Editor W. F. Thompson, who
went to Anchorage several days ago
in the interests of the Golden Spike
edition of the Fairbanks Xews-Min
er, wired from the coast this week
that several members of the legis

first train. The waiting list also
included Mrs. Charles Beam and
Henry Wagner.
The fire department was called to
the Moody home on Tuesday even
ing to extinguish a threatening
grass fire.
Fairbanks is threatened with in
undation. Continued warm weather
has transformed the placid Chena
slough into a swollen torrent which
has already reached the flood stage
and threatens soon to submerge a
large par: of the city. A rise of
13 inches during the 1st 24 hours
has brought the water almost to
the level of Front street. The dock
in front of the N. C. block is un
der water now and water is flow
ing backwards through the street
drains and flooding Fourth avenue
in the vicinity of Cushman, which is
considerably lower than Front street
The flooded areas at the upper end
of town and in the vicinity of the
! shipyards, are widening steadily,
| with many residents already forced
from their homes and others prepar
; ing to vacate.
One report received in town states
! that the freshet is subsiding at the
] headwaters of the Chena river, but
i another report says the waters of
! the Tanana are now coming into the
! slough at t)ie head of the island,
adding to the menace.
It is also reported that much snow
j still remains in the hills with all
j of the flats covered with water.

John H. Kelly, who went to Xe
nana several days ago will spend a
| considerable part of the summer
i on the Yukon river in the interests
of the old X. C. Company. It is
i possible he will cover the entire riv
i er from St. Michael to Dawson.
H. A. Moore is a recent arrival
in town from Anchorage.
It is reported the Alaskan Engin
1 eering Commission will open up a
.mess for the accomodation of the
many railroad workers who will be
j employed this summer on the Fair
| banks end of the railroad.
A severe earthquake was felt in
Fairbanks at 10:21 Tuesday night.
The shock was tr.e most disturbing
experienced here in a number ‘of
years.
The work of laying the new track
north of Happy had progressed one
mile up to last night but it is fear
ed further progress will be delayed
by high water in that section.
John Wahlgren is a recent arri
val in town from Nenana. He plans
to return to the railroad town to
morrow.
Leonard G. Peck, enterprizing
sheet metal worker, has blossomed
out with a new Ford. It is said two
more carloads of autos are enroute
to Faribanks. Everybody is doing it.
The Garden Island depot plans
; are still somewhat up in the air, no
I agreement having been reached as
| yet between the people of Fairbanks
and Garden Island property owners.
Preparations are being made for
the departure of the distict court
party for Ruby, it being the inten
tion to leave Fairbanks this week,
: if possible.
Rail communication with the
I
creeks, which was interrupted by
! high water in Goldstream valley,
was resumed today with the de
parture of the regular train this
morning. Among those leaving were
A1 Crosslett, J. H. Groves, Joe
i Murphy, Arnold Xordale, Gerald
; Protzman, Charles Holkey, I_ C.
Hess and J. H. Morgan.
Clarence Crites is a visitor in
town from the Fairbanks creek
quartz belt. He reports having had
a hard trip to town owing to the
quantity of soft snow on the hill#
and the water in the valley.
The railroad bridge at Deadman
slough has been finished and com
munication has been resumed be
tween Fairbanks and Happy.
Angelina Jussa was granted a di
vorce this week by District Judge
Clegg from Emilo Jussa.
The Cynical Bachelor observes [ LT. S. Marshal G. B. Stevens, who
that inasmuch as marriage is a tie arrived from the coast last week,
i it seems quite natural that a matri- made the trip to Fairbanks from
■ monial alliance should have a string Xenana on a freight train on Tue<
to it. I day.

TRAIN DELAYED BY SLIDE
RAILWAY HAVING TROUBLE
The regular train scheduled to
reach Xenana from the coast Tues-1
day afternoon was delayed by a
snowslide a short distance out of
Seward, two days having been re
quired to clear the track. The train
left Sewarch yesterday morning and
should reach Xenana on schedule
time. 5:15 this afternoon.
F. A. Hansen, superintendent
maintenance and construction who
was in Xenana this week, reported
that the slide was one of the big
gest ones recorded on theAlaska
Railroad. Comparatively little delay
resulted, however, as the railroad
organization was prepared for the
emergency and lost no time in at
tacking the great obstruction with
adequate equipment and men.
Mr. Hansen also reports consid
erable trouble at Healy, where more
than a dozen bents have been wash
ed from beneath the coal spur
bridge, effectually blocking traffic
over the branch line to Suntrana.
It was hoped that the work of re
pairing the bridge could be taken
in hand immediately, but Mr. Han
sen noted a number of ice gorges in
the river above the bridge and con
sidered it inadvisable to attempt
the repair work until ail of the ice
had gone out. He estimates that it

w
may be two or three weeks before
the bridge will be in use again. Mr.
Hansen says it will be necessary
eventually to erect a steel bridge at
that point, to insure uninterrupted
communication with the Suntrana
mine, and he has already recom
mended that such a structure be
placed there.
Some little delay in handling
freight also has occurred in Nena
na lately through unwillingness of
laborers to do the work, which they
liken to longshoring, at the pre
vailing railroad wage.

States commissioner in the Chande

try, and well known in the early
days as a resident of Nome, is now
