preparations are now being made.
As already announced, the man

Prof. Berggren is authority for the
statement that the music will in
• elude several new dance hits.
The dance will be an all-nigh:

The building in which were
housed the pumping machinery and
blacksmith shop at Camp 415, on
the north bank of the Tanana river,
i
opposite N'enana, was destroyed by
fire late Saturday afternoon, and
the pump and boiler, used for sup
plying water for the narrow-gauge
locomotives on the N'er.ana-Fair
banks line, were put out of com
mission temporarily. The tools in,
the blacksmith shop also were dam
aged to some extent, but the entire
loss sustained, according to Engi
neer-in-Charge Fred’k D. Browne, is
only nominal and the damage can
be quickly repaired.
It is not known just how the fire
started, but it is believed to have j
resulted from the use of a gasoline
torch, with which Watchman Ed La
hertv was engaged in thawing some
of the water pipes a short time be
fore the fire was discovered. Mr.
Laherty explained to a representa
tive of The News that he discov
ered the frozen pipes shortly after
going on shift Saturday afternoon,
and had to thaw them before he
could start the pump to fill the
tank. He says he used a gasoline
torch for the purpose of thawing
and, after freeing the pipes, re
mained in the building some time
afterwards, while the pump was in
operation. After the tank had been ,
filled, he went over to the round
house, a distance of about 100;
yards, and was. occupied with his
duties there for probably half an
hour, when he returned to the pump
house, to find the interior of the ,
building a mass of flames. He could
not get into the building to fight
the fire, and there was no means,
available to fight it from the out
side, or’-er than the use of snow'.'
Lahert. lost two coats and com-!
missary credits to the value of $20,
which he left in the pumphouse
when he went on shift.
The work of rebuilding the pump-!
house was started yesterday morn-;
ing and the new plant will be ready j
for use within a few days. The
new building will be more compact,
housing only the pump and boiler.
Such blacksmith work as may be
needed at the camp hereafter will
be done in the roundhouse.
