The cabin of Fitzgerald bro
thers on Premier Avenue nar
rowly escaped destruction by
fire late last week when the
flooring beneath a heating
stove became ignited during
the night.
Providentially awakened by
the smoke, Jack Fitzgerald,
well known mining man, was
able to extinguish the blaze
before it gained too great head
way. Just how the floor be
came ignited is something of
a mystery, as 'the stove rested
in a tin-lined stove-box on top
of a layer of building bricks
and several inches of sand.

man was to be continuously em
ployed; and also that some
organization be designated to
employ men who are reason
ably suitable to the objectives
of the CWA program and to
prescribe the number of work
hours of employment within
the thirty-hour week provision.
As a result of the latter pro
vision, Mr. Green is personally
directing the river work, giv
ing his time and services with
out charge, and is being assist
ed in other details by Collector
of Customs J. L. Abrams and
U. S. Commissioner Chas. F.
Sandford, who represents the
district court and Territory in
local indigent relief matters;
the three constituting the re
quired organization.
Pursuant to the instructions, J
Mr. Green placed four men at' '
work on the lower river chan
nel, clearing away accumulat
ed log and brush jams which if
not removed will ultimately
block the channel, causing a
diversion of the stream which
will endanger the town in high
water periods.
The work is being divided as
far as possible among those
who have been subsisting
wholly on government relief
and others who by reason of
non-employment on earlier
government projects are in
•imminent need of assistance.
Through the representations
of Mr. Green that powder was
needed to remove stumps and
other obstructions in the river,
a quantity of stumping powder
caps and fuse has been allotted
for the work and is expected
shortly from Ketchikan.
