 Estimated loss is 8 half million dollars.
 The Filipino and fishermen bunkhouses were also destroyed. The big mess hall and kitchens were still burning at 9:30 am.
 A wind quickly spread the blaze to virtually all parts of the cannery after starting supposed ly from an oil-burning stove in store or office. Bursting oil drums lent a spectacular feature, send ing pillows of flames hundreds of feet into the ar.
 Bunkhouses were cleared be- fore the fire was too far advanced and no injuries have yet been re- ported although workers lost practically all possessions. Loss of canned salmon was small as most on hand had been shipped. Eric Bulmer, formerly of Ket- chikan, is superintendent. It is his first year.

Polls Open Tuesday For IS Territorial Offices

Voters will go to the polls next Tuesday, Sept. 12, to choose a delegate to Congress, attorney general, highway en- gineer, territorial auditor, 3 sem ators and z representatives for the territory.
 A higher vote is predicted this year because of interest in the John Manders and E. l.. Bart lett contest for delegate, the position held heretofore by An- thony Dimond. Local interest Is also expected to be higher in the representative contest as two Kodiak men are running for aseat in the house of represent atives: Warren A. Taylor bid ding for a Democratic seat and Robert H. Chadwick for Re- publican representation. With Kodiak's interest high in post war projects it is felt many will try to swing all the votes they can to getting local representa- ton in the all-important coming legislature.
 The city polls will open at 8 Tuesday morning at the city hall and will remain open until 2 pm. For complete list of candidates, see page 5, for Election Notice, page z. Announcements of vari- ous candidates are carried else where in this issue.
