G|lCHER MUSHES HOME
 BY WAY OF RIVER TRAIL

William H. Gilcher, who went up to Fairbanks about a week ago on business in connection with his con- tract with the Alaskan Engineering commission for the lining of the new engine house, returned to Ne mana this morning overland.
 MT. Gilcher intended to return before conditions on the river made navigation impossible, but was de- layed longer than he anticipated, and was consequently compelled to hit the trail. He decided to follow the telegraph line along the river and started from the upper town last Sunday morning.
 The going was pretty heavy, he says, and he was not able to make good time. He arrived at Lescure's homestead yesterday evening, and authough there seemed to be pretty fair ice bridge across the river in the neigborhood of the mission, he did not care to tackle it in the dark, and accordingly spent the night at Lescure's crossing over in boat this morning.

BUNKERS BEING
 BUILT AT MINE NEAR CAMP 385
Billy Lynn Will Soon Be Shipping Coal For Use of the A. E. C.;
 Bunkers Being Erected.

| w. J. Lynn's coal mine, situated
 just 20 miles south of town and near the engineering camp at mile 3S5, is busy place nowadays, for
 in addition to the men actually min ing the coal, small force is busy erecting bunkers and loading platform of tipple against the day along side for a load of coal for Nenana.
 It is expected that in about two weeks time, the steel will have reached sufficiently far along the old location to permit of the taking in hand of the construction of a spur track leading to the tipple at Billy Lynn's mine. The shaft lead ing into the mine runs under the railroad bed and the spur leading to the tipple will run parallel with the main line and only a little way below the grade
 Lynn is under contract to supply the Alaskan Engineering commis- sion with one thousand tons of coal, which he will commence sending into Nenana as soon as the spur track to his mine has been com pleted. A track to accommodate the coal cars in the Nenana yards has been put in and in a short time more st1tng of coal cars rumbling into the Nenana yards will be no unusual sight.
 If the coal supplied by Lynn is found suitable for use by the Com mission in their power plant and on the locomotives, the quantity con- tracted for will probably be greatly increased. An exhaustive test, how ever, will be made as soon as a sufficient quantity for the purpose is received in town. The tests will be made, as outlined before in these columns, in the two boilers at the power plant. One of the boilers will be fed with measured quantities of wood and the other with weighed quantity of coal for a period of ten days, and a comparison made at the end of that period, of the rela- tive values of each class of fuel; and should the coal come up to ex- pectations, as it is thought it will, the Commission will use this coal exclusively. ....
 It is also highly probable that Nenanaites will have an opportunity to use Ignite coal from Lynn's mine this winter. Mir. Browne, en- gineer in charge, told a News rep resentatiSe that after Lynn had fulfilled his contract with the A. E. C., freight rate on his coal will be named that will make it possible for him to compete success fully with the wood, provided he cared to go into the business of meeting the local demand for fuel.
 Lignite coal has been in genera, use for some time past in the dis tant camps of the A. E. C., the 43- mile and Lignite roadhouses and among the prospectors and trappers in the Lignite and Healy river countries, and has given great satis- faction. Some time ago a small shipment of it was brought to Ne mana and distributed among some of the families, who all agree that this fuel is much better than wood in every possible way. The Ignite coal was burned in ordinary cook stoves and heaters without grates, and it is thought that if the stoves are fitted with grates the results obtained will be great deal better.

STATIONS for our Fourth Liberty
Loan Campaign. have never seen
such enthusiasm. There are about
5000 men stationed here, and we
are endeavoring 10 raise $4,000,
which was the great quota OF the
third campaign when there were
about $4,000 men here. Great num-
bers signed for Liberty Bonds
which can be paid for by monthly
payments through the postmaster.
One thing has impressed me very
forcibly here-and that is the at
titude OF officers and men regard
ing the war. Despite the rumors
current of peace negotiations and
peace proposals by Germany and
her allies, the sailor boys are sub
scribing for bonds, feeling that this
is the only way to give us victory.
We have a peculiar notion that these
overtures of peace by our enemies
are TO try and thwart our Fourth
Liberty Campaign" We must have
s6,0OO.OOO,OOO as this will discourage
our enemies even more so than an
Allied victory. The outlook for the
Allies is very encouraging, but we
must not be too optimistic and lay
down our jobs. We must endure to
the end. I trust that we as Ameri-
cans will fully realize this and not
be deceived.
