September’s new snow, had. on
Nov. 15, gene away and on Oct. 1
theweather broke into lovely, clear
Indian summer, which lasted un
til Oct. 16. when it clouded up and
snow fell again to the depth of
about three feet of .settled snow
fall between Oct. 20 and 27.
V sH * *
The section crews were all cut
down on October 15.

Tom Dickenson had a crew of
five men putting in another new
bridge across Indian river and one
half mile farther up stream from
the point where the big flood last
spring worked the old one out.
* * * *
Tom McCray had charge of put
ting in a new bridge and they fin
ished up on Oct. 27 and broke up
camp and moved everything to the
railroad. With their caterpillar and
trailer they then loaded all their
outfit cn a flat car and shipped it
to the Alaska Road Commission
shop a i McKinley Park station- El
mer Hostler, the “cat” man, went
to the Park’s shops and Tom Me
Cray and Tom Balls left for Willow
, creek where they will build anoth- j
er new bridge across Willow creek
about seven miles from the railroad j
on the road to the Lucky Shot
mine.
* * * *
Tom Dickenson, the A. R. C. fore
man, went to Anchorage to spend !
the rest of the winter. He spent the ;
j summer at McKinley Park repair- j
ing and building on the new high- j
way. He said not much big game j
was seen in the Park this year. j
* * * #
Elmer Boedeker, one of the Dis- j
covery boys of the Hidden river j
district came out Oct. 1 and was j
discouraged with his new strike on i
Hidden river. The boys ran into
some lich ore showing plenty of
free gold and then all at once it
played right out. Roy Boedeker
claims it pinched out on them and
he has quit there for good, he said.
He went down in August and went
to work at the Lucky Shot mine till
next spring, when he will go into ’
the Nabesna district, but Elmer!
. will spend the winter at Chulitna |
in his cabin on Pass creek, Mile i
'267 1-2, A. R. R. £
The Alaska Railroad started to
cut down some more and on Nov.
1 around five or six sections north
of Curry ar.d to Fairbanks, have
been discontinued and added on to j
adjoinmg sections. With the new ,
sections each 10 miles long now,
and only the foreman and one
helper to each, it will be very hard
to keep the main line in shape as
the men can’t snow-shoe the trail
and work in the stormy weather,
too
* * * *
It was rumored about Fairbanks'
that the Alaska Railroad would
only run a mixed train every 10
days during the rest of the win
ter, doing away with an extra
train cvew, but that is better than
no train at all.
* * * *
Mr. and Mrs. Will Johnston, fur
farmers and placer miners at Gold
creek, will be quite lonesome this
winter with the Gold creek sec
tion cut out. Their nearest neigh
bor will be seven miles away. Mr.
Johnston has not been feeling very
well this summer.
Art Myhers, pump mai. Can
yon, Mile 268, has been in Anchor
age getting his teeth all fixed up
| and is still in town. A man from
j the bridge ere wis looking after
j the pump station till Mr. Myhers
! gets back. The b:idge crew finish
! ed up and left for Anchorage on
' Novfl 6.
& * t*
Steve Nicholas, section boss at
! Chulitna hasn.t been feeling quite
i well the past two weeks and ex
| tending this section to Gold creek
j has made it rather hard for him
to look after his section. Jim Zour
as, his helper, is a very good man
and does most of the work. Jim has
worked an the section ever since
1909 out of. Cordova and on the
| Alaska Railroad since 1916.
* * * *
Tom Pafalious section boss at1
Hurricane, with one man, has to j
come down to Mile 274 south and '
284 north, giving him 10 miles to I
look after. He says; “No can do, '
no can do; but will do the best 11
! can.”
I
Mr. and Mrs. Van Kirk are get- I
; ting along nicely on the Honolulu
section. Van has charge of the sec- '
! tion and pump with one man, and
has his section in pretty good
shape for the winter. Mrs. Van Kirk
misses her friend Mrs. Shannon
since the Shannons left for Cop
per Mountain.
* * * «
Mrs. Shannon raised a fine team
of five dogs on their homestead in
Honolulu creek valley this past
summer and together with her
husband, Bill Shannon, left Oct.
1 for their trap line at Copper Mt.,
where they will be all winter. Bill
has a lot of promising quartz
claims located at Copper Mt.

i
Melven Clementson, trapper and '
prospector out of Hurricane sta
tion, Mile 28.1. built new cabin on
the Chulitna river at the mouth of i
Granite creek and another at the
mouth of Ohio creek, giving him
four cabins on his trap line which
takes in Big Coal creek and Ohio
creek valleys. He also will put down
two holes to bed rock on a small
creek between Coal creek and Por
ter creek, as he said the creek
looked good for placer.
* * * *
| Bridge crew gang B-l, stationed
j at the east fork of the Chulitna
[ crossing at Mile 292, has finished
! pouring onh large 60-foot pier and
I has half completed the second pier.
I A big steel span will be put in this
j winter.

There was about two feet of set
tled snow through the Broad Pass
region about November 15, with no
signs of any caribou around the
| Pass. So far this year there are
I not many fur signs and only a few
, ptarmigan and grouse are seen oc
J casionally. The Russel snowplow
j has been called out only twice so
! far to clear the main line thur the
'Pass, and from November 6 to 16
| it aver°gcd 10 degrees below zero.

Mixe Eackstrom, who lost his new
$2,000 cabin and all of his fur by

built another cabin at the same
place. The Eskimo who set fire to
his first fine home was caught by
Walter Culver and was sent to the

INTO THE VALLEY *
OF DEATH
"Nature in the Raiv”—as portrayed
by John Charlton, after the famous
painting depicting the heroic Charge
of the Light Brigade in the face of a
withering fire at the battle of Bala
klava in the Crimean War (1854).
"Nature in the Raw is Seldom
Mild”—and raw tobaccos have no
place in cigarettes.
No raw tobaccos in Luckies
—that’s why they’re so mild
E buy the finest, the very finest
▼ ▼ tobaccos in all the world—
but that does not explain why
folks everywhere regard Lucky
Strike as the mildest cigarette.
The fact is, we never overlook the
truth that "Nature in the Raw
is Seldom Mild”— so these fine
tobaccos, after proper aging and
mellowing, are then given the
benefit of that Lucky Strike puri
fying process, described by the
words—"It’s toasted”. That’s
why folks in every city, town and
hamlet say that Luckies are such
mild cigarettes.
“It’s toasted"
That package of mild Luckies
