Montrose House
Damaged In Fire
Fire of unknown origin com
pletely gutted the residence of
Harry Montrose early Wednes
day evening. The one-story
frame building, located on the
site of the old Russian cemetery,
owned by Montrose and occupied
by him at the time, was insured,
but no insurance was carried on
the contents.
The owner was not home at
the thne of the fire but Jim Hol
land, one of the fiist to arrive at
the scene, said he thought he
saw someone leave the building.
In helping extinguish the fire
Holland was overcome by the
dense smoke and had to be
dragged from the building.
Three chemical engines and
numerous hand extinguishers
had to be used to put the fire
out and the firemen were handi
caped by dense smoke, most of
which was believed due to a
davenport, which was carried
from the building.
Importance Of
Aleutian Chain
(continued from page 6)
quake Zone. In the earthquake
of 1899 a broad region of Alaskan
mountains and sea bottom sud
denly sprang up many feet. In
the Disenchantment Bay vicinity
the maximum coastal uplift was
47 feet. At the time of the Tokyo
Yokohama earthquake of 1923
the bottom of nearby Sagami Bay
suffered startling changes. The
deleveling amounted to a maxi
mum shallowing of 800 feet in
one part of the bay and a maxi
mum deepening of 1,300 feet in
another part. In such a zone
soundings taken 85 years ago need
recheeking. Then the only avail
able charts of Kuliliak Bay, Un
alaska Island, Svieechnikof Har
bor Amilia Island, and Korovin
Bay. Atka Island, are base! “on
Russian authority,” as is also in
part the chart of Constantine
Harbor, Amchitta Island; yet the
United States Coast Pilot, a Gov
ernment publication, warns that
“the early Russian surveys were
not made with great accuracy,
and until they are placed by
later surveys these charts must
be used with caution.
