ACCIDENT ON
 CITY FERRY

An accident to the city ferry al
 an early hour yesterday morning
 was responsible for the injury of q
 valuable horse belonging to Billy McDonough. the Pedro creek freight CT, and the stopping of the ferry ] for the entire morning while re pairs on it were being made.
 1 It seems that the accident hap pened in midstream while the boat was crossing from town to Garden Island The freighting outfit of MCDonough in charge of a teamster was on board, the wagon being loaded with light steel rails for Al Hilty.
 When the ferry was about half way across the river. the shieve on the Garden Island end broke loose, having the effect of sending the boat back to the Fairbanks side of the river It was entirely unman- ageable and hit the shore with such force that one of the rails on the wagon was thrown forward and in to the trump of one of the wheel horses of the rig. cutting the ami nal so that it will not be able to work for several weeks. and per haps the injury well be permanent.
 As soon as possible the ferrymen and the driver of the rig, put the outfit on shore and the ferryboat was laid up for repairs.
 William McGlone, who is chief fer ryman but who was not on the boat when the accident happened. stated that he has been afraid all along to trust the ferry with heavy loads on account of the fact that some parts of the old scow are rotten.

Riggs and Mears
 Leave for Coast

Having completed the work that required their personal supervision in the Fairbanks district, Thomas Riggs, Jr.. and Lieutenant Frederick the Alaska Engineering Commission, left Friday night for Ship creek. the engineering headquarters near the coast.
 Before leaving both Mir Riggs and MT Mears spoke in the most en- couraging terms of the prospects for the new railroad. and although they would say nothing in regard to what they would recommend. it seems quite certain that they will favor the Broad Pass route.
 The commissioners left on the government steamer Jacobs, which was bound up the river, and they will leave it at McCarty, where they will start overland by wagon. When they get in close proximity to the head waters of the Matanuska river, they will be met with a pack train of one of the survey parties, and that will take them down the Mata- nuska river to Ship creek.
