ROUNDHOUSE FIRE
DELAYS BUILDING
Nenana’s most serious fire oc
cured at an early hour Tuesday
morning, when the four-stall round- j
house, recently erected by the Alas- '
kan Enginering commission, was j
burned to the ground, and the three j
locomotives housed therein, quite I
seriously damaged. The boiler house,
immediately back of the roundhouse,
also was burned and the tankhouse
adjoining was slightly damaged.
The locomotives, at first believed
to have been permanently disabled,
can be repaired and two of them, at
least, will soon be in running order
again. The day following the fire
Engine 270 was moved to a point
just beyond the roundhouse ruins
and temporarily housed in a large
tent, where the repair work is now
progresing rapidly. Superintendent
Packer is of the opinion that the
big engine will be ready to resume
its regular run out the line within
a few days.
The origin of the fire has not yet
been definitely determined. Night
Watchman Patrick Carraher, who
was on duty at the time, did not dis
cover the blaze until the interior of
the building was a mass of flames.
The fire appeared to be confined
to the floor when first seen, but
soon spread to the walls and had
burst through the windows when the
alarm was turned in at the power
house by Watchman James Fallon,
from another part of the reservation.
The Commission fire department
responded to the call, but there was
little that could be done, no water
being available and the capacity of
the chemical engine being inade
quate to cope with a fire of such
magnitude. And it is fortunate that
water was not used, for, had it been,
the locomotives undoubtedly would
have been a total loss. It is esti
mated that the fire had been in
progress a half hour or more before
the alarm was sounded.
As the result of the disabling of
the locomotives, it was found neces
sary to suspend operations at present
at several points south of Nenana.
The steel gang at Camp 15 was laid
off immediately, as were also the
section gangs at Camp 16 and 21,
pending a resumption of traffic.
The Brown hoist was sent out yes
terday with one car of supplies, and
this means of keeping the railroad
workers in food and construction
material will be used until the crip
pled locomotive has resumed service.
QUICK MAIL SERVICE NOW
Messrs Gibson and Robinson, who
are running two autos between Ne
nana and Fairbanks, will carry such
first class mail as may be on hand
at either end of the route at the
time of their departure, The dates
of their trips are uncertain, but it
will insure at least a semi-weekly
service as long as weather conditions
permit them to run.
At present it is much better than
semi-weekly, and those desiring to
get mail out may depend on it being
forward as often as one of these
autos leave.
Messers Gibson and Robinson have
agreed to do this for a nominal com
pensation, the Commercial club hav
ing made the arrangement with
them.
NOTICE
The Commercial club will have its
regular meeting at 3 p. m. tomorow.
A matter of unusual importance
is to be discussed and decided, and
every member is urged to be present
without fail.

STRONG ATTRACTION
FOR SUNDAY NIGHT
“Even As You and I,” a powerful
seven-reel drama of souls at bay,
will be the attraction at the Coliseum
on Sunday evening. This is Lois
Weber’s last triumph, a cinemaster
piece which establishes a standard
of artistry seldom equaled in the
world of feature photoplay.
“Even As You and I” is an absorb
ing story of the strength and weak
nesses of humanity. It is lavishly
invested with that rare perfection
of detail for which the author is
famous and wonderfully acted by
players chosen for their particular
abilities.
The story is one of modern life,
as lived in Bohemia. It introduces
a happily married young couple, held
aloof from the world by idealism.
Tempters come in the form of men
and women. The young husband is
impervious until wealth comes. Then
down goes love honor and youth.
The picture really shows that money
is the root of all evil.
Feature prices will prevail, the
charge for general admission being
fifty cents, with a quarter extra for
reserved seates. The show will start
at 8:30 o’clock.
R. C. Morris, third on the list of
Four-Minute men, will address the
audience on war topics.
