destroy as much property as is now de-
stroyed on an average every year.
Then, too, the State should require
that every fire, however large or small,
must be reported to the nearest magis-
trate or fire department, with full de-
tails regarding the cause value and
amount of loss as may be known at the
time, and to be by them reported to
the Insurance Departments or Bureau of
Statistics of the State, and by the lat
ter so classified as to show what causes
are most responsible for our fires, and
they should also show how much de-
struetion is owing to the direct cause of
the fire and how much to the exposure
and conhagration. Such statistics would
lay the foundation for wise and intelli-
gent laws for the construction and pro-
lection of property, and be instrumental
in producing the lowest rates at which
they could be safely written, and obyiate
the necessity of all the foolish anti
trust laws as applied to the Insurance
Companies, for every citizen would have
the same information as to the basis
for his calculations that the insurance
companies have. II it were shown that
most of our fires originate from matches
that viii ignite wherever they happen to
lie, such matches will be prohibited, and
it should be penal offense for any in
dividual to carry or bring such matches
where a large number of men, women
and children have to work, or trade or
where they may be gathered together in
places of amusement or instruction. So,
also, should the careless disposition Of
lighted cigars or cigarette stubbs and
candles be made penal offense, and all
owners, architects, and mechanics, who
are in any way responsible for the con-
struction Of defective nue, Fireplace or
chimney, or unsafe setting of a stove,
heating furnace or boiler be likewise
liable to fine or imprisonment upon con-
viction.
Under such government fire and a
water department need not tax the COM
munity far beyond endurance, and in
stead of costing from two to three dol
lars per capita for water and fire de-
partments, as is the average cost in the
larger cities, the cost would be one-half
as great and the security ten times
greater.
| trust have succeeded in showing
that only those are philanthropists who
teach the public how to prevent fires
and confagrations, and not those who
clamor for more water, more fire appara-
fuses, and confagration breeding "fire
limit" laws, without first having taken
into consideration the "ounce of preven-
tion" which will make the pounds and
tons of cure unnecessary.

To the Editor.
At q time when the unparalleled
catastrophe which destroyed over half Of
the city at the Golden Gate is still
fresh in our memories and still exciting
the sufferers, s,-both inassured and insur-
ers. it would not seem to be out OF
place to reflect on the causes which led
to such disastrous consequences. 1t
seems to be generally accepted that the
great calamity was beyond human power
to prevent or foresee. While this may
be true OF the primary cause of the
catastrophe, is is equally true of the
|eonhagration which followed it,

hundred other confagrations within the
same period, which have thrown their
blight over the places swept by them.
and finally Frisco in '06, would never
have had such disastrous results if at
tention had been paid to proper and safe
construction. Is there anyone who be-
lives that there would have been any
such destruction Notwithstanding the
earthquake, if there had been no shingle
roofs, no frame rows! If its few brick
buildings labout seven of the total
number in the city) had not been stud
ded with wooden bay windows and wood
en- trimmings? l there had been no
buildings higher than the width of the
streets on which they front! Fallen or
wrecked buildings would no doubt here
and there have taken fire from broken
gas pipes, broken electric wires, cracked
flues, overturned stoves or lamps,-but
they would have burned themselves out
at the place of origin without spreading
to the adjacent property. The fire de-
ptrtment, in the absence of water. would
have been able to circumscribe the ex-
tent of the confagration, if there was
no infammable material to feed upon in
the immediate vicinity, or to ignite
blocks and miles away from flying
sparks.
The remedy then would seem to be in
better government from the start. The
State must step in and grant no charter
for village, town or city to permit the
of any infammable roofs,
or the erection of any frame building
covering more than $500 square feet in
area, and not then unless such buildings
have at least vacant space about them
equal to their height, or protect the
property by complete fire
walls of brick or other equally fre-re-
sisting material. Then instead of having
six large confagrations in one year we
could hardly have one in ten years to

Members of the Pacific coast dele
cation in congress will not be idle
during the recess of congress. A
party of them representing the states
of Washington, Oregon, California.
Utah and Idaho held a conference
this week to determine upon policy
regarding legislation pertaining to
the Chinese and Japanese. In addi-
tion, several of the members have
left for Panama where they will in
vestigate conditions and will spend
about five days along the route of
the canal. The chief object will be
to determine just what advantages
will accrue commercially to the Pa
cific slope when the canal is opened
and also to learn with as much cer-
tainty as possible about what time
the bic ditch will be finished. so as
TO enable preparations to he made to
lake care of the increased trade. Still
another feature that will be looked
into by the committee going to the
isthmus will be the labor situation.
II has been said that no coolie labor
has been used in the digging of the
ditch. This the committee will see
for itself. for there has been great
outcry on the Pacific slope against
the employment of Chinese. The
committee will return shortly after
the reconvening of congress on jan
uary 3.
