Fire destroys
TWO BUILDINGS
AT M’CARTHY
(From McCarthy News )
On Monday about 4 p. m. a fire broke
out on lower Front street, resulting in
the destruction of two cabins. It
originated in the one occupied by
Miss Blanche Smith, who was badly
( burned and was taken to the Kenne
cott hospital, where she is still un
der treatment. In a short time the
fire had spread to the next building,
a cabin occupied by Ernest Gherkin.
The fire department and a number of
willing helpers did great wrork, and
the fire was gotten under control.
Charles Chong was the owner of the
larger building, and the loss was cov
^ ered by insurance.
Alfred Bradley, who recently was
appointed from Washington, D. C., to
be chief of the agricultural, fisheries
and fur industries of Alaska, left Chit
ino on December 2 for a Inne- trin intn
the Interior, accompanied by Game
Warden Ed Youngs. Leaving Chitina
with horse and sleigh, they traveled
105 miles, abandoning the horse at
that point and using dog teams to the
Betcinita. They found game very
♦ scarce where there had been thou
sands of caribou last year. Only a
few were seen. Foxes also were
scarce. The weather was perfect, al
though the thermometer at times
went to 56 below zero. This official
considers that the expense allowance
of the game wardens in this territory
is totally inadequate for the amount
travel they should do in order to
properly perform their duties and
some good may result from his inves
tigations. Arriving back in Chitina
on December 27, he left immediately
for Juneau, which is Alaska headquar
ters for the several departments he
represents.
The three final games of the pool
tournament took place last week, re
sulting as follows: Kavanagh 100,
vs. Smith 85. Kavanagh won two
straight. Snyder vs. Lockie—Snyder
won two straight. Kavanagh vs. Sny
der—Snyder took first prize, playing
almost an even game.
At the masquerade on Wednesday a
special booby prize was given by the
A. B.’s for the worst dancer in the
hall. The competition was keen, but
tj^e prize was awarded to Ed Dassett
of Nizina, who hesitated to accept the
honor till he opened the package,
which he found was just what he
wanted.
The old-time custom of dancing the
old year out and the new year in
was faithfully followed by a large
crowd at the masquerade ball. Over
fifty masqueraders appeared and a
great many spectators.
J. B. O’Neill returned home from
Kennecott hospital. Though his limb
is in the cast, he is rapidlv recovering
from his accident.
James Morres underwent an opera
lion at Kennecott hospital this week.
are glad to hear that he is pro
gressing favorably.
On January 1 the wife of Matsu
moto, chief of the section camp at
Chitina, presented him with a fine
baby girl as a New Year’s gift. Both
are doing weell at the Kennecott hos
pital.
