FIRE AT HOSPITAL
 MAKES SMOKE BUT
 VERY LITTLE DAMAGE

For a short time yesterday St. Ann Hospital both the old and new buildings, and the new laundry build ing belonging to the institution and the St. Ann Parochial School were threatened with destruction by fire, If the department had been a few minutes later in responding, the fire would have had gained sufficient headway to. destroy the greater part of the buildings before 1t could have been eXtinguished.
 The fire started from the furnace in the new laundry building and spread to the sills and floor ioists under the laundry It has been the practice to pile wood around the furnace to dry 1t before burning and in some manner part of the wood pile fell against the furnace and caught fire.
 The flames spread and started to run along under the hospital building as a good draft was created. The smoke filled both hospital buildings and for time there was consider able excitement The damage was nominal

ONLY TWO TEACHERS
 IN SCHOOL AT sITKA

The new Sitka public school board has done all in its power to retain three teachers for their school this year. A school census taken be- fore the opening date showed a total Of seyenty-fye prospective pupils, including those of high school grade, and on this account request was made for three teachers The lack of finances was given as the reason for rejecting the proposal, and the School Board felt it neces- sary in consequence. to close the high school department. and set the minimum age limit of primary and first grade pupils at six years. The two teachers now employed have as many pupils as they can accommo- date.-( (Sitka Verstoylan)

HAULAGE CONTRACTOR THINKS ROADS SHOULD
 STAND S-T0N LOADS

JUNEAU, Oct. 21 TO the Editor In your issue of the 20th, Superin- tendent Jack Hayes takes the oppor- tunity in announcing the coming visit of Major Davison to criticise the judgment of the person hauling supplies to Nugget Creek. ! happen to be the unfortunate object of Mr. Hayes criticism.
 It is very easy to criticise the judgment of other people. Mr. Hayes should be aware that there is abundance of competition in the hauling business and stuff must be moved do not consider three tons an excessive load. If the load was reduced to auy considerable extent, the price would be 80 high per ton that perhaps there would be no use hauling. If the Tread well company will double my price, | will very willingly cut my loads in two. greatly to the satisfaction of my horses.
 Mir. Hayes has plenty of critics, but I will not be among them. ] have been, and will continue to be booster for the Alaska Road Com mission. l am familiar with the work they have accomplished here and other parts of Alaska. l can understand Mir Hayes feelings at the sight of his nice, smooth, dirt road being cut up. He thinks that the twenty odd loads that l have to haul over it are doing more dam age than all the other vehicles, horse-drawn or automobile combin- ed. My opinion is that am auto mobile will cut a dirt road a great deal more than a wagon, on ac- count of the greater traction in the driving wheels, and the speed they travel.
 went over the road to Menden- hall before l commenced to haul and it did not strike me as per fectly smooth road.
 All of which is beside the true point of the situation. No one can build good road without the ne- cessary funds. If the road shows that it is being used, and must sup port a heavy traMc, perhaps the Colonel may think that Mir Hayes should have a little more money to put the road in such a condition, that not only three-ton loads could be hauled over it, but any piece Of heavy machinery that might be needed by mining or other enter prises. I hope to see Mir. Hayes fix that road, and every road around here so that we can get over then with a road tractor and teton trail CTS. We must get mp to date with our hauling
