Representative Kittrell of Laurens
is not a prize winner when it comes

failure.

Movement Co Operative.
 Tha 216 creditors. whose claims aggregate $45O.O00 are bound that they shall be as one body and that thet.r movements to collect their claims against the committee shall be so-ordinated, hence the inception of the Creditors committee. The move to force action on the island venture which went into voluntary receiEerShip some time ago, to pro- tect the interests of Cer;ain COnceS- stna~ies who stood to lose Iargs sums Of money invested, is entirely cO-op- eratiEe. 1t was declared today
 However, the plan that the com mfttee discussed yesterday may not meet with favor of some of the cred itors who are insis1ent that their de- mands be met with immediately or they will bring about a forced sale of assets. The indignant creditors attacked the management Of the island under the Ingerson cOnStruc- ton company and they have declar- ed in no uncertain terms that the island shall not continue as an am usement resort under present man agemet. which they claim is respon- s3hle for the precarious condition that Pleasure Island is now In.,
 Overhead Too Large
 Another fault pointed out by the creditors is that the overhead of the island is entirely too large for safety and for the amount of revenue taken in. Failure of the management to act Automatically in several In- stances was also attacked. These concerned the renting of the island fer field day purposes.
 The overhead, it was pointed out was SO large that there was little or no profit left with which to meet 5he claims of some of the creditors this past season. The mana cement h 3d some hard luck. Despite the fact that inc first wear of business. was in the period of depression Dur ing its second season there were 55 rainy days
 It was the opinion of members of the committee yesterday that the of fer of 20 cents on the dollar for their claims payable not later than Oct. 1, 1926 would not do. The sinking fund for early retirement is deemed more pra CtiCal.
 Some creditors are so angry they prefer to lose dividends on their claims, rather than see the island CCntinusd under the Ingerson man agement

 ANCHORAGE, Feb. 7-An entire block in the business section of this city narrowly escaped destruction by fire this morning and it was only through the combined efforts of the entire populace that the flames were confined to the five buildings which were reduced to ashes.
 The fire started in the kitchen of the Royal Cafe at 8:45, and spread rapidly to the east and west. There was very little wind at the time, but the buildings were so close to- gether that it was impossible to hold the flames within bounds. Going up Fourth avenue in one direction, the fire soon reached the Brown & Hawkins building, on the corner, where it's progress was halted by a galvanized iron wall. Considerable damage also was done in the other direction, but the flames were stop- ped some distance from the corner occupied by the Bayles Clothing Store.

EARLY MORNING BLAZE CAUSES
 SEVERE LOSS TO ANCHORAGITES

Logeman Studio, the Carlquist jew elry store, the Nichols jewelry store, the North Pole Bakery, the quarters of Peyser, the tailor, Palace of Sweets and Central Barber Shop. Of the five building destroyed, two were two-story structures, one of them being the Royal Cafe building and the other was occupied jointly by Peyser and the Palace of Sweets.
 The business places in direct line of the fire, but which escaped de- struction, included the Okay Barber Shop, Java Inn, J. E. Chovin, Ava Rolf & Brown, Loussac's and the Bayles building.
 The fire burned for three hours and during that time the rest of the business section was constantly menaced by embers, which fioated for a distance of three blocks, Had the wind been blowing at the time, there is no telling where the fire would have stopped. As it is, the loss is a severe one, although not yet estimated.
 The cook in the Royal Cafe was badly burned while trying to ex- tinguish the fire.
