KETCHIKAN BLAZE CAUSES
$50,000 PROPERTY LOSS
A pot of > tar catching on fire
in Ketchikan recently, caused a
: property loss of nearly $50,000,
I badly damaging the McKay Mar
ine Railway, destroying a ware
house owned by Hans Apsch and
damaging adjoining property, re
ports the Chronicle.
When the fire department was
called to the scene, the Apsch
warehouse was a roaring furnace,
with huge clouds of black smoke
| pouring from under the sidewalk,
I from the marine ways and Gill’s
! Laundry & Cleaners, across the
| street from the scene of the fire.
The fire boat also hurried to
the scene but the tide was out
and had to be laid some distance
, before a stream could be directed
on the fire which had spread to
, the marine ways.
Several lines of hose from the
. truck were first connected with
| the low-pressure main, but some
| of the streams were too weak to
; have much effect. More hose was
; secured and attached to the high
| pressure hydrant and main at
the White Cliff school and the
pump was put on the low pressure
lines Meanwhile the fire boat
got its hose laid and turned a
'powerful stream into the flames.

RECEIVED BAD CUT
Fred Miller of Ketchikan, pro
bably owes his life to the fact
that Dr. G. E. Dickinson was on
hand to attend him promptly at
Helm Bay when a knife with
which he was skinning a deer,
slipped and entered his leg to the
bone. He was brought to Ketchi
kan on the Isis, the doctor’s boat,
and is now at home, says the
Chronicle.

gems were taken from a room ad
joining those of Mr. and Mrs.
Walker
BILL JONES
EDS MORE INCOME
Winter is approaching and the
children’s school expense will be
higher this year than last. Bill
looks forward to less income in
the regular way. Many industries {
have shifted to the “zigzag” plan
for their employees in an effort
to help everyone thru the winter.
This means that each employee
will have about half as much in
come. Prices of clothing and food
have come down some, but not in
keeping with the “zigzag” income.
There will be just as much coal to
buy and rent to pay. Bill must
buy and rent to pay. Bill must
have more money than he can
expect from his usual sources.
He has some money in the sav
ings bank drawing 3 per cent in
terest. While it is true that money
was put there for a “rainy day”
it isn’t bringing him any income
worth mentioning; and $20 or $40
or even $100 of that wouldn’t go
very far on a “rainy day.” He
needs more money coming in.
Bill Jones is the average Amer
ican. He knows that many a man
in exactly his financial condition
has invested part of his money J
and has made enough return to
give him the added income he j
needed. But Bill knows there is j
some speculation with every in-'
vestment, no matter what it is or !
how good it sounds.
He doesn’t know whether he
should take any chances on either
his savings account or his present
income. Of course his savings ac
count is not absolutely safe; he
realizes more money has been lost ■
by depositors thru bank failures j
during the last 10 years than!
thru any single line of investment j
other than the stock market crash ;
in 1929. Being a true American
and realizing that “nothing risked,
nothing gained,” he likes to take
a chance. Bill is a cautious fel
low and wants to speculate, but
he doesn’t want to lose his money, j
So he tosses aside all the “wild
eyed” promises and impractical
guarantees that flood the mails
and seeks out a chance to specu
late with the safety of a flowing
oil well to fall back on if the
well he bets on turns out to be
dry. If the new well comes in
big, Bill should make a profit
of 10 times his investment. If
he doesn’t he still has his money
where it should pay him dividends,
over a period of years, twenty
times larger than the savings
bank interest. And he has the
speculative chance of making a
real fortune if the newr well comes
in good. He wants to speculate
with his “fingers crossed, ’ as it
were, and that is exactly what
be does when he accepts our spe
cial Pool offer, and shares in one
gusher while we drill for another.
Write us for full information,
but better still—mail us $20, $100,
or even $200, and share in our
next dividend. If you are like
Bill Jones, we might help you.

CHANGE METHOD
The Ketchikan Chamber of
Commerce at a regular meeting
recently, voted to accept the re
commendation of the membership
committee calling for collection
of funds from Ketchikan firms in
an annual drive, and heard the
proposition for a change in the
by-laws which would eliminate
the initiation fee and thereby
enable new members to come into
the organization at less cost than
formerly. The idea of the budget
collection is to get away from the
former practice of calling upon
business firms and various indi
viduals to pay the cost of all ex
tra activities, reports the Chroni
cle.
