young people.
Another special feature of this
service will be the violin solo by
\at Carlough, a Boy Scout cf Sel
oovia, and Mr. Vincent’s general
assistant around the the Mission
ary vessel. One thing which makes
the playing of Mr. Carlough un- j
usual is the fact that he accident- ^
aily lost parts of three fingers, j
• he ones used to manipulate the
strings so that he has reversed
Ais playing, a-nd though he contin- '
aes to tune the instrument for!
right-hand playing, he plavs with'
the left hand. I

THURSONT NFTERNOON
I Fire starting from as yet an un
| determined cause swept over a
large tract of mountainous land
yesterday afternoon, just north of
the Seward Fisheries plant, and
swept by a strong southerly wind,
ate its way far up the gulley be- J
fore it ran its course. Clouds of J
smoke poured into the heavens, ;
and until late last evening the I
bright red tongues of flame were j
still eating into the smaller un- J
derbrush lower down toward the '
road. *
Valiant work was performed by
the Seward volunteer fire depart
ment, assisted by scores of resi
dents, in running a hose high up
the mountainside where, even at
such height, the strong pressure
sent a heavy stream into the low
er reaches of the flames, subduing
them, but the advanced flames
! were far beyond reach and trav
eling fast up a draw.
Sparks from the fire were blown
south of the cannery, where they
ignited dry timber, but were Quick
ly extinguished by watchful vol
unteers.
Various rumors are afoot as to
the cause of the fire, among which
is one to the effect that picnickers
let a blaze get away from them.
Whatever the cause was, it
is timely to warn that there is a
strict territorial law against either
setting a fire or allowing one to
get away. This not only applies
to forests, but to any portion of
the public domain.
