of control, have raced through an
estimated 7,500 acres of timber
land in the Okanagan Valley, the
Cariboo and the Bella Coola Val
leys.
At Kelowna, hundreds o‘f per
sons thronged the beaches of Ok
anagan Lake to watch flames
devour 1,500 acres of forest on
Blue Grouse Mountain, eight
miles away.
A 5,000 - acre fire near Bums
Lake in the Cariboo was reported
to be penetrating deeper into rich
timber stands, advancing about
two miles every hour under a
steady wind.
More than 100 men were fight
ing the Blue Grouse fire. It start
ed in an orchard near the summit
and, at some points, has reached
the 3,500-foot level of the moun
tain. ^ sj
Children playing with matches
were blamed with starting the
fire. Towering columns of smoke
were visible 10 miles away.

Convention Notes
By HAZEL KELL
The big Alaska Sourdough Con
vention is over for this year.
There was an unexpectedly large
attendance that not even the 93
degree temperature could keep
away.
Seward Peninsula should be
proud as Dick Sundquist, former
ly of Candle, was elected presi
dent for the coming year.
Long Beach, Calif., presented a
very attractive offer and, next
year’s convention will be held
there. Tommy Watson of Long
Beach, formerly a Nomeite, will
be a central figure in that con
vention.
Wm. Brown attended the con
vention, looking very well and
in good spirits to greet old friends.
Jim Gaffney,- with the Nome
Club, had a room at convention
headquarters so that old friends
could meet and view a collection
of old and new pictures of Pio
neers, then and now. The Nome
ites attended the big picnic in a
body. Everyone registered and
gave addresses of other Nomeites
to be contacted.
Among those present were:
Denny Loveway, 88, but still able
to get around, Jennie O’Farrell,
Milton and Mary O’Farrell, Mr.
and Mrs. Chas. Code, Mr. and
Mrs. Sam Taggart, George Tag
gert and family, Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. Cavey, Mrs Hilma Devine,
Ole Hatlin, Mrs. Skinner (former
teacher, 1905), Mrs. (Longacres)
J. J. Connell, Slim Rydeen, Tom
Shaw. Just call the roll of those
out here and they*were there.
Mrs. Connell would like to con
tact those who were in Nome
around 1906 who remember her
presentation of Nome’s first opera.
There were 590 attending the
banquet at the Olympic Hotel and
an estimated 900 or more at the
picnic. Nome people were there
in the largest numbers.
