WRANGELL HAS ANOTHER FIRE

Under the above "scare head" the Juneau Record-Miner publishes the fol- lowing glowing account of our little fire of two weeks ago. It is dated at Wran gell, January 26:
 "This town narrowly escaped being destroyed by fire this morning. A live ly blaze was discovered in the Greif building and before it could be extin- guished the fire had gained such head way that the whole town was threat ened with destruction. A high wind was blowing, and this, coupled with a shortage of water, made fire fighting very difficult
 Everybody in town responded when the alarm was sounded. The fire which wiped out the town in March, 1906, was still fresh in the memory of residents, and all turned to with will to prevent a repetition of that disaster.
 The fire proved to De very stubborn one, but after six hours of constant fighting it was at last subdued. The flames were almost entirely confined to the Greif building. Such other damage az was done was caused by sparks, which was the greatest danger to the rest of the town.
 The Greif building was one of the old, est in the town. It was owned by Bruno Greif, who came to Wrangell nearly 40 years ago, and was used as saloon and lodging house. It was one of the larg- est structures in the town, being about 40x100 feet and two stories high. Mir. Greif says he will rebuild at once.
 The fire started from an averheated stove pipe on the lower floor. All the lumber in the building was as dry as finder and the flames spread with great rapidity. No estimate of the loss has been made, but Mir. Greif will lose all most all ef his stock and fixtures
 It seems that one must go away from home to learn the news. SENTINEL's s impressions of this fire were about as follows: Fire was in St. Michael Trading Go. building; duration of fire, thirty minutes; damage, furniture burned and hole burned in roof, repaired same day i; Greif came to WrangelI about 1896; fire started from a spent candle left burning in bedroom on second floor; loss esti- mated at about $5O0.

A Chataniks miner got iobbed by na- ture in good shape. He is operating near the mouth of Cleary Creek. One day when the temperature was so low the thermometers went out on strike, he put in thaw, or rather, continued one he had started, for the points were set. All day long he fired the little boiler. He noticed that no great deal of wood was being used, and steam was easy to make and hold. In fact the little ma chine was blowing off every few minutes. At six o'clock be blew the whistle and was apparently well satisfied with his days work. What was his astonish ment to find on examination that the points were frozen into the ground. A little more investigation showed the feed pipe to be frozen to within ten feet of the boiler.
 A Wrangell man had died and gone to heaven. Upon his arrival at the gate St. Peter asked him his name and ad- dress, which were given. St Peter con- suited the records and found that the man was entitled to enter, but informed him that a crowd from Ketchikan-who had starved to death on account of the prohibitive prices charged by their home merchants-had just arrived, and that he could not get berth unless he could get one or two of them to come outside. The Wrangellite asked St. Peter to open wide the gate, and, this being done, he yelled at the top of his voice the one word Steamboat !' and the Ketchikan contingent fell over one another in their eagerness to get out.
 A neighbor of Elmer Prescott tells this on his Is year.old son: The day after the baby arrived at Preseott's, the man aforesaid was telling bis wife, in the presence of the boy, that the "stork" had been to visit their neighbor. That day the boy got down hls 22 rifle and began shooting at marks. When asked why he did this, his reply was ''These  dog-goned storks are getting just little too close to our house, and Pm going to shoot if they get any closer" So Mr. StoTk had best look out, for that boy is strictly honest and always means just what he says.
 Some time ago the Treadwell company threatened that if the powder trust did not treat the company fair in the mat ter of prices that they wculd put in their own powder plant in Alaska. Later two brothers started a powder plant near Wrangell Now it is alleged that a com pany has been incorporated under the laws of Washington to put in powder plant near Juneau. The advices fail to state just who are the promoters of the scheme. With the large mines using homemade powder it would make a profitable ncss.-Dispatch. That Wrangell factory was never started.

Be careful when you stIike those big red-headed matches. When they are scratched, part of the fire often flies several feet and might be the cause of doing much damage.
