NEW WORK BEGUN THIS MORN
ING ON KENAI-SEWARD CUT
OFF BY SUPT. WOODS
ELIMINATES STREAMS
Superintendent Woods Praises Activ
ities of His Crew of Thirty Men.
Road Will Circle Hill
Grading work on the new Seward
Kenai cut-off began this morning with
one crew on the job, announces V. K. j
Woods, superintendent of the Seims j
and Carlson road crew. Clearing was j
also begun this morning at point zero, i
the Seward end of the cut-off. A crew ;
has already penetrated to a distance
of three quarters of a mile from Sta
tion 174, the other end of the trail.
The going at that point is particularly
difficult owing to the heavy under
brush and numerous trees. At this
juncture, where the new road meets
the old one, it will circle the bottom
of the mountain, going through by
the old McPherson homestead. When
completed the cut-off will eliminate
the glacial stream which in times past
has hindered traffic to a great extent,
the road being inundated at certain
seasons. In length the road will be
a little over two miles, traversing a
splendid scenic section.
Over Thirty Men Employed.
Over thirty men are at present em
ployed on the project and a trip thru
the company’s camp at the far end of
the cut-off reveals a most modern
outfit, so equipped for conscience and
comfort that no hardships of any kind
fall on the crew. Three large tents
house the men, each accommodating
eight or nine men. They are warm
and comfortable, and furnished with
single spring beds. No double deckers
| are in the tents. Another tent serves
as the office for Supt. Woods, and this
also is his quarters. The blacksmith
shop is off to one side.
Fred Schrenger Is Chef
The cookhouse and meat house,
however, is the center of attraction
at the camp, for here, under the man
agement of chef, Fred Schrenger and
wife, the destiny of the inner man is
presided over. The kitchen is a mar
vel of cleanliness, with systematic
orderliness apparent at all times. Mr.
Schrenger is one of the best cooks of
this district, having served as chef at
the Seward Grill for a year or so.
The meat house to the rear, which
is scrubbed daily, is screened and
protected from all insects, and venti
lated to carry off any odors. Fresh
water is piped to the camp from a
sparkling stream 600 feet away, elim
inating all possible chance of contam
A cesspool has been made and an in
cinerator destroys quickly all debris
gathered in the camp. Not a garbage
lan is glimpsed by the visitor to the
:amp. Coal and wood for the camp is
purchased by the ton and rick. One
can easily ascertain why the firm of
Siems and Carlson is so familiarly
known about the Territory after mak
ing a visit to one of their ideal camps.
In addition to this they have the
name of always completing their pro
jects which they may have under con
tract.
Gas Masks for Animals
Planned for Next Year
NEW YORK, July 23 (£*)—A cat
running amuck with a tomato can
over its head, once the evidence of a
juvenile prank, may not be such a
strange sight if the army continues to
progress along lines of devising gas
masks for animals. Today the Army -#
Chemical Warfare Service announced
that gas masks had been developed
for carrier pigeons, dogs and horses.
And now stray cats, white rabbits and
other soldier mascots are beginning to
sniff the air in suspicious fashion.
The mask for horses and mules con
sists of cheese cloth bags which cov
ers the nostrils and upper jaw only,
as horses never breathe through the
mouth. Neither do they cry, so the
eyes need no covering against tear
gas. The mask is carried in a satchel
on the breast harness when not in
use. »
The dog mask is similar except that
it covers upper and lower jawrs. The
carrier pigeons will not be required to
wear individual masks like their ani
mal mates in the service, but will be
protected from chemical agents by a
special gas cover drawn over the
cage.
