P. A. Hanson, engineer of main
tenance and construction on the
Southern division, who made the
trip over the trail to Healy this
week with Col. Mears, passed
through Nenana yesterday enroute
to Fairbanks. He traveled by speed
er over both lines, having arrived
in town too late to catch the regu
lar train to Fairbanks. This is Mr.
Hanson’s first visit to the Interior.
Fresh tomatoes from the Nenana
Gardens have made their appearance
on the local market within the past
few days, much in advance of their
usual arrival. Green onions and let
tuce have disappeared from the
market temporarily.
There will be no train on Mon
day to the end of steel. The Com
mission forces will observe Memor
ial Day.
The presence of Harry Karstens
among the passengers on the steam
er Northwestern is regarded by his
friends here as confirmatory of the
reports regarding his appointment
as superintendent of McKinley Na
tional Park.

The recent ice blockade on the
Southern division occurred at Miles
236 and 237, a spreader crew and
numerous section men having been
compelled to labor several days to
remove the obstruction from the
tracks.
The work of recovering the rolling
stock which was derailed recently
at Bartlett glacier, on the Seward
Anehorage line, is going ahead rapid
ly, two cabooses having already
been re-railed and the locomotives
started on their way to the grade.
A short temporary track was laid
from the main line down toward
the wrecked equipment to facilitate
the work of rescue.
George Jenkins, conductor on the
construction train working In the
vicinity of Susitna bridge, was
thrown from the top of a box car
recently and received injuries which
laid him up for repairs in the hospi
tal at Anchorage. The box car ran
off the track just as it was crossing
a culvert, and Jenkins fell or jumped
to the ground, a distance of about
18 feet. Six bones were broken in
the right ankle and the left leg
broken below the knee.
A gasoline speed# with four
passengers and operated by S. E.
Nelson, ran into an open switch
recently while on the way to An
chorage from Talkeetna. The car
was wrecked and all of the occu
pants injured, one having suffered
a fractured collar bone, arm and
two ribs.
The work of assembling steel for
the Hurricane Gulch bridge is now
under way under the direction of
H. M. Braford, foreman for the
American Bridge Company, with a
gang of eight men. This gang will
be augmented shortly by the addition
of 16 experienced steel workers,
who are coming North on the Ad
miral Watson, due at Anchorage
within the next few days. Braford
estimates that it will take 90 days
to complete the structure.
FOURTH DIVISION SENATOR
MAKES HIT IN ANCHORAGE
The Anchorage Times of recent
date has the following to say about
Senator E. B. Collins: “Although
not a resident of the Third division,
E. B. Collins, senator from the
Fourth, has been unanimously elect
ed to that exalted position by fel
low legislative members from the
Third.
“The junior senator from Fair
banks was extended this honor on
account of his co-operation with the
home boys on matters pertaining
to the good of the Third division
in general and Anchorage in particu
> lar. Mr. Collins kept good his pre
election promises and judging from
the flattering accounts of his mater
ial service in the senate, his posi
tion is secure. He is recognized as
one of the leading Interior citizens
and his splendid work was in accord
ance with his high ability and loyal
ty to his constituents. He became an
avowed friend of Anchorage on this
trip and made many friends who
will always be glad to welcome his
return.
DANCERS OF NENANA WILL
GATHER AT HALL TONIGHT
Just to prove that Nenana can
give a dance, and an enjoyable one,
if it tries, the dancers of the town
are going to make merry at Union
hall this evening, beginning early
and continuing until all have had
enough.
Those responsible for the affair
were out bright and early this morn
ing rounding up the crowd and they
have left it to The News to notify
any who may have been overlooked.
It is to be a regular informal public
dance, to which all the dancers of
the town are invited, and it is the
hope of the committee that there
will ne no backsliders.

Louis Doumain, who is under in
dictment on two charges and who
figured prominently several days ago
in a shooting affray which nearly
cost him his life, is in the toils of
the law again—this time on a charge
of having liguor in his possession.
The police searched his cabin and
found 35 gallons of liquor. He ap
peared befor Commissioner Reed
Heilig yesterday afternoon and was
fined $250 and costs and sentenced
to a term of five months in the
federal jail, which will keep him
occupied until court convenes for
the fall term.
Lola B., the colored woman who
is alleged to have shot Doumain
several days during a row In the
restricted dictrict, was arrested this
week on a charge of violating the
bone dry law. She appeared before
Commissioner Heilig yesterday and
was assessed a fine of $450 and
costs.
Mrs. Tom Gibson has advised her
husband that she and Mrs. Alex
Simson will leave New York in
time to connect with the first Gib
son stage out of Chitina, after the
first of June.
Graduating exercises were held at
Thornes theater on Thursday even
ing and diplomas were awarded to
Misses Margaret H. Collins, Bessie
Blaker and Alfhilda Thelin. The ad
dress of the evening was delivered
by John A. Clark.
Mail Carrier Roy Lund came in
from Richardson yesterday.
Mrs. Roy Maddocks will have
charge of the Fox school during the
summer term, which commences on
Monday.
There was a heavy frost last
night, sufficient to form ice.
Mrs. Robert Geis, who has been
under treatment at the hospital for
inflammatory rheumatism, was taken
home yesterday, considerably im
proved.
Mrs. C. N. Creamer, who was
under treatment at the hospital for
a severe attack of grippe, is now
convalescent. She went home today.
J. C. Keller has been removed to
his home, where he is convalescing.

EVERYONE IS INVITED TO
MAKE TRIP TO CEMETERY
The committee in charge of the
cemetery cleanup excursion, which
will leave the commission dock at
eight o’clock tomorrow morning, has
asked The News to make it plain
that everyone in town, who can pos
sibly get away, is invited to join
the party. It is pointed out that the
work planned must be done as a
measure of protection to the ceme
tery tract, and that it must be done
by volunteer labor, as there are no
funds available for the undertaking.
And if it is not done now, there Is
the danger that a fire will sweep
the tract and destroy all the head
boards and enclosures which have
been placed in the cemetery at no
small expense.
Should there be any citizens who
feel that they cannot spare the time
to do their share of the work, they
have the privilege of sending some
one in their place, but it is im
portant that a considerable number
go, for otherwise it will not be pos
sible to complete the work In one
day.
As previously announced by The
News, there will be ample accommo
dations for all who will lend a
hand in this very important work,
and plenty of tools, also. All that
the workers need take with them is
lunch.
Cadastral Engineer Woodbury Ab
bey, who came North on the steam
er Northwestern, plans to leave for
the Interior on Wednesday.
