ARMY RADIOPHONE SYSTEM DESIGNED TO
 COVER TERRITORY

The radio-telephone system now being established through out Alaska by the federal gov ernment was recently extended to Nome and now reaches vir- tually from one end of the Territory to the other, accord ing to a recent announcement.
 Radiophone stations are now operating at Ketchikan, Jun eau, Anchorage, Fairbanks and Nome. These installations constitute a system of central or "hub" stations which will communicate with smaller gov. ernment or independent radio phone stations that may be set up at outlying points in the Territory. Each of the hub stations is equipped with a 5OO-watt plant capable of transmitting conversation over hundreds of miles of distance, as evidenced by a recent ex- change of messages between Nome and Anchorage direct.
 A major radiophone set is in Seattle and is expected to be maintained eventually as part of the Alaska radiophone chain.
 Under the present system the smaller outlying sta lons will serve as feeders for the hub stations. A number of the smaller stations have already been installed and others are being opened at various points.
 The Northern Commercial Company has taken over some h a f dozen former Signal Corps stations in interior Alas ka and is operating them on a commercial basis. Quite a number of independent radio phone stations were operated this summer by fishing comp anies at their canneries in the Bristol Bay and Aleutian ar eas. Stations are being estab- lished at St. Michael and Poor man, and another is soon to be installed at Iliamna. Comm unication is already es'tab- lished between Anchorage and McGrath, and also with Me Gee station in the Rainy Pass country.
 Various other small outlying centers are planning to install plants and eventually there should be a large network of such stations connecting with the five main centers.

NOME FIRE WAS ONE
 OF WORST DISASTERS
 IN ALASKA'S HISTORY

Monday indicate that it was one of the greatest fire disas- ters in the history of Alaska and involved a property loss of close to two million dollars.
 Virtually the entire business district, as we'll as a large port ion of the residential section was wiped out. Only two buildings remain in the busi- ness area, all others being en- tirely obliterated.
 The conflagration swept a path 10 blocks long and three blocks wide through the heart of the city, which is located in a narrow strip along the shore of Boring Sea. Briefly summ- arized, he story of the disas- ter is as follows, according to the reports:
 Fire believed caused by sparks from adjoining building falling on roof of large Golden Gate Hotel in most thickly con- tested section of the camp.
 most the entire length of the after starting, fire raced all m3.Jt teh entire length of the city before a 22-mile wind. All efforts to halt flames unavail- ing and dynamite ineffective. as fire speedily leaped gaps.
 Every grocery store and mer- cantile establishment was de- stroyed and in many caces only a small part of their contents were saved. Two Eskimo, trapped by the rushing flames, lost their lives.
 Every man, woman and child in the city able to do so aided in fighting the conflagration and saving moveable property.
 Overcome by strain and the terrific heat, many men and women collapsed and were carried from the fire zone.
 The fire, starting about 10:30 Monday morning, ragged all day and far into the night. The electric light plant was de- stroyed and the city was in to- tai darkness except for the lur~ i'd glare of flames. Drink crazed Eskimo footed and pill fered among the ruins as dark ness obscured the desolate scene and many were arrested and locked in outlying shacks, as the jails were destroyed.
 More than 400 people, par ticularly women and children, were given shelter in outlying shacks and buildings and re- ceived food at a community kitchen. Only a small supply of food was saved, but reindeer meat is available in ample quantities and Coast Guard cutters with large food SUD- plies were hurried to- the scene by wireless orders. Steamers heavily laden with supplies are also enroute from Seattle. The
