Eagles Lodge At Skagway Soldier Host Fund for Recreational Fa- cilities at Chilkoot Barracks Grows The Eagles Lodge at Skagway has fitted out a recreational room with pool tables, newspapers and plenty of chairs for the boys from Chilkoat Barracks to make their headquarters when they go in to the city at the head of Lynn Canal, it was an- nounced today by Adjutant General W. R. Mulvihill, who returned last week-end from a trip to the bar- racks. At camp, however, the Juneau men are lacking in recreational equipment as compared to the Ket- chikan company, which has ping- pong tables, footballs, basketballs and other equipment, besides more than $1,000 in their company fund, donated by First City citizens be- fore the boys left their home town. Mulvihill was enthusiastic about the ENTERPRISE FUND, now being sponsored by The Empire, to raise funds for the company and supply them with recreational facilities. Meantime, during the week-end a total of $6 was donated to the fund, while the Parsons Electric Company contributed a year's subscription to The Readers’ Digest, for the Juneau men at Chilkoot Barracks. The donations consisted of $5 from Triangle Cleaners and $1 from Pearl Peterson, of ‘the Forest Service of- fice here. This brings total donations to $81 at noon today, with much more needed to supply the recreational needs of the Juneau company. Per- sons who wish to help along th fund are requested to clip the dona- | tion coupon appearing elsewhere in The Empire and bring it to the newspaper office, along with their contribution.

Dr. Noble Dick, former chairman of the commission, who also resigned his membership on the board, is still in Juneau, awaiting air transporta- tion back to his home in Fairbanks. iled just a few minutes before the 1 explosion. DYNAMITE - MAGAZINE ~ BLOWS UP Unexplained Explosion,| Maybe Started by Fire, Kills Service Men (Conunuea rrom rage One) for officers at the air station as part of $5,000,000 improvements at the air station were among the struc- tures damaged. It is said that Capt. Allen and two soldiers, driving to a brush fire in a fire engine, were killed by the explosion. The fire alarm was sound- SMOKE WAS FIRST HINT OF DANGER IN SITKA BLAST A black plume of smoke writhing | upward against a sodden sky to the wailing echo of a fire siren was | Sitka's first warning of the impend- ! ing disaster which snuffed out at | least six lives on Japonski Island yesterday afterncon, eyewitnesses said today. One eyewitness, who was in an| office on a Sitka pier when the alarm sounded, said the billowing moke was plainly visible from the waterfront although the blaze itself was hidden by the rise of the island. “Somebody went in the office and remarked that the fire seemed to be awfully close to a powder magazine,” the witness said. “He said it might! spread to the powder—and just then it did. Volumes of smoke and flame spurted over the rise with a terrific roar. We didn't feel the concus- sion where we were standing, but uptown windows were shattered by | the explosion. It wasn't until sev-| eral minutes later, when small boats | came over from the island, that we realized how serious a tragedy had | taken place.” i Rumors as to the number killed | in the blast spread rapidly through- out the city and all officers and men i of Army, Navy and Marine detach- ments on liberty in Sitka were ord- | |ered to return to their posts immed- { iately for roll call. | | | | Not until late last night was the known dead list set at six. p eI A Blast af Sitka | Should Never | - Have Happened (Continuea from Page One) | sives | Blasting caps should be stored in a ‘fire and weather proof magazine,” |according to rules recommended by the American Institute of Makers of Expiosives. Again, under Territorial law| governing the handling of explo- |sives around mine operations, “in- | flamable material not to be within |60 feet of a magazine,” and ‘no |smoking is to be permitted within |25 feet of a magazine.” | Most specific were the safety | rules set out in the Dupont Blast- | ers’ Handbook: . | “Never store blasting caps with other explosives,” ! “Keep grounds around free of brush and dry leaves.” “Common sense dictates that no {caps should be stored anyplace Iwhere their explosion would set off | sther explosives.” Dubious about trush fire setting the story of a off the explosion, | officials in the Weather Bureau | here pointed out that heavy rains |in the Sitka aréa on Saturday and Sunday would have made all brush| | quite wet. | e ——— Carla Carfer Has Bi_rthday Party The celebration of her third birthday was the occasion Friday afternoon for a party in honor of little Carla Carter, daughter of Dr. |and Mrs. C.
