HIGH WATER
THREATENING
—
; The washout of thirteen miles of,
Alaska railroad embankment stretch-j
ing from a point seven miles south j
I of Nonana to Twenty Mile, was!
threatened by a flood of the Nenuna
river on August Oth.
The Camp at Twenty Mile is com
pletely washed away as the result of
the flood. It included cabins construct
ed by the Engineering Commission
and also by A. 1L Funk & Co., a con
tracting firm. The reason for the pos-j
sible washouts was the change of the
channel of the river from the rivet
proper to Lost Slough, but after aj
day or two of high water the course
switched away and no further damage
occurred.
Joe McDonald, a teamster in the |
employ of the commission, lost a val
uable horse while attempting to cross
the river at Ten Mile on August 8th.
He also lost a wagon and a quantity
of feed, but managed to save three
horses of his team.
