10 HEED RULES
Well Known Alien Enemy Though
He Had "Slipped One Over)
On Uncle Sam.
Herman Kessler, a prospector \vh<
has made his home in the hills be
yound 35-mile for some time past
has been placed under arrest by th«
federal authorities and is now en
route to town, in the custody o:
Deputy Marshal Ed New. The ar
rest was made out the line, soutl
of Nenana, several days ago, by au
thority of a presidential warrant,
secured through the office of th<
attorney general of the Unite<

Kessler is a German alien enemy
and one of the charges against hin

registration regulations. He regis
tered, but not until several days afte:
the period of registration had closed
and in getting his name on the list
he resorted to deception claiminf
at the postoffice that he had beer
given permission by the marshal’;
office to register late. After reg
istering, he is said to have boastec
that he had ‘put one over’ on th«
government.
Kessler will not be tried. Undei
authority vested in the presidents
warrant, he will be interned immedi
ately upon his arrival here, and senl
to the Fairbanks jail for confine
ment until the end of the war. He
will be taken to the upper town b>

SOUIH OF TOWN
As Season Advances, More Men Will
Be Added to the Construction
Crews.
' Aggressive railroad constructior
work may be said to have been com
' menced in earnest for the season
and, although all of the men that th<
■] Alaskan Engineering commission in
• tend to employ have not yet beer
1 put on the strength of the force
' much of the preparatory work ha:
’ already been accomplsihed.
About two miles of the track laic
' toward the close of last season ha<
been imbedded in the ice former
’ by the flood waters of Lost Slough
j in some places to a depth of abou
j four feet. Tire difficulty encoun
| tered in draining this section of thi
j right of way held back the com
■ mencement of active work for i
long time. Among the first worl
undertaken by the force of men sen’
out was to cut two big ditches ir
the ice diagonally across the tract
with a space of about one hundred
| feet between each ditch, these being!
i joined on to a larger ditch running
parallel with the grade and leading
on to Clear creek. That the result
of this operation was highly success
ful was evidenced by the large vol
ume of water that now flows steadily
along the prepared ditches to swell
the waters of Clear creek.
About 2000 feet of the encumber
ing ice has now been removed and
the rails laid bare allowing the work
trains to take the crews to the
point where their work begins daily.
Very steady and satisfactory pro
gress is reported and it is confi
dently expected that actual track
laying towards Nenana Crossing will
soon be taken in hand. The force
will be very considerably added ^te
in the near future and railroad
building rushed at top speed, even,
advantage being taken of the brighl
- days and good weather.
, A passing track, about 060 feet ir
s length, sufficiently long to accom
1 modate a pretty good sized worl
train, has been constructed at Cam]
■ 15. This camp houses the steel gang
' and train crews and is pleasantlj
• situated on the north bank of Cleai
1 creek. Foreman Thomas Blakej
> is in charge of the steel gang, witl
■ James T. Oldfield, as timekeeper. Ii
■' is expected that the force will bt
1 largely increased as soon as the
• gravel bed, situated about a mile oi
' so below this camp, is got into ful
• working shape. Engine No 5, oi
• “Five-Spot” will be permanently sta
’ tioned here with the steel gang, botl
1 the camp and engine being mover
1 forward from time to time during
the period of active constructior
work.
The Bucyrus dragline excavator
under the command of Walter Holler
bach, had commenced operations i
few hundred yards below Camp 15
but it was found after the overlay
ing strata of muck had been re
moved, that the gravel bed belov
was frozen to a considerable extent
- and that this condition would neees
sarily retard the tracklaying opera
tions very considerably later on. T<
avoid delays, a little prospecting dis
closed the existence of a fine bee
of gravel free of the objectionabh
qualities found in the first one, ani
the excavator was moved to the nev
location, proceeding slowly but surel;
under her own power. The nev
location is about a mile or so belov
Camp 15. To accommodate thi
large string of flat cars that will bi
employed in tracklaying and sur
facing operations, a spur track wil
be built, the rails necessary for thi
purpose will probably be taken u]
, from their present location, nea
v Bailey station, and placed in positioi
1 near the dragline excavator.
The establishment of Camp 22, a
a point on the right of way abou
? 15 miles from Nenana, marks th
1 opening of the operations of th
Bucyrus dragline excavator on
large scale. All of the necessar;
s camp cars to house the crews, am
r the messhouse supplies and equip
s ment for the new camp will be sen
r out on the train leaving tomorrow
■- morning. It is the intention of th

A new section gang, to be known
