ODMAN KOOLY SERVICES
IN KENAI TUESDAY
Funeral services for Odman
Kooly Jr., age Id years, will
be held in Kenai tomorrow
afternoon.
The young man, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Odman Kooly of Ke
nai, was lost off their fishing
site in Cook Inlet last week.
His body was recovered Sun
day on the Inlet between Ke
nai and Kasilof.
No one witnessed the acci
dent which cost the life of the
young fisherman. The small
boat from which he was setting
nets, was seen to be unoccupied
with the motor running. It was
not until that time that the boy
was missed. A search turned up
boots and articles of clothing
leading searchers to believe
that Mr. Kooly had tried to
swim, and might possibly have
been struck by the moving pro
pellor of his boat.

Fires, Floods Sweep
Western States
(By The Associated Press)
The twin fury of lire and flood
today gripped seven states after
laying waste vast sections of forest
and farm land.
Flames alrea/dy had seared at
least 8o,840 acres of forest. A half
million acres of bottomland in
Kansas and Missouri have been
washed by rampant waters.
Fresh fires burst anew in some
stricken forest sections, timberland
torched by lightning. And in the
flood areas, swollen streams again
threatened to spill over dikes and
levees.
Forest fires raged in five West
ern states. One death was blamed
on firefighting which involved hun
dreds of men. The state by state
picture included:
New Mexico: The hardest hit of
the five states. In the Gila area in
the southwest, 35,000 acres were
swept by flames and lightning
started four new blazes Sunday. It
was in this area that one man—a
soldier—was killed.
Washington and Oregon — fire
situation still acute. A 1.900 acre
blaze in the Willamette National
Forest near Eugene. Ore., was
fought by 900 men. In Northwest
ern Washington, a 450-acre area
was under fire eight miles east of
Arlington and the state extended
the Western Washington logging
shutdown through July 4 except in
a few coastal districts. Logging was
halted in Oregon except in two
counties.
The Pacific Northwest’s biggest
fire was in British Columbia where
an uncontrolled blaze raged over
20.000 acres on Vancouver Island.
Foresters said only ra?n could stop
the fire, but there was no rain in
sight.
