SIX CAMPS ESTABLISHED ALONG
LINE IN TALKETNA DISTRICT
different camps for use of the gangs
now at work, and some of the sup
plies for the section between stations
9743 and 9825 have been placed, in
anticipation of the season's activity
at those points. Because of deep snow
and the poor condition of trails much
of the hauling was done by dog team,
especially between Camp 245 and the
engineers’ camp ut Mile 255. The
hauling of the bridge engineers' par
ty at the bridge site at Susitna river
crossing was also done by dog team,
as it was practically impossible to use ^
horses on that work.
The telephone line in the lalkeet
na district has been extended to Mile.
255. A wire has also been hung across
the Susitna river at the crossing. This
has not been connected with the main
wire as yet, it having been deemed
advisable to stretch the line across the
river, while the stream was still
frozen over. Later in the spring,
when the through wire reaches this
point the connection will be made.
There are at the date of this report
three residences organized within the!
district. By May 1 it is planned to
have two additional organizations
completed, and upon the opening of
navigation a third residency. This
will make a total of six residences to
care for the engineering work between
Sheep creek and the Susitna river
crossing.
On April 21, the total force employ
ed in the district was 270, classified
as follows: Stationmen 108, laborers
97, me-ss house help 15, corral and
teamsters 14, engineering 24, admin
istration 12.
