An Early Morning Blaze
Prompt work and plenty of
water saved the town from &
serious conflagration ' shortly
jj after four o'clock this morning
when fire broke out in the
1 Iti.ig Lee Chinese laundry at
Lie easlern end of Mission
street. Some delay occurred
in turning in the alarm so the
jlire was under considerable
headway .shooting fully fifty
feet into the air before the fie®
jl-oys arrived on the scene.
!Three lines of hose were laid,
|and it took but a few minutes
then to completely douse the
flames, which had caught on
to the building occupied by the
Alaska Restaurant.
A defective flue and toi
much fire in the Chinaman's
water healing stove was re
sponsible for the blaze. The
laundry building, the property
of the native. Mark Hamilton,
was practically destroyed, and
die restaurant building badly
charred on the northern side
Insides being flooded with
water. Fire Chief Hunt esti*
males the damage to the build
ings at about five or six hun
tsred dollars in all. Hing^ Lee
an-i his cousin Charley Lee
.tiaim lo have sustained a loss
of personal effects aggregating
in Iho neighborhood of four
hundred dollars, while the loss
: lo laundry work in the plart
v-ili amount lo probably at
much more. Mrs. Hamilton is
the owner of the restaurant
i
budding.
Ssome amusing events occur*
red during the fire, as the Ed.
Yerney store undertook to move
their more valuable merchan
ts -e slock out of harm’s way.
Owe man was seen lo careful
ly carry a double armful of
glassware to the edge of *h?
sidewalk and throw- it down on
lo the rocks of the beach tt
low\
Pajamas and nightshirts
were the favorite garb of the
fire department, but they did
first class work nevertheless.
The lire brought out the fact
lhai considerable ignorance ex
isls as to how the local fire al
arm is operated. All .that it >s
necessary to do to turn in n
, fire alarm is to break the glass
jin *he front, of the little red
|t*ox and pull the lever down to
the stop once—the system, the
|whistle and the fire boys will
jdo tlie rest. Following is the lo

DON’T BREAK THE LAW
U. S. Deputy Marshal Davies
has asked the Miner Man to
! alt the attention of Ketchikan
people to the fact that it is a
gainst the law to haul salmon
out of Ketchikan Creek and not
the ifsh. Several people,
ii.any of them boys are in the
habit of snagging out the sal
mon for the fun of seeing
them wiggle, and then leaving
the fish on the banks. He Is
having a sign painted stating
that such actions are contrary
lo law and will arrest the first
person found breaking the lawi
after the notice is posted,
NOTICE
—
Owing to the protracted dry |
weather and strong northeriy!
w nuts, great care should be
ken when burning brush or
anything that may endanger the
town during the dry spell. '
Every fire costs the city at
least $50.00 in addition to the
property destroyed, so that it
behoves every' citizen to safe
guard against possible confla
gration.

"Whereas: The Alaska Poll
Tax Law is a direct steal fram
ed up by thieves to rob the
workingmen of this District,
and as the law has not been
| complied with in its levy, we
the undersigned citizens of Ket
chikan, hereby refuse to pay
this tax until the courts have
1 ftssed on its legality.”
The above embodies my idea
of testing out the PETTY LAR
CENY law- miscalled the Foil
Tax Law.
The long howl is going up
from the big property owners
at the unpatriotic stand some
of us have taken on this steal.
It is pointed out that it i9 the
only way to compel (lie Fili
pino, the Jap, the Mexican, ami
John Chinamen to pay his just
share of the expenses of this
government.
Ot course our Legislature j
was working only for Ihe-WV-Ti'f *
ingman’s interest in fram'ieg
the potty larceny law. “Charlie’’
i ever for a moment thought
that it would make his taxes
less if lie could shoulder half
of them on to tlio Innocent,
laliorer. I! is uncharitable to
think that he was thinking of
whose collar he wore when ht*
was willing to lei Hie canneries
stue-slep half their taxes and
shove tilings on to the “work
ing stiff’.
Why not compel the canner
ies who profit by this alien
labor to pay a iax that would
cover the expense the govern
ment is put (o in taking earn
of these undesirables or let
them pay wages so that hum
ans will do the work? They
get the goods, why not let them
jay the freight?
