FIRE THREATENS
 DESTRUCTION OF
 STEWART HOTEL

The probable total destruct-. ion of the Stewart Hotel, one of Stewards leading hostelries, Twas narrowly averted Wednes- day afternoon with the timely discovery of 8 hot blaze in the furnace room in the rear
 of the ball room. The origin of the fire is not definitely de- termined but is believed to have been due to defective electric wiring. That the Spac- 'cious building and valuable ad- joining properties were not swept away in a whirl of flame
 was undoubtedly due to the
 highly efficient work of the volunteer fire department and Icitizens. When discovered by Jack Taylor, the fire had made Considerable headway and by the time the fire fighters ar ried with the chemicals and hose dense masses of smoke
 were rolling from the upper
 story windows. The engine.
 room was so black with smoke
 that vision was impossible and 'she wielders of the chemical
 had a difficult time while sub .duing the flames. While the flight was going on inside the building 9 stream of water from the fire engine was into play and the blaze was quenched in hurry
 up style. The interior of the engine room was badly scoreh~
 ed and also part of the hall
 and some of the furnishings.
 The fire brigade and citizens
 are entitled to praise for their
 spe eedy work, which alone pre-
 vented 9 disastrous conflag-
 ration.

SHIP HIGH GRADE
 FROM SILVERADO

A small shipment of higsi grade ore, extracted during the present exploratory oper- ations on the Silverado, was shipped to the smelter on the steamer Amur during the past week.
 The shipment comprised about 80 sacks. The ore is said to be from a vein which yield ed some excellent smelter re- turns from shipments made in earlier years.
 The No. 1 vein on this prop erty was recently encountered in the main tunnel, in which work has been in progress throughout the winter, but fail ed to show more than slight naturalization until a short drift was run on the lead. This is said to have opened up a T. foot zone of ore of which some- thing like a foot is said to be high grade, carrying large sil- yer values.
 The new tunnel is being ex- tended to cress cut three very promising leads running north and south a short distance be- -yond the No. 1 vein. The tun- nel is said to be in something over 400 feet at present.

The House recently passed a Senate bill to permit placer mining claims in Alaska in ax- cess of the 20 acres now pro- vided by law to be patented providing that the tracts lie between adjoining patented claims on all sides and are not over 1920 feet long.
 The new law, it is said, is aim- ed to meet situation that has arisen in interior Alaska in the sale of certain areas of low grade placer mining ground. It will eliminate the necessity of patenting small fraction claims lying in ground already pat ented. The provision limiting claim length to 1920 feet de- signed to guard against shoe string" locations.

A large section of the south ern coast of Alaska was recent visited by severe earthquake shocks. Seward, Anchorage, Cordova, Haines and other points along the coast between Lynn Canal and Cook Inlet experienced shocks of varying degrees of violence, while tremors that shook buildings and rattled dishes were felt as far inland as Fairbanks.
 Seward apparently eXperien- ced the worst shaking up, water pipes being broken and chimneys wrecked, while the population rushed into the streets for safety The shocks were heavy and lasted a half minute. The damare in llded the breaking of the Seward end of the Vnlder cable.
 Two shocks lasting 1912 sec onds were record od at Anchor age. The second aho k was the most severe and was accomp- anied by a deep rumbling sound, apparently in the earth. Only slight damage was done, principally in broken dishes, although the re0orts say that patients in the hospital were shaken out of their beds, and the school children were sent home. The quakes stopped the clocks at Curry, on the Alaska railroad. Cordova was visited by two shocks lasting two and ten seconds each. Buildings were shaken but no material damage was done at that point.
 Fairbanks reported a shock at the same hour which shook buildings but did no damage.
 The quake was registered by seismographs at Victoria, B. c. and Berkley, Cal.

Gasoline

r., INDIANAPOLIS filing stations
/ advanced gasoline prices 2
cents gallon yesterday. This
is the fourth increase-for q total
of cents-since Jan. 1.
The reason given, Of course. is
the declining output OF. and higher
prices for, crude petroleum. 1t is
oil refiners say-the memorable
operation OF the law of supply and
demand. z
Yet while the retail price Of gas
has advanced cents a gallon in In
dianapolis, the producer in Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas receives only
an increase of approximately rs cents
barrel for crude oil.
One barrel Of crude yields from
fourteen to eighteen gallons Of
gasoline. So about one-third Of the
advance in retail price OF gas tr1ckles
into the pockets OF oil producers.
The rest evaporates IN transit.
In the days Of the wicked oil trust
1t would be accused of absorbing the
difference. But the oil trust Is dead
1.-The Supreme Court tore it asunder.
Apparently, though, Its soul goes
marching on as IL nothing had hap
pened-
The ultimate consumer is power
iess--he can't buck an immortal
ghost. Nevertheless. with the gaso-
line price climbing 5 cents month
and the Legislature threatening to
double the gas TX, he has a very
merry summer IL prospect.

that power it wasn't claimed that
the board had inspected schoolhouses
without proper request. Nor was 1t
charged that buildings condemned
were not injurious to the health Of
the children.
Many legislative supporters OF the
repeal bill argued that fcondemning
school houses puts the taxpayers to
unnecessary expense. Also that
such power vested in a State board
outrages the principle of local self
government.
But they aren't consistent.
The same legislators voted, last
week, to give the livestock sanitary
board money and authority to take
whatever measures necessary to
fight a poultry epidemic. All at the
taxpayers expense and regardless
of the wishes Of the people in the
affected area
Doesn't that also fiout the sacred
principle of local self government?
Or do those legislators consider
chicken more important to the
State than school children?
