ROAD SOUTH OF
 NENANA NOW IN
 BEST OF SHAPE

When interviewed by represents tive of the Nenana News today rela- tive to his first ride on the main line of the government railroad to the south of Nenana. United States Marshal l.. IT. Erwin. who came to Nenana several days ago to have q general look over the district, spoke enthusiastically of the manner in which the road has been built. q don't mind telling you" the marshal said, that the road south of Nenana is big surprise to me. did not expect to find anything nearly so substantial and the roadbed is at least fifty Der cent smoother that, thot it would be. The ride which we had over the line on Saturday certainly was revelation and more enjoyable than many rides that have taken on old-established roads in the states. Your passenger coach. which is homemade affair, with out springs, actually moves over the roadbed with less jolting than many of the modern cars in which I have travelled in the states. The work. In my opinion. has been very well done"
 The chief object of the marshal in making the trip over the road was to a have look at the Burns coal mine. which is being developed by Gus Peterson and associates. He dreaded the trip just little believ- ing that he would be kept busy hold ing himself in his seat. And, as he says, he was very agreeably surprised to find the roadbed so smooth He wrs accompanied on the trip by Deputy Marshal James Hagan and Roadmast- CT W. l.. Packer
 The manner in which the coal is being mined also was revelation to the marshal-a big improvement over the methods employed in the coal mines of the south where a very large amount of the coal must be shoveled by hand after it Is knock ed down. At the Burns mine there is no shOveling. all the coal being loaded into the cars easily by means of series of slides from the stopes,
 The application of practical and efficient methods impressed the mar shal greatly and he believes 1t will not be long until the operators will be able to lay the fuel down at Nenana and elsewhere along the gov ernment railroad at reasonably low rates.
 Upon his return to town on Sat rrday afternoon. Marshal Erwin was entertained at dinner by Dr. and Ms. R. R. Myers. Last night he vas dinner guest. with Examnlinei Of Accounts R. H.
