TO PREVENT :, FIRES

The anniversary of the great
Chicago fire (Oct. 9th) has been
designated fire prevention day"
by Gov. Norris ina proclamation
issued Friday which reads:
Annual losses by fire in the
United States have reached a
staggering total, conservative
estimators being of the opinion
that the losses from this cause
during the year 1911 will reach
$500, 600, 600. The question of
how best to prevent this appal-
ing waste of property and re-
sources is one that is :engrossing
the best thoughts of the day
among the fire insurance comp
anies, the fire prevention and
the fire fighting organizations
throughout the country.
The State of Montana has TAX
en- progressive step with regard
to this great problem by provid-
ing for the instruction Of children
in the schools relative to the
cause and prevention of fire.
But more may yet be done, and
to that end, l. Edwin L. Norris
as governor of the state of Mon
tana, do hereby designate and
set apart Monday, the 9th day of
October 1911, as fire prevention
day.
1t is recommended that on this
day the people of this state give
special thought to the question
of fire prevention, devoting a
portion of the day to work of
cleaning up their premises wher-
ever inf1ammable material may
be found and generally to per-
Torrance of any acts that may
tend to make the premises safer
and reduce the danger from fire
to the minimum.
