BIG CELEBRATION
IS PLANNED FOR
4TH OF FOLK
Everybody Working Overtime To
Make Celebration of Fourth
Biggest Success.
In order to insure the greatest
possible measure of success for the
celebration planned for the Fourth
of July, the various committees are
making every effoirt to perfect the
arrangements for putting on the
events decided upon so far.
Everything depends now upon the
support of the business houses in
this town, who will benefit most as
a result of the celebration. The
program of events that has been
arranged for is an elaborate one and
such as would satisfy even the most
fastidious. It will also be largely
advertised and inducements offered
in order to attract the people of i
Fairbanks and adjacent creek settle
ments, as well as the people of
other towns in the Fourth division.
The Nenana Athletic association
is now perfecting arrangements for
getting the use of the school house
grounds and will put it in shape
for the ball games. Besides the
series of games that will be played
with Fairbanks, it is reported that
the boys of Company B have a
strong aggregation that will be hard
to beat.
The program will fje announced
later on and it behooves all true
Nenanaites to dig in and help to
make the celebration the greatest
success ever.
! The business houses of the town
i will shortly be called upon to aid in
this worthy cause and those of the
business fraternity who may be un
able to help are kindly requested to j
communicate with the Fourth of j
IJuly celebration committee by mail. |

THE PORTLAND
A Large Part of Water* of Lost
Slough Is Now Turned Into
the Main River.
Reports received from out the
line are to the effect that with the
receding of the recent flood waters
to some extent, the jam formed at
the head of Lost Slough by the
driftwood and other impedimenta
would appear to be quite effective
and that a large portion of the
waters that hitherto flowed down
the channel across the grade is now
finding its way into the old channel
in the main river.
It is stated that if the water goes
down a little lower and remains at
that level for any considerable time,
it may be possible to put in a dam
to support the present pile of drift
formed at the head of the Slough
and thereby reduce to a large ex-j
tent, the volume of water that flows
in the channel across the right of
way.
Reports also indicate that the re-;
ceeding water has disclosed the fact
that the two dams constructed at
the head of Lost Slough had been
carried away almost entirely. All
that remained of these flood pro
tection works appear to be a few!
of the piles about in the center j
of the south dam.
Driftwood and gravel appears to
have found lodgment against these
remaining piles and to have been
added to steadily until it has reach
ed such proportions as to have been
able to turn to the old channel a
considerable volume of water that
would otherwise have flowed in the
channel cut across the right of way.
The damage done to the big 1300
foot trestle has been Considerable
Reports received at the commence
ment of the floods indicated that
some of the bents had been under
mined and pushed out of alignment
and that one bent only had been
carried away, but it now is reported
by arrivals in town from that sec
tion of the country that about six
bents in the middle of the structure
have gone out.
It is not known definitely whether
the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion intend to repair the structure,
but it is considered probable that in
view of the fact that the bridge
here will not be used for some time
to come at least, the repairs will
not be undertaken until within a |
reasonable time of the actual laying
of steel across Lost Slough.
The steel has been laid to within ,
a thousand yards of the bridge, but
it cannot be put in use for hauling
on until the grade for a considerable !
distance has been fixed and the!
track ballasted.
