AS an in stance, Judge Sundmacher lost the oldest license to practice law in the Territory of Alaska. which he had tackled to his office wall
 The Stewart fire department made quick run over the two-mile road between the two towns, bring ing ladders and buckets, an act which Hyder will not forget. Prao- tically the entire citizenry of Stew art came over, and assisted mater iasIy in fighting the flames. For tunately the tide was in and there was no lack of water,
 Considering all the circumstances there is an unanimous opinion that the town is very fortunate in escap- ing more serious damage, The fire started in the very heart of the most thickly populated district and that it was confined to so limited an area speaks volumns for the courage and persistency of the fire fighters and the efficiency of the Alaskan Hotel protective appara- tus, There was little or no wind, a factor OF the utmost importance, and as before stated, the flood tide furnished an abundance of water foT the bucket hrigades. The out. standing pitiful feature is the tragic death of Fred Card, an old sour dough we'll known to all the old. timers from the north, and liked for his sterling manly qualities and abounding good nature. But fer his death the fire would be passed up aS merely an incident in the history of q young mining camp.

Freight Rate
 Is Adjusted

During the stay of the Carmen in port last week a number of rep resentative business men of the town held a meeting with Captains Williams and Clary in the Hyder Aute Service headquarters and went thoroughly into the question of freight rates to this town from Seattle and Ketchikan as compared with the rates charged on the Gland Trunk boats .-..
 Captain Williams clearly outlined the situation, showing that unless he received a much larger percen. tage of the freight coming heHe he would have to take the Carmen, off the gun and substitute the Taku Il which does not compare with tEe Carmen in comfort for passengers and freight carrying capacity. The Captain offered fiat rate of SEQ per ton from Seattle and $10 from Ketchikan on all classes of freight landed at the store door. This rate from Seattle approXimates the cost on the Canadian route for the cheap est freight carried, while their rate on green goods, furniture etc is much higher.
 After considerable discussion and figuring the business men decided to throw all their freight business to Captain Williams: first, because it is good business principle and second, because he has maintained the best service possible ever since the inception of the camp, in all kinds of weather and sometimes under very adverse financial con- ditions, besides which he is right now bringing mail here six times a month, while being paid for only four tBips.

One man dead, half score in- jured-two seriously four build- ines destroyed and property loss approximatnig twelve thousand dollars, is the toll taken by a fire which, starting in the Hotel Beach about 2 o'clock last Saturday morn ing, spread with such rapidity that for time it appeared as though only miracle could save the en- tire built-up portion of the tide flats.
 The fire was caused by the explo- sion of a kerosene lamp in room 10. opposite the head of the stair way in the center of the hotel Fred Card, who lost his life, was sleeping in q front room of the building and apparently did not awaken, the flames and smeke Eacinl down the hallway ard over. towering him in bed, The pitiful remnant of his body which was found in the ashes as soon as the fire was extinguished. was under the bed springs, which had turned over as they fell from the top floor to the ground. The head and limbs were burned away and the portion of the trunk remaining was less than one foot in diameter.
 There were eleven rooms in the hotel and all were occupied. Most of the occupants lost what belong ings they had with them, some of them making their escape without 8 stitch of clothing, ah's; Helen E5tmere, who conducted the hotel, aud Lance Craine, whe occupied a lower front room and was reading, both succeeded in reaching the top hf the stairs with water but could Ao nothing toward subdueing the blaze, and had just time to get down and out of the building.
 Meanwhile the alartn had been sounded and in a very few minutes many willing workers we're helping remove the contents of other build- ings in th6 Sicihity. The Arctic Cigar Store adjoining the hotel was quickly ablaze, but most of the Stock; fixtures and deoorations vert taken out. The personal belongings On the second floor, however, Were a total loss. The law office and living quarters of c. H: Shndmacher snd the home and carpenter shop 5f Max Priebe had no possible Chance, SO the former was dyna- mited, Charlie LHnd placing two charges Which practically laid the building low ann aroused the out lying portions of the town:

of the fiBe fighting apparatus inr stalled there could have received no more severe test, and by saving the Alaskan the whole portherly and westerly part of the piled area was undoubtedly prevented from being wiped out,
 The most heroic battle with the devouFing element however occur red at the Miners Hotel. where a bucket brigade lined up and refused to give ground, though the building was ablaze time after time. Ladders were placed on the roof from the side oppoaite the fire, and water was kept on it's way up as fast as buckets could be passed. One of the ladders, on which Sam Potts, Felix Seppi and 'Holeer Johps0n were working, tore loose from the peak, and with the three men fell to the tide flats, distance of forty feet OF more. How the men escap- ed mortal injury, no one has yet succeeded in figuring out. Potts was sevesely bruised about the side and chest but no bones broken, and he was able to be around Monday. Johnson suffered severely sprain- ed ankle and will not have the use of his foot for weeks; Seppi was cut across the temple and had shoul- der injured, ,'but kept right on work ing. Upwards of a dozen were cut by glass or burned by boiIing tar that dripped from the caves. Dr. Davis of Stewart was quickly on the scene aud made the injured men comfortable. experimenting the women in attendance for the fiTst-aid measures they had taken.
 That the Miners Hotel was sav- ed is ri6 less than a miracle, as can be readily believed from its appear. ance today. The side of the build- ing is badly scorched and the foof- ing cuIled and blistered. Had the Miners gohe, the next stand would have had to be mads at the Mala- mute, as no earthly power could have saved the score of buildings that cluster to the c st and south of the hotel. Not only th1s, but the household goods that were strung out along the plahk walks would have been destroyed:

HARDING TAKES UP
RAILROAD PROBLEM
Subject Discussed Today With Two
Authorities-No Decision Made

Washington, April 1.-Questions
involved in the formulation of an
administration program to deal with
rail transportation were discussed
by President Harding today with E.
E. Clark, chairman of the inter-
state commerce commission, and R.
NJ. Barton, chairman of the railroad
labor board.
The heads Of the two government
agencies brought to the conference
at Mr.. Harding's request detailed
data about wages, rates, earnings
and other subjects. The meeting
was preliminary step to a thor
ough investigation which Mr.. Hard
ing proposes to make in the immedi-
ate future. He has let it be known
that he regards the railroad prob
lens as involving many serious fac.
tors in it's relation to general indus
trial health of the nation.
The two chairman were with the
president more than two hours but
afterwards declined to discuss the
situation or to predict what form the
administration Reconstruction pro.
gram would take. It was understood
however, that the president outlined
the purpose Of the consultation as
that of gathering information pri'
marily, and that conclusions were
not attempted.
Mr.. Harding is said to have EN-.
phasized that he desired to make NO
recommendations that might be in.
terpreted as going over the heads OF
the government agencies which deal
with the railway question.
One subject before the confer
ence was statement yesterday by
the Association of Railway Execu.
tives declaring that the principal
roads operate at loss Of more than
a million dollars during January.
This was considered in connection
with the best available information
forecasting what earnings might be
expected during the coming months,
Chairman Clark is understood to
have detailed the shipping situation
reviewing recent rate decisions of
the commission as we'll as some
which are in contemplation. From
Chairman Barton, the president re-
ceived survey Of present railroad
labor conditions.

FIND DRIVER DEAD
NEAR SPARTANBURG
Two Bullet Wounds in Head-An'
other Man Also Missing May
Be Dead.

Spartanburg, March 31.-Guy Nc
Dowell, 81 years old and public car
driver, was found dead in pasture
on the farm of J. C. Lanford, two
miles west of the city, near Camp
Wadsworth, late this afternoon with
two bullet holes in his head.
The officers are searching tonight
for Glenn Foster, another public car
driver, who was seen with Mcdowell
Tuesday afternoon. Foster has not
been seen since that time and has
not been heard from by the men,
bers of his family. The cars driven
by the men were found standing at
the railroad station here in the city
this afternoon, where, it is said, they
have been since Tuesday afternoon.
There are those who advance the
theory that Glenn Foster has also
been killed and tat his body will be
found. Foster has son Is years OF
age, who says his father left home
Tuesday afternoon with Guy Nc
Dowell walking. Other persons have
been found who saw the two men to-
gether near Spartan mills.
