THE COUNTY FAIR.

The management of the Pierce
County Fair are engaged in COM
mendable and praise-worthy effort
to provide an Exhibition which will
in every respect prove faithful
representation of the agricultural
and industrial resources of our
county, and their labors in this
direction should be heartily sup
ported by all. Those who can do so
should place articles on exhibition,
and those who do not should go and
see what others have to exhibit,
renew old acquaintance and form
new ones. One or more days spent
at the FAR will prove not only a
relaxation from business cares and
toll but I'd to broaden your ideas
and give you 4 more com prehensive
view of things in general. Remem-
Der place ana Ellsworth, next
week Wednesday, Thursday and

INDICATING THE CAUSE.


"Carelessness" cannot be &C
cepted as the cause of fire for the
reason that the majority of all fires
are from the carelessness of some
one. All fires, except those star ted
by the burning of an adjacent build
ing or by an incendiary, result from
either carelessness or ignorance.
Adjoining fire" is used to indi-
cate that the fire was started from
the heat or sparks from building
burning near by.
Ashes against wood" covers all
fires started by putting hot ashes
or Goals into boxes or barrels or
against siding or fences. If the
cause is coal dropped through a
crack in the stove, it is charged to
defective stoye."
Burning rubbish" indicates the
cause to have been sparks from a
pile of rubbish which was being
burned to get rid of it, while rub
bish burning" indicates that spark
or blaze by accident lighted rubbish
which had accumulated from neg
lect.
Chimney SCOT burning" is the
label for fires from a dirty chimney
burning out. This is a very COM
mon accident, but it seldom fires a
house that has good roof, and
many housewives know that a hand
full of salt on the fire below it will
extinguish burning SCOT.
Defective hue" is the most COM
mon fire cause. The word "fue"
indicates the whole avenue of escape
from the fire to the outside air. 1t
is the stove-pipe and chimney taken
together.
"Overheated stove" is not salts
factory statement of the cause of a
fire. The reporter should say if the
floor or siding or other material was
ignited by the heat of the stove. A
sound stove properly placed and
protected cannot fire building by
being overheated.
Failure to properly install and
care for heaters costs Wisconsin
people more than half million
dollars year. If father would see
that the floor and wall near the
kitchen stove were protected, and
have needed repairs made in stoves
and 1ues before the first cold wave
of winter, and then take Is minutes
each month to look them over, the
saving would not be far from $780,
| 900 in the state.

WISCONSIN POLITICS.

1t appears to be an established
custom for the big politicians and
their local lieutenants to meet to-
gether at the State Fair for the pur-
pose of taking an account of
stock" and planning for future
dividends" Press reports indi-
cate that this custom was duly OBJ
served at Milwaukee last week when
the following outline is alleged to
have been agreed upon in the Re-
publican camp: A solid Wisconsin
delegation in favor of the nomina-
ton Of Robert M. La Toilette for
President by the next Republican
National Convention, the reelection
of Isaac Stephenson to the United
States Senate, the reelection of
Gov. James o. Davidson to the ex-
ecutive office, and the installation
of J. H. Puelicher as chairman of
the Republican State Central Com
mittee.
There is nothing Of a complex
nature about this outline. 1t is
simple, direct, and easily under
stood. Such a combination as this
is in position to ignore all con-
siderations of factional as we'll
as party harmony, and can
kick men like Lieutenant Governor
Conner out of the sanctuary with
out in the least degree endangering
it's equilibrium. Two United States
Senators and a Governor laboring
in common cause in which they
themselves are to be the beneficiar-
les, backed, with rare exceptions,
by members of the Supreme Court,
State officers, the States delega-
tion in Congress, and members of
the State Legislature, supplemented
by the cohesive power of both Fed
eral and State public patronage,
surely ought to be able to carry out
any program which they may
choose to adopt.
What this political triumvirate
will try to do for Mr. Lenroot, if
is problematical. His
election to Congress will not be
ordered with Associate Justice r.
D. Marshall behind Congressman
Jenkins, and with the prominence
which has been accorded him in the
reform" camp he would doubtless
look with disdain upon any
thing short of a seat in Con-
gress or the executive chair at
Madison. The combination is now
SO strong, however, that it need not
lie awake nights to devise ways and
means for pacifying Conner, Hat
ton, Lenroot, or anybody else. The
band wagon" seems to be over
crowded already,

FIRE CHIEFS, MAYORS AND
TOWNSHIP CLERKS
Must, Under Penalty, Report
Fires to the Fire Marshal.
COMMON FIRE CAUSES.


The success of the fire marshal
depends largely upon immediate re-
port from fire chiefs of every fire in
which there are circumstances which
furnish ground for suspicion that it
was started Intentionally.
The fremen on breaking into
burning building may get an odor
of kerosene; or may see that the
fire started il two places; or may
find beds or stairs oil-soaked; or
may learn that the owner stood by
making no effort to save his furni-
ture; or that the insurance on the
house or it's contents was more than
its value; or if it be store burning
they may learn that the owner was
in financial straights. In some
cities the chief mails double post
card to the owner of burned build
ing in the return half of which there
are blanks for value, loss and insur-
ance. The facts a chief must put
in the fire marshall blank are only
those he keeps for his own official
record.
Burning to defraud is most COM
mon in cities; burning from malice
or for revenge in the country.
Few of those required to report
fires in cities and villages can draw
a fee for it, because fire chiefs and
mayors who have fixed salaries of
more than $50 year are not given
fees.

THE SUPERIOR TRAIN FIGHT

Owing to the unfavorable attitude
of the Grea- Northern Railway Com
pany the Wisconsin grain inspec-
ton law has proven of little effect
SO far as the part of Superior is con-
cerned. The 800 Line" will erect
a large elevator there and has prom
ised to give the Superior grain
men an equal chance with their Du-
luth competi-.ors-in other words,
stand by the Wisconsin grain in
spection law.
Millions Of dollars in improve
ments are involved in the fight now
being made by the 500" Road and
the Steel Trust for entrance and ter
minals i'll Superior, Wisconsin. The
proposed line of the new companies
is being bitterly opposed by the
Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern. w. A. McDonagle, one
of the directors of the Steel Trust,
said that the few miles that it will
build will cost over a million dollars,
while the plants that will be located
in Superior and Douglas county ad-
iacent to the new railroad will cost
millions more.

TOWNSHIP CLERKS.

The township clerk on hearing of
a fire in which the loss is said to be
more than SIS, or if the cause of the
fire is unknown, must notify the fire
marshal forthwith and must begin
an investigation of the circum-
stances within two days. The blank
furnished to all reporters must be
filled and forwarded within a week
A fee blank will be furnished which
is to be filled in at the end of the
year, when payment will be made.
The fee is $500, and 10 cents a mile
to and from the place of the fire.
Reports of suspicious circumstances
attending fire are kept absolutely
secret by the fire marshal, so one
does not make an enemy by giving
informa alton.
The penalty for failing to report
a fire is SIS to 5000.
