 The line was constructed for the use of the Alaskan Engineering commission exclusively, but in case of emergency, such as a break in the military telegraph line, the pub lie will be permitted to send mess ages over the railroad line, accord ing to a statement made to The News recently by Superintendent E R. Mcfarland. The completion of the Broad Pass line, therefore, is of much importance to Nenana, for it means continuous communication henceforth, between Nenana and the coast.
