CLUB EXCURSION IS
 ENJOYABLE OUTING

The Disbursements excursion to the end of steel on the government railroad, south of Nenana, which was given yesterday under the aus pices of the Nenana Commercial club, fully accomplished the purpose for which it was planned Informa- tion of character to fill the ex- cursionists with confidence in the future of the Nenana district was gathered in abundance. and the trip proved fully as enjoyable as it was informative.
 The excursionists, more than a score of them, left town on a special train at ten o'clock Saturday night and, after reaching the Crossing, spent the remainder of the night on board the cars, which were pro- vided with comfortable sleeping ac- commodations After an early break fast at the railroad mess the follow ing morning, the excursionists set out in two directions, one party, headed by United States Commis- sioner R. S. Mcdonald and Town site Manager Carl Schmidt, going over the hill to the Totatlanika quartz belt, and the remainder of the crowd, under the chaperonage of Superintendent of Construction W. L. Packer, continuing on to the end of steel, four and one-half miles beyond the Crossing, from which point they mushed to the Burns coal mine, four miles beyond, and then to the mouth of Lignite creek, two and one-half miles still farther out. Returning, the two parties reached the Crossing at about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, just in time to enjoy the turkey dinner which had been prepared for them by Chef Ed Williams, who had come in from the track camp for the day for the special purpose of preparing the meals for the hungry visitors. The start home was made at 5:30, the train arriving in town shortly before ten.

The Railroad.

The excursionists, first of all, were .o.E favorably impressed by the business-like appearance of everything pertaining to the railroad Yesterday was the first time that many of them had travelled on the road, and they were not little surprised to find the work progress ing so speedily and smoothly, par ticularly in view of the fact that the work is being carried on under conditions quite unlike those ob- taining in other parts of the world where railroads have been built. The fact was apparent that winter weather is no deterrent to track lay ing or to the prosecution of much of the other work.
 At the end of steel the excursion ists found a construction train and the steel gang actively engaged in track-laying under the direction of Foreman Thomas K. Blakey. 4 couple of miles farther out the line a pile driver and force of men were bridging slough, and here again it was apparent that frost conditions had been overcome. Steam is used to thaw the ground where a pile IS to be driven, after which the driver hammers the timber into posi- tion without difficulty. Still far ther beyond the end of steel, smaller crews are engaged in building cul- yerts, and close to the Burns coal mine a number of men are hurry ing the grade for the 1000-foot spur track which is to connect the mine bunkers with the main line. All of this work, it is believed, will be completed within the next four or five weeks, including the laying of steel to the end of the present grade, close to the mouth of Lignite creek.
 The present plan of the Commis- sion is to suspend tracklaying oper- ations south of Nenana when the Burns mine has been tapped, and to begin work actively on the Fair banks branch. But there will be much other work to be done on the main line during the summer, such as ballasting and maintenance and it may be possible to keep force of four hundred men constantly em- ployed throughout the season on the grade south of Nenana. This work will be taken in hand as soon as the frost has left the ground.

Over the top twelve times was the
war record made by Corporal Alfred

ed on the Bridge View Ranch four
years ago. and joined the Canadian

Gray describes his experiences as
follows:
my first experience at war was

"A bunch of us fellows were sent
over the top. Between November II
and May IS, 1918, we were holding
the line and not doing much fight.

ing the months of May and June
1918.
Since then I've gone over three
times as a private and five as cor

trip We had received orders to leave
the trench we were in and go forward
and just as we got started the Germ
an Artillery opened up with some
gas shells and happened to be far
ther forward than the rest and got
right in the thick of 1t. When
went to put on my gas mask, shell
landed quite close and piece Of the
shell went through my mask so OF
course it was no good to me. l was
not able to get back as l was under
machine gun fire so l had to stay
and take the gas. Where l was,
was quite safe from machine gun fire
so there l stayed.

and then In the convalescent camp
for one month. Then l Went 20 the

GEORGE NAPLES NEW
SECRETARY OF FAIR
Appointed BY Directors To Serve
During Entire Year; Will Boost
All Departments M -

George NAPLES of Lynden ] en-
elected secretary of the Whatcom
County Fair by the directors of the
Association, and he has already TAX
en- up the work of making the 1919
exhibition the best the county has
yet seen.
NAPLES is planning to call on the
farmers in all sections of the county
to induce them to exhibit at the Fair
this year. He aims to crowd every
building on the grounds with exhib-
its of the best stock and produce that
Whatcom County raises.
This is the first year that the di-
rectors have employed secretary to

one for the association. The short
term secretary of former years did
not have the time to devote to var
ious departments that need attent-
ion at all seasons.

WILL PETITION TO LAY
SIDEWALKS ON 8TH ST.
Property Owners Along Thorough
fare To Grade School May Ask
Council For Improvement

A move to lay sidewalks on Eighth
Street from Front to the Lynder
Grade School was inaugurated Fri
day night before the City Council. A
petition will be circulate this week
among the property owners, and ar
effort made to put the improvement
through.
The improvement would be a pop.
ular one with the parents of the boys
and girls who attend the grade school
as it would ensure a safe path for
the children in wet weather. Sew
eral property owners are anxious to
see the walks Po in, and the council
is in favor Of the move.
The cost of the walks would be dis.
distributed over a period of ten years
as in the case of the Fifth Street i'm
provement, so that the assessment
would be but a few dollars annually
against each lot along the street.
