NENANA CANYON r.
 MAY Bt::;'SCENE:::: ;: ::: 0F WORK SOON
Engineer In Charge Will Undertake Tunnelling Work This Winter
 If Possible.

Frederick D. Browne, engineer in charge of the Fairbanks division of the Alaskan Engineering commission told the News representative this morning. that he is anxious to under take the rock work on the tunnels and parts of the grade in the Ne mana canyon as soon as possible, in order that he may be able to give employment to as large force of men as possible during the coming winter. His plans, MT. Browne said, will depend entirely on the amount of money that will be made available for railroad purposes or this division. Of the original appropriation of thirty-five million dollars, only four million dollars will remain at the end of the present year, and it will be necessary to introduce legislation to have the amount called for in the original railroad bill increased, in order that the railroad may be completed from the coast to the Interior. It is possible that this appropriation may net be increased until after the war, and the re- maining four million dollars will therefore have to be used for the extension of the main line both from the coast and the Nenana end. That portion of the remaining four million dollars which will be made available for work on this division of the road will be used to complete the main line to the coal fields, connect up Fairbanks with Nenana and to extend the road towards the coast.
 1 MT. Browne plans to do as much work as he possibly can on the tun- ;ne1s this winter, and with the com ing of spring, use the force engaged in the tunnels to complete the Fair banks-Nenana line.
 The country through which the railroad line runs in the Nenana canyon is of rocky character and besides the tunnels, there will be much rock excavation work neces- sary, needing large force of men for it's proper completion. The tun- nels occur in the canyon about six miles beyond Lignite; there will be three of these tunnels, 500 feet, 500 feet and 2s5 feet in length respectively.
 No definite plans have been made in regard to this work yet, but it is certain that if there is a possible chance to do so, MT. Browne will authorize the taking in hand of this work at the earliest possible moment.

The Sulzer fisheries bill was held up to ridicule, the former delegate endeavoring to show that the bill was drawn in favor of the Westward fish monop- oily, and against the canneries and fishermen of the coast near Ketchi- kan.

He declared . that Morrissey should now be in the service, where he is needed, to which Morrisey replied that he had endeavored to join the colors but had been informed that he was no.

not start till half an hour later, and
