DETAILS OF THE FIRE -
OVER AT ANCHuKAGE
ANCHORAGE. Oct. 11.—The nium
moth hall of the Alaska Labor I'nion
was burned to the ground last night.
The tire started about 11.40 o’clock
and it took the tire God Vulcan just
two hours to totally destroy what it
had taken many days of hard work by
over one thousand representative la
boring men of Anchorage to build up.
K. B. Wood was the tirst person to
see the flames and sound the alarm;
by the time the tire department and
volunteers hail reached the scene the
building was doomed and all efforts
were concentrated in saving the num
erous smaller residences that sur
rounded the hall. That this was ac
complished is due solely to the hard
work of the men of Anchorage. As
is usual on such occasions many ludi
crous incidents happened and much
unnecessary work performed, but tin
hard fact remains that the mr.gniti
cent structure erected by the brains
and brawn of the Alaska Labor I'nion
and stood as a tilting monument to
their efforts was totally destroyed.
At least a thousand citizens o' An-1
choruge stood by and watched the
flames reduce to ashes what has ever
been a source of pride to the city and
the largest building of its kind in Al
aska.
While there is common talk that the
tire was of incendiary origin the of
ficials of the union do not credit the
report ami are unanimous in the opin
ion that it started from a defective
flue. Mr. Wood was walking across
4th avenue to the post office when he
noticed the flames that came from the
north east corner of the building, the
location of the stove. The inflamma
ble paper and cloth decorations and
other dry material in the building can
readily account for the rapid head
way the fire made. The building was
occupied last night by the regular
Sunday night meetings presided over
by Rev. Jack Punstan and Mr. Pun-1
stan and Bill Blau, the janitor, left
the building together about 11 o’clock.
Blau slept in the building and said, in
CHA$. a. silzer
Democratic Candidate Cor Delegate to Congress.
speaking of the lire to a representa
tive of the Times, that he closed the
stove draft and turned out all the
lights before leaving for his custo
mary nightly lunch up town and while
the tire in tin* stove was bunting read
ily it was not out of the ordinary.
Secretary Ringstead also occupied the
building for sleeping quarters but was
not present at last night’s meeting.—
