(Continued from Page One.)
Now, Mr. Secretary, in conform
ity with your suggestion, and in
commenoration of the completion
of the railroad, 1 have the pleasure
of driving the Golden Spike.
Miniature Bridge for President
After President Harding had driv
en the Golden Spike and that part of
the ceremony had been concluded,
Mayor Prank Teufel stepped for
ward and presented the chief exe
cutive with a miniature gold and sil
ver bridge, the gift of the city of
Nenana. The presentation was ac
companied by a brief address by
the mayor, appropriate to the pcca
sion, and feelingly replied to by the
President. Wallace Calderhead, young
Nenana jeweler, who made the min
iature, was introduced to the Pres
ident at this juncture and was highly
complimented on his workmanship.
Leave for Fairbanks
Immediately following the spike
driving ceremony the Presidential
train moved on to Fairbanks, reach
ing the upper town shortly after
eight o’clock and remaining there
until late yesterday afternoon.
On the return trip to the coast
President Harding did not leave the
train at Nenana, but he was on the
rear platform and was kept busy
during the brief stay here, shaking
hands with the many who were there
to bid him farewell, and admiring
the children who had been brought
to the depot to get another smile
from the friendly executive. Just
before the train started the President
summoned the members of the Ne
nana Brass band to the car in order
that he might tell them how much
their playing had added to the plea
' sure of his and Mrs. Harding’s stay
in Nenana. Mrs. Harding had retired

shortly after the train left Fairbanks
and was not able to appear on the
platform while the train was at
Xenana, but she waved a hearty,
farewell from her window, and the
President and Governor Bone were
still waving their hands as the train
rounded the curve out of view of the
depot, bringing to an end one of the
most enjoyable occasions ever ex
perienced by Alaskans.
President Drives Engine
On the way over from the coast,
on Saturday, President Harding, as
head of the Government, drove one
of his own locomotives over his own
railroad and, with Mrs. Harding, had
as much fun as a couple of young
sters having their first train trip.
When the Presidential train arrived
at Wasilla, the President and Mrs.
Harding went up to the engine and
climbed into the cab. The Chief Ex
ecutive, after receiving brief in
truction. took the throttle and drove
the train to Willow, the next sta
tion, a distance of 26 miles, in 51
minutes. Mrs. Harding occupied the
fireman’s side of the cab.
The President was described by
the engineer as a good engineer but
the dining car steward declared he
was not very good at stopping, as
he slowed the train down with a
jerk that broke nearly a dozen cups
in the diner.
While the engine took water, the
President visited with the section
men and helped them paint a por
tion of a new bunk house, wielding
the brush vigorously. Also during
the brief stop the President discov
ered that Leroy Harden, son of the
section boss, had been bom on the
day he was elected President. He
gave the youngster a dollar bill to
put in the bank.
Mrs. Harding spent much of
the time on the trip to Xenana riding
in what is known on the Alaska
Railroad as a speeder, being an au
tomobile fitted with flanged wheels
to fit the rails. The ear followed
close behind the train and Mrs. Hard
ing declared it superior to the Pres
idential car.
Inspects Chickaloon Mine
The President’s train was run up
from Matanuska to Chiekalaan dur
ing the night and after breakfast
aboard the train Saturday morning.
President Harding, accompanied by
Secretaries Work and Hoover, in
spected the mines where the Navy
department made its first and gen
erally considered unsuccessful ven
ture in coal mining. The property
was rendered inoperative more than
a year ago after the Navy depart
ment, following a policy determined
upon in 1917, had expended approx
imately a million dollars.
The President was informed t'ha.
the coal which is soft anthracite, is
available in large quantities, but
the cost of production is too great.
The party saw thousands of dollars
worth of machinery rusting, and a
deserted village of a score of
housest and bungalows, with electric
lights, water and ball park.
Returning to Matanuska the Pres
ident saw the bituminous ’fields
where the Alaska Railroad gets
most of its fuel, after which the
train resumed the journey north
ward, Saturday night was spent at
i Broad Pass.
