ing construction for the entire country is conservatively estimated at $1,00O.. 100000. Thus it will be seen that nearly one-half of the value of all the new buildings constructed in one year is destroyed by fire. The annual fire cost is greater than the value of the real property and improvements in either Maine, West Virginia, North Carolina. North Dakota, South Dakota, Alabama, Louisiana or Montana. In addition to this waste of wealth and natural re- sources, l,449 persons were killed and 5,652 were injured in fires in the United States in 1907.
 The geological surveys inquiry which is embodied in a report entitled "The Fire Tax and Waste of Structural Ma terials in the United States, prepared by H. M. Wilson and J. L. Coehrane of the survey, covered not only the value of property destroyed but also the cost of maintaining fire departments, the amount of insurance premiums paid. less the amount returned. the cost of protective agencies, the additional cost of water supplies, and other eIe- ments of the fire loss. The report gives the method of gathering the statistics collected, makes an analysis of the fire loss in city and country and on frame and brick buildings and contains tables showing the increased cost of fire pro- lection due to faulty construction.
 The actual fire loss in the United States due to the destruction of build 'nos and their contents amounted to $3l5,0S4,709 in 1907. This was S2. 15 less per capita. The per capita loss in the cities of the six leading European countries amounted to but B cents. Comparisons of the total cost of fires. which includes the items already stat. ed, show that if the buildings in the United States were as nearly fireproof as those in Europe the nnual fire cost would be $90,OO0,O00 instead of $456,- 100000.

FIRE LOSS OF AMERICA
 THRICE THAT OF EUROPE
United States Geological Survey Issues Report In vestigation Which Reveals Astounding State
 of Affairs-New Methods Suggested

WASHINGTON, D. C., February D. Fire, stolen from heaven by Promethe. us, according to Ancient Greek mythOl- ogy, and as blessing brought by him to earth in hollow reed after Zeus had deprived mankind of it, levies upon Americans each year an enormous tax calculated by United States govern ment officials at almost a million and a half dollars Q day, and ,449 lives 8 year.
 As a result of an investigation just concluded by officials of the United States geological survey it has been as certained that cheaper freproof ma terials can be used to advantage in construction, that three to six times the necessary amount of material is habitually used in structural work in the United States, that the building codes are laXly enforced, that the fire loss in the United States is eight times as much per capita as in any country in Europe and that the great fire waste in the United States is due principally to the predominance of frame buildings and to defective construction and equip ment.
 Contrast between the small losses by fire to government buildings and the immense losses reported from the eoun- try as whole led the geological sur vey to make an inquiry as to fire losses in the United States and as to their exact cost to the people. Tests to de- termine the strength and fire resistance of building materials are still being made by the survey, and although these tests are designed primarily to meet the needs of the government as the largest consumer, their results are avail. able to anyone for general use.
 Not one3person in 8 thousand knows that the United States government owns buildings that cost more than $30O, 100000 and is spending $20,000,o0O a year for new buildings. It will be a surprise to everyone, too, to learn that not one cent of insurance against loss
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1910-02-10

by fire is carried on these valuable buildings. Insurance at the ordinary rate would cost more than half a mil
 lion dollars year, and the government avoids this great tax by constructing buildings that are securely freproof.
 To attain this degree of security from fire for government buildings the government has gone to considerable ex. pense and the results obtained fully repay the outlay From these tests to determine the strength and fire resist ance of building materials it has been edtermined that American builders can with safety use cheaper ireproof mater ials than they do. 1t has been learned that the difference in cost between freproof and infammable buildings is less than generally supposed and the officials predict that this difference will soon become so small that it will cease to encourage the construction of fimsy buildings. It has been found that three to six times the necessary amount of material is habitually used by American builders in structural work. The necessity also is shown for better building codes in cities and especially of better enforcement of the codes all ready enacted if the present enormous fire losses are to be diminished.
 After a careful investigation it has been determined that the total cost of fires in the United States in 1907, ex- cluding that of forest fires and the ma rine losses Gin themselves extensive) but including excess cost of fire pro tection due to bad construction and ex- cess premiums over insurance paid, amounted to the enormous sum of over $456, ,4S5,000, tax on the American people exceeding the total value of all the gold, silver copper and petroleum produced in the United States in that year, the cost of building construction in 1907 in forty-nine leading cities of the United States reporting total pop ulation of less than 1S,000,000, amount. ed to $361 ,O76, 6,2s6, and the cost of build

Desperate Effort to Have Case Non suited Meets
 With Failure

PORTLAND, February 9.-As ar ranged by agreement between Judge Wolverton of the United States court and counsel today, the ease of former Congressman Binger Hermann, tried for conspiracy to defraud the govern ment of public lands, will go to the jury Friday.
 Arguments will be begun tomorrow.
 Much of today was spent by Worth ington, counsel for Hermann, in an eff fort to have the case non-suited ou points of law.
 Worthington battle three hours in support of his contentious:
 First-If there had been conspiracy ro defraud, it was the state of Oregon that had been defrauded, not the govern. ment.
 Second-The prosecution of Hermann was barred by the statute of limitations
 Third-tIf the prosecution is not barred, then the court should strike out all evidence as to overt acts prior t4 three years before the indictment against Hermann was returned.
 FOurth-The district court of Oregon was without jurisdiction, as the conspi. racy, so far as Hermann was concerned. formed in Washington, D. c.

Goodrich Roasts Secretary of Navy Before House
 Committee

WASHINGTON, D. C., February g. Rear Admiral Caspar Goodrich, retired, was witness before the house naval committee today. While he did not directly attack the Meyer plan, he said he did not believe Secretary Meyer had given the Newberry plan sufficient trial before replacing it with another. He said the Newberry plan would have saved the navy department more than a million dollars annually.
 A member of the committee com mented today on the proposed disciplin- ing of Rear Admirals Rogers and Capps.
 "They will not be discharged as long as congress is in session." he said. Secretary Meyer will find out he can not chop off a subordinate s head when- ever he pleases. Does he suppose the government, which trains a naval of ficer from boyhood at the expense of thousands of dollars, cannot, through one of its legislative bodies, ask that officer such questions as it wishes2 It is ridiculous to think otherwise"

T. L. Kinney Of South Hero, who has
earned the title Of grower Of Vermont
apples by studlous application Of his
brain to the problem Of apple produce
ton in THU state, has the following 20
say on the subject Of this years crop to
representative Of The Montpelier
Journal:
"The outlook for apples In Grand Isle
county Is very uneven crop. Some
orchards are well loaded, others not 70
well and Others barren. The Snow and
Baldwin apples are most in evidence,
the Spy holding next place. The bear
ing orchards that have been doing well
in the past are just recovering from the
two lasts easons Of severe drought. Young
newly set orchards are doing their level
best with healthy substantial wood
growth and foliage that is bright and
fresh as the morning dew. Insects and
fungus growths are not troubling them
mi season.
"The young up-to.date apple orchards
in this section are tempting sight
but farmers are not easily tempted as
they are in the northwest. The plum
crop is a good one and many yuung trees
Of three years set, have their limbs
bending 70 the ground with tempting
loads Of fruit. Strawberries and rasp-
berries were a good crop though bur
few a. yet are grown for market
Mr.. Kinney Is Of the opinion that in
the near future che berry crop on the
islands III his vicinity win be an in.
teresting subject.
