1*R UTICA L METHOD FOR
FIGHTING OIL TANK FIRES
BA KERF 1 ELD, Cal., Sept., 15
Fires that occur in the great storage
reservoirs on the “tank farms” of the
Kern river oil fields near here will b«
smothered by a new system of control
adopted by one of the latgest operat
ing companies in California.
Used in the new fire fighting p!an
is a liquid effervescent chemical ex
tremely opposed to fire. It is formed
by mixing two seperate fluids. These
when merged are spread as a seething
foaming mass upon the surface of the.
burning oil. ami exhaustive tests are
said to have shown that this will
quickly extinguished the fiercest o;1
tank fire.
The big containers for the fluid are
connected with the various oil tanks
so that in case of fire it is only neces
sary to turn on the main valve merg
ing the fluids anti the valve leading to
the particulai tank involved.
Manv hundreds of thousands of dol
lavs have been lost in these fires in
oil storage reservoirs. The “tank
farms'* are comprised of idle land on
which are located scores of concrete
reservoirs each with a capacity of
000 barrels or more of oil. The petrol
eum when ignited in one tank fi-e
quontly will boil over and small rivers
of flame set on fire oil in nearby re
servoirs. The “farms” have been the
scenes of many costly and spectacular
fires.

FACTS ABOUT SEWARD
Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay, midway of
the coast line of the Gulf of Alaska and 1<>0 miles trora
route of the Pacific steamers to the Orient.
The various trade routes of the North Pacific Ocean,
and all the roads and highways and trails and mountain
passes from the interior converge at this point much as it
nature had anticipated the need of a gateway through
which the trade and travel of -a great region might find
convenient passage.
The deep, perfectly protected harbor presents an ob
long surface embracing forty square miles, upon which
any ship that floats may sail in safety at any time, and
w hich in appearance suggests nothing so much as a beauti
ful inland lake.
The mainland and shores of Resurrection supply am
ple space and perfect topography for the building ol a city
of whatever extent future needs may develop; and this cir
cumstance, added to its natural position as a gateway to
the interior, and the freedom from ice at all seasons ol the
harbor and adjacent waters lead the government to select
this port as the ocean terminal for the railroad. The un
li oiled coal and oil and mineral resources of Alaska will
flow through this port to enter the commerce of the world,
aad in return will come the supplies for distribution over
a territory greater in extent than many state combined,
thus making it the great port of (he North Pacific or the
N EW YORK OF ALASKA.
For other facts about Seward and the great district
s.m ounding this city, write to the
SEWARD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
