DOES NOT WANT TT

(By James r. Momb)

NENANA. Aug. IL. Special inter, view with Thomas Riggsr JrJ--ln response to direct question asked him tonight in regard to the change of some government institution from some other town in Interior Alaska to Fairbanks. Commissioner Thomas Rigs, Jr., stated that he had heard indirectly something in regard to the change oI the army post at Panama to either Fairbanks of Nenana. And h. further stated that the army post is no, desired at Nonana; that if it is moved to either of the two towns. it must go to Fairbanks The lat ter was the most emphatic part of his statement.
 The question asked Mr Riggs was in regard to the rumor which has lately been in circulation in Fair banks concerning the possibility that the Engineering commission headuuartcrs are shortly to be moved 10 Fairbanks from this city. His statement proves that the circulating rumor is probably connected with the possible movement of the post.

The fire burned fiercely in the interior of the building until the arrival of the fire department, being plainly visible through the windows from the Ger aghty residence. from where the alarm was sent in, and considerable damage was done by fire, water and chemical before it was finally put out. MT. Sherrard was unable last night to estimate his loss being un able to satisfactorily look over the damage done, but it will undoubtedly be considerable, chiefly for the req son that it will deprive him of the stock burned or damage by the flames. The loss, however, is par tially covered by insurance.
 No cause for the conflagration can be assigned other than spontaneous combustion. Mr. Sherrard himself was at the warehouse about o'clock yesterday afternoon for a few mo ments, but saw nothing at that time 10 indicate that the building would be gutted by fire before midnight, nor was the building wired for electric lighting The owner of the building had just put a large quantity of goods recently received from the Outside in the warehouse and had also moved to il a quantity of his stock.
