Alaska. Two vessels were used by the
party, and one of them was lost while
the other reached the shores of Alaska,
near Mount st. Elias.
He told of the selection of name for
the new territory after it had been ac-
quired by the United States government.

Dickson's store. / heartily solicit
your patronage and will appreciate
any business you turn my way =
Adv. C. j. Vellek
Last Monday afternoon about
five o'clock fire broke out on the
roof OF G. j. Dickson's grain ele-
vator, doubtless started by a
spark from a passing engine, and
in ten minutes time the whole
building was in flames. For two
or three years this building has
been standing idle, Mr.. Dickson
having used the Belts elevator ad-
joining it, but it had been used by
Birkinbine & Brown who had a
quantity of wagons and farm ma
chinery stored there. A part of
the machinery was saved but the
greater part went up in smoke. A
stiff breeze from the northwest gar
ried the flames directly toward the
business part of town. Numerous
fires were set two and three blocks
away by the sparks but they were
extinguished before they made any
Roadway. Fortunately n rain had
fallen earlier in the day which
made it easier to hold the fire in
check. The freboys we're prompt
ly on the scene, but it was seen
at once that the only thing that
could be done was to prevent the
spread of the flames to the other
buildings. The Belts elevator
stood about fifteen feet away, and
this was soon burning. In spite
of the intense heat the boys work.

not until one end of the building

tably have gone, but the buildings

guished as fast as they started, 40
no material damage was done there
The Dickson elevator was insured
for enough to about cover the loss,
but the machinery burned was not
insured ard the loss to Birkinbine
& Brown was over 81, 900. A pile
of telephone poles belonging 10 the
locel telephone company were
damaged 10 the extent Of about
$500. Under the CIRCUMSTANCES
the outcOme was very fortunate,
and too much praise cannot be
given to the fire boys who certainly
earned the thanks Of the entire
town.
