RAILROAD WORK
SOUTH OF TOWN
IS PROGRESSING
About Two and One-Half Miles of
Track Hat Now Been Laid on
the New D Line.
Commencing from today an extra
surfacing gang and extra night
crews for the locomotives, Lidger
wood unloader and the piledriver
will be put on and the work, as a
consequence, will move rapidly.
Hitherto the Bucyrus dragline ex
cavator had been working nights
stripping the overburden, while the
day gangs excavated the gravel for
ballasting and surfacing, as there
was no night crew to do the ballast
ing. The night crew for this work
could not have been put on because
the camp cars for their accommoda
tion were not ready.
The necessary- camp cars were
completed and sent out the line, and
; this morning a night crew for ballast
ing and surfacing were signed on
and will commence operations im
! mediately. Night crews have also
been put on the locomotives and all
1 necessary flat cars that will be used
in hauling gravel have been assem
; bled ready for immediate action.
Steel has been laid on the new
D line for a distance of two and
one-half miles from the switch and
it is expected to reach the north
bank of Fish creek sometime tonight
Piledriver No. 4, also known as the
’ track driver, has been sent out with
a day and night crew for the pur
pose of driving the piling for the
; bridge acress the creek. It is ex
' pected that this work will be com
! pleted in short order and the track
5' extended.
S I A new engineer is expected
! shortly to run on the night shift
I on locomotive 270, and Lester Sum
Jerlin, fireman'on the 270, has beer
„; promoted to engineer to complett
1 establishment. The output of grave
will be more than doubled and thf
’ locomotives and cars have a busj
time ahead.

POWER PLANT IS
10 BE SHUT OOW
FOR TWO DAYS
Repair* to Fire Box of Boiler* In
Commisiion^ Power Plant Will
Be Effected.
Announcement is made that tiie
Alaskan Engineering commission
power plant will be shut down for
the aurpose of making necessary rc
I paris to the foundatioi. of the fire
box of the boilers.
The plant will be closed at mid
night of Saturday and it is expected
that the necessary repairs that will
be undertaken will be completed to
enable the plant to be operated
again on Monday, probably in the
evening.
The two boilers in the power house
are in continuous use and, at the
present time, the Commission has
no other boiler that can be used
while the others are undergoing re
pairs, and this necessitates a com
plete shut-down of the whole plant
whenever repairs to the boilers be
come necessary.
It is hoped that adequate measures
will be taken to keep the plant
running when such repairs become
necessary in the future.
