BUNKHOUSE AND STOREROOM AT
 UGANIK BURNED

MT. H. V. Hoben received a telegram today from the superintendent of the Uganik cannery, belonging to num- Der of Seward businessmen, that the bunkhouse and storeroom adjoining the cannery were totally destroyed by fire.
 The crew and cannery supplies went west on the last Evans, and it was not stated whether the supplies were lost Full information as to the damage will probably be received on the return trip of the Evans Sunday.
 The loss of the bunkhouse and SUD- ply building, coming at this time, will be hard blow on the local company. as their cannery at Seward has been practically closed on account of the stringent fish regulations enforced this year, practically prohibiting fish, ing in this district.
