Oil Soaed Sacking is Set on Fire
With Deliberate Attempt to
Destroy the Town
A carefully planned attempt
was made early in «.»inln*r to
destroy Iditarod by fire, and llial.
I In' plan miscarried is due en
tirely to I In* chance discovery of
(he flames by a paser-by before
I hey had made much headway.
As Sam Applebaum was pass
ing the Miners & Merchants
bank shortly before midnight, he
delected Iho odor of kerosene,
[and looking about for the source,
saw the dull glow of lire in the
I porch of (be building, which is
U,ie largest in town. Applebaum
"quicly turned in the alarm and
the blaze, which was just gelling
a gnod start, was extinguished
jwithout difficulty. Very little
damage was done lo the building,
[but a delay of a few moments
;doubtless would lia\e resulted in
a most disastrous lire. IJn
i known persons had placed oil
| soaked sacking on I lie porch and
'set flre |i> ii, with what appears
■to have been a deliberate attempt
i I<• destroy Hii- town, as a more
{desirable spol for sueh an af

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are Facts."
It i- a fact that Valdcz beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdcz beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdcz beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in vour home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patronize home products.
