Industry is falling into two classes
—essentials and less essentials. And
by essentials we mean essential to
the prosecution of the war.
In foods there are also the vitally
essential foods and the less essen

and fats—are essential. Kresh vege
tables, perishables of many kinds,
bulky, unshippable foods, are—in a
niilitary sense -the less essential.
The second year of our participa
tion in the war brings us a broader
plan for food conservation. No so
much emphasis on this particular
item and that, but a steady pressure
in all directions. The most careful
and thrifty conservation, the elimina

SLIDE CAUSES
DAMAGE ALONG
WATER FRONT
Log Breaks Salt Water
Main of Alaska-Juneau
Resulting in a Mud
Slide to Beach.
SLIDES BEEN REPORTED
Flood of Rain Again Raises
Gold Creek and Causes
Slides in Silver
Bow Basin.
1 two o'clock this morning, a
| slide of mud and gravel came tear
j itig down the hillside North of the
Alaska Juneau mill, resulting in ap
j proximately $5,000 damage to busi
ness houses along the waterfront
near the City Dock.
Superintendent Richards, of the Al
aska Juneau, stated this morning
that the slide was caused by a large
log starting from above the Alaska
Juneau track, plunging over the
snowsheds of the track and taking
out about 20 feet of the main 24
inch salt water pipe Tine. In his
opinion it was fortunate that the
Inf? struck the water main, even
though it caused a slide, for had it
not hit some obstruction, the big
timber would no doubt have gone on
down to the beach and probably re
sulted in completely smashing some
I of the buildings or killed someone.
The water from the pipe line soup
caused the loose dirt an<| gravel to
form a slide which greatly damaged
the furnishings and s'tock of the Man
hattan Hotel, the McMillan Grocery
and the cleaning and pressing es
tablishment of Solomon, the tailor,
just opposite the City Dock.
The Manhattan Hotel is apparent
ly the greatest sufferer from the wa
ter and mud. Every room in the
house was filled with mud and wa
er while the stock of cigars and to
baccos were practically ruined from
ibe deluge of water running in from
ihe upper floors. The loss to the
Manhattan is estimated to be be
tween $2,000 and $3,000.
All the merchandise consisting of
tlour, potatoes and goods stored on
he lower floors of the McMillan Bros
store were practically ruined but
'he goods on the shelves sustained
no damage. Mr. McMillan stated
this morning that only for their con
crete bulkheads in the rear of the
store where most of their goods were
stored, the loss would have been
much greater.
The Solomon tailor shop building
sustained the most damage, in fact
being the only building whh-h was
damaged, the other loss being only
‘o the furnishings. The main floor of
he tailor shop was broken in from
he weight of mud and water and will
have to undergo extensive repairs.
Workmen were busy this morning
clearing out the damaged rooms and
goods and the city street cleaning
department had the debris from the
street w-ell in hand by ten o’clock.
The rooms of the Manhattan Hotel
and the McMillan store resembled
those of the Gastineau Hotel and
Wills store during the recent slide
in that vicinity.
Slide Near Ebner
Yesterday during the severe rain
storm. two more slides occurred in
Gold Creek Basin, near the Ebner
mine. One of the slides occurred in
the exact location of the former,
sloughing off the earth's surface a
few weeks ago when so much damage
was done by the rising Gold Creek.
Superintendent Oswell had started
to rebuild the blacksmith shop which
was taken out by the first slide, tho
frame work just being completed.
During the hard rain he told the
workmen to go home as it was too
bad for anyone to be' out. Within
an hour after the workmen had gone.
thousands of tons of dirt and rock
came down the hill and again com
pletely covered the spot where the
blacksmith shop stood.
The other slide on the Persever
ance road is further up from the
Ebner buildings above the Ebner
pipe line which was taken out dur
ing the first flood.
Gold Creek in Flood
More reports of Gold Creek being
very high and flooding the lower
sections of the Caijey Shattuck Addi
tion, came in yesterday aqd for a
time many residents in that section
feared a repetition of the first dis
aster.
