McGrath Notes.
McGrath, May 1.—The Commercial
Club held a meeting a couple of days
ago and decided to clear a site for an
aviation field. A suitable place was
found about a mile down the river from
town, and a gang of men are now at
work clearing and leveling o(T the site,
which it is expected will be readyfor
the De-xt trip of the mail aeroplano.
John Strand, of Eagle creek, was a
visitor to town fora few days.
Louis Blackburn left recently for the
scene of his summer operations on Hid
den creek.
James Pernie was a recent arrival
■from his headquarters on Big river.
Billy McGowan and Charlie 'Cowan
left recently for their camp down river.
Charlie Kueaig and family left a
couple of days ago for Karl creek.
Pete Michels left today for a trip to
Iditarod.
Joe Oates’ Residence
Consumed by Flames
The Joe Oates residence, on the op
posite side of the bridge spanning
Clear creek, was entirely consumed by
tire last Saturday afternoon. The fire
started about 5:15, made an exceeding
ly hot blaze while it was lasted, and it
was a Biatter of only twenty minutes,
or thereabouts, before the building was
burned to the ground.
Mr. and Mrs. John Rieck and family
and Miss Rose Oates occupied the
building at tbe time of the fire.
So rapid was tbe outburst of flames,
presumably originating from a defec
tive Sue. that practically nothing was
saved, barring the apparel worn by the
unfortunate losers. Mr. Rieck lost sev
eral valuable papers, a sum of money
&Dd a watch. Miss Rose Oates is also a
heavy loser, mainly a chest containing
many articles highly prized by her.
Tbe building, which was one of tbe
best hereabouts, was built several years
ago by Tom Boyd, who a couple of
years ago disposed ot it to Mr. Oates,
wbo with his family occupied it until
last fall.
