STEEL NEARING
UAJROSSM
The end of steel, yesterday even-j
ing had reached station N'o. 17957,
j which is nearly a mile beyond Moose
creek siding; 2200 feet of track
having been laid by the men of the
steel gang under the supervision
| of Foreman Thomas K. Blakey, for
j the day.
The very mild weather now be
ing experienced has greatly assisted
in the construction operations on
the line, and if the weather con
tinues the same, it is predicted
that Nenana Crossing 143-mile)
will be reached by next Sunday.
There only remains a distance of
about four miles more to be covered
by the steel before the crossing is
reached, and the rate of progress
being made would more than war
rant the prediction.

EXCURSION PARTY
m NICE I RIP
! 10 END OF STEEL
j On the invitation of Mrs. Fred
! erick D. Browne, a large party of
j Nenanaites went out to the end of
steel yesterday morning, returning
' to town on the evening’s train,
after having had a most enjoyable
! time.
, Those journeying on the train
j which left the Nenana yards at 8
i o’clock yesterday morning were:
, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Gilcher, Mr.
I and Mrs. M. V. Tyler, Dr and Mrs.
R. R. Myers, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. |
Scott, Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Me-'
Donald, Mrs. R. G. Southworth,
Mrs. Larry O’Keefe, Mrs. M. J.
j Cooney, Mrs. O’Bryan, Mrs. J. R.
Bowen, Mr. Herman Rosburg, Mr. 1
and Mrs. Frederick D. Browne and i
Mr. VV. L. Packer.
The journey was made in the
Alaskan Engineering commission’s
combir-Hon baggage car and ca-j
boose, which is comfortably fitted
for limited passenger traffic, and ■
the scenery enroute was greatly en-'
joyed, especially by those of the
party who were making the trip
on the government railroad for the
first time.
A brief stop was made at Billy |
Lynn’s coal mine, about 29 miles i
out from town, and the party had j
an opportunity of seeing the oper- j
ations at the coal mine and the
loading up of the bunkers at the
mine pit.
Resuming the journey from the
coal mine, the siding at Moose creek
was reached at about half past
twelve in the afternoon. The track
camp is located at Moose creek
siding, and the party enjoyed a
sumptuous repast in the dining cars
of the track camp The camp chef
had evidently excelled himself in
getting up the dinner and those who
were privileged to partake of the
spread are loud in their praise of it.
Shortly after lunch, Mrs. Browne’s
guests boarded the train once more
and were taken to the rear of the
work train out at the front, and
walking a short distance ahead of
the work train, were enabled to ob
serve the actual tracklaying oper
ations. Superintendent Packer ex
■plained—the various phases of this -
part of the construction work and
the party were interested onlookers
for quite a while.
The return journey was com
menced at about two o’clock. The
interior of the comfortable caboose I
was turned into a regular Casino,
hastily improvised card tables made
of empty packing cases, were in
stalled and bridge was indulged in.
Those who were unable to play at
bridge amused themselves in various
other ways and a very jolly time
was spent by all. The home run
was made in good tVie, without any
stops; the train reaching the yards
about six o”clock.
SOME BUSINESS
LONDON.—^Chiropody is a pay
ing business in the West end of
London. This was disclosed at a
tribunal the other day when a
chiropodist revealed the fact that
he had 180 annual subscribers who
paid about £29,000 a year.

The quarantine ban against Fair
banks, established some time ago
by the people of Nenana, has now
been lifted at the request of the
majority of Nenanaites, and travel
between Fairbanks and Nenana, un
der certain conditions which can
easily be complied with, has now
been made possible.
Advices received from the coast
towns recently by the Board of
Health, indicating that the disease
had been practically stamped out
and that the danger of its spreading
to the Interior was infinitesimal,
was deemed sufficient cause by that
body for the modification at least,
j of the quarantine measures. The
i Board of Health also understood
that a majority of Nenanaites fav
ored the lifting of the quarantine
between Nenana and Fairbanks,
and in view of the fact that the
quarantine was instituted, in the
first instance at the request of the
people of Nenana, a mass meeting
j was called to ascertain the wishes
of the people in the matter.
An erroneous impression seems
to be entertained to the effect
that the quarantine was established
by F. D. Browne, as head of the
Alaskan Engineering commission.
This is not so. Legal authority
for the establishment of a quaran
tine is vested in the Board of Health
alone, and the quarantine was es
tablished at the instance of the j
Board of Health and at the express;
wishes of the people of Nenana; Mr. j
Browne taking an active part and;
acting as chairman of the various;
mass and other meetings at the re
quest of prominent Nenanaites. j
The measures taken also had his
strong support as head of the Alas
kan Engineering commission for
this division, which also bore more
more than half the expense of main-;
taining and all of the expenses of
establishing the various camps for
the quarantine.
The mass meeting was held at the
Coliseum immediately after the pic
ture show Saturday night. The
lacge attendance at the show was!
augmented considerably by others
arriving at the end of the show
to attend the meeting, which in con- j
sequence, was a representative one. j
F. D. Browne again presided at j
the meeting, being supported on the
dais by Dr. David More. Mr.
Browne briefly addressed the gath-|
ering and explained the purpose of
the meeting. He said that as the
people themselves had instituted the ■
quarantine measures, it was now upI
to them to say whether or not the :
stringent.rules laid down are to be
relaxed. He said that insofar as he •
was concerned, he was in favor of i1
lifting the quarantine against Fair-j1
banks provided the Board of Health 1
and the people of Nenana sane-'1
tioned such a move. All reports j'
coming in, he said, indicated an! 1
abatement of the disease on the j'
Alaskan coast, and that the danger!
would not appear to be so imminenti
as at first, when, in response to j
the wishes of the people, the quar
antine was established.
He stated that Townsite Man
ager Joseph, who is also secretary
of the Board of Health, made a
special trip to Fairbanks and had
had several conferences with the
health officials of the upper town.
Mr. Joseph also went very thor
oughly into the question of the quar
antine established by the Fairbanks
authorities against the coast, and in
a lengthy communication unhesi
tatingly recommended the abandon
ment of the quarantine against
Fairbanks.
Dr. David More, on being called
upon by Mr. Browne to state his
Views and define his recommenda
tions^ regarding thelifting of—the
quarantine, said that in view of
influenza conditions on the coast
at present, he would recommend
the lifting of the quarantine be
tween Nenana and Fairbanks on
condition that people coming to Ne
nana from Fairbanks will provide
themselves with a certificate from
the Fairbanks health officer, stating
that the holder is in good Tiealth;
but he said he could not conscieO'

tiously recommend any modification |
of the measures taken against An- i
chorage on the Broad Pass trail, and
the mission.
He told of a conference he had
with Dr. Sutherland over the phone!
and of being informed that nobody j
is allowed to leave the Second |
division; the boys discharged from:
the army at St. Michael and now
on their way to Xenana, will not be
allowed to come in, he said. The i
danger from this source, he said,
did not exist, but nevertheless, the,
strict watch kept on possible ar-1
rivals from the lower river and
from the coast via the Broad Pass
trail, and the quarantine against
the native village and the mission,
must be continued until all danger
had passed.
The question of raising the quar
antine against Fairbanks was first
put to the people; a vote of ayes
and nays indicating that consider-,
able opposition still existed, a rising
vote was taken; and it being ascer
tained that the majority were in
favor of the measure, the quaran
tine against Fairbanks was duly
lifted and travel will be allowed
subject to the conditions indicated
before.
It bemg the will of the people
that the quarantine against the 1
mission and the lower river and on •
the Broad Pass trail should remain j
in full force until such tme as all
ianger is over, it was so ordered
»nd the meeting came to an end.
