A Morning Blaze.

A small store house and woodshed
in the zeal of the editors home was
discovered on fire about 3.15 Wednes-
day morning. The alarm was prompt
and the whistle blew strong and the
people came from all directions to
watch the fire burn and threaten
the Knowlton barn across the way
and still the tiremen were absent. 1t
was the slowest response ever made
by the department in Canton, and
even the chemical could have put the
fire out had it been there a few min
utes before the tiremen did arrive.
The long delay Of the tiremen made
everybody nervous, and it seems this
was largely due to lack OF knowledge
OF location Of the fire plugs 1t was
indeed fortunate that there vas no
wind, else everything would have
burned. The loss to editor Linn is
about 5000, but the loss is a trifle
compared to the danger OF delay in
getting water turned on. The LEADER
would suggest that the department
find time, if possible, to practice and
drill and learn the location of the
plugs. The origin Of the fire is I'M
known, and the members of the Linn
family we're up and around the house
at 3 am. and at that time no evidence
Of a fire vas seen then.

PULP WOOD IN ALASKA

Transportation Facilities Only Nssdsd
to Open Up Enormous Eorssts.1
Another valuable item has been add
ed to Alaska's growing list Of undevel-
oped resources. Recent expert exami-
nation Of the timber In the Sushitna
basin has confirmed the belief that 1t
II pulp wood Of a high quality. The
timber Is poplar, cottonwood and
spruce, but little Of which is of COM
mercial value for lumber. The land on
which this growth stands includes the
100000 or more acres estimated -
grazing and farming land and on
which demonstrating recently began.
This area, distributed among the vari-
Gus valleys of the basin, Is for the
most part covered with q iuxuriant
growth Of wild redtop grass, with little
underbrush and only a moderate stand
of timber. 1t is obvious that with a
reasonably convenient market for pulp
wood and water transportation, Of
which there is much, The cost OF clear
ing these lands might be greatly re-
duced If not made a profit by the sale
of the timber as q byproduct.
On Kenai peninsula, along the line of
the seventy mile Alaska Central rail-
road, alone there are many thousands
Of acres Of available pulp wood, and
this will be increased with almost
every mile Of the roads extension to-
ward the Matanuska coal fields. The
value Of this supply of pulp wood in
American territory and the practicable
ity of utilizing it was first pointed out
by Levi Chubbuck of the department
Of agriculture, who visited the region
last summer. Still more recently Sena.
tor George j. Baird of Canada went in
to the Matanuska coal fields and was
greatly impressed by the vast area Of
pulp woods as well as the splendid
grazing lands they stood on. He pre-
diets the rapid settlement of this re-
g1on by farmers and cattlemen.

Another Automobile Tragedy.

WOrthing, Oct. IL.
Editor LEADER: Mr.. Hart who lived
near Worthing, met with an accident
On Saturday last which cost him his
life and all because of a careless brute
of an auto driver. While Mr.. Hart
was coming to Worthing on the run
ming gear of his wagon he was over
taken by an auto and although he
waved frantically for the driver to
stop, his signal was not needed and
the auto sped by frightening Mr..
Hart's horses SO they at once became
unmanagable and ran away, dragging
Mr.. Hart, and while at great speed
the wagon wheels passed over him
crushing him horribly. Eye witnesses
TO the accident say the driver OF the
auto never looked back but increased
the speed of his machine and went on
as rapidly as possible. Mr.. Hart who
had his little son with him on the
running gear Of the wagon had the
presence Of mind to put the boy off
and tell him to 60 to the side Of the
road out of danger when he saw that
the auto driver would not slacken
speed, and that danger was upon
them. DR.. Moore and others hurried
to the spot upon hearing Of the TRACE
dy and quickly carried Mr.. Hart to
the doctors office where everything
that could be was done for the suf-
ferer, but to no avail, and on Sunday
at noon he passed away suffering in.
tense agony until the end.
Mrs. Hart who was on a visit to rel
atives in Illinois at the time was
wired at one but came too late to
see her husband alive. Thus comes
the breaking of a once happy home,
the untimely separation Of a loving
husband and wife and a father from
his children.
1t is right and proper for convey.
ances of all kinds to use the public
highway but it Is only a coward who
will cause an accident and run away,
and w would like to see justice meet
ed out to the driver Of that auto, fol
he surely acted the coward and is a
dangerous man to be allowed to drive
a machine upon the public domain.
The funeral was held on Tuesday
at the home of the deceased and con
Quoted by Rev. Smith of Worthine
assisted by the fraternal orders OF
Odd Fellows and Masons OF which
Mr.. Hart vas a member. Interment
was in the Canton cemetery.
