Severe Confagratiop Occurs
 At Douglas City


 The Juneau Dispatch or october 2s says; Greene's sawmlll at Douglas was burn ed last evening. involving a loss of about si.5n. About half-past nine o'clock. it Is said. some live coals from the furnace of the sawmlll fell into a pile of shavings lying close at hand. causing a large flame to spring up. By the time the fireman of the mill had gone for assistance and returned. the flames had made incredible hcadway.
 Tanned by a heavy north wind that was prevailing at the timc. the mighty tongues of flame baffied the heroic ef- forts of the men to extinguish them.
 Seven hose lines and several bucket brigadcs accomplished nothing toward drowning the flames So the citizens. seeing the efforts futile. turned, their att tention to preserving the buildings in the near vicinity of the mill.
 The citizens were helped in this by the northwesterly wind that was blowing at the time. causing the flames to blow to- ward the bay, instead of the city. and with the exception of few cabins that flames. no other property suffered dam age or loss.
 To give an idea of how fast the struc- ture was consumed. fifteen minutes after the fire alarm was given. the entire build- ing was in an entire mass of flames, tow ering many feet skyward. causing the assembled population of Douglas to beat q retreat from the intense heat.
 At ten minutes to 10. the flames began to decline. At five minutes to 10 water was again thrown on the smouldering mass, and at 10 the last bit of. fire was ex- tinguished.
 It took just 90 minutes for the large structure to be leveled to the ground.

High Wator At Juneau

Juneau had high water as well as skag- way.
 The Dispatch of last Tuesday says: Juneau witnessed yesterday what she has not seen for years The tide rose to an exceptionally high mark. and set many boats adrift The owners had pulled their respective boats way up on the land to remain. as they thought. for the winter. but they were surprised when informed by passers by that their boats were drift ing merrily along with the north wind that was blowing at the time. and lost no time in again securing their proper ty. It is believed that this sudden and phcnominai rise of the tide is caused the heavy storms that arc prevailing at sea. This is the theory of the seafaring men about Juneau 1 %ff,tfi,M
