Stroyed by Fire

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, oct s.

fell here for over month last
night saved Ketchikan from being
laid in ashes when the electrically

known, The fire broke out at 1850
and soon flaming torches from the
mill and lumber yards showered the
business section and residential dis
tricts of the city,
Rain lthat started shortly before
the fire aided volunteer workers in
putting out bazes that were started
almost simultaneously in several sec
tons Of the town by the sparks.
The mill flames were under con-
troll this morning. The loss has
not yet been estimated, but will
run into many thousands of dol
