FIRE STARTS IN
CATHOLIC CONVENE
Sisters Awakened By Smoke—Fire
Department Soon Controls Flames
—Damage Is $200.00.
The Ursuline Convent was discov
ered to be on lire yesterday morning
at 1:30 by the Sisters of the Convent
and they promptly turned in an alarm,
bringing the fire department to the
scene, and in the meantime they were
able to confine the flames to the mu
sic room, in which it started. The
damage is estimated at $200.00.
How the fire originated is a mys
tery. Not a sign of smoke was vis
ible at 12:30 o’clock Saturday night
when C. G. Wulff passed the convent.
At 1:30 the house was filled with
smoke. The (fire must have been
burning for hours as it had burned a
hole through the floor and an 8 x 8
joist was burned almost in two.
The blaze started just under the
stove which, however, was on legs
eight inches from the floor, leaving
a good air space under the stove. A
stove board protected the floor, yet
the indications are that the blaze
started under this board and smolder
ed for hours, finally burning its way
through the floor.
Fortunately the flames did not reach
the studing or else considerable dam
age would have resulted.
The convent building is one of the
best built structures in Valdez and is
plastered with wood fiber plaster. The
rooms are tight, keeping air from the
blaze until it had burned its way
through the floor. The smoke which
leaked through the cracks at the
door finally filled the house, awaken
ing the Sisters, who sought safety
after turning in an alarm.
The fire department extinguished
the blaze, using the big stream of
water under the building and a chem
ical in the music room, thus avoid
ing any great damage by water.
CIVIC LEAGUE

The Valdez Civic League will give
a dance at Moose hall on Thanksgiv
ing evening. The proceeds of the
dance will be used to carry on the
work of the league. The ladies prom
ise the dance will be one of the best

a large patronage.
