SMOULDERING FIRE BREAKS INTO FLAMES Twentv Thousand Dollars Damage Done by Blaze Near Victoria, B. C. VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 14—A fire, which has been smouldering for a year in a sawdust pile, whip- ped into flames by a high wind is believed to be controlled in the green timber after five large dwel- lings, several smaller one and a store. were ‘burned. The damage is estimated at $20,000. The outbreak occurred at the former site of the Shawnigan Lake Lumber Mill, 25 miles north of here. The mill was destroyed a year ago. It is believed the fire which has smouldered in the sawdust was fanned into flames by a wind. The flames ate through the timber to- ward the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railroad tracks and then ignited one bullding, the others falling prey soon after. TALLAPOOSATO VISIT HAINES FOR GUN DRILL Coast Guardr(‘:utler Prob- ably Will Leave Ju- ‘ neau Tomorrow Although she was scheduled to leave today, Juneau's “own” Coast Guard cutter Tallapoosa, probably will not clear port for Halnes un- til tomorrow morning. At the Chil- koot Army Barracks the Tallapoosa créew will observe small-arm target practice as performed by the crew of the cutter Haida. Following this, the “Tally” will turn south for her semi-annual overhaul at Seattle. / Lieut.-Comdr. Fletcher W. Brown said this afternoon that the Haida had left her home port of Cordova 1sst night for the meeting at Haines but had been forced to turn back to return a sick man to a Cordova hospital. Early this morning, the ‘Haida set out again, so the Talla- poosa will remain in port overnight before leaving fot Haines The “Tally's” order read that she | shall remain at Haines util August 25, assisting the Haida orew in its firing during that time. Then she will head south, stopping here but a few hours to pick up malil, and con- | tinuing on south. Captain Brown]‘ sald he did not know in what dry- | dock the ship would receive her| overhaul. The Tallapcosa is expected back in Juneau in about six weeks after leaving for her overhaul. Early this morning, Juneau's cut- ter moved from her regular berth at Government Dock to one along- side the Alaska Juncau Dock. CARLSON TRANSFERRED Orders have been received which transfer Ensign E. V. Carlson of the Tallapoosa to the cutter Northland, according to Captain Brown. ‘The Northland's home port is Se- attle, but she has been replacing the old cutter Bear in Bering Sea work. Ensign Carlson’s place will be tak- en by Ensign William M. Peel, who now is stationed on the Northland. The transfer -will take place while the Tallapoosa is in Seattle for her overhaul. ettty PETERSBURG MAN HERE Andrew Wikan of Petersburg, is a | guest at the Gastineau Hotel.
