The fire loss of 1910 amounted t.

from this source in many years. The
department responded to 13S alarms
which is considerably above the aver
age number of calls. Chief Ed Miller
Of the department. has not been able
to attribute the small fire loss tc
any particular fact. The work of the
fremen has been most effective, the
companies have been able to get tc
the blaZes quickly. and the apparatus
with which the men worked has been
efficient.
Over one-third of the total years
loss was from the Ballinger Printing
company fire, which occurred in April
Fire started in the stock room of this
company. which is located on South
Seventh street, early in the evening
ard before the fire was placed under
control the stock of the firm, includine
several valuable jobs of printing just

extent of $1,000, while the building
was damaged to the extent of 5000

saved a large part of the building and

additions of one hose house, several
men and equipment during the past
year.

Artist Fisher and His Beautiful Model


Harrison Fisher the New York art
list known the world over. and his pic
ture of Miss Laurine Rasmussen, his
latest creation. Mr.. Fisher recently
left San Francisco on his return
home. His aim in going to that city
was 10 search for new type of beau
ty for his portrayal. Miss Rasmussen.
who is a San Francisco girl. has been
picked by the artist as the typical
American beauty of the Golden West.
Mr.. Fisher left San Francisco with
Miss Rasmussen's promise to go to
New York early in the new year and
pose for the pictures of the new
Fisher girl"
Miss Rasmussen is thetdaughter of
MIR. and Mrs. Charles Rasmussen and
is an artist of more than local note.
II was perhaps this latter fact that
aroused her sympathy with Mr.. Fish
or in his hunt for heroine for his
paintings. She is five feet, eight
inches tall and twenty-five years of
age.

WOOL GROWERS
ANNUAL MEETING
(Americau News Service)

Portland, Ore, Jan. 3.-PortIand is
entertaining this week what is believ.
ed to be the largest gathering of wool
growers in the history of the indus
try in America. The occasion is the
annual convention of the Oregon
Wool Growers association, which met
today, and the annual meeting of the
National Wool Growers association,
which will hold its opening session to-
morrow morning. The joint gather
ing has attracted thousands of promi-
nent wool growers from Idaho, Wyom-
ing, Ohio. New Mexico, Oregon. Wash
ington, Montana and other states.
The meeting of the national associa-
ton is not only the largest ever held
by that organization, but it also bids
fair to be the most important. The
tariff. forest reserves. quarantine and
speed limit laws. predatory animals
wool sales. appointment of advisory
boards and other subjects important
and vital to the industry will be dis
cussed. The most prominent expert
men in America on these subjects
have places on the program.

WISHBONES
On Their Shape Depends the Force Of
Birds Wing Strokes.

~" sUe'T 01aPO CcPcNoS INC TCFCS OF
Birds Wing Strokes.
Scientists call the "wishbone' the
furcula, and it is the union of what
are in man two collar bones. These
receive the brunt of the strokes of the
wing that turn the creature in its
flight.
Few Of us appreciate the strength
OF the stroke of the birds wing. A
swan has been known to break q
mans leg by blow of its wing, and
In like manner the wing beatings of
the larger birds are dangerous if they
strike the human head or face. If,
therefore. a large bird is In the habi
Of making sudden turns to right or
left in its flight it must be fitted with
a "wishbone" capable Of withstanding
the great strain of the wing stroke on
the one side when unaccompanied by
action on the other
For this reason we find in the eagle
and birds of its class that turn quickly
a furcula that is perfect Roman
arch, widely at variance with the
Gothic arch. which is the shape Of the
"wishbone" of our common fowls. The
eagles furcula is everywhere equally
strong and lacks those points of weak
ness that make our sport of breaking
the "wishbone" possible. - Harper's
