Olson Tell Story

Adoph Olsen, at the Deaconess
hospital Wednesday night, in des-
cribing the event, said: "It all hap
pened so quickly, I don't know
how my leg was broken, but it
must have been struck by one of
the falling timbers Immediately af-
ter the explosion. was being wait
ed on by Mr.. johnson, when we
heard the explosion, the roof went
up, and the building seemed to
be falling down and the flames
burst into the room. How I got out.
1 hardly know, but I think I was
blown through the door. My leg
was already broken and my brother
Emil whose hand was badly cut.
and another man, Thomas Dorr,
helped me to car and I was
brought to the hospital"
Dorr, who came to Glasgow two
weeks ago from Welt Point to work
as truck driver at the airport, was
about to enter the Farmers Union
oil station when the first explosion
occurred II heard the explosion
and saw the roof of the building
rise and fall again, the windows
blew out and flames burst forth"
he said. Then the two men. the
Olsons. came out of the door. I
saw Mr.. Johnson, the manager
push a burning timber out of his
way and come through the fire,
then fall down and 1 thought that !
was the end for him."
johnson Goes Back
Another man who had come up
with a car, said. Let's go in and |
get him. but then he got up and |
came out by himself. We put beth /
Johnson and Olson in the car to
take them to the hospital, but Mr..
Johnson jumped out and went back
to the building. I thing all the
men in the building were lucky
they were not badly burned"
The Olsons came to Glasgow two
months ago from Clark, S. D., and
nave been employed by Peter As
eson at his ranch. They were Just
getting gas to go to Baylor to work
or his brothehr, Ed Asleson.

airport aided local officers in hand
ling traffic.
A survey later showed that, al
though they were blazing fiercely
at the height of the fire, tanks
leased by Markie-s sill contained
considerable fuel. as did those of
the Clack company.
The technique used by Glasgow
firemen was credited with saving
them. Grain doors were improvis-
ed as shields to get near the
flaming tanks. Then gradually,
water was sprayed at the bottom
of the burning tanks, slowly work
ing upward to ccol them and re-
duce the amount Of vapor.
This method was used in the
Markle tanks. Finally they cooled
enough so that vapor was reduced
and they no longer burned. Then
a deluge nozzle was used en- the
Markle tank from which the top
was blown. Thus, by excluding OK
ygen. even the fire in this open
tank was put out and fuel re-
NAMED in it.
The same method was used on
the Clack tanks, although for a
time, burning vapor escaped frcm
heir vents. Otherwise, it appeared
certain that all of the tanks would !
have been lost by fire and ex-
)losion. i
Wind continued steadily in a
direction, also an aid, for !

icn would probably have fired
BY 1920, although flames were
till strong, it began to appear that
hey would be controlled and by
ocn the major part of the blaze
ad burned itself out, although the
'armers Union west warehouse was
smoldering mass where oil bar
els and cans still exploded. BY 8,
Il the fire was out except for one
mall spct where fuel was still
from a pipeline valve. IN
Dite cf the heat, firemen, who
orked steadily for more than
even hours, were able to shut off
valve and stop the flames.

Nassau Sends Reminders
OF Tourist DAYS 10 US.

NASSAU, Aug. 29,-Despite the
present absence of cruise ships from
the high seas, Nassau in the Ba-
hamas is not allowing travellers to
forget her many attractions. In
fact, she now is shipping north
ward some of the local items which
long have delighted visiting gift
hunters.
Native handicraft which has made
the isle popular shopping point on
cruise routes now is sold In the
United States. Shell costume jewel
ry is now appearing in United
States department stores and ar
ticles made from Bahamian native
woods soon will follow
Expansion OF these native indus
tries is one of the results of the
research conducted by the Bahamas
Economic Investigation Committee
headed by the Duke of Windsor,
Governor of the Bahamas. One of
the purposes of this committee is
the development of local industries
which will give employment to the
natives of the Bahamas and will
provide additional revenue for the
colonial government to help Offset
the very sizable decline in the in
come derived from the tourist trade
