FAIRBANKS CITIZEN

of January 30th, according to the N'e

In addition to destisiying the building
occupied by the Citizen, the fire also
destroyed several adjoining structures
According to the News, practically all
of the river side of the Citizen block
was reduced to ashes, with the • k
ception of the Davis building, which

and water was saved from the total
destruction shared by the rest of th<
block. The fire started shortly afte
|3 p. m. and within a remarkably shor
tifne. tlie N’ews says, the Citizen build
ing was burned to the ground, prac
tically nothing having been saved. The
efforts of the firemen were directed
chiefly to saving the rest of the block,
when it was seen that the Citizen
building was doomed.
The fire started in the business of
fice of tlie Citizen, presumably from a
heater. .1. Harmon C.iskey. the owner!
of the plant, was in the printing de
partment running a press at the time
tho fire developed and failed to dis
cover the blaze until it had obtained
considerable headway. When the fire
department reached tlie scene the
building was a mass of flames. Mr.
Caskey received several burns about
the fare while trying to rescue some of
bis property. The Citizen plant was
one of the most complete printing
plants in Alaska. In addition to much
costly machinery. Mr Caskey also had
a large quantity of papor stock in the
building, as well as elaborate house
hold furnishings. The value of the
building and contents is estimated at
$36,000. some of which was insured.
Following the disaster, the Fairbanks
News Miner offered the use of its plant
to the Citizen and two issues of the
latter journal were printed with the
Miner equipment but it was rinnlly
decided to suspend publication.
Investigation of the burned Citizen
plant later indicated there was a pros
pect that some of the machinery might
be saved but at best much labor and
new parts would be
needed
