Fire at Seldovia
In General Store
Is Near Serious
■
(By The Associated Press)
SELDOVIA, Jan. 11, — A fire
Saturday night swept through the
second floor of a two story build |
mg occupied by the Seldovia Cash
Store, owned by Charles Sharp.
Merchandise on the first floor
was damaged by smoke and wat-1
er to an estimated damage of
more than ten thousand dollars.
It was of unknown origin. The
second floor was used for living
quarters and as stock rooms. A
volunteer fire department organ
ized three months ago manned the
recently purchased fire pump and
confined the flames to the upper
story, saving a large portion of
the commercial district of the
town from destruction.
The fire was discovered at 8:30
pm. and had been extinguished
inside of an hour.
One fire fighter, Nick SarakofT,
was slightly injured in a fall from
a ladder.
Sharp’s store, serving the low
er Cook inlet country, is the on
ly firm handling building mater
ials, which are now urgently
needed for repairs. Other stocks
l ave become practically exhaust
ed since the maritime strike was
called.

Prospector Should be Encouraged
Says Fourth Division Legis
lator—Government Should
Also Help Thera.
— !
Principal efforts of Representa
tive Dan L. GTeen at the forth
coming session of the territorial
legislature will be to seek in
creased governmental assistance 1
for the mining industry in gen-1
eral and prospectors in paTticu-1
lar. he said, to the Fairbanks |
News-Miner recently before leav
ing for Juneau.
Continuing Mr. Green is quot- ^
ed as saying: “By that I mean i
measures relating not only to min
ing specifically but to those whi
ch have for their purpose enlarge
ment of the road and aviation
program. Progress of our mining
industry is directly dependent on
roads and air fields and I am
going to do my best to see to it
that more roads are constructed
in outlying sections and that ad
ditional airports are made avail
able. Expenditures of funds for
those purposes will pay big divi
dends in opening up new mining
country.”
Would Help Prospectors
Asserting that '“prospectors are
the backbone of the country,” he
made it known he would give un
qualified support to any legisla
tion designed to help that group,
lie is also particularly interested
in bettering the lot of trappers.
‘‘Old age pensions ought to be
increased,” he said, ‘‘and Indians
should be entitled to draw pen
sions in the same manner as the
white people. They are citizens
and are being crowded out of
their normal occupations by the
whites. I think it is only fair
that the country of their birth &
lifelong residence should provide
for them in their old age.”
