CALIFORNIA BURNED
 MAN LOSES HIS LIFE

the forward part of the building. Mir. Mckenzie was scorched about the face and head when he made an effort to save something from the ruins.
 People who saw the starting of the fire say that the building was mass of flames quicker than so many words could be said. Within few minutes time fully 12 streams of water were playing on the fire. Despite that fact. however, it looked for a time as though the grocery department of the Northern Com mercial company would also go.
 When the fire was at it's worst the thermometer stood at 30 de grees below zero The fire fighting g was therefore done under great diff ficulty by thc firemen and by the crowd of citizens who responded to the alarm and manned the noz- zles There was no wind and it is a certainty that had there been. the entire block of buildings between Rarnette and Wickersham would have been burned to the ground Even at that full control of the flames was not secured until nearly 10 o'clock last night, although it was reasonably certain that they would not spread further as early as 8 o'clock
 BODY FOUND.
 The body of George Saloff. the Russian who was burned to death was found about 10 o'clock last night, or after all signs of fire had been obliterated. It was on the floor in the rear of the building. next to the east wall. The features were charred beyond recognition but the body was not dismembered It was, however, practically cooked. although remnants of clothing still clung to it when it was taken from the ruins.
 Countrymen of the dead man state that he was in the toilet at the California when the fire started If was located on the further side of the pool room proper from where the body was found, and about the middle of the building It is there fore evident that, when the man dis covered the place was on fire, he tried to make his escape, but be- came lost in the maze of smoke
 
 ITS HISTORY.
 The California was one of the best known places in Fairbanks Built in the early days as dance hall, it had been through all of the vicissitudes of an early day north ern mining camp. For the past sev- en years it has been occupied by a saloon and pool room most of the time. It was located on one of the best corner lots in the city
 The chief articles lost in tho fire were the big electric piano. which has been fixture of the California since early days, three sets of bowling alleys and seven or eight pool tables All that was saved by the proprietors of the place was their two cash registers
 HEALEY MOVING.
 Immed iately after control of the fire was secured, Jack Healey SC cured the services of a crew of mer and started to move what stock and fixtures he could to the rooms in the Pioneer hotel last occupied by the Pioneer restaurant. He states that it is his intention to open for busi- ness Tuesday morning. It is also probable that Mckenzie and Basoff will open up in new stand, al though that fart had not been defi- nitely settled last night.

 Had the fire occurred today George l.. Bellows would have had his stock of cigars and confectionery moved from it's present stand to the unoc cupied room in the California build ing formerly the Little Gem res taurant. The only reason that the change in location did not take place a week ago is that MT. Bel lows has been in the hospital. He therefore considers that he Is lucky and emphatically expresses his ap- proval of that old saying that "lts an ill wind that blows nobody good :"
 Shortly before the fire whistle blew a man was pushing baby carriage containing his young hopeful along Front street He stopped in at a cigar store. leaving the baby carriag0 on the outside. While he was in the store the fire whistle blew and never thinking Of his baby, the man rushed the short distance to the scene of the fire and proceeded tc assist the fire fighters.
 It was not until he had been at the fire for nearly a half hour that he thought of his baby. Of course he rushed back to find it, discover ing that it had been taken into tn" cigar store and that it's poor little frozen nose was being worked on vigorously by an oldtimer of the country with a handful of snow the one known substance which is both cause and remedy for freezing
 Frank Miller, of the Miners Home saloon, on Garden Island, was iii attendance at a Montenegrin celebra- tion of some sort when the fire whistle blew. The affair was being held at the home of one of the members of the Montenegrin colony on Garden Island.
 Immediately after the fire whisu blew some urchin rushed into th' house shouting that the Miners Home was on fire. MT Miller quite naturally, became excited. He tried to find his hat but had mis placed it. When he did find it and had started toward town the glart f light occasioned by the fire made it seem certain to him that hi. place of business was burning.
 Mir Miller thereupon declared that f it was the Miners Home, he would never open another saloon AS 1t wasn't, he will probably grow Id in the business.
 One of the first persons tc reach a fire. as a usual thing is telephone lineman He comes to get the telephone fixtures out of the building before it is destroy ed. The Fairbanks Telephone G is therefore loser by yesterdays fire, as there were two phones f the California building. Nor di the Northern Commercial Co. su" ceed in getting out their meters.

LOOKING AFTER SUBMARINES.
L. =. Becoming Interested i'm PosSi-
bilitieS of Undcr-Watcr Craft

Washington, May 27.-With unof-
fetal reports indicating that half Of
the twelve submarines assigned to
participate in the war game with the
Atlantic fleet were at least partially
ineffective, Secretary Daniels to-day
announced his determination to make
a thorough investigation to find the
cause of, and, if possible, a remedy
for, the too frequent breakdowns Of
the navy's underwater craft
with the growing importance of
the submarine as an instrument of
warfare said the Secretary, 81 feel
that TOO much attention cannot be
paid to this branch of the service
The submarine is still in an expert
mental stage and the boat Of two
years ago as compared with those
now in active service abroad is prob
ably even more comparatively Obso-
lete than an automobile Of three
years ago.

if the Edison battery lives up to its
preliminary tests. The other trou-
blcs are ing eliminated with each
new dC-E.'. as the defects Of the old
designs become apparent.
"What ! am most interested in is
in finding out whether these break
downs were such as must be expect
ed in more or less experimental boats
or whether they were due to faults
Of construction that should have been
remcdicd or to defects in our sys-
tenn Of reporting and making re-
pairs. 1t is my intention to imme-
diatoly investigate this matter and
to spare no effort TO remedy anything
which is possible to being remedied.
'In the meanwhile the plans for
the 2G new submarines authorized
by the G3d Congress are being
pushed with all possible speed. Bids
will be invited for their actual con-
struction next week These boats
include two more OF the sca-going
submarines. which we are going to
try to make the last word i'm such
craft.
at must not be forgotten that all
of the submarines which have been in
trouble recently were designed be-

trenches along the road from Ablain-

Here they were subjected to
