BRIDGE WORK PROGRESSING;
ALL STEEL NOW ON GROUND
All of the steel for the Tanana
river bridge has arrived from the
coast and the bridgemen have been
busy the last several days unload
ing and getting things in readiness
for the erection of the superstruc
ture. Within the next few days the
two end posts will be put in place,
after which the intervening posts,
each about 30 feet long will be set
up and the upper part of the big
truss put in position. The work will
begin on the north end of the bridge
so as to leave clearage way for the
110-foot boom which will do the
lifting. It is expected that the en
tire structure will be in place by
the first of the year, after which
several weeks will be required to
do the final riveting and bolting.
By the middle of February, it is es
timated, the bridge will be ready
to turn over to the Alaska Railroad.
Reports from the coast state that
the flooding of the Evan Jones coal

that two million gallons of water

' MONTANA HOUSE DESTROYED
BY STUBBORN DAYLIGHT FIRE
The Montana House, two story
j rooming house which was erected
by Henry Baatz in the early days
of Nenana, was completely destroy
| ed by fire yesterday afternoon, to
1 gether with contents. The fire, which
is thought to have started in the
j basement, from the furnace, had
j gained much headway before the
j alarm was turned in, and the com
! bined efforts of the city and com
| mission departments, with two lines
j of hose, were unable to save the
| structure, which continued to burn
• fiercely until only portions of the
{ walls remained standing.
( The volunteers who assisted Fire
i Chief Johnson, made a hard fight
under conditions which were very
unfavorable for fire-fighting, the
weather being extremely cold thru
out the afternoon, so that the fire
men were covered with a coating of
ice before the fire was extinguished.
The property was owned by Mr.
I and Mrs. Sam Eriksson and was in
; sured for a small part of its value.
! Mrs. Eriksson was in the building
! when the fire started but only had
time to drag a trunk out the door.
Victor Durand was asleep in his
room, and had barely time to get
out. He ran from the room in scant
attire, and lost everything be
longing to him in the room, as did
all the other roomers, the destruc
tion being most complete. The Eri :■
ssons lost a sum of money in ad
dition to their other belongings,
Frank Sager lost a lot of clothing
and jewelry of much value. N'ed
Porter lost all his belongings, in
cluding a pair of glasses which can
not be replaced in Alaska, and Oscar
Samson lost three suits of clothing
, and a Government check in addition
to other belongings.
The furnace in use at the Mon
tana was an old one, and the pipe
leading from it ran almost the full
lenght of the cellar before reaching
, the safety, in the lobby, at the
j front of the building. It is thought
! a spark from this pipe or the igni
1 tion of accumulated creosote started
the fire.
