Fire Department
Was Failed East
Nome Yesterday
The Nome fire department
was called late yesterday
afternoon to the home of
George Washington, a na
tive.living close to the resi
dence of Fred Bourdon,east
Front Street. The cause of
the fire was the burning
out of the flue, and around
which loose rags had been
stuffed and had caught fire.
The fire was put out by the
use of chemical, without
further loss, other than the
Hue, which must be replac
ed.
Enroute to the fire, the
chemical sled tipped over
on its side nearly opposite
the scene of the fire. Volun
teers accompanying the de
partment, righted the sled
without the loss of much
time and wihout damage.

tContinued From Page One)
said, that it would be dis
infected and the readers
should take all precautions
! to cleanse their hands after
handling it, and burning
the letters. It was stated
that outside mail routed
thru Fairbanks would be in
a separate pouch and there
would be no reason for un
dergoing the same treat
ment.
There are no alarming
features in Nome, in con
nection with the Fairbanks
epidemic, but medical ad
vice, is “an ounce of pre
vention is worth a pound of
cure.” In attempting to
prevent the contagious dis
ease from spreading thru
the population of Nome, all
efforts are being made to
prevent a reoccurence of
the type of epidemic, when
diphtheria raged in Nome
for several months during
the winter time, and result
ed in numerous deaths.
