CYCLONE AT
FAIRBANKS
Small Twister Causes Some Damage4
to Metropolis of the
Interior
That Fairbanks is not totally out of
the tornado zone is evidenced by the
fact that several small cyclones have
lately visited the community. None of
them did any damage, however, until
July J, when a warehouse of the
Northern Commercial company was
partially unroofed and some of the hot
houses at the Arctic Greenhouse were
broken. It is estimated that it will
take several hundred dollars to repair
the damage done.
This cyclone came from the south
east. It swept from the direction of
the Valdez trail as it leaves town,
crossing Cushman street at Gordon’s
store. It then swept on toward the
river, striking the N. C. warehouse on
Second avenue after taking the roof
otr another smaller warehouse on
Third and Barnette, then to the Arc
tic Greenhouse, where it destroyed the
roofs of some of the hothouses. Its
force was evidently spent there, how
ever, for it did no more damage, al
thougn it could be observed by the
cloud of dust which it raised until it
reached a point far across the river
as it traveled in the Chena direction.
This is the third cyclone this sum
mer. One of them was observed a
few days ago on the river as it picked
up a small boat moored at the foot of
Wendell avenue and deposited it in the
middle of the river . Another was ob
served on the Garden Island side at
an early hour yesterday morning.—

TODAY.
If we have sold a fish or two
That was not very good,
We lay the fault to none but you,
Then it was understood
That you should come wl®n fish ar
rives.
Too late, you ever were.
In ice the fish but shortly thrives,
Today is timely, fair.
But never is next week some day
The time to come for fish.
Bethink your money’s worth, it may
You bring a splendid dish.
Instead you roar and we are sore,
And all is wrong all round,
Because you did not come before.
Today, come got your pound!
