SAVING OF LIVES
GRAND WORK OF THE LIFE saw
ING SERVICE.
EIGHT HUNDRED RESCUED
Millions Of Dollars Worth of Property
Saved-Good Work at San Fran
cisco-Now Two Hundred and Sew
enty-Eight Stations.

Notwithstanding work was
accomplished during the past year by
the life-saving service of the govern
ment. thousands OF imperiled lives and
millions of dollars worth of property
being saved through the heroism and
unremitting vigilance of the lie corps.
General Superintendent klmball
shows in his annual report
that the number of marine DIS
asters was $40 in the waters OF the
United States. In these forty-nine YES
sells and twenty mine lives were lost
and S11 persons were succored at the
various stations. The total value OF
personal property saved was Sl2,20O,
100, while that lost was S2,II5,O4o. In
the disasters $500 lives were 1mper-
lied.
AT the close of the last fiscal year
the live saving establishments com
prised 27S stations, of which 200 were
upon the Atlantic coast, sixty upon the
great lakes, sixteen upon the Pacific
coast proper and one each at the falls
of the Ohio river and Nome, Alaska.
The life-saving cre2s rendered assist
ance of more or less importance to
397 vessels in addition to those which
were lost Patrolmen and station
lookouts also warned ninety-seven
steamers and seventy-seven sailing
vessels which were running into dan
ger, the warnings undoubtedly averted
disasters which would have caused
loss of both life and property.
Particularly valuable assistance, 1t
is noted, was rendered by the life-sav-
ing crews at San Francisco during the
earthquake and confagration last
April. in fighting the fire. transporting
supplies and sheltering the homeless.
Superintendent Kimball says that
during the year seven of the largest
sized lifeboats have been equipped
with gasoline engines. They consti-
tute a most important addition to the
life-saving equipment and materially
enlarge the radius of the effective
work of the crews.
Superintendent Kimball points out
that the great service has cost the gov
eminent only S1,SS2, 4G5. He urges
strongly the benefits of retirement be
given to officers and men of the service
who become disabled through injury
or disease or incapacitated by age.

Van wyks File Insurance Claim.

Denver.-Attorneys Isaac Pelton and
r. ID, Rees, representing Wourtje Van

trict Court against the State Life In
surance Company of Indiana for the re
covery of $4,000 insurance on the lie
of Gerretje Hast, who died some time
between December 2Sth and Slst last
year. The reason that the suit was
filed, Attorney Rees said, before the
second trial for murder of the Van
Wyks, is because to retain any claim
upon the insurance the suit had to be
filed within a year of Gerretje Hast S
death. This is provided for in the pol

Denver. - Charles Taylor. State
boiler inspector, has submitted the
eighteenth annual report of that de-
partment to Governor Mcdonald. Dur
ing the period from December l, 1905,
to November 80, 1906, there have been
Lip boilers inspected, rich fees col
lected and certificates issued for that
number. There were no boiler explos-
ions in the state during that period,
but many boilers were found defective,
for which repairs were ordered Five
boilers were condemned. Mr.. Taylor
states that the tendency to substitute
high pressure for low is responsible
for the fact that there is no increase
in the number of boilers in use.
