GUARDING CITY
AGAINST FIRE
Three extra fire wardens have been
pat ml 1km Skauwav for the past two
nights on the lookout for fires. If a
fire startinl when the wind was blow
ing as It was Sunday night It would '
be almost certain to Ret beyond eon- j
trol and destroy the entire cltv. For j
that reason Mayor Shea employed N
J. Black. William Slmes and Arthur,
Moore to assist himself Chief of To- j
lice Dillon and Constable Carson In;
patrolling; the city. Charles Kors will ,
also be on tonight.
Three small chimney fires were dls-j
ov? red and extinguished last night
Any one of these fires mUht have r?
suited seriously. Two of them wer.- .
in the north end and one was at th- ,
bakery of Max (lutfclt
"Wo can't affonl to take am :
chances." said Mayor Shea today
If a fire once cot started this kind
>f weather there wouldn't be any
town left. An ounce of prevention Is
worth a pound of cure. Kv?<Vv prop
erty owner should take the greatest
care with Ills fires."
" 'Tls an 111 wiud that blows no
body any jtood," cheerily quoth .Mm
Nettles as early Sunday morning he
sauntered down to his plumbing shop
and scanned the large crowd "that
marked his coming and looked bright
er when he came." It seemed. as If
the water pipes were frozen in every
other house in town, and It's safe to
say that much savage profanity punc
uated the Sabbath remarks of some
of our first citizen* yesterday
The temperature Saturday night
dropped to 10 degrees below zero by
the thermometer on Moore's wharf,
and that means that It was actually
]."> below up town. The wind was
biting and of great velocity. All In
all It was the worst night experienced
In Skagway for many a moon.
The weather moderated slightly yes
terday and today. It was only 5 de
grees below zero this morning, al
though the wind rages with no dl
uiinuatlon. The weather In the In
ferior Is the coldest of th$, winter. \t
Whitehorse the mercury is 50 below
and at Yukon Crossing it is 70. I>aw
son is 57 below.
