OLD GORDON PI ANT BEING
 DISMANTl,E.D

Work was commenced yesterday on the dismantling Of the old Gordon electric lighting plant on Third ave nue. The building is to be taken down and the lumber shipped to Nenana. The machinery is to be dis mantled and stored here
 The Northern Commercial company is the owner of both building and machinery. George A. Coleman, To- cal superintendent of the company, stated last night that the lumber will be used in putting up the company's new post at Nenana. It was neces sary to take the building down for the reason that it is now impossible to procure seasoned lumber in In terior Alaska at present. no lumber other than that cut this spring from green timber being available any where.
 The building and machinery was purchased from F. s. Gordon by the N c. company in the fall of 1911 Prior to that time it was in use for approximately year by what was known as the Independent Light company.
