STILL ADVANCING
Soldovia visitors
who flew from Anchor
age to Homer on Thur
sday, yesterday re
ported that the Kenai
fire appears to bo
breaking out in a now
area, .north and west
of Kenai.
Passengers on
PNa’s Travolair pi
loted by Don Dorothy,
said Mr. Dorothy sta
ted that he had never'
seen flames in that
area before Thursday’s
flight’to Homer. '
Late reports from
anchorago say the
firo is "also burning
toward the village of
Kasilof, but a *swamp
near there is expect
ed to effectively
block its path.
Small plane flights
from anchorage to Ho
mer and boat trips up
and down the Inlet
both have been great
ly hampered' by the
dense smoko which
lies over the whole
Kenai area.

PORT OPERATIONS
STr PPED BY MUD
iiirport work was
all bogged down this
week, with the grader
settling deeper into
mud by the hour and
the tractor intended
to handle much of the
pulling and scraping
being prima-donna-ish
at crucial moments,
'Ends of the field
have been dozed level
with Dr. Melvin Beltz
manning tho tractor
for that work. How
ever the grader sank
in Slough mud before
it ever reached the
field, and port work
has come to a full
halt, at least temp
orarily.
If the tractor can
be’repaired, the sur
face of the field
will 'be smoothed with
a drag in the next
day or two, and the
port will be in cond
ition for small
plane use,__
