BRIDGE TURNED BACK ID CITY

Owing to the fact that the En- gineering commission is taking the piledriver to Nenana for use there in constructing docks and ware houses, the city has again taken over the bridge from the Alaska Road commission, It is also under stood that the city has agreed to operate free Terry in case the bridge goes out.
 The reason that the bridge has been turned over to the city is that the road commission does not want to be put to any further OK pense in case a freshet comes and brings down enough drift to take the structure out again. And since the bridge was installed the pile driver has been used in keeping it free of drift The removal of the piledriver from this locality there fore takes away the means of pro- tecting the bridge, and, as the ci.y Is responsible for the move, the road commission feels that it should be responsible for the bridge as well.
 The piledriver is to be returned here from Nenana Oh or before July Is. At that time it is to he used in constructing the piers for the new road commission bridge across the river at Cushman street

Leslie Bennett is down and out That is. he is lying flat on his back al St Joseph's hospital afflicted with one of those terrible diseases which even the proper climatic con- ditions sometimes fail to cure.

 The game is to be played next Sunday afternoon at Exposition park. Everything is to be donated All of the players have agreed to allow their share of the game to go into the general fund and the park com mission has agreed not to charge the players anything for the use of the park on that particular afternoon Even the baths are to be donated Dave Courtemanche having agreed not to charge the players who work that day the usual sum for their baths after the game is over.

asserted that the winter season will summer The matter of getting out ties will be part of the work undertaken, as will the construC- tion Of terminal buildings and ware houses all along the line. Mir. Ora mer also expects that considerable of the station work will be done in the winter, particularly the rock work in the Nenana country and elsewhere.
 W. C. Edes. chairman of the En. gineering commission, expects to make trip to the interior this summer. He is coming fo, the pun pose of looking over the work which has been done and to look into the matter of the purchase of the Tan ana Valley railroad The surveyed line O the government railroad runs parallel to the lccal road all ,t. way from Sheep creek 10 Fairbanks. MT. EueS IS no" III " dSnllSlol He will make a trip to the coast headquarters of the comm niSsion at Anchorage before coming to the in terior It will therefore probably be the middle of July before he arrives here.
 Negotiations have also been pend ing relative to the possible purchase by the commission of the Duke trad ing post at Nenana And having been notified by MT. Riggs in a wire from Seattle that the cOmmis- sion may use the buildings at Dukes MT. Cramer is of the opinion that the transaction has been put through or else that the post will be taken over shortly.
 The freight problem is one which is bothering the commission to a considerable extent. according to MT Cramer On the first boats leaving Seattle for Nome it was impossible to ship more than 800 tons ol freight and another 100 tons has been ship ped via Skagway and the White Pass & Yukon route, Both pas senger and freight bookings on all boats for St Michael from Seattle have been engaged for months aht ad by the commission, in order that what is needed here may be brought in from the Outside. The Ameri- can-Yukon Navigation company has been engaged to handle the interior river transportation work. having proven that they are amply abl" to do so.
 Commissioner Riggs is expected here the latter part of next month He is bringing his wife and tive children with him and henceiorth expects to make his home where his work takes him, that is, :n Fair banks. All are in Seattle at the present time. They will be accom- panied north by Mrs. Craner tn" disbursing officer having entered the ranks of the henedicts in Washing ton last winter, as was reported here. MT. and Mrs Cramer will occupy the James residence, on Ninth avenue, while the Riggs family has taken the Hurley house on lower first avenue for the summer.

Hayden, the engineer who surveyed the con tcmplated route south of the Tan commission was here will have charge of the resdency between Nenana and Broad Pass
 The most important positions un- der the residential engineers are to be filled by old employees of the commission. Howard r. Curtis will remain in charge of the commi& sary at Nenana. while w. B. Rea burn, as chief packmaster, will be in charge of all transportation. Stephen Shuman, who served as draftsman last year here. will holG Nenana. while W. J Huhback, ac- countant. and J. E.

Pellet will be chief stenographer The last three mon named will be located in the Fair banks office with Mir. Cramer and Mi Williams It is probable that there will also be several other office em- ployees.
 MT Cramer states that there will be work for every available man when the construction work starts. He made this statement whom ques toned regarding labor adding tha; he had not. received nearly as many applications for work as ne had expected upon his arrival here Wages for laborers employed by the commission direct will be from 50 cents to S5 cents per hour, de pending on the classification of the work One dollar per day will be charged all laborers for board at the commissions mess. Eight hours will be the length of the work day but MT Cramer is not now able 10 state whether work will be prose cuted on Sunday or not. There will, of course, also be number of the commissions employees who will work by the month. It is not prob able that the hiring of auy great number of men will start until Con- missioner Riggs arrives here from the Outside All of the work pos sible will be done by station work.
