At meeting of the stockholders of the First Bank of Cordova it was de. cided to double it's capital stock, in creasing its from $25,O01 to s50.O0O This action was taken ewing to the growing business of the institution and the additional capital was i'm. mediately subscribed and paid.
 The First Bank of Cordova was es. tablished in 1909, during the pioneer days of the town, and has enjoyed a steady and consistent growth, and at the same time has kept pace with the latest banking methods, thus offering to the people of the community every banking facility that is enjoyed on the Outside, The stockholders have shown their confidence in the future prosper ity of Cordova by having recently erected the first concrete building in the Copper River valley, which is a credit both to them and this town.

NENANA FIRE SERIOUS LOSS
 TO RAILROAD

Nenana was visited by a disastrous fire which destroyed the Alaskan En- gineering commission roundhouse and machine shop, and slightly damaged the railroad water tank. The fire was discovered by the watchman, Patrick Gardner, but the alarm was turned in by James J Fallon, watchman in another part of the town. The Nenana fire department made a quick turnout, and fought hard to save the roundhouse, but the fire could not be controlled. The department then centered their work on saving the water tank, and managed to save it after a hard fight. The origin of the fire is still uncertain, but it is thought that 1t must have started from the fires inside the roundhouse. There were three locomotives in the house, two big engines and a smaller switch engine, and a fire was going in each of these. The watchman made his rounds, a short time before the fire was discovered and everything seem- ed all right at that time. The watch man then went to another part of the yard, and when he looked around the whole building was ablaze. He did not turn in the alarm at once, but tried to raise the nearby residents. and some time was lost in this man. ner. Under ordinary circumstances the locomotives could have probably been gotten out under their own steam, there being banked fires in each, but when the department reach ed the scene of the fire it was ut terly impossible to enter the building.
 The loss has been figured at be- tween $75,OOO and $1OO,OOO. The real loss, however, will be in the time lost on the railroad work The three To- comOtives could not be examined un- til later, when it was discovered that one of them could be fixed, and that the other two might possibly be repaired after a long time. The one engine, No. 270, will be on the run again in a week, according to those in charge It was one of the larger locomotives, and was full of water at the time of the fire, which is the req son it was not damaged so much as the others. One of the other locomo- tives had a little water in it, and this may be fixed up after a time, but both engines are in bad condition.
 The loss of the locomotives is severe blow to the railroad construc- tiOn work, as they are needed in carrying supplies and material for the work to the construction camps, and cannot possibly be replaced before spring, when the boats run. It is en- couraging to hear that at least one engine can be utilized, for otherwise the construction work would probably all be shut down. As it is, three gangs were laid off for a time from Camp 15 and the steel and sec tion gangs from Camp 21 More men many be laid off within a few days if the work of repairing the locomotives goes on slower than estimated.
 The roundhouse building and the machine shop did not amount to much of loss as buildings, being construct ed nearly entirely of corrugated iron, and will be easily rebuilt.
 The men in charge at Nenana are making a thorough investigation of the causes of the fire, but at present the theory that it started from a spark or fire on the inside.
