ELECT OFFICERS
Question of Improving Fire Pro
tection To Water Front Dis
trict Discussed.
At the meeting of the Valdez Com
mercial Association held last evening
the following members were elected
to serve as a board of trustees for
the ensuing term: J. C. Martin, W.
M. Finical, W. M. Wilson, Edwin
Eckern, Sam Blum, E. E. Ritchie and
Arthur Lang.
As provided for in the constitution
of the association, the board of trus
tees next proceeded to elect the offi
cers with the following result: Presi
dent, J. C. Martin; Vice-president, W.
M. Finical; second Vice-president, E.
E. Ritchie; Treasurer, Edwin Eckern;
Secretary, James Fish.
Chief of the Fire Department Fini
cal addressed the meeting on the
matter of improving the fire protec
tion of the down town district and
stated that he had given the matter
a great deal of time while in Port
land. He was of the opinion that an
auxiliary pumping station should he
established to effectively control any
fires that may occur that were out
of reach of the central fire station.
He stated that he believed a cen
trifugal pump run by a 100 h. p. motor
would De an economical solution.
While in Portland and Seattle he had
conferred with fire department offi
cials, and they were all very much in
favor of the centrifugal pump. The
chief of the Portland department turn
ed out the department and gave Mr.
Finic.'f a practical demonstration of
the value of this kind of pump. A
pump and motor that will have the
same capacity and furnish as mud;
water in a given time as the present
steamer owned by the city, can be
bought for a little over $1,300, and
he believed that it would be economy
to install one as soon as possible.
He will bring this matter to the
attention of the fire department at a
special meeting, which he has called
for this evening.

quartz camps.

Manager Finical, of the Copper Riv

will be a good demand for lumber in
Valdez and surrounding districts dur
ing the coming summer and has an
nounced that the sawmill will be
started cutting lumber early next
month.
Mr. Finical has sufficient logs to
cut 250,000 feet of lumber in booms
back of the Islands near the mouth
of Mineral creek and will have the
logs towed over to the sawmill this
week. The renewal of activities at
the sawmill will give employment to
a number of men. Mr. Finical be
lieves that the railroad activities of
the government in Alaska will create
a good demand for high-class native
lumber such as the Copper River mill
turns out, and will stock up his yards
to meet the demands for building ma
terials of all kinds.
