MAKING TRIP 10
ARRANGE PLANS
Train Leaving This Morning Took
Seve-al Heads of Departments
Out of Town.
On the train leaving for the end
of steel this morning officials of
the Alaskan Engineering commission
departed on inspection and other dut
ies that call them forth periodically.
Superintendent of Construction W. L.
Packer goes out to inspect the right
of way and look into conditions gen
erally with a view to the commence
ment of aggressive railroad work
for the season. The result of his
inspection and observations while on
this trip will be the chief factor in
determining when the tracklaying
and surfacing gangs will be put to
work. It is freely predicted, by
those who claim to be familiar with
conditions in the North, that he will
find that the warm weather recently
experienced will have made drain
age under the ice possible, in which
event the long cherished hopes of
the majority of Nenanaites will be
realized and the gangs put on
once. Mr. Packer’s decision will be
awaited with great interest.
Superintendent of Transportation
W. B. Reaburn goes out on a tour
of general inspection of stock, cor
[ rals, equipment and trail conditions,
and will decide on the advisability of
changing the vehicles used for
freighting, from sleds to wagons if
such a change is deemed necessary
immediately, in view of the rapidly
breaking trails. It may also be
J found necessary to change existing
routes to the distant camps of the
Commission, owing to open water
being reported as appearing in places
on the Nenana river in close prox
imity to the trail followed heretofore.
In all probability the trail on the
ice will be abandoned in favor of
those with a more stable foundation
on terra firma.
Resident Engineer George B. Rich
ardson, in charge of Residency 3
(35-mile) returns to his station after
several months spent in town, where
he worked in the drafting room at
I the headquarters office. The date
I of his return to town is shrouded
j in uncertainty, there being many
j matters needing his personal atten
tion on the residency.
Chief Steward Grady Summerlin
goes out to inspect the messhouses
along the line and to make arrange
ments for messhouse service for the
new camps that will be established
in the near future, when active con
struction work on the road is com
menced. He is accompanied by
Jimmy Fallon, who will probably
succeed him, later on. Jimmy makes
this trip for the purpose of “learn
ing the ropes” and to fit himself for
handling the job right when he
gets it.
Mri. J. R. Bowen Elected to Succeed
Mrs. M. S. Love As Head of
Local Branch.
At a largely attended meeeting of
local Red Cross workers, held at
Grace church last evening, new offi
cers were chosen for the ensuing
year, and a program of work out
lined which gives promise of much
activity during the coming summer
and winter. Both the town and the
commission were well represented at
the meeting, the attendance being
much above the average. Nearly
seventy votes were cast.
There were two candidates nomi
nated for the presidency, but the
other two officers were chosen un
animously. Mrs. J. R. Bowen was
elected president by a narrow mar
gin, to succeed Mrs. M. S. Love, who
will leave for the Outside on one of
the first boats. Mrp. Robert Joseph
Diven was the unanimous choice of
the meeting for secretary and C. H.
Hall was named treasurer of the
organisation, without opposition.
id CROSS CAKE
NETS LARGE SOM
FOR GOOD CAUSE
Mo'e Than One Hundred Dollar*
Added to Receipt* A* Result
of Nenana Raffle.
|
The Martha Washington cake,
made by Mrs. Fred Howard, of
| Woodchopper and forwarded to Mrs.
'Fenton Cramer, of this city, to be
I raffled for Red Cross purposes, was
| raffled at the Military bail on Sat
| urday evening.
Chances to the number of 346
i were sold in Nenana by the school
(children and business houses, and at
I the dance, when the mission of the
I cake was announced by Dr. M. E.
'Smith, there was a mad rush lor
I tickets at twenty-fivq cents each,
\ after which the raffle took place,
' the winning number being drawn by
l Mr. Frank Teufle.
The cakte was then auctioned
i twice by Dr. Smith, the first sale be
! ing made to Mrs. M. E. Smith for
i $30, and the second to Mr. Andy
Hoey, making a total of 114.
| In accordance with instructions
: forwarded with the cake, it will be
| sent from Nenana to Fairbanks at
i the earliest opportunity and from
Fairbanks it will go to France, for
j the Alaskan boys in the ranks.

WING DAM READY
! AT LOST SLOUGH
| TO TURN WATER
i -
Last Set of Piles We'e Completed
Last Night On the Important
Structure.
i The finishing touches have been
put on to the big wing dam at the
head of Lost Slough, the last set of
piles being driven Sunday night, and
no fears hre entertained of a re
occurrence of the flooods experienc
1 ed last season from this source, as
this dam with the other flood pro
tection works completed in the neigh
borhood of Camp 9 (20-mile) is ex
pected to effectively check the en
croachments of the river in the di
dection of the right of way. In ad
dition to the series of dams erected,
a channel also has been prepared
and will carry away a large volume
of water, relieving the pressure to
' a great extent on the dam at the
head of Lost Slough. From the
mouth of this new channel to an
island some distance away a dam has
been constructed with piles of brush
and gravel which will divert a large
part of the waters that ordinarily
.would go to form Lost Slough.
The piledriver crew are now en
gaged in taking down the driver,
making some minor repairs, and giv
ing the machine a thorough over
hauling preparatory to shipping it to
Residency 3 (35-mile) where it will
• be used to drive piling for the pro
i tection of the bank near a section
of the grade recently completed
under contract by Messrs W. J. Lynn
and George Gotto & Co.
Owing to the rapidly breaking trail
the work of reparing the piledriver
will be rushed, so that it can be
moved to the new position as soon
1 as possible.
