fh to clarify the report of
tne Canyon City fire which appear:
ed in the ladt edition of your newe-
paper.
Hand-pump extinguishers and
ladders were used by the men te
prevent other homes from burt-
ing, and a garden hose was attach-
ed to a nearby water pipe after
the fire was reduced to coals, The
charred remains of the large house
belonging to Mr. Percy Azak, and
of five smaller buildings, were hos-
ed down by men from Columbie
Cellulose Company.
The neighboring house, belong:
ing te Mr. Edward Azak, had some
external damage but was not part:
ly gutted, thanks to the courage
of four village man present at the
time. They were Mr. Henry Azak,
Mr. Chester Moore, Mr. Henry
Azak Jr. and Captain Ron Share:
gan of the Salvation Army.

The fire was reported by Mrs.
Captain Sharegan while other vil-
lagerg fought the biaze, with
women and children taking a here-
ie part as well,

Being a small community of Jess
than 100 people, situated between
Alyansh and Greenville, this has
been a great loss to the village
of Canyon City. Action has been
taken to secure for the village, a
water pump engine and adequate
fire hose,

This has been the ‘second home
destroyed by fire in the last four
months.

Yours sincerely, —

Betty Sharegan (Mrs. Captain R.}

youngest son of a Montreal
judge. He grew up in that city,
the headquarters of the swagger-
ing fur traders of the North
West Company, the great adven-
turers of the day. He joined
