LOSS IIT VALDEZ
The Valdez. Prospector publishes
the following details of the fire which
visited that town Friday and resulted
in a $20,00 property loss.
Flames which originated in the bake
shop of the Table Queen Bnkery and
Delicatessen shortly after 7 o'clock
Friday morning destroyed property to
tho enlim r.T moro th'il. flftPPTl thnllK
? and dollars and for a time threatened
the destruction of the entire business
block along McKinley street between
Broadway and Alaska avenue.
The fire started In the ceiling of
the shop and spread with lightning
, rapidity over the hake shop owing to
[ a balloon ceiling. When the linker
1 discovered the flames he immediately
' turned in an alarm and began fighting
' the fire with a hand chemical ext In
1 gui slier.
i The prompt work of Central in the
! Alaska Water, Light and Power Com
pany’s office in notifying the mem
\ bers of the fire department Indivldu
| ally after turning on electric alarms,
1 is declared by Fire Chief Finical to
► have enabled the department to con
trol the fire and prevent its spreading
to adjoining buildings.
• Norman Leopold was the first mem
j her of the fire department to reach
i the scene and securing a hand chemi
t cal extinguisher from the Buffet he
• broke open the front door of the
i bakery to aid the baker In fighting the
J blaze. Realizing that the flames were
gaining headway he raced for the fire
\ hall and secured the large chemical
J but It proved useless as it froze ast
^ soon as exposed to the fourteen be
| low zero weather.
i The high wind which prevailed
\ fanned the flames and for a time it
i was feared that the entire block ex
!• tending from the Pinzon Cigar store,
• at the corner of McKinley and Broad
■: way to the Seattle Hotel, corner of
i McKinley and Alaska avenue would he
destroyed. From the bakery the fire
m
spread to the White building, the
ground floor of which was occupied
by Louie’s Cafe and the second story
by Mr. and Mrs. Albert White as a
residence.
Three streams of water were soon
playing on the flames from the fire
ball. but the department was hamper
ed for a time by the severe cold wea
ther. Soon after the alarm was turn
ed In a lino of hose was laid from th<
court house and the electric purni
m
started working. The hose lackec
“ about one hundred feet of reachinj
the flames but was kept playing ot
the adjoining buildings and aidei
materially in checking the fire fron
I spreading.
J One of the greatest aids In fightini
1 the fire and preventing It spreadini
] to the Love-Whitley shop was fur
nished by the electric pump installei
last year by that firm in antieipatio:
of just such an emergency. Th
pump Worked to perfection and kep
a two-inch stream Of water pourinj
into the burning buildings. Th'
flames broke through the wall Irito tin
butcher shop but were quickly extin
guishcd.
The property loss caused by tin
fire is estimated to be about twent;
thousand dollars, and is partly cover
ed by insurance. Mr. and Mrs. Alber
White are the heaviest losers, as thej
owned the building in which Louie's
Cafe was located and lost all theii
furniture aud personal belongings
When they were awakened theii
rooms were filled with smoke and the)
escaped just in time. Mrs. Whit*
■ saved some of her clothing, but hei
„ husband got out of the building part
ly dressed.
Andy Marovich, propriteor of Louie’s
Cafe, suffered a loss of more than twc
thousand dollars and carried no in
surance.
Rudolph Schmidt, of the Kitchen
Queen bakery and delicatessen, lost
his stock, which Is estimated to havs
been worth five thousand dollars. Ths
building occupied by Mr. Schmidt
was owned by Dr. Daggett, of Seward,
and la a total loss. It is not known il
it was insured.
Son after the alarm was sounded
hundred of citizens responded and
were active in assisting the members
of the department In fighting the
flames or aiding the occupants of the
threatened buildings to remove their
furniture and effects into the street,
out of tlie reach of the flames.
For a time it was believed that the
Liberty Theatre was doomed, but the
flames from the White apartments
were prevented from threading In
that direction owing to the fact that
the four-foot space between the build
ings had been hard packed with snow.
The business houses which were
emptied of their effects when threat
ened by the fire included the Love
Whitiey butcher shop. King's grocery,
The Pioneer Barber shop, Mrs. Win
tor's ladies' furnishings store, the
Valdez Drug store, the office furni
ture* of the Alaska Hoad commission,
Mrs. Whitley's furniture from over the
Valdez Drug store, George Iteinke's
jewelry store, the Minnesota “Dib
boarding house, the Pinzon bar, Pin
zon Cigar siore and I liberty theatre.
The transportation companies fur
nished teams and as the perishables
were taken from the buildings the
stuff was loaded onto sleighs and tak
en to warehouses where they were
protected from the frost.
Several of the firemen were drench
ed with ice cold water at the begin
ning of the fight with the flames.
When they attempted to connect the
hose with the hydrant in the rear of
j the Pinzon their mitts froze fast to
the iron and prevented the couplings
| being made. Russell Herman's ears
i were frosted and others suffered froz
| en cheeks.
Good work was accomplished by
■ men with sTiovels during the earlier
stage of the fire as they kept the
flames from breaking through where
they would be fanned by the wind.
Inquiry among those whose effects
were taken from the buildings and
1 piled in the street shows that the peo
i pie of Valdez have lived up to their
I reputation for honesty as all report
' that nothing of value Is missing. This
j is considered all the more remarkable
I when it is remembered that thousands
of dollars worth of jewelry was en
trusted to the hands of persons who
; were practically unknown to the pro
j prietors.
The big stock of the Pinzon Cigar
j store was quickly moved as was tha
i of the liquor stock of the Pinzon Bar
hundreds of men and boys volunteer
ing in the work.
Mrs. White lost all her pretty fur
| niture and hundreds of dollars wortl
| of cntglass which she had received a;
wedding presents, but saved her do;
and birds.
Andy Marovich, who suffered th<
! loss of his business, reports that hi
I had just paid his rent and laid in i
I stock of coal amounting to severa
! hundred dollars.
Harry Whitley is congratulatim
' tiiinself over escaping with the loss o
1 only a few hundred dollars damag
1 to his building and breakage in mov
' ing stock.
During the fire the rnecury in th
’ themotneter at the court house stooi
