ELEVATED TRACK
BEING COMPLETED
IN NENANA YARD

All of the piling necessary for the
elevated track in the Nenana yard
for the unloading of coal shipments
have now been driven, and workmen
are now busily engaged in putting
in the sway braces and stringers,
preparatory to laying track On It.
Seventy-pound rails are being
used for stringers, owing to the
shortage of this class of material,
and the ties and track will be laid
on just as soon as the men are
through with the work Of laying
the stringers and bracing the struc-
ture
The work is being rushed to COM
pletion, owing to the fact that the
Burns mine is now not so very far
away from the end of steel and coal
shipments will be brought into town
from this mine Immediately after
the rails reach there. There is a
large quantity of coal ready for
instant shipment at the Bunrs mine,
and the mine owners can always get
out more coal than can be hauled
daily.
The Commission officials figure on
getting large reserve stock of coal
in the Nenana yards from the
Burns mine, which will be unloaded
on each side of the elevated track.
and before the breakup occurs It
is quite likely that the entire 5000
tons contracted for, or more. will
be brought to town.
The officials of the 4. E. c. be-
lieve that through traffic on the
railroad beyond the Crossing, will
be interrupted, as the ice will
probably damage the bridge across
the river at that point.
In view of this possibility every
effort is being put forth TO reach
the coal field in the quickest possible
time and commence hauling the pro-
duct OF the Burns mine to Nenana.

ISLAND RANCH
RICH IN FURS

CORDOVA-For nine years Jo-
seph Ibach and his wife have been
the sole residents of Middleton
Island, about sixty miles from here,
Recently they came TO Cordova with
100 blue fox skins valued at ap-
proximately $4,000, representing
the fruits of one years work on a
spot of land never visited by any
one except the crew of the power
schooner that takes supplies to the
Ibachs and brings them to the coast
The Ibachs never find time drag
ging on their hands Feeding of
their foxes alone is a considerable
task, as each animal requires two
and half pounds of fish daily
With $50 foxes on the island, the
work of supplying sufficient fish
daily for them is formidable in
itself. Seal meat and vegetables
are also fed to the foxes, the vege-
tables raised by the Ibachs.
In summer time the Ibachs some
times add much to their Income by
panning the sands of the beach for
gold dust.

JUDGE BUNNEL
BACK FROM TRIP
TO COAL FIELDS

District Judge Charles E. Bunnell,
who is on visit to Nenana and the
surrounding district, returned to
town on the train last night from
a trip to the Ignite country.

Sunday evening, travelling the river
trail on Buffers dog stage. He left
Nenana on last Mondays train for
the end of steel, in company with
Commissioner R. S. Mcdonald, mush-
ing to the Burns mine from this
point. Mr.. Mcdonald returned to
town the same evening.
While in the Ignite country, the
judge made the Singleton roadhouse
his headquarters. and visited poin\,
of interest in that neighborhood.
He was shown around the Burns
mine and had an opportunity to see
the work done so far and also to
view actual mining operations
He also made trip up Ignite
creek, the mouth of which is about
a mile beyond Singleton's road
house, going up the creek for a
distance of about six miles He
viewed the many coal outcroppings
that so plentifully occur along both
sides of the creek, and was much
struck with the looks of the big
veins that show up boldly on the
hillside near the headwaters of the
stream. The judge remarked that
those veins looked very big to him
The entire trip, including the rail
journey. was very interesting to
him and he stated that he greatly
enjoyed it
As the term of court in Fair
banks does not commence for some
time to come and there is no bust
ness of importance for the present.
the judge will remain in Nenana
for few days more. ere returning
to the upper town.

My dear Mrs. Wilson-Will YOU
please give recipe through your

Mrs. L. P.
Unless you use steam-pressure

is used and you must work right or

cooked and cleaned, then packed foi

Take up some sort of course at night

service work in the evenings.
Work is the best teacher of al to

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
DECOMING or not brown is i'm
- mcnscly smart. 1t is q color that
will have the right look this autumn
and-onC thing that will doubtless graf
ify you if you have already made plans
for brown autumn froCk-it cannot
possibly become too greatly populariZed,
for it must still rest on n plane of the
things that belong to the exclusive few.
And the reason is that there is a
marked shortage of brown fabrics in
the market. Makers of frocks and
suits who put things out in large guam
titles at small prices have not been able
many of them to get enough brown
to meet their needs. There is. espe-
cially a shortage of less expensive brown
materials. this because the textile
makers simply did not foresee such q
demand for brown.
So if you have brown you may be
sure that you will not be dressed in
the same color that every other woman
you meet wears. Some of the smaller
establishments, seeing the shortage of
brown, Immediately made arrangements
with expert dyers to dye the fabrics
they needed in the various fashionable
shades of brown, and not infrequently
lace or net is dyed to match exactly
the silk or wooden fabric with which
it is to be worn. For brown is like
gray in that it must not be mixed. One
shade of brown against another is al.
most an eyesore. Two shades of blue
sometimes are quite attractive, and
greens can be combined sometimes with
good enough effect, but one almost
never can wed browns with hope y of
harmony.
You can tell at a glance that this is
one of the most recent frocks and that
it is really hot from the designers. For
it has those dinkly little extended hips
that break out almost at right angles
from the waist. They are charming
if you are slender. If you are too
slender you may well rejoice in them.
But here is devoutly hoping that the
woman that is too stout does not' be-
come enamored of them and determine
on having her next frock built accord
ing to this model.
The frock sketched is made of en-
broidercd lace net in brown trimmed
with matching brown taffeta ribbon.
The hat is Of brown velvet with taffeta
ribbon tied in a bow at the back.

Unhappy "BiIlie A."

Suppose you change your tactics and
do not cry when this husband of yours
ill treats you. Sometimes a good dose
of ones own medicine does no end of
good.
1t is a strange kind of love which ad-
vises leaving the lover, because that
lover will not bother to control his ugly
temper, even though he knows that that
is the cause of her unhappiness.
I'm afraid Cynthia would give that
husband good old fashioned spanking
if he were hers.
I am sorry l cannot print your letter
as it is too long. If | can give you any
help | will be very glad.

TT IS only when you have entered your

light switch that you will understand
and appreciate what a comfort these
little light locaters are. And since almost
everybody has had this experience many
times. l doubt not that every one will
be interested in knowing about them.
Tiny buttons, the size Of penny,
and looking like pushpins, they have
been treated with radium, with the re-
suit that they give out bright glow
in the dark. Placing one of them near
the light switch will enable you to walk
straight to it. And for the light with
a chain there comes n tiny little bulb,
which you attach to the end of the
chain. 1t, too, gives out steady
glow in the dark and enables you to
locate the light without a particle Of
trouble. Either kind may be had for
twenty FIVE cents each.
One cannot have too many ash trays
in the house when the man of the house
is home. Seems as if a body ought
to have one on every chair. You can
get a neat little ash tray of brass,
with holder for box of safety

cigarettes, for fifty cents. They are
quite nice looking and are exception
