Before Sever Weather Comes-It

Would Save $500 in This
State.
The following letter from the state
fire marshal of South Dakota, warn
ing the people Of the state against
defective chimneys, has been re-
ceived by The Journal:
Pierre, S. d., Dec. 5.
In the agricultural states in which
records of all fire losses are kept
the loss from neglected flues is, in
the average year. s106, 900 per mil
lion population. So the waste in
South Dakota from this cause is at
least $4,000 per annum.
If each householder should in
spect his chimneys before severe
weather arrives, and remedy defects
in them, that amount would be re-
duced at least $4,000. Why not
protect your property and its oc-
cupants by devoting ten minutes
time to this commonest of all fire
dangers?
Fires from defective chimneys,
usually being in the attic, get a good
start in the dryest Of wood before
the alarm is raised. Attics being
difficult Of access 90 one with a
water bucket, the fire is likely to
get beyond control.

. Alpin NIisadvcnturc.

Among the many Sports winch III
recent years have been INDUCED in
only with increasing peril to life is
mountain climbing in the Alps. Les
lie Stephen calls the Alps the play
ground Of Europe and no lover of
walking and climbing is content un-
til he has adventured among them.
Nowhere else are there so many con-
v%eniences for the climber, and no.
where else are maps and guidebooks
d%etainahle In such detail.
Tho very conveniences and advan-
tages for climbing, have however,
proved a source of temptation to per-
sons with a moderate amount of ex-
perience to essay difficult climbs with
out the aid of professional guides,
and, indeed, sometimes such attempts
are made by solitary individuals.
therein seems to lie one of the great
causes Of the many accidents.
Official statistics show that this
past season there have been rs ac-
cidents in the Alps resulting in death
and $50 resulting in injuries serious
enough to be registered. The Swiss
and the German climbers have con-
tributed most of the fatalities; then
come the English and finally the
Italian. Flower-gathering, especial
,ly the search for Bdelweiss, has
caused many deaths, the number in
Gliding at least four women who got
in dangerous situations before they
appreciated it and were unable to
make'tneir way out. Other accidents
have been due to heart failure, and
it is coming to be believed that fire.
quent accidents accidents attribute,
to missteps are due to h%eartfailure
as the result Of prolonged exertions
in rarefied air.
There have been two suggestions
made this year for the protection o
|life-one that Switzerland, France
Italy and Austria unite to prohibit
ascents dangerous places without
the services of registered guides, ant
the other that medical advice b
made available for climbers in som
OF the most frequented' regions, an,
also at the terminal stations of fun
%icular railroads. 81.
AS with other sports. that produc'
many deaths. it is certain that mucl
of the danger may be removed with
out materially spelling the sport it
self. Efforts ossthat end will con
tinue to be made until the annua
statistics OF casualties show a chang

The Stoyepipe.

A s%tovepipe must be cleaned. Jar
ring the SCOT out is not enough; a
scraper should be used inside it to
remove scales. Then it should be
inspected section by section for rust
holes which might permit sparks to
fly outward instead Of upward,
There is a widespread impression
that the job Of stovepipe cleaning
should be approached with calmness,
fortitude and resolution. But for
the fact that Job. the great exemplar
Of patience, vas a tent-dweller, m
might think he referred to stove
pipe cleaning when he said: yet
man is born unto trouble as the
sparks fly upwards" See that the
pipe when up is spark-tight through
out and is not pushed into the hue
so as 10 choke 1t.
The Elbow.
An elbow in a stovepipe lessons
the liability of particles Of kindling
or fuel being drawn frum the chin
ney top ard alighting still re ho1
on the shingles. II such sparks are
given elbow room they are likel.' to
bump in making the turn, and fall
harmless. While a fire Is burning
the cir in a chimney travels UP at
the rate Of three to six feet q sec
ond, %Unplugged and rag-illed stove
pipe holes cause some fires.
A stovepipe should not pass where
it cannot be seen, as through q latr
and plaster partition, or through ar
attic or unused room, because open
ings in 1t may occur from rust OF
the parting Of a eam or joint. And
too, in such situation the stovepipt
becomes covered with a fluff whicl
is liable to ignite. Neither should
pipe pass through roof, window o,
siding, even Of a summer kitchen, 70,
it is liable to become red-hot.
No f1ue should be smaller thai
6 by 8 inches, which is the lengtl
OF a brick. II any green wood i
used 1t should be s by IL inches. :
fireplace chimney must have at leas
one-tenth the area Of the fireplac
it serves.
The effective way to deal with thi
enormous loss from defective flue
is through a state building law simi
lar to that Of North Carolina, who
controls the building of chimney
and many other details Of architec
ture. This would cure the evil /
fifty years. Frank A. Craft,
State Fire Marshal.

HOW TO CHOOSE
A MODEL WIFE
REV. J. c. REID DELIVERS FIRST
SERMON OF SERIES ON THIS
SUBJECT.

To a large congregation at the First
Presbyterian church last night, Rev
James Clement Reid, gave the first of
his series on Marriage and Divorce"
The series is given in view of the large
amount of divorces which are being
granted throughout the country and in
hope that those who hear the series
may be benefited The text last night
was from Genesis XIV, Z, THE Lord
God of heaven shall send messer-
ger before thee and thou shalt take a
wife for thy SON. The subject for
next Sunday is: Marrying the wrong
man"
Taking the courtship of Isaac and
Rebecca as a model one Rev. Reid
contrasted it with the many foolish
marital unions which are being made
daily throughout the world. Several eX-
amples of these foolish marriages were
given-the proposal made on the train
by two people becoming acquainted
W O nave never met OCIoiS ~id 49,
imagine they are in love, the accepted
proposal resulting from a Irritation and
from which both are too game TO
back down; the marriage made as a
commercial proposition, all these were
brought into sharp contrast with the
marriage of the two Biblical charac-
tiers.
In this courtship the father took a
hand He sent out a servant VINO
found Rebecca, a model woman for a
wife-beautiful. industrious. large
hearted and unselfish, hospitable. a
good daughter, she had all the requi-
sites of good helpmeet.

of the human race is serious mat

BIOGRAPHY OF JUDGE UPTON
AS GIVEN IN RECENT PUBLlCA-
TON OF YALE CLASS
OF 1877.

William B. Milton of this city who
during the last few years of William
Henry Uptons life was associated
with him as law partner, is in receipt
of a supplement to the history of class
~" Yale university. In this supple
ment APPEARS the brief biography of the
late Judge VIM H. Upton who was one
if Walla Walla's leading attirneys, as
we'll as one of the best known Masons
, in the northwest.
The brief sketch is given as follows:
'Upton's sudden death from heart
Washington, on November 3, 1906. He
had confided to only few friends the
fact that he was not in good health,
and he was apparently vigorous until
a few days before his illness termi-
mated fatally. The funeral took place
November 5, 1906 at the home of his
son. William HOLSTER Upton.
Upton was born in Weaverville,
California, June 10, 1854. Two years
later he removed with his fathers
family to Sacramento, and thence, in
1865, to Portland, Oregon. After grad
uating at the Portland Academy in
1871, he studied at the Bishop Scott
Grammar school, and entered Yale
with the class of 1877 For three years
after graduation he studied law at
Washington, D. c., receiving the de-
1880 from Columbia university. He
held an official position in the Navy
DEPARTMENT, but, in 1880, removed to
Walla Walla, and began practice as a
lawyer. He was member of the city
council and afterward of the legisla-
ture, and in 1889 was elected one of
the first Superior Judges of the state
He was reelected Judge in 1892 his
political opponents declining to nomi-
nate a candidate against him. He re-
sumed the practice of law in 1897, not
having sought another renomina tin.
He established an office in Seattle but
in August, 1898. the death of his wife,
to whom he was most tenderly at
tached, changed his plans. A fortune
which he had accumulated having also
been lost. he returned to Walla Walla
and RESUMED the practice of his pro-
fession. He was associated for several
years with his elder brother, Charles
B Upton This brother died less than
year before the death of Upton II,
leaving large estate, consisting part
ly of $4,000 acres of the best wheat
land in Walla Walla county, a terri
for it's wheat producing qualities. A
