FAIRBANKS LINE ID SUPPLY WOOD
 FOR WINTER USE
Extension of Road From Happy Towards Nenana to Be Pushed
 Forward Rapidly.

Frederick D. Browne, engineer in charge, who recently made a trip for the purpose of inspecting the work done at the Happy end of the Fairbanks-Nenana line, has expressed satisfaction at the work accomplish ed so far and at the arrangements made for a continuation of the work and the extension of the road to- wards Nenana. .
 Grading contracts have been awarded in sufficient numbers to ensure the extension of the road to permit of the operation of trains as far as Spinach creek, which is approximately twelve miles from the point on the T. V. R. R. where the road branches out at Happy station. Additional grading contracts would have been let if any advantage could have been gained thereby, and an appreciable amount of grading work could have been completed be- fore the frost makes work of this nature impossible, and the labor for such work was available.
 When completed, his branch of the road will make a large area of timbered lands available to the peo- pie of Fairbanks for all purposes. The question of winter fuel for Fairbanks, which had almost reached the acute stage, will be solved to large extent with the completion of the road as far as Spinach creek, and the operation of trains thus far.
 MT. Frederick D. Browne stated that trains will be operated from Fairbanks to Spinach creek as often as 1t is deemed necessary for the accommodation of the people of Fairbanks, during the coming win ter. The establishment of the train service will also eliminate a diffi- cult stretch of the existing trail be- tween Fairbanks and Nenana and. it is thought, will greatly accelerate the winter mail service between the two towns.
 Work on this line will be con- tinued as long as possible and all work of such nature as can be done to advantage will be continued during the winter season.

GUARD WILL BE POSTSD
 ON OCTOBER 1
Guard Rules Obtaining In Docks and Shipyards Outside Will Be
 Extended to Nenana.

From and after October 1, the Commission reserve will be divided into zones in order that government property can be more effectively guarded and the area patrolled by the military shortened and made more effective. The hospital, mess house and dormitories will not be in cluded within the restricted area.
 The zones under military guard will include all of the other build ings of the Commission and will extend from the waterfront to a point beyond the old roundhouse and the Y. A line of posts bearing warning signs will mark the bound aries of the area controlled by the troops and it will be unlawful for any person to be found within this area between the hours of 2 D. m. and a. m., unless he has written pass to do so. Anyone attempting to penetrate beyond the marked boundaries at unreasonable times and in direct violation of the warn ing signs which will be posted in conspicuous places, will do so at his peril. Instructions have been is sued to the military guard as to how they should deal with any in Judgements of the rules laid down, and these instructions will be strict ly carried out and the regulations enforced. |'.
 The restrictions which will go into effect after the first of next month are not intended to work a hard ship on the people, but is merely an extension of the system adopted throughout the states and territories for the purpose of guarding govern ment property from damage and de- struction in time of war, and is ex- actly similar to the regulations in force in the shipyards and water fronts in all the big cities in the States.
 The new guard system, while mak- ing the present regulations more stringent, will also obviate the e. cessity for a larger military force than the one doing duty at present and will shorten the patrols very considerably and make the fire pro- lection scheme much more effective. Any person who may have busi- ness to transact within the pro- scribed area during any time before 2 a. m. and after 2 p. m. must pro- vide himslef with a written pass per hitting him to do so.

Ruby Red Cross rooster, reached Haines all o. K. and was raffled off last night at the Rialto theater. Liberty" was won by Private Mar tin Olson of Co. A. 14th Infantry, now stationed at Fort Seward.
 Malcolm and Mildred Morrison and Florence and Margaret Bar net were the kiddies who sold the tickets for the raffle. The result shows that they are little patriots, as they raised $11S.75 for the bene- fit of the Red Cross. Liberty" goes from here to Juneau to con- tinue his good work.

Announcement is made that the new instructions for the knitting of sweaters, etc., for the use of the boys in the trenches, have been received from Fairbanks and may be had on application to Mrs. J. R. Bowen, chairman of the local Red Cross branch.
 All those who have not started on sweaters are requested to get the new instructions before commencing work on these lines.
 Quite saving of yarn is claimed for the new method, four skeins of the yarn is found to be sufficient, as against five skeins used hitherto.

The following clippings from newspapers containing news of the Red Cross rooster Liberty, will, no doubt, interest Nenanaites who had the pleasure of contributing through the medium of the bird, to very worthy cause:
 Skagway, August 24.-For a few moments Liberty" crowed for Mrs. Crow, of Seattle, as that lady held ticket 33, which was drawn by little Betty Lindsey when the Red Gross rooster was raffled at Keller Bros. store at noon. The amounts SC. cured at each place for the good of the cause are:

l|GN|TE COAL WILL BE MINED
 NEAR RAILROAD
R. E. Burns & Go. Will Open Coal Mine Near Lignite; Operations
 to Commence At Once.

R. E. Burns & Co.,, who have been awarded a contract for the supply of 5000 tons of Lignite coal for the use of the Alaskan Engin eering commission are now com pleting arrangements to open up mine, tapping some good seams near the Lignite country. The partners to the contract are Robert E. Burns, John Bernard and Andrew Ander- son.
 They expect to drive a slope from the face of the seam to the 200 foot level and from the end of the slope or at the 100 foot level will open up the working rooms. A sufficient number of rooms will be opened to give a minimum working output of at least 50 tons of coal per day.
 There are six coal seams in the immediate vicinity of the proposed mine, the largest of which is seven- teen feet wide, and occur on the hillside approximately one thousand feet way from the main line of the railroad at Station No. 17433.
 John Bernard, one of the part ners to the contract, is now in Fair banks getting together the necessary equipment for the proper working of the mine. The equipment con- sists of one 12 h. p. boiler, one 50- h. p. boiler, hoist, pumps, fan for ventilating workings, engine and dynamo. It is expected that these things will be shipped in a day or two.
 As soon as they have been re- ceived in Nenana, they will be sent up to the mine and duly installed, and commencement will be made with the preliminary work on the mine
 According to the agreement en- tered into between R. E. Burns & Go. and the Alaskan Engineering commission, the latter party will build and maintain a spur track running from the main line to the tipple at the mine shaft. It is ex- pected that the steel will be laid on the main line to the vicinity of the mine by the middle of December and that the work of laying the spur will be taken in hand just as soon as station No. 17433 has been reached with the steel. The con- tractors do not expect to ship any coal into Nenana until the line and spur has been completed.
 The mining operations to be taken in hand by R. E. Burns & Go are planned on the room and pillar sys- tenn and the number of working rooms to be opened up will depend entirely on the nature of the de- mands made for the fuel by the Alaskan Engineering commission.
 Shipments of coal for local use will probably be sent to Nenana after the requiremnts of the com mission have been fully met.
