Fire Is Put Out by
 Good English Beer

LONDON, Aug. 10.-Owing to the long drought there was no water available nearer than 20 miles when fire broke out in an inn at Beacon's Bottom in Buckinghamshire
 As result the flames had to be extinguished with nine and half gallons of good English beer and a two gallon cask of ginger beer from the inn cellar.
 This left only five quarts of beer to reward the volunteer firemen who conquered the blaze. The last record ed occasion when beer was used as fire extinguisher was more than a century ago, when there was fire in the Temple cellars in London, at the close of which the Lord Mayor had to be helped home.

Teachers Must Be Given
 Better Salaries; Reasons

BOSTON, Aug. 1O.--Low wages for teachers were characterized as "the greatest disgrace which America bears and the deepest insult offered to any child anywhere" by John J. Tigert, United States Commissioner of Education, in addressing the New England Vocational Guidance Asso- citation at Harvard University. He added that unless the American peo- pie are willing to work out some kind of scheme to secure sufficient revenue to pay our men and women teachers at least as much as they do delivery boys, laborersi or scayen- gers, none need be surprised if the temple of freedom is destroyed by a babel of ignorance"
 He said the average adult Ameri- can was possessed only of sixth grade education.

JOHN |. CARLSON IS DEAD. AFTER
 SHORT ILLNESS
Veteran Canneryman Suc- cumbs at St Ann s Hospital
 at 10 O'Clock Last Night.


 John l.. Carlson, veteran cannery man of the North, died of acute uraemia at St. Ann's Hospital at 10 o'clock last night after an illness of less than two days. MT. Carlson was well at o'clock Monday morning when a watchman visited his room to build a fire. At o'clock he was heard grooming and was found stretched across his bed suffering intensely. He was taken to St. Ann's Hospital from his apartment at Aux Harbor and up until yesterday noon it was thought that his recovery would be rapid. Uraemia started and he lived but a few hours. Ha
 Life History
 Mr. Carlson was born at Stock holm, Sweden, December g, 1847 He came to America in 1874 and shortly afterwards located at Astoria, Ore. and followed his trade of sailor and fisherman for many years. He after wards went into business and was successful
 In 1900 he came North and started salmon cannery at Carlson Creek in Taku Inlet, one of the first can, neries in this section of Alaska. He operated this plant for three sea sons, then two years at the Chilkat cannery, leasing it for one year and operating it for one year for the com pany.
 In 1906 he went to Taku Harbor and from that time until 1918 oper- ated the cannery there By this time his name had become known all over the North and he made of the Taku Harbor plant the model for most of the successful canneries in Alaska.
 In 1918 he sold out his Taku liar. bor cannery to the Libby, McNeil & Libby Company for approximately a half million dollars and expected to take life easy from then on. His love of the work and of Alaska was so intense that he could not stay out of the cannery game, so he erected another plant at Aux Harbor, few miles north of Juneau, and jumped actively into harness again and was at it until he was taken sick with his last illness. The last converse .tion he had Monday morning was giving orders about cannery affairs.
 Six Children Survive
 Mir Carlson is survived by six chil dren, three boys and three girls and u,p,a aro,,o orapdobiJdrop Tho only one here at the present time is his son, w. o. Carlson, who was with him at Aux Harbor and who also has a cannery there. The other children, all well known in the North, are the two other boys, A. J. and L.. J. Carlson, Mrs. Joseph Stocks, Mrs. George Garfield and Miss Esther Carlson, all of Seattle.
 w. o. Carlson will accompany the remains of his father to Seattle, leaving on the steamer Northwestern Friday. The funeral will be either at Seattle or Astoria under the direc- tion of the Elks. MT. Carlson was a life member of the Juneau Lodge of Elks.
 Best Beloved
 When the news that John L. C." was dead was known, there were more expressions of sorrow heard in Juneau than there has been over any similar event of many years. He was the grand old man of the Alaska cannery business. Shrewd in his line of business. he was still open hearted with everyone. Ever since he had a cannery anyone was vel come any time at his plants for a
