FOREST FIRE IS
UNDER CONTROL
IN HOPE SECTION
PART OF CREW OF FIREFIGHTERS
RETURN TO SEWARD; LIT
TLE RAIN HAS FALLEN
The huge forest fire in the Hope
district of the Chugach National For
est is now under control and it is ex
pected the men who departed from
Seward last week to cope with the sit
uation will return on tomorrow’s
train. According to a statement by
one of the fire-fighters who returned
to Seward last evening the fire swept
through the area from Hope, follow
ing Turnagain Arm along the shore
line and back in the hills to timber
line, to within a distance of one mile
of Gull Rock, almost ten miles in j
length.
This is the first authentic news
from the fire zone since the forestry
officials, W. J. McDonald, supervisor,
and Lee Pratt, inspector, both from
Cordova headquarters, passed through
Seward last week on their way to
Hope in response to an urgent mes
sage sent them by John G. Brady,
district ranger in charge of this re
gion. Communication from Hope to
Seward is not of the best, and this
lack of communications was a severe
handicap to the protection of the for
est.
Over 50 men were engaged in the
fire zone, battling the flames, but at
the present time this force has been
reduced to about 30. Weather condi
tions have not been for the best, in
combatting the fire, little rain having
fallen during the past few weeks. The
forestry men expect to reach Seward
on their way to Cordova tomorrow
evening.

BOYS’ DORMITORY
BEING ROOFED AT
JESSE LEE HOME
THIRTY MEN ENGAGED STEADILY
ON SITE; MUCH MATERIAL
SCATTERED OVER GROUND
Building operations at the Jesse Lee
Home are progressing in a satisfac
tory manner, as will be seen by a
visit to the site. The boys’ dormitory
is going up quickly, the carpentering
crew now being engaged in complet
ing the remainder of the roofing. The
building will be a model of its kind,
affording ample light and fresh air
to every room. The size of this, the
first building to go up is rather aston
ishing, being much larger than was
at first supposed, according to the fig
ures given.
The girls’ dormitory, located a short
distance away from the boys’ build
ing, has its foundations in and struc
tural work has just started. Plumb
ers and electricians are on the site
installing their work as the building
progresses. It is estimated that an
average of 30 men are employed stead
ily at the site. A boarding house or
kitchen operated by Mel Holben of
the Seward Grill, is housed in a large
tent, and with the exception of a very
few', all of the men employed at the
site obtain their meals there, getting
a warm, substantial lunch at a mod
erate price. A few men also sleep in
a bunkhouse adjoining.
Scattered about the large home site
is material and equipment of every
conceivable nature and several store
houses and shelters have been erected
to protect much of it from the w'ea
ther. The short road which the city
constructed from the main road to the
site is now worn smooth and is easly
accessible for motors.
X-rays are being successfully used
for removing corns, one treatment be
ing sufficient.
