ANCHORAGE 10
HAVE PAID FIRE
DEPARTMENT
Anchorage is to have a fire depart
ment, a real fire department with a
force of paid firemen and adequate
fire apparatus and equipment to meet
any emergency. This was made nec
essary by the lack of interest taken
and enthusiasm displayed by the lo
cal merchants and property owners in
support of an Anchorage volunteer
fire department.
The ground was broken this morn
ing and Mayor J. G. Watts says that
the fire station will be ready for oc
cupancy and everything in readiness
to cope with a fire by November 15.
The station will be erected on the
southwest quarter of the Municipal
block between Fourth and Fifth av
enue and facing F street; the plans
call for a two-story frame building
about the size of the present munici
pal building and will be substantially
built with the idea of permanency.
The lower floor will accommodate the
fire team, truck, fire apparatus and
used for storage, the second floor will
be used for sleeping quarters, equip
ped with bath, lockers and other con
veniences for the firemen.
A hose drying tower will be erected
in the rear of the building that will
be 35 feet high, exclusive of the bel
fry .
me administration nas wired to
Seattle for a heavy spring wagon
that will arrive in Anchorage before
the close of navigation and the plans
are to equip this wagon similar to a
regulation fire truck with the chemi
cal engines, ladders, axes, etc. The
fire team will be trained and the reg
ulation drop harness adjusted for
quick v^ork.
The department proper will consist
of Fire Chief J. J. Heffner and two
other paid firemen. These three will
also constitute a night patrol, alter
nating in, their duties, that will act
as a safe guard for fires.
In addition to the three salaried
firemen it is the intention of the ad
ministration to select , 14 men who
will act as volunteer fire fighters but
be reimbursed $2 for every call.
Quarters will be arranged for at least
! three extra men in the fire station so
as to always have a competent force
on hand in case of fire.
] ’ The fire bell will be placed in the
*"n'ew belfry and later be equipped with'
an electric clapper; electric bells will
also be established at various pojnls
in the city, to be used only in ehdi of
fire.
Operation expenses will be met by
assessment which will be in the
neighborhood of $2.60 per city lot
Within the fire limit. The fire limit
takes in all of that part of the city
from Third avenue to the alley be
tween Fifth and Sixth and between A
and L streets.
( E. M. Huff, the fire insurance solic
itor, says that the establishment of a
fire department of this nature will
unquestionably lower the insurance
rates and that he will immediately
advise the board of underwriters and
take the necessary steps to get a re
duction.
The new system consisting of a fire
, station, chemical engines and the ne
cessary fire-fighting apparatus to
gether with a competent fire chief
and a paid department will give An
chorage ample fire protection. The
substantial investments in buildings
has reached such a magnitude and
the city has grown to such an extent
that the city administration was
forced to adopt these measures.
Mayor Watts is to be commended
upon taking the 'initiative in this
movement which fully insures safety
and fire protection and at the same
time is along the line of the city ad
ministration’s policy towards the up
building of Anchorage and the bet
terment of conditions.
L. O. O. M. ATTENTION.
As business of importance will come
before the lodge, on Wednesday night
at the regular meeting, your presence
is earnestly requested. Be on hand
promptly at 8 o’clock. Initiations.

SEATTLE CAR MEN
QUITTING TAKE NEW JOBf
SEATTLE, Oct. 15.—The Puget
Sound Electric company, operating
strtet car systems in Seattle and Ta
coma and interurban lines between
Seattle and Tacoma and Tacoma and
Seattle to Everett, is having difficulty
in retaining sufficient motormen and
conductors to operate their systems.
This difficulty is caused by the fact
that there is an increase in demand
for labor at better wages in other lines
of business. The company today ap
pealed to the city council to withhold
action on complaints made of curtail
ment of service on many lines until la
bor conditions w-ere bettered.

TOLSTOI MINERS TO
PURCHASE MACHINERY
(Iditarod Pioneer)
John Greer and Pat McNulty, the
owners of claims on Boob creek, in
the Tolstoi district, upon which pay
was first discovered, are in the city
this week, arranging for the purchase
of machinery with which to work
their claims. Messrs. Greer ami Mc
Nulty came in over the trail, and ex
pect to have the machinery landed on
the bank of the Ditna before the
close of navigation, whence it will be
hauled over the snow to Boob creek.
Speaking of the activities at the
camp, they state that while compara
tively little work is being done just at
present, there will be renewed activi
ty during the fall and winter. Duffy
and Johnson at present are prospect
ing bench claims on Boob creek. Louis
Stroup and Fred Humphrey are work
ing at the mouth of Glen gulch, and
Lars Otness is working on discovery
claim, on Boob.
Messrs. Greer & McNulty have lined
up pay on their ground for a distance
of 1,000 feet by a series of shafts.
They expect to continue work all dur
ing the winter, as the ground is deep.
They will make the return trip within
a few days.
; Ira Van Orsdal, who was here last
week, was met on the trail on his way
; back to the Tolstoi. He has secured a
j boiler and hoist of considerable size,
■ which will be shipped soon, and will
be installed on No. 1 below, Boob,
which he is working in conjunction
with James Pitcher.

IOWA COUNTRY MERCHANT
HAS HIGH OLD TIME IN CITY
He had a wire-bound and hog-tight
system for seeing Chicago, had Jacob
Nelson, of Mason City, Iowa, accord
ing to the Herald, of Chicago. It was
given him by a friend who had been
to the big town and enjoyed himself,
and who surely ought to know.
The first rule was to put up at a
good hotel. The second was to visit a
number of cabarets every night. The
third, which was absolutely essential,
was to have a different woman com
panion every night, and the fourth was
to go wherever he went in a taxicab.
Mr. Nelson owns a store in Mason
City, so, when he had packed his grip
and learned the rules by heart, he took
$200 out of the cash register, told the
clerk to be a good boy and set out
with a wink for the railroad station.
He arrived in Chicago July 4 and
followed the rules faithfully, but
something untoward happened to him.
He had been out in a taxi all even
ing and had instructed the chauffeur
to take him to the best hotel in town.
He was accordingly driven to the La
Salle, the Blackstone, the Sherman
and a number of other hotels, but he
said they weren’t good enough for
him. So the chauffeur took him to a
place where he would be kept most se
curely—a cell in the central police sta
tion. He had only 2 cents left out of
his $200. The charge against him in
refusing to pay a taxi bill.
And now Mr. Nelson realizes that
his friend overlooked the most import
ant rule, which should read: “Have
plenty of money; you can’t become a
loophound on $200.”
Mrs. A. Bubb arrived in the city on
the Sea Lion yesterday and is a guest
of the Hotel Anchorage.
The United Brotherhood of Carpen
ters and Joiners, union No. 1475, will
meet Tuesday evening in Byrne hall at
8 o’clock. Visiting members invited.
