STATISTICS CHECK ON CITY WRONGS.
American Society of Municipal Improve
rents committee Submits Report

The report Of the committee municipal data
and statistics which adopted at the conven-
ton OF the American Society of Municipal Improve
ments in October, has just been made public The
report recommends that every city establish a
bureau of municipal statistics. municipal stat
istician and prescrbes that detailed records must
he kept; also. how and when these services shall
be performed and reports made for the information
ard benefit of living and future inhabitants.
The report says that in the opinion of the commit
tee the good government of city depends on the
general competency of the city officials and that
the failure of of the cities TO be well governed
Is due to the fact that the officials lack elements
that would be necessary in the successful manage
Inent of business OF any kind. The report says:
The experience of modern municipal life demands
that the following interests, common TO all the IN
habitants. best placed under direct indirect
health fire, police taxes, license, excise, or control
Of alcohol. morals, or control or entertainments or
distractions which tena to debase character, IL
bTares legislation. Law. justice, markets, water
supply, sewers paYements, street cleaning, public
lighting parks and Fairgrounds, public baths, com
fort stations, public docks Streetcar traffic public
statistics and other utilities.
The measure of success of each Of the many de-
partnents of municipal life be determined by
complete and properly arranged data and statistics
Of each department.
Nothing checks wrongdoing in public private
life as surely correct data statistics. If any
one openly or secretly opposes establishing and
maintaining such records and statistics. his motives
to be suspected.

ne Ii Difficult For Fire to Burn In
the Sunlight.
ssDid you ever know that Ares don't
burn as well In sunlight as they do In
the shade or at night 2" asked my
friend, the man much given to hunting
and fishing. ssOf course they don't
seem to because of the greater light
from the sun, but | mean as an actual
fact they don't I noticed this thing
when on q hunting trip up in Maine
first, and how it happened to attract
my attention was that the fire went
out, totally out, before the sticks We're
entirely consumed. The wood was dry
and resinous, and there was no reason
why every particle Of it shouldn't have
burned. The guide told me he had mo-
ticed the same sort Of thing innumer-
able times when fires were burning In
the sunlight, and this started me on an
Investigation which proved in actual
practice that open fires not only don't
burn so well when the suns rays are
shining on them and fail to throw. out
as much heat by thermometric tests,
but often are actually extinguished by
the sun II the rays a ~ light and
strong enough. Coal fires are affected
just the same as wood. Strange to say,
several scientists to whom have APP
pealed asserted that the suns rays
could have no effect whatever on a
fire. They do, however. know this
beyond all shadow Of doubt. and
wonder what the reason Is. Other sci
entists say It's because the heat of the
sun adds to the consumptio of oxygen
Of the atmosphere which "a necessary
to blaze and also produces carbon,
which helps q extinguish the fire."

R. R. WRECK
NARROW ESCAPES FROM DEATH
IN RECENT WRECK NEAR
JAMESTOWN.

Jamestown Alert, 18th: Hundreds
of people visited the scene of the
wreck east of the city yesterday and
enterprising photographers sold many
dollars worth of views of the cars and
engines piled up in such an unusual
manner on the prairie. The wonder
that no lives were lost increase on
view of the wreck. Engineer Fisk's
escape from death Is also wonderful
He says that the first intimation he
had of the accident was dropping of
the big engine to the ties and then re-
members nothing until he found him.
self out on the prairie crawling around
and very cold. The cars are not badly
damaged, but the engines are in a sad
plight and it will take some time to
get the monsters righted again and on
wheels. The ties and rails are broken
and twisted and one rail Is bent in
nearly a half circle. The trucks are
all forward of the cars to which they
belonged. A few car lengths farther
and the train would have gone over a
steep embankment on both sides of the
track and many lives would no doubt
have been sacrificed. Passengers who
saw the narrow escape that the train
made cannot express their thankful
ness over the luck they had, The rail-
road company had Drs. Sifton and Hill
accompany the west bound passengers
of the wrecked train as far as Mandan
to get statements of any injuries, how
ever slight. A few only reported some
slight bruises and scratches showing
the remarkable freedom from injuries
in such wreck. All passengers spoke
in the highest terms of the considerate
treatment by the company.
