SOME FIGURES ON FIRES
Geological Survey Has Computed the
Individual Cost Of Protection in
the United States.

Washington, Dec. 3o.-It costs each per-
son fin the United States only S1.65 a year
to 60 to bed with a sense of security born
of the knowledge that If his house starts
to burn an army OF HTemeu viii arrive
TO put out the fire. The census bureau
announces the figure as the result of an
investigation of tine fire departments and
fire losses Of the los largest cities ia the
country.
In Berlin it costs only 25 cents a year
to sleep easy in London, ~ cents, and la
Milan. 10 cents. The United States geo
logical survey has made some COmputa-
lions to show that this difference Is be-
cause the building restrictions I'm Eu-
rope are greater than in this country,
that there are more fireprOOf buildings
and that the cost OF maintaining the fire
departments is not SO great Tt is not
because American fire departments are
extensively administered.
When il comes to conserving the cOuu-
try's resources. or better yet, its assets,
the toll of a fire tells a fearful lesson.
During 1907 the 15S largest American
cities lost more than S4S,0JO00 in their
fires, covered by insurance amounting to
S42.O03O00.
1t costs these cities about S3SOo0O)0 a
year TO maintain their paid fire depart
ments. From this the statistical experts
calculate that it costs each person pro-
tected thereby Sl.65 yearly.

contractor of prominence, who had
built other irrigation dams and who
had graded the right of way through
Spanish Fork canyon for a branch line
OF the Denver & Rio Grande.
This contract called for an eXpendi-
ture of S65,0OO but the estimates Of
the state engineer did not include the
construction of a diversion dam and
a great amount of fluming. There
were other extras, including, as nearly
ali big projects do, additional eXca-

Brinton had considerable trouble
with the contract He couldn't get

had made a mistake in figuring the

former trying out a new motor and the
latter practiCing with a passenger, with
a view to making an attempt for the ten

Farman, however, IS in readiness to de-

Balance due ...........S


At the time the state land board
settled upon the Hatchtown project
the Ptute project, now being built by
the state, was in private hands. Later
these private parties relinquished their
right to the site and asked the state
to take up the work. The state in
vestigated the matter, made estimates
OF cost and, finally purchased the
site for $4,000, including primary
water rights. The Piute site is in
Piute county, ten miles south of
MaTysVale, on the Sewer river The
state then selected 5000 acres in San
pete and Sewer counties which would
dam. In addition to this 10000 acres
in private ownership would take water
from the new project, according to the
promises of their owners.
Going ahead with the Piute project,
the state let the contract for the pud-
dle-core to the Western Construction
company for $4,000. The dam has
not yet been contracted for, as bids
haven't been advertised, The new
reservoir will hold 65 900 acre feet Of
water to irrigate 10000 acres of land.
Each acre should be worth $50. 1t will
mean homes for 200 families when
completed.
The state also has built forty miles
of canal and enlarged twenty miles Of

water from the dam, at a cost Of
