BRIDGE TO BE BUILT
 ACROSS THE NIZlNA

When interviewed on the Nor Ihwcstcrn, Colonel Richardson gave some satisfactory informa- tion concerning the work to be done in this section of Alaska. He gave positive assurance that the trcacherous Nazina river was to be bridged this winter. The structure will be erected at a point near the canyon, about three miles from Mccarthy, or Mile t9I. The approach and bridge will bc about 800 feet long and will cost $22,00O. As it. will not be pos sible to place the piers ntil the water is low, active work will moi start until fall, although the ma lerial will all be assembled at the end of the railroad ready for frcighting to the desired location when the ground freezes.
 Colonel Richardson stalcs that the Uniicd States transport Sher- idan will Dc here in the course of a couple of weeks on it's annual visit tn the various military sta lions on the coast of Alaska. Col oncl Richardson expects to sail on the Sheridan from Valdez on June 20 and gn to Nome.

AIDING ICE-BOUND VESSELS.
Fleet of Five Tugs Take Barges
From Alexandria.

The new tug Calvert. which went into
commission last week. and the tug
Dixie of the Southern Transportation
Company's fleet arrived at Alexandria
yesterday morning for the purpose of
aiding in getting out a large fleet of
barges and three tugs which had been
icebound at Alexandria for over a
month. and which had made several in
effectual efforts to get away. but found
the ice too heavy to cope with. The
five tugs. Calvert. Dixie, Bohemia, For
tuna and Southern, with ten light
barges in tow, started down the river,
the iron-hu1led boats Calvert and Be-
hernia in front to break the way, and
the other tugs towing the barges. and
yesterday afternoon they were out of
sight below Fort Washington.
1t is stated that this is the first time
cation that such fleet of big towboats
was ever used to move barges. Even
with all this power, it is predicted
along the river front, they will have a
hard time getting the tow to clear
water, as the heaviest part of the ice
is found in the course of twenty-five
miles below Fort Washington.
The entire fleet of barges brought
coal to this city and Alexandria before
the first of the year, and the freeze
imprisoned them. 1t has been over a
month since they were taken from
Georgetown to Alexandria. where they
have remained until this time.

DREDGING COMPANIES IDLE.
Ice in River Forces Them to Tenn
porarily Cease Operations.

The companies operating sand and
gravel digging machines on the Potomac
river, all of which were forced to dis
continue operations on account of the
heavy ice, are taking advantage of the
enforced lay up of their vessels to over
haul them and put them in trim for
returning to work the middle of March,
or as soon as the ice is out of the
river and all danger of it again ffeez-
ing this season has passed. The Potomac
Sand and Gravel Company and the CO.
lumbia Granite and Dredging Company
are overhauling their machines and light
ers on the Eastern branch and at George
town, and the Smoot Sand Company has
one Of it's big machines out on the marine
railway at Alexandria being rebuilt, and
and lighters belonging to the companies
are also being overhauled there.
The sand and gravel digging industry is
one of the most important on the PotO-
mac. as it keeps six or eight digging ma
chimes. ten tugboats and a big fleet of
lighters constantly employed in taking
the material from the bed of the river,
between this city and Glaymont and
in bringing it to the market here. On
the vessels and in the sand yards about
the city several hundred men find en-
ployment. Most Of them, however, are
now out of work on account of the ice
bound condition of the river.

Work About Completed and Channel
Excavations to Begin Soon.

The work of overhauling the dredge
Dewey, belonging to the Sanford &
Brooks Company of Baltimore. which
has been in progress at an Eastern
branch wharf for the past six weeks. is
practically completed, and as soon as the
ice conditions will permit it is under
stood she will be started upon the dredg-
ing work on the Western branch the
contract for which was awarded to her
owners about month ago.
Under this contract the Dewey will dig
and pump on the flats $1,000 cubic yards
Of material from the Eastern branch
channels and the material now being
taken out at the site of the new bureau
of engraving and printing will also DO
taken to the Eastern branch and dumped
where the Dewey will pick it up and
send it ashore. Two or three months
will be required to complete the con-
tract for dredging work in the branch,
but the excavation of the site of the
bureau will, it is said. require a longer
time than this, and the Dewey will be
kept in local waters until it is completed.
In preparation for the Eastern branch
work Sanford & Brooks Of Baltimore
have placed a contract with Weber &
Thomas Of this city for the construction
of a thousand feet of the big iron pipe
to be blown upon the flats. The work of
rolling the heavy iron. out of which
these pipes will be made, has been
started, and they will be ready for de-
livery about the time the dredge begins
operation.

WILL RECONSTRUCT TUG.
Engine and Machinery to Be Re.
moved From the Morris L. Keen.

The harbor tugboat Morris L. Keen,
owned by the Maryland Transportation
Company of Baltimore, has seen her last
days of usefulness as tugboat, though
her hull may be converted into a small
lighter or power boat. The tug recently
sunk in Baltimore harbor and after be-
ing raised by wreckers was placed on the
Chesapeake Marine Railway, where it is
stated her engine and other machinery
will be removed and some disposition
made of the hull.
The Keen, though she has been giving
efficient service, was about half CEN
fury old. having been built at Philadel-
phia early in the COS. She registered Il
gross tons and was 1919 feet long, 12.o
feet beam and 5.3 feet deep.

OYSTER BOAT SUNK.
Damage by Ice Causes the Schooner
Bessie Ford to Founder.

The little two-masted oyster schooner
Bessie Ford, one of the regular oyster
runners to this city, and which has been
towing through the ice since the freeze
began, is reported sunk in the Wicomico
river, the result of injuries she received
in being towed from this city to Rock
Point. The little craft had brought
big cargo of oysters and her master had
done SO well with them that he was
anxious to get down the river and back
again before the thaw came. He arrang-
ed to tow out with the schooner Halle
X, and the sloop Enola. about week
ago. The vessels were delivered in the
Wicomico by the tug Davis, and ii was
found that all of them had been damaged
by the ice, but the bumps the Ford re-
ceived had started her to leaking so
much that her pumps could not keep her
afoat. 1t is stated that she is lying in
position from which she can be raised
and taken to a shipyard for repairs. She
will probably be in service again in the
spring.

ARGUE HANDBOOK CASES.
Demurrers Have Been Filed to Pc
lice Court Informations.

Arguments on demurrers to two infor-
nations against Joseph Walker, alleging
the acceptance of handbook bets last
May. were made before Judge Pugh in
the Police Court yesterday, the principal
points argued being insufficiency of de-
scription as to where the races were run,
the horses on which the bets were placed
and the character of the alleged bets
The court took the matter under advise
ment.
THE decision upon these demurrers
will either pave the way for a speedy
trial for practically all pending hand
book cases or will necessitate an entirely
different procedure on the part of the
government than has been followed in
the past. If the demurrer is sustained,
there is no telling when the pending
cases will be disposed off, said Assistant
United States Attorney Ralph Given.

SLUMP IN EGGS CHECKED.
Prices Recovered Somewhat From
the Drop of Friday.

from the drop they suffered Friday.
The retail quotations were decidedly
uniform, being 81 cents for storage
eggs and 40 cents for the nearby prod
uct.
The dealers said the cause of the de-
cline was increased receipts from the
surrounding country. Private pro-
ducers, of whom there are many around
Washington, continued to sell their
eggs for III and ~ cents. There are
poultry associations in nearly all of
the suburbs. Falls Church has a
1ourishing association of that sort.
The members nearly all sell their eggs
to consumers and get little more
than the regular market price.
