The flro up the Skagway valley
seems to be Raining headway from
last accounts. At 11 o'clock this
morning Superintendent Hahn of the
White Pass telephoned the Alaskan
office that he had been notified by
his section foreman that the fire was
burning hard up the Bast Fork and
taking everything in its way. On the
east side of the main river the fire
had practically stopped beyond Reed's
Falls and was apparently dying out.
On the west side It had passed
over the Black l?iko region and was
well down the valley and working
fast toward the south. It had pass
ed the old townsite of Li&rsvtlle and
was approaching the cemetery about
thre? quarters of a mile distant.
Mayor Tanner was notified and
went up to make a personal examin
ation. If he thinks the situation war
rants, he will telegraph the forest
supervisor for permission to put
some men to work in an effort to
stay its further progress.
