BIG SCARE
 WITH \
 JUST CAUSE
Brisk Blaze Threatened 10 Repeat The WrangeIl Calamity of
 March A, 1906

Saturday morning last just after peo- pie had finished breakfast and an east wind was almost reaching a gale, the mournful tones of the fire bell aroused all to hasty action. "Where is it?" was the cry. But glance down the main street was sufficient to answer the ques. tion, as black clouds of smoke and red tongues of flame were issuing from the top of the St. Michael store building. It looked pretty nasty; but prompt ac- ton on the part of firemen and citizens with the Babcock extinguishers a-d buckets with line formed to the beach had the blaze under control, and people breathed easier.
 The fire WAS the result of lighted candle left in small room occupied by Leo Mccormack, when the young man arose in the morning. The candle evi- den.ly burned low and caught in the building. John schuler was the first to discover it, and when he and Mir. Me- Cormack burst open the door they were met by sheet of flame that scorched their faces snd almost drove them from the building. But by persistent effort they deadened the seat of the fire with several buckets of water and it was held in check until help arrived and the de- stroyer was snbdued.
 Thus was averted a second calamity within year, as, had these two build ings burned. the Red Mems building across the street, the big brewery build ing, the Cassiar and all would have gone and very probably all of the buildings erected the past season would have been consumed as before, with the stiff gale that was sweeping down the street, and no apparatus with which to com bat the flames had they gotten beyond control. And thus ended what promised at first to be one of the most disastrous conha- grations in the towns history.
 The loss to the St. Michael people is estimated by MT. Mccormack to be | about $500, damage to building, removal of goods, etc.. and they feel very thank ful to have escaped with no greater loss. 1 The west side of Mir. Grsif's building was scorched little, but the loss is nominal.

SOME ALASKAN PROVISIONS

Important recommendations for river and harbor work in Alaska have been made by the rivers and harbors commit tee and this years bill will probably authorize survey of Dry Straits, with the view of improving this route as an alternative channel to be used instead of Wrangell Narrows One of the most i'm portant projects ever contemplated for waterway improvement in Alaska has cen favorably reported by Capt. P. G. Pillsbury of the corps of engineers, and has been indorsed by General Mckenzie, chief of engineers. The report. with Gen. McKenzie's indorsement was sent to congress, giving the result of the pre- liminary suryey ol the proposed canal to connect St. Michael with the Yukon River. The construction Of IA.s canal would obviate the hazardous voyages across Boring Sea between St. Michael and the mouth of the Yukon and the scheme has been urged for years by commercial interests. General NcKen- zie's indorsement of the report is as follows: "The entire supply of the in terior of Alaska is carried by boats ply ing on the Yukon River. The only known available point where G4erchzI- disc can be transferred from sea-going vessels to river boats Is St Michael. The object of the improvement contem plated is to provide the smaller boats a more protected navigation between St Michael and the Yukon River about seventy miles Capt fii,-blry estimates that channel six feet deep and l00 feet wide can be secured through the St. Michael canal at cost of $24s00O O"-DI.Newe.
