PLANS FORMING
Towntite Manager Confers With
Engineer In Charge Rega-ding
Fire Protection.
That the measures for the proper
protection of town property from
fire will soon be put into efefct, and
the system in force now will be
mado more efficient is indicated in
a conference held recently between
Frederick D. Brown, engineer in
charge of the Fairbanks division of
the Alaskan Engineering commission
and Townsite Manager H. B. Joseph.
It was felt that the sounding of
the power plant whistle in case of
fire and the ringing of the fire bell
in the townsite building was not
sufficient and a decision was ar
rived at to procure a siren whistle
which will be sounded only in case
of fire, so that on hearing it, the
people will entertain no delusions
as to the reason for sounding it.
A simple system of gongs will
also be installed: these gongs will
“ be placed at the fire hall, power
plant, telephone exchange and the
dormitory occupied by the volunteer
firemen, who will be named later.
The gongs will sound simultaneously.
On hearing the gong, the fireman
on duty will sound a general alarm
by sounding several short blasts on
the power plant whistle, followed
, immediately after by the signal that
will indicate the district in which
the fire occurs. When the siren
I has been installed he will sound it
on hearing the gong. For the pres
ent time, it has been decided to di
vide Xenana into two districts only,
viz: the Commission reserve and the
tow’n proper. The signals for these
two districts will be decided on later
and due notification of them will
. be given.
Mr. Browne is very enthusiastic
about the fire protection scheme,
and is very anxious to inaugurate
j the best and most efficient service
possible, and with this object in
view will name a sufficient number
of the Commission employees who
will be members of the Commission
fire department. They will all be
occupants of one of the Commission
dormitories and will receive a slight
addition to their salaries, in addition
to which their room rent will be
remitted.
The city fire department will co
operate with the Commission force
at all times and with the installing
of the gong system, the response
of both the city and Commission
departmets will be simultaneous at
any future fires. The city depart
ment is now equipped with an up
to-date hose-cart, which carries a
very considerable length of hose.
Steps are now being taken for
procuring a siren whistle and the
new system will be installed ami put
into effect as soon as possible. The
general public will be duly notified
regarding any changes, etc.

DRAFT EVADER IS
| MADE ID SUFFER
—
LOS ANGELES.—For what is be-,
i lieved to be the first time since the j
! L'nited States entered the war, a
mortage has been foreclosed on a:
man for the single reason that he
' is officially classed as not only a;
'draft evader, but an actual deserter!
■ and is being sought by the provost- [
marshal, according to evidence given |
in the local superior, court The j
! man who forec’osed the mortgage s1
| an uncle of the alleged draft evader. |
j The foreclosure proceedings were •
; brought by R. A. Cavanaugh against
I Richard L. Dakin in the matter ofj
‘a promissory note for $1694. duly I
| secured by a mortgage. Mr. Cavan- l
j augh stated in court that, because'
of the relationship between him and j
I Dakin, he would not have foreclosed !
j had his nephew not been “appar-J
j ently a slacker and wanted as a )
i deserter.” The chairman of the
j local draft board with which Dakin
j was registered declared the draftee
j never had responded to summons to
j appear for physical examination or
for actual duty, that he had been
reported to the provost marshal and
was now being sought as a deserter.
“I have no use for a young man who
won't fight for his country,” said
Judge Lewis R. \\ orks. who promptly
granted the decree of foreclosure.”
