 PREPARING FOR
 ANNUAL DANCE
John Olson Made General Chairman to Have
 Charge of Event

Initial steps were taken last night by the Juneau Volunteer Fire De- partment to prepare for its annual Firemens Ball, held each year on Lincoln's Birthday, February 12. John Olson, who had charge of the decorations and lighting effects of last years dance, was appointed general committee chairman with power to select his own aides
 The Bremen expect this years dance to be the equal in every re- spect to any ever given in the past. Plans call for elaborate and strik- ingly novel decorations in which ingenious lighting effects will play a part.
 The Bremen last night voted to stage one of the Departments en- joyable house parties" on Janu- ary 25. These affairs given for members and honorary members of the department and their families have been a departmental feature for several years.
 L. D. Shorty" Roberts was elect ed to membership in the depart ment last night, filling the vacancy created by the resignation of J. E. Pegues.

Truck Driver George Phillips took to his heels to escape a big frag- ment of the window headed his way. The wind playfully blew his feet from under him and George made the next few yards flat on his back.
 Moves Lumber Pile
 Several thousand feet of lumber stacked in the yards of the Juneau Lumber Mills was whisked off the premises and landed on the Alaska Juneau wharf. In fact, the at mosphere there was so laden with flying timbers and other missiles that the company halted the move iment of concentrates from the mine to the dock for shipment south.
 While no damage was reported to small boats on the waterfront, boat men were standing by their lines prepared for rescue work. Some of

business streets, adding to the ex- citement and danger of pedestrian traffic. Gravel was scooped up from the pavement and dirt streets and hurled like buckshot against the windows and sides of stores.
 Windows Arc Broken
 Big plate glass windows were blown out or smashed in a few stores. Ludwig Nelson's jewelry store lost a window, another was shattered at Charles Goldstein's Fur Shop, and at tke Silver Fox Barber Shop a similar accident oc- cured.
 The cold storage lost part of it's tar-paper composition roof, as did the Cash Bazaar, and several other buildings. A heavy iron manhole cover was blown off an air vent on top of the First National Bank Building, sailed through a tangle of electric current wires on Front Street, and landed near the Ar cade Cafe. When the owner went to recover it, the wind had whisked it away to unknown parts.
 Employees in the Silver Fox Bar Der shop argued about the big wind of 1916 Van" the proprietor, came in from the street and closed all drafts on the furnace. Simul- taneously came an explosion of coal gas and hard blast of wind, and out went an entire window, some of the glass landing in the middle of the street.
 Moves Parked Taxi
 A 199 Taxi parked opposite the Gastineau Hotel, matched it's brak- ing power against the force of the gale and lost. With it's brakes set tightly. it was swept down hill to Triangle Place, it's wheels skidding on the pavement.
 Bremen, answering the alarm from the Irros Company's plant, climbed to the roof amid down. pour of gravel and tar paper. A six-foot kodak sign was torn loose

the craft were heavily iced down by the flying spray. These were chopped free and prepared to find new berthing places.
 The Coast Guard Cutter Unalga this afternoon prepared for even stronger winds than had been blowing all day. It was replacing it's hausers, making it fast to the dock, with steel cables.
 The ice elevator at the Cold Storage blew down and number of house windows on lower Front Street were shattered.

FROZEN WATER PIPE, CANDLE AND COBWEBS
 CAUSE FIRE THIS A. M.

A frozen water pipe, a tallow candle and some cobwebs formed a combination that started a blaze early this forenoon in the Irros Company's plant on Front Street. The flames were extinguished by the Fire Department before they made much headway and the dam age was small.
 A small waterpipe in the rear of one of the rooms in the build ing froze. In repairing it a candle was used for light. The flame on the candle set fire to a mass of cobwebs and the blaze flared all over the inner walls. It pene- trated between the walls by the
