WRECKED SHORTLY
KODIAK, Feb., 18, —Special to
the Gateway. After looking calm
ly down upon the picturesque
•■vaterc of Kodiak Bay for 35 years,
;he huge building on the bluffs of
Kodiak near the Russian church, at
one time known as St. Herman’s
Orphanage and Hospital, is to be
torn down. Altho nothing definite
is given out, it is believed to be a
preliminary step in the march of
Kodiak progress, since the building
occupies ground owned by W. j.
rCrskine. who is promoting the pro ;
looting the project to build a huge
[cold storage plant here. Altho the
[plant itself, would of course, not oe
| on this site, it could be used for
other purposes, auxiliary or inci
j dental to the enterprise.
: Off.rially. it is given out by the
|company that the old buildinar is
[being torn down because it is un
is? le. but as it has not been usee
I for any purpose, it would seem that
| this is an unnecessary precaution.
I At ai. y rate, residents of Kodiak,
[take iis removal as a sign that tiie
jcoidl storage plant is really coming
at last
I The old mission which was start
led by the Russian church in 1891
and finished in 1894 is a structure
two and one-half stories high and
about 05 by 40 feet in dimensions.
It is a frame structure and much
of the material can be salvaged.
Bids are being asked by the Erskine
Co., on ?. contract for the wrecking,
the bids closing on February 18.
After an inspection of the work
done during the past six months
at Chichagof, Geo. T. Jackson,
consulting engineer, left for Seat- j
tie last week. The Empire states
no report was issued by him but j
it is indicated the company will j
enlarge the scope of operations, i
