SAVES BUILDING
Serious Fire At Tavern Cafe Last
Night Promptly Put Under
Control; Damage Slight.
Shortly after midnight yesterday
Nenanaites were aroused from their
slumbers by the ringing of the fire
bell and the sounding of the fire
alarm by the whistle at the Com
mission power plant. The response
was immediate and the fire, which
broke out at the Tavern Cafe and
threatened to spread was soon under
control.
Sam Comfort, who happened to be
in the Nenana Club building at the
back of the Tavern Cafe, first saw
smoke issuing in large quantity from
the neighborhood of the stairway
leading to the club rooms and gave
the alarm, which was passed along,
and Andy Hoey, of the Terminal,
called up central at the telephone
exchange and passed it on to the
Commission people. The citizens
who had gathered on first hearing
the alarm made a rush for the city
fire hall and soon had the chemical
at the scene of the fire, and this was
followed a short time afterward by
the Commission chemical.
Several lengths of fire hose were
also brought to the scene and coup
led on to the fire hydrant at the
rear of the Arctic building, but for
tunately it did not become neces
sary to use the water
All of the hand chemicals in the
near-by hotels and business houses
were requisitioned and weilded by
willing hands, and reinforced by the
big chemical soon had the f;'e out.
; The cause of the fire has not been
definitely ascertained, but it is
thought that it originated from the
bake oven of the Tavern. The oven
will be taken down today to allow
of a thorough examination being
made. The damage done by the fire
was slight, though all the pastry
and bread that had been baked and
the dough, etc., that had been pre
pared was damaged and had to be
thrown away; the partition between
the bake oven and the stairway lead
ing up to the club rooms was partly
cut through and much of it was
charred. Mr. Rodigkeit estimates
the damage sustained by him to be
about $50
Almost the entire second floor was
filled with a dense mass of smoke
making it extremely difficult for
the few men up there to locate a
fire, and as a precautionary measure, ■
the hose leading from the chemical
was turned on everything indes
criminately in the smoke-filled apart
ments immediately above and close
to the seat of the fire near the j
bake oven.
Beyond a badly scorched and some-:
what burned portion of the wall be
tween the bake oven and the stair
way to the rear, the building was
practically untouched. The furni- J
ture and fixtures of the Nenana;
Club suffered some frohi water and
one window in Dr. Bowen’s office
was broken.
Mrs. Bowen who was in her apart-!
ments on the second floor of the
building when the fire broke out,
was helped to safety through the
smoke laden corridors by Joe Burns j
of the Coliseum, who was one of
the first on the scene.
CARD OF THANKS
William Rodigkeit, proprietor of
the Tavern Cafe, wishes to extend
hearty thanks to his many friends
who rendered valuable assistance to
him during the fire at the Tavern
Cafe last night.
CARD OF THANKS
: Mrs. J. R. Bowen wishes to extend
hearty thanks to all those who rend
ered her assistance at the fire last
night. She appreciates very much i
the efforts made by everyone on
her behalf.

WATER SYSTEM
NEARLY READY;
REPAIRS MADE
j Townsite Manager Grigg Assures
Commercial Club That Water
Will Soon Be Available.
_
That practically all the repairs
needed to put the Nenana water
mains in condition for use have now
been made and that the system will
be in general operation within the ‘
next few days, was the reassuring
statement made by Townsite Man
ager W. H. Grigg. at a meeting of
the Nenana Commercial club held
last night. j
Since taking over the manage
ment of townsite affairs, Mayor
Grigg has been very active in getting
the water mains in shape, and hopes
to be able to superintend the final
tests before turning the system over
to his successor tomorrow. When
tests were made some time ago, it
was found that a number of joints
leaked, due to a settling of the pipes,
which were laid hastily a year ago
after the ground had frozen. Where
ever needed, the joints have been i
raised and calked and it is expected
that this repair work will have been
completed by tonight, in which event
the mains will be filled and a steady
pressure maintained throughout the
winter, sufficient for domestic needs.
And there will be ample reserve
water and pressure for use in case
of fire.
The rates to be charged water
consumers have not yet been decided
upon, but it was the opinion of both
Mayor Grigg and Mr. Joseph, who
will assume charge of townsite affairs
on September first, that the charges
will be satisfactorily low.
Aside from the discussion of the
water question, which has been be
fore the club from time to time
since the laying of the mains last
fall, there was little done at the
meeting. Secretary Joseph read a
letter from the Fairbanks Commer
cial club, in reply to a communica
tion sent by the local organization,
indicating that there is considerable
activity in the upper town with re
lation to the gold bonus campaign.
The Fairbanks club is seeking to
have gold miners of draft age placed
in deferred classification as an addi
tional aid to the industry in the
North.
The local club already has in
dorsed the gold bonus plan, both in
letters to the delegate and to prom
inent mining men of the nearby gold
mining districts, the latter having
been urged to give their support to
the movement inaugurated in con
gress by Delegate Sulzer.
The meeting last night was the
first held by the club in the new
quarters in the Ball & Thomas barber
shop.
