7-YEAR-OLD INJURED
AT SCENE OF FIRE
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Bob
Morris, owned by Sam Ailak, was
burned last night from a fire
starting somewhere in the middle
of the house where two cabins
had been joined together, form
ing a closet. The family was
watching television, it is reported,
in the front of the house at the
time, and were unaware of the
fire until it had a good start.
The fire drew a large crowd,
and alhough the Fire Department
has warned, time and time again,
that people stay off he street in
the fire area and park their cars
out of the fire zone, the usual
crowding resulted, hindering the
fire crew and seriously injuring
a little boy, Bobby Iokienna, who
was caught between cars while
trying to jump in a truck, it was
reported.
The child, about 7 years of age,
is reported in a critical condition
at the Hospital. He is the son
of Fanny Iokienna.

Chas. Jones Suggests
Irving McK Reed Highway
The following published letter
was dated August 6, and ad
dressed to the NWA Chamber of
Commerce:
Gentlemen:
This letter is an attempt to have
the road now under consruction by
the State, between Nome and Tel
ler, named the Irving McK Reed
Highway.
Mr. Reed was raised in Nome
and was well known to many of
the Old Timeis. He had his school
ing here, attended college and be
came the Territorial Highway
Engineer.
During his term of office, in
knowing of the necessity of this
road ar>d the possibilities for de
velopment along this route, he
made a study of the road or route,
had aerial photographs taken and
a study made of the mineral re
sources along the route.
When the Bureau of Public
Roads decided to make a survey
to consider the advisability of
the construction of a road, an en
gineering party was sent to make
such a survey. A very thorough
survey was made and they re
ported favorable as designated, by
them — THE REED SURVEY —
as the best route to serve all the
purposes desired. After plenty of
discussion and an open public
hearing the report was accepted
and bids called for its construc
tion.
Personally, I feel that Mr. Reed
should be recognized by us as
the REAL SPONSOR OF THIS
ROAD, now being built, and that
he should be recognized by the
State in having it named The Irv
ing McK Reed Highway.
I respectfully request that our
Body draw up such a request and
submit it to the State authorities
as an appreciation of our feelings
towards him, Mr. Reed, for his
unswerving efforts to secure the
construction of this road, and the
capability he demonstrated in hav
ing fellow engineers recognize his
judgment and in their report rec
ommend the Road Survey as the
feasible and logical route for its
construction.
CHAS. D. JONES.
