ANOTHER NIGHT FIRE

ntfUEttLH StfOtti ] lila
Fire Bell Sounds At 1870 At Night
and Exeites Nervous People-Loss
to Building and Store over $500,
Covered BY Observation-Disclosures
Work Of the Firemen.
Fire started in some mysterious
manner or other shortly after eleven
o'clock Friday night in the Everett
Compton grocery store in Mr. c. J..
Clusters house. corner Of West ste
phen street and Virginia avenue, that
for a little while threatened the de-
struction Of the building.
When the Ryneal firemen arrived
at the house and broke open the back
store door they found pretty good
sized store box full of matches In the
southwest corner of the store room
all ablaze, and it is supposed that the
fire started there. presumably caused
by a mouse nibbling at the matches.
The store room was damaged to the
extent of between $500 and $500 by
fire, water and smoke, while Mr..
Comptons stock was damaged for a
like amount, both losses covered by
insurance.
About quarter after II o'clock Mr..
Custer. who had retired shortly be
eo,.o I,uo.d eo,natbfng dron in tho
store under his bedroom, and a mo-
ment later he heard a similar sound.
He remarked about it to his wife, who
had not yet gone to bed, and both
thought there might be robbers in
the store below. When covering
over a register in the floor was lifted
smoke shot up through it and then
tsthey knew there was IRE in the house
Mrs Custer hurried TO a neighbor's
house, and phoned in the fire alarm,
not being able to get to the telephone
in the Compton store room as the
door was locked.
The fire bell en- the Market House
sounded about 1870 and startled peo.
pie as usual, especially as the wind
was blowing a gale at the time Ry-
meals responded with their chemical
wagon and soon had line of hose
playing on the flames. Hose Co No.
8 also responded but We're not put in
service. Ii did not take very long to
extinguish the flames; but there was
sone present danger TO men and build
ing, while the fire was in progress.
Right close to where the fire started
was 60-gallon coal oil tank; and il
this had exploded another sort of a
fire would have to be ehronicled
The plastering on the ceiling of the
store room was pretty badly cracked
by the heat while glass is broken out
}of doors and windows, the walls and
Woodwork colored by smoke and the
floor soaked with water Mr., Comp
tons stock of goods is, of course, bad
ly damaged by smoke and water
though as a matter of fact very little
in the room was actually destroyed
The store is closed today, and as soon
as the fire loss is adjusted Mr. Comp
ton will open up again. AS usual The
fremen CALAMITY prevented spread
of the flames.
Mr.. Custer conducted a store there
for number of years; but year ago
he sold out TO Mr.. Compton, residing
on Winchester avenue, who came here
a couple or more years ago from Fred
ericksburg, Va.

Office Building
 To Be Erected

The Malony, Hill and Wilhelm prop erty on Seward street is to have eX- tensive and expensive improvements made on it in the very near future, The entire Seward street frontage, TOO feet, is to have the second story added It is designed to make this a very modern office building.
 There will be a Seward street en- trance at a convenient point and a large hall running full length of the building. Every office will have di- rect sunlight. The construction work is to be modern in every respect. The owners are determined to make of his one of the most desirable office buildings in the city. The building is to have a steam heating system.
 Mir. Lloyd G. Hill is one of the owners in this property and will be leaving for the East about March l, and during his absence Mir. L. T. Mer- rv who will be in charge of the of fees in this city will prepare the plans for the new building. It is expected to begin operations about April 1. Upon MT. Hilrs return it is very probable that another very i'm portant building will be erected, the plans of which Mir. Merry is now work ing out.

WILL EXTEND
 WATER MAINS

Mayor II. A. Bishop, who returned on the Jefferson last night from bus, mess visit in Seattle and San Fran, cisco, said today that the four-inch water main on Franklin street to the City dock. would be replaced by a ten.inch main. He also discussed with R. F. Lewis, the owner of the local water works, the advisability of extending the mains on other streets, and in the increase of the present res eryoir capacity
 In Seattle Mayor Bishop contracted for the necessary lumber for the eX- tension of the City dock and for floor ing for the cold storage plant. He met Oliver Orange while in Seattle, Mir. Orange says that the necessary ar. engagements have been made for the early completion of the cold storage plant at Juneau. Mayor Bishop also ordered from the Goodyear Rubber Company a monitor nozzel for the fire boat. The fire pump is on the way here. He also ordered from Chicago four dozen fine opera chairs for the ElEs club.

MONIES TRADE WITH
 THE SIBERIAN COAST

The trade of Nome with Siberia dur lng the past year amounted to $115,- OOO, or almost exactly to the same sum as the trade of the year 1911. Two years ago the trade was greater but the falling off is due to the efforts now being made by Russian traders to obtain some of the benefits from the growing importance of the Siber' ian coast opposite Nome.
 It has been said that even Russian warships make the most of their op' portunities by engaging in little trade on their own account. Once it was said that Russian war vessels crew had sold hootch to the natives in the course of their trading, but this story lacks the evidence that would be re- cuired to give the story a good foun- dation.
 The extent of the trade with Siberia if that territory is opened will be of the utmost importance to Nome, trad CTS generally believe. Now with Si' beria in it's industrial infancy its trade with Nome amounts to about $50 per head of the population of the city of Nome.

CLARK PROPERTY
 CHANGES HANDS

Yesterday William Burns obtained a ten-year lease on the Clark proper ty on Franklin street, adjoining the Germania. The present tenants were immediately served with notice to move. The building is to be entirely remodeled. The front will be extend ed out to the street line and the en- tire lower floor converted into mod ern commercial or store room. It is expected to have the building remod- eled and fit for occupancy by March I5.
 Mir. Burns in the days of '9S was To- cated at Circle City and is of course we'll known to all the old timers. He has been in Juneau for the past sev- eraI weeks looking the place over with view of settling here provided the business outlook warranted it and a suitable location for business and resi- dence could be found. Mir Burns feels elated over securing the property in question and believes that Juneau has great future.

.SIN-THRA-ZWAK IS NOME
 TITLE GIVEN BY NATIVES

Here Nome has been living in a false paradise for several years never doubling for moment it's own per feet loveliness of character while all the time a great portion of its popu, Iation called name which trans lated means the very opposite of what we had believed ourselves to be, says the Nugget
 Sin.thra-zwak is the name by which the Eskimos know the fair city and Sin-thra-zwak means, purely and sim ply and literally, "Something crooked '
 The Eskimo language has been full ly mastered by a resident of Nome and it's grammar arranged and vocabu- lary compiled. One very remarkable feature about the language is that be- sides Greek, it is the only tongue which has a dual case, It will say one man" three or four men" but when speaking about two it changes the form of the noun, and as an example, man or men might become mon"
 Snake river has no particular name, When alluding to any stream the Els. kimo simply says "the river" which in his own language is "kook. "Kook uk" is big river and by that word they speak of the Yukon. The "Ko' bulk" probably received it's name that way also.
 sledge island is pronounced "i-a," Two words are used for snow, or rather two accommodations for the same word. They. are "apm" and "avun." "See-gug" is ice.
 No one seems, to know how Nome first got the name of being something crooked" There is still hope that our own fellow citizens did not mean the description as a reflection upon our moral character. The name may after all have been suggested by the contour of some of our streets par ticularly in the suburb so much ire uuented by our critics.

ALASKA REINDEER
 PAYING PROPOSITION

WASHINGTON, Feb. Il. - Three hundred and twelve per cent is the value of the increase in the reindeer herds of Alaska since they were brought to the North a few years ago.
 Figuring on the market price of the animals now in Alaska, their value figures up to the sum of $965,OOO. The reindeer herds are multiplying rap- idly and will soon be the general supply of food for Alaska with large quantities of export It is believed that the reindeer meat vii ultimately take the place of beef in many dis tricts, and it is easy to conceive of a time when the packers will place the cured and canned meats of these an imals of the ranges and ranches which are becoming scarce.

.HEIFNER TO GET
 GEO. TURNER'S JOB

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. F. - National Democratic leaders close to President-elect Wilson have prepared pair of rollers for former Senator George Turner of Spokane, to be ap- piled soon after March I, in rcmov- ing Turner from the international boundary commission, thus creating a place for Charles G. Heifner, of Se- attle, Wilson leader in Washington State during the pre.convention cam paign.
 Turner is to be punished for his ef- forts in behalf of Champ Clark at Bal. timore by losing his place, which pays $7,5OO year.
 Investigation by Democrats conyinc- es them the change can be made i'm mediately by the new president. Heif- ner is now in New York and is hold ing occasional conferences with the President.elect.

YUKON GOLD COMPANY
 GETS WATER RIGHT

A water right claim was filed early last week by which the Yukon Gold Company appropriates 4,OOO miners inches of water flowing into Otter creek near the mouth of Flat creek for the purpose of furnishing power for mining operations on Flat and Otter creeks. The right claimed starts from point on the right limit of Otter near the mouth of Flat and runs in northerly direction for about three miles to the power plants. The claim also states that the water is to be con veyed either by ditch, Hume, or pipe. -Iditarod Pioneer.

COMMERCIAL CLUB TALKS OF
 MANY IMPORTANT MATTERS

of Juneau. Mir. Fisher is a member oi the school board. This subject brought about good deal of discussion. Sen ator Tripp. who is also member of the school board, spoke very earnest, Iy on the subject. He said that there was an absolute necessity of erecting new school building at once; that he was in favor of making it first class. something that would be cred, it to the city; it should be used as a high school and the old building turned over to the lower grades un- tiI such time as it could be torn down and better building erected. The
 present building was characterized as a ramshackle barn. Dave Epsteyn, Harry Fisher. Gus Messerschmidt, II. P. Crowther. Sidney Smith and Coun- cilman WoIland also spoke on the sub iect. The last named said that the city council would undoubtedly have to do that which is necessary in pro- yiding ways and means for the new building. Sidney Smith then moved that a committee be appointed to take the matter up with the school board. The chair appointed H. P. Crowther, Gus Messerschmidt, and Charles E. Hooker.
 At the request of H. p. Crowther, President Reck called a special meet ing of the club to hear the report of the school building committee.
 Sidney Smith made an eloquent ad- dress on the advantage of Juneau be, ing connected up with the new Mar conf wireless system reaching from Yakutat Yakutat to San Francisco. He said that he had led the Marconi people to understand that Juneau would welcome the installation of a modern plant in Juneau and he asked that the club back up his promise by not allowing the Marconi people to become the victims of a holdup by real estate owners when they ask for a spot on which to erect their wireless apparatus. Mir. Smith gave brief ac- count of the working of the splendid new station at Jualin He said that his station could communicate with Prince Rupert. Astoria, and Sitka, but not with Juneau. because the latter sta ton was inefficient-he could talk 500 miles, but not 40. The practical use of his station was limited on ac. count of the present isolation of Ju- ueau.

JUDGE MORFORD ON
 ALASKA RAILROADS

Judge and Mrs. $. O. Moriord, of Seward. who have been in Juneau for the past few days. will be leaving for the South on the Jefferson. The Judge has been attorney for the Alaska Northern Railroad Company ever since it's first construction and under all it's different company organizations and managements.
 Judge Morford says that the people of Seward are looking forward 60 the new administration for relief from the present intolerable conditions. It is of small import. the Judge says, wheth- er the government builds railroads or not if it wil only lift the embargo against private development of the countrv's resources. Railroads will be built by private cap al if the gor- erument will only permit the develop ment of the mines and other resourc- es so that tonnage can be offered.
 If the coal back of Seward is al- lowed to be opened up, then the place will immediately spring into great ac- tiyity: otherwise the people will have to depend entirely on the gold mining adjacent to the town. There is quite n little activity along this line now. Within miles of town there are at the present time four paying mines opened up. Stampmills have been op' erated on three of them and the fourth mill is to be erected during the com ing summer.
 Seward, the Judge says, is an ideal place in which to live. The climate is mid during the winter the tenn perature never falling lower than 12 below zero and the summers are beau tiful. The place is very healthfuL There has been but one death amongst children in the past ten years.
 The Judge and Mrs. Morford will leave on the Jefferson tonight for Sc atte. It is their intention to return to Seward on March 10.
