ONLY 90 MILE GAP LEFT IN
SEWARD NENANA LINE BY FALL
SAYS COMMISSIONER RIGGS
A gap of but ninety miles will sep
arate the end of the Alaska railroad
now building from the coast and the
end being built from Nenana south b)
next fall, if the present plans of the
Alaskan Engineering Commission ma
ture. For it is intended to have the
road completed out ot Nenana for a
distance of fifty miles, to Lignite, *n
the heart of the Nenana coal fields,
by the time the snow flies, and to have
the coast end of the road built to a
point but ninety miles from Lignite.
The two places cannot be connected
up by a winter trail, owing to the fact
that part of the route where the rail
road will not be built this season goes
through the Nenana canyon, which is
impassable for anything except dog
teams in the winter.
tt I
Out of Nenana proper seven miles
of narrow guage road has been com
pleted and trains are in operation, ac
cording to Commissioner Thomas
Riggs Jr., who is now in Fairbanks on
a business trip. This short stretch is
very useful, as it enables contractors
working further out on the line to
shorten the haul of supplies just that
much.
Of the three million-dollar appro
priation made before congress ad
journed hist September, about $100,
000 is to be spent this summer in con
tracts, according to Riggs, contracts
to cover it having been let. The
amount covers all kinds of contracts
from clearing and stripping to actual
construction work.
Riggs stated that since coming to
town this time he has heard consid
erable criticism in regard to the work
going on at Xenana. In answer to this
he reiterates his statement made sev
eral times before that Xenana is the
central construction point of the rail
1 road in the interior, chiefly on account
and bridge work for nearly the entire
graded distance.
At the main camp in Nenana vast
improvements are being made in all
departments. A large annex has been
built to the warehouse, giving them
nearly double the former storage
space.
The sawmill is in the course of con
struction. The main building is ele
vated on piling, and its floor area is
sufficient to give a large working
space to each mill department.
Clearing for the yard terminals is
in progress, and the many and rapid
discharges of blasting powder bring
the overseas disturbance to mind—
with none of the horrors.
When the thaw takes place the
steam shovel will be put in operation
at the gravel pit, and surface grading
on track now laid will bring the steel ^
to a permanent grade.
The record of construction is re* j
markable, in that no major injuries,
to employes are noted, and the sani-!
tary condition of the camp is condu-1
cive to good health, which all are en
joying to date.
A row three-rto.v hunk house will
soon be in the course of erection, fitt
ed out with shower baths and other
necessaries for the working man. At
present both mess and sleeping quar
ters are somewhat congested, as all
of the labor is being taken care of
at this end only.
To facilitate the handling of em
ployes, the commission has instituted
an “employment agent,” and it is
proving a success in giving contrac
tors competent help.
For the accommodation of contrac
tors, a commissary store and time
keeper have been established at Mile
| 4,q. Residencies have also been estab
i lished at miles 20 and 25.

FAIRBANKS AND
NENANA PHONE
RATES FIXED
It will cost the people of Fairbanks
and Nenana just sixty-six and two
thirds cents per minute to converse
over the new engineering commission
telephone line for a period of three
minutes, according to the announce
ment of phone rates made by Com
missioner Thomas Riggs, Jr. After
three minutes of conversation are over
the rate per minute will be fifty cents.
The flat rate for a three-minute con
versation will be $2.
Riggs stated that arrangements had
been made whereby the Fairbanks
Telephone company is to handle the
business of the government wire on
this end of the line, while a “central”
is to be installed immediately at Ne
nana. The rate schedule announced
provides for the connecting up of any
telephone in Fairbanks with the wire
to Nenana.
Riggs stated that it is the intention
to have but one operator in the tele
phone office at Nenana at the present
time. Later, however, and if business
justifies more will be added to the
force.
No arrangements for a regular sub
scription telephone rate for individual
subscribers of the Fairbanks Tele
phone company have yet been made.

of the cheaper rates for freight from
the outside which its position affords,
but that the engineering commission
has at no time boosted Nenana in pref
erence to Fairbanks. He says that
it is absolutely essential that the rail
road to the coal fields from Nenana j
! be constructed first of all this sum
; mer, but that after that time work
will commence immediately on the
road from Nenana to Fairbanks.
While progress has been retarded
to a large degree by the continued
cold weather, plans have been for
mulated whereby the work will be
pushed faster.
Six miles of steel have been laid
south of Nenana for construction pur
poses; trestling and piledriving have
gone forward on the line to such an
