EXPLOSION OF LIME
CAUSED BERTHA FIRE
Spontaneous combustion in her for
ward hold, where a shipment of lime
was stored, caused the total destruc
tion by fire of tho "steamship Bertha,
on Kodiak Island two weeks ago.
The members of the crew tell the
following story of tho wreck:
‘“The Bertha ran aground on an
uncharted saudspit Sunday night, July
18; at 10:30 o’clock, in Uyak bay, o»
t lie coast of Kodiak Island. The
vessel immediately listed, which caus
ed tho engines to stop. Water rushed
in through tho port-holes and flooded
the engine room. Captain Charles
Glasscock immediately blew four
blasts on tho Bertha’s whistle and a
cannery tender responded to the call
and took off the members of the
crew, Captain Glasscock and the offi
cers of the vessel remaining on board.
“The Bertha’s crew was quartered
in the Uyak cannery bnnkhouse. lo
cated about a quarter of a mile from,
the point where the Bertha struck.
“At 1 a.m.. on the lilth the crew
returned to tho ship»and took off
several totns of supplies. There were
16 barrels of lime in the forward hold
which started to smoke at about 7 a.
m. The lime kept getting hotter and
finally burst into flame at noon, burn
ing steadily until 3:30 p.m. The
cannery tender meanwhile had pulled
the Bertha off tho spit, as the tide
rose, and beached her close to the
cannery. The steamer burned all that
night and all the next day and some
of the crew lost everything they had.
No one was hurt.
“The Bertha was under charter to
l.ibby McNeil and Libbl and was
loaded with material to rebuild the
Koggiung cannery, which burned on
June 11. The cargo is not complete
ly lost, but the steamer cannot be
rebuilt, as her hull has been con
sumed by fire.”

BIG INCREASE IN ALASKA’S
TRADE IS SHOWN
Alaska at the present time is on
the crest of an unparalled era or
good times, according to statistics
made public recently by the United
■States customs house, and cold fig
ures show that trade between the
Territory and the United States and
Canada will be two and one-half times
greater for 1915 than for 1914.
Tt is already I v far the biggest
year the Territory has over had, in
its commerce, and !iie amount of ex
ports and imports may reach three
times the figures of last year before
: he year is over.
The increase of gold production, the
development of railroad, agriculture
•ind forest enterprises, and the steady
gain in population have worked to
bring about the doubling of the bus
iness. A table showing the value of
products shipped from Alaska to the
United States and Canada for the
seven months ending July 31, follows:
Copper . $5,758,113
Canned salmon . 1,203,182
All other fish . 765,258
Furs . 292.729
Marble . 50,279
Gypsum . 46.000
Oils . 31,382
All other products.... 27,711
Total . $8,174,654
The gold and silver shipped for the
same period is valued at $6,496,925.
ANCHORAGE MIGRATES
TO NEW TOWNSITE
A letter received from M. V. Prnsch
of the Field Service who has been
out at Anchorage since the beginning
of the sale of town lots states that
the community is busily engaged in
moving from Anchorage No. 1, which
had settled on the land reserved for
the railroad yards, spurs, etc., to An
chorage No. 2, which is the officially
platted town.
‘‘T*hc place is simply covered with
shacks,” says the letter, “and every
body is busy as well as full of en
thusiasm. They say out. hero that in
two years the town will have twenty
thousand people.”
Several large building contracts
have been let, and two of three firms
have announced their intention of
putting up concrete buildings, among
them the Pacific Grocery Co., which
purchased some thirty lots at the re
cent sale.

John Francis Mullen, chief deputy
United States marshal for the First
Division resigned today. In a letter
to Marshal Harry A. Bishop, Mr. Mul
len said:
“Herewith I submit my resignation,
ns your chief deputy. Kindly relieve
me of my duties at your earliest con
venience. Please accept my thanks
for past kindness and 1 trust In ap
preciation thereof T may in the fu
ture bo of some service to you.’’
The resignation will likely not be
come effective until September 1. “I
want to be relieved not later than
that date,’’ said Mr. Mullen today.
Mr. Mullen says he has not defin
itely decided on his plans for the fu
tore. Ho owns considerable real es
tate here. His resignation was vol
untary on bis part. —
It is understood that John J. Clarke
chief deputy clerk of the United
States Court, has been asked to take
Mr. Mullen’s place, and that he lias
tentatively accepted the tender. Ru
mor also has it that Deputy Clerk J.
T. Reed will be elevated to Mr.
Clarke’s place, and that it has not yet
been agreed who will succeed Mr.
Reed. Mr. Clarke has gone to San
Francisco on a vacation, but is ex
pected back here by September 1.

In July, 1910, when he was city edi
tor of the Daily Record, he was ap

—no lifting of a heavy carriage but simply shifting the light
typebar segment, thus insuring absolute accuracy.

expensive and awkward attachments, all change controls are
