FIRE LADD|ES ID
 WORK FOR RECORD Special Efforts to Be Made
 During Holidays INSPECTION TRIPS TODAY Losses For Next Two Weeks Must Be Under Eighty-eight Thousand Dol lars to surpass the Record
 of Last Year.
INSPECTION TRIPS TODAY

With cold weather, fireworks, big stocks, and number of complications pulling against him, Fire Chief Bennett is doing all in his power to establish a rec ord for the year 1907. He is remaining at his office ready for calls nearly all the time, day and night. Every fireman is continually on duty, as the system of giv- ing days off' has been discontinued, and the department has it's blood up for vic7l tory.
 A party of 24 fremen, divided into F squads of two each is going to start at 7:So o'clock this morning and make de- tailed inspection of every building in the fire limits They will strictly enforce the laws against accumulation of combustible material. The chief has previously given public warming of this inspection, and unless it has been needed some persons are apt to be arrested.
 To Keep Under $392,ooo.
 The effort being made is to close the year with a total loss of less than $392,- 029SS, which was the loss during 1906. If this can be accomplished, it will prob ably be the best record of the depart ment in years. From loss of over S6o0,- 900 on total number of 501 fires, in 1905, the most disastrous year ever known, the loss will have been cut in half, not >withstanding the fact that already there have been 516 fires more than ever before in a single year.
 With but 15 more days to go, there is. still a margin of sS.OoO. The loss for the next two weeks must be held under that figure. It is expected that every citizen will lend aid in reporting fires as quickly as possible. and unless some large fire occurs. the result will more than be ac- complished. Here is table which shows tre correct losses and number of fires for 1907 up to last night:
