Fire Destroys
Valdez Landmark
VALDEZ, Jan. 30 — Fire that
started in the Tillicum Club and
was fanned by a strong northeast
wind also totally destroyed the
Model Hotel yesterday at 9:30 a.m.
This town’s second bad fire
within q week was caused by an
exploding stove in the club, one
of the landmarks of Valdez. Built
in the early 1900s as a social gath
ering place by the town’s “400”
set, it has in later years been used
as a town hall and community
club. It had lately been remodled
inside.
Although firemen fought to
save the small hotel next door
owned by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Nas
lan, gusts of 40 miles an hour car
lan, gusts of 40 miles an hour
carried the flames across to the
wooden structure, recently remod
eled and refurnished by its own
ers. Both the hotel and club were
partially covered by insurance.

Japanese Businessmen
Surveying Alaska Timber
Go Home To Report
SEATTLE, (£)—The seven Jap
anese businessmen who have been
making a survey of timber re
sources in Alaska returned to
Seattle Thursday night and said
they will report their findings to
an association of Japanese wood
producing and processing com
panies. This association will de
cide whether it would be feasible
to go after Alaska timber.
This is the group which caused
concern among Northwest lum
ber men when it was reported
the U. S. State Department had
made some deal with Japan
whereby that country would re
ceive a portion of Tongass Na
tional Forest timber in Alaska.
Later, the U.S. Forest Service
and the Japanese group said that
in the event they wish Alaska
timber the group will form an
American company, operate under
American laws and bid for the
timber on the open market.
