have been made to have an addition
al supply of currency shipped in by
airplane from Fairbanks and the
States. Considerable currency is
contained in the safe but there is a
quantity on hand which will suffice
until the additional money arrives.

Fire Last Evening
Gene Comer House
Put Out Quickly
The fire department was called
out about eight-thirty last night
to answer an alarm coming from in
front of the hospital. The chemical
equipment made the run in fast time
to discover that the home of Gene
Comer and wife was afire.
With the aid of the chemical the
fire which was blazing inside was
soon under control. The water was
immediately connected and a hose
applied to the building, extinguish
ing the fire. About two hundred dol
lars in damage was reported.
The blaze started, it was reported,
when one of the children caused a
calendar to become ignited, close to
a gas lamp. Before anything could be
done the entire room was afire. Gene
Comer and wife rushed their child
ren out of the house and turned in
an alarm by pounding on the tem
porary one, the iron rail hanging in
front of the hospital. The flames
did not break through the walls or
roof of the building fortunately and
were easily placed under control be
fore any added danger developed.
