back into the ditches whence
' it came originally,
j On days when there is no trouble
along the line, upwards of 100 cars
of dirt and more are deposited in
the swamp, but derailments and oth
er accidents are keeping the av
erage down, and the work is also
handicapped by a shortable of labor
all along the line. One day recently
13 loaded cars were jolted otf the
i track.
A spur has been constructed at
(432, for the use of the commission
!sawmill, and cars are now loaded
with lumber at the mill, instead of
j requiring the use of wagons between
i the mill and the main line. The
I output of the mill is being used at
! present for the construction of the
ibig warehouse on the dock at Camp
i415. The framework of the build
ig is up and the floor in place, and
jit is expected that it will soon be
| ready for the accommodation of
(freight consigned to Fairbanks and
other points north of Xenana. A

FAIRBANKS SAYS
MANY WILL COME
WITH BAIL TEAM;
_
The people of Fairbanks are en
thusiastic over the baseball excur
sion to Nenana on the afternoon of
July third, and the indications are
that there will be a large number
of people aboard the excursion train
when it reaches North Nenana.
Definite arrangements have been
made by Manager Beam for the use
of a special train for the trip. The
only point undecided is whether the
ball team will charter the train out
right or let the commission conduct j
the excursion, charging a low-price 1
round-trip fare.
Manager Joe Fischer received a '
telegram from Managar Beam yes
terday, stating that the train would
leave Fairbanks at three o'clock on
July third. The first game with Ne- j
nana will be played on Saturday j
evening and the second on Sunday.
Both teams will leave for the upper!
town Sunday night and the third
game of the series will be played
in Fairbanks on Monday.
