WML BURNS TO GROUND
[Special Dispatch to the Daily Alaskan.]
Juneau, March 26 ? The town of Wrangell burned
to the ground Saturday afternoon. Word to that
effect was brought to Juneau by a tug arriving today
seeking help for the stricken town from the other
towns of Southeastern Alaska.
The fire started in the Pioneer hotel and swept up
aud down the street to the postoffice on oue end and
to Patenaude's barber shop on the other. From the
latter place it crossed the street to the meat market I
and swept things clean there, including the big |
Wrangell hotel. It rapidly spread back of Main j
street and wiped out fully two dozen residences.
All the leading stores in the town with the excep
tion of the St. Michael's Trading Company are in
ashes.
The loss is estimated at $1,000,000, and the mayor
and members of the council have united in an appeal
for help for the stricken people moft of whom have
lost all they possess.
The town had no efficient fire apparatus. Build
ings were blown out with dynamite to stay the progress
of the fire but the ruse was only partly successful.
Wrangell is one of the oldest towns in Alaska
and it has been one of the very best towns in South
eastern Alaska heretofore.
