$95,009 Fire
nazes Lomen
Co. Buildings
I.o"'en Ccwme'cial Company’s
large o'd office, dock and stor
t’’ buildings were deslroved by
a big fire of unknown origin yes
tcrday at 10 a.m. A very strong
northeasterly wind was blowing
nd for a while it seemed doubt
ful whether it could be put un
ler control. Soon after they dyna
mited the small buildings sur
rounding the main buildings and
with the comp'ete coperation of
the Fire Department and the
officers and soldiers of the U. S.
Army, what seemed a most dis
asterous fire for the whole com
munity was brought under com
plete control. This fire brings to
mind the Nome fire of 1934 which
was whipped out of control by a
wind, and also the recent Sew
ard fire, a’so made disasterous by
a strong wind.
The only property loosers was
the Lomen Commercial Co,
whose estimated loss is reported
at $95,000, though partially cov
ered by fire insurance.
Among equipment saved were
Kougarok tram cars and several
tractors which were stored in
the warehouse.
CARD OF APPRECIATION
We extend our appreciation to
members of the Nome Fire De
partment, the officers and the
men of the U. S. Army, and the
many citizens who rendered in
valuable assistance at our fire of
yesterday.
Signed: Lomen Commercial Co.
