CONTROL, DUE TO RAINS
Heavy forest fires, manifested in
several sections by heavy volumes of j
smoke visible during: many days past,!
are no longer menacing, due to the
heavy rains now prevailing. One of '
these fires, up in the Nixon section,:
had been burning for many days as
also was one in the direction of Tata- ’
lina.
Pilot Waterworth, of the Star Air
Service, who arrived here Tuesday,
reported that back of McGrath am
area of about eight square miles had
been burned. The fire at that time
Was about five miles from McGrath.
The Alaska Road Commission crew
Working between Medfra and the j
Nixon mine has been occupied most'
of the time since they started work- ;
ing there fighting the menacing fires,
able to save eight miles of new cor i
Reports state that over eight miles!
of new coyduroying have been burned,,
and at last accounts the ere wwere
still fighting the flames.
Miss Elsie J. M. Rieek, in a recent
letter to heT mother here, writes as
follows concerning a fire occurring in
the Poorman section a few days age".
“The forest fire closed in about 11
o’clock yesterday. Mr. Shropshire
was down trying to save the barn and
didn’t lenow the fire had reached the
cabins. I threw water o« die tent in
front of the cabin, then camne down
to where I could see Shrop against
the smoke and flame at the barn. I
yelled at him and pointed towards the
cabins. He got what I meant and
came. When he got here the fire was
within a hundred feet of the cook
house and going strong, as there was
a very strong wind blowing. He told
me to run up to Gdegardes to get his
crew and himself to come and help.
I startedoutontherun r cmfw bg mm
I started out on the run and got into
such heavy smoke I couldn’t breathe,
but 1 kept on going. When 1 got al
most to Billy Gragen’s cabin my
lungs were so full of smoke, and my
eyes, that I fell, but I managed to
make it the rest of the way and tell
them. They started out for Shrop’s
place, which is about a half mile dis
tant, but couldn’t make it, as the
flames and smoke were .getting too
thick. And I was stranded there—
couldn't get back to help and nothing
in my cabin would be saved. While
I was up there 1 saw a big black
smoike raise among the rest and I
thought there goes the cabin. I had
nothing but the clothes on my back.
“About three hours later Charlie
Ross broke through the smoke by
hands and knees. He told me when
he came back that the fire had passed
the cabins and everything was safe,
■but I still couldn't make it down
there. Pour o’clock came and 1 began
to get the idea that 1 could make it
through, so Ouegar.de went with me.
The first few feet weren't bad, but

the farther we went the worse it got,
until we had to crawl along in the
bottom of the ditch, and in ■one place
we stopped and dug holes in the ditch
hank and buried our faces in them.
In that way we could get a few
breaths of fresh air, until a gust of
wind came to thin the smoke some.
When it did come we got up and ran
for dear life. So here I am now.:
everything going as usual?'
LEGISLATION FORECAST
TO PUT STOP TO SLUMP*
WASHINGTON.—Senator Steiwer,
member of the banking committee,
has forecast legislation by the next
session of Congress to minimize .the
possibilities of a recurrence of the
panic of 1929 and the last week’s ex
perience with abnormal shrinkage .in
prices.
After asking Pecora to determine
the causes of the recent stock slump,
Steiwer proposed that business lead
ers and economists study three prop
ositions for consideratio nat the next
session. They include:
1. Preparation of a simplified form
of corporate reports, to be used by
all corporations reporting' to the
Treasury, so the reader can tell ap
proximately the liquidating value of
all classes of securities of any corpor
ation at the time the return is made.
2. Adequate curb on short selling.
3. Prohibition of directors of any
corporation increasin g or decreasing j
or suspending payment of dividends !
without first securing from the -stock
holders their authorizaion 60 days in
advance of such action.
