FIRE HAZARD
Fire Waste Causd by Care
less Handling of Refuse

At this season of the year, Nature
is about to put on her most beauti-
ful garb. The people generally
realize the necessity of putting
the premises in order. The figures
furnished BY FIRE statistics of 1911
emphatically iisdicate the necessity
of cleaning up. $50, 900 would
not make good the fire loss in Min
nesota in 1911 caused by care
lessness in connection with the an
nual cleanup.
This cleaning should extend from
cellar to garret, from house to out
buildings, alleys and yards. A
flying spark lodging, a lighted
match or a live cigar or cigarette
stub thrown carelessly into rubbish
in or outside of buildings has
caused many disastrous fires. The
chore boy may carelessly throw a
match or cigar or cigarette stub
into the rubbish surrounding barns
or in barns; the clerk may throw
either into the rubbish, of the base
ment of business, blocks where
paper, excelsior and other paking
materials are often allowed to ac-
cumulate; thoughtless passer-by
may throw a cigar or cigarette stub
through the grating in the sidewalk
into the dust and filth below.
Perhaps we cannot prevent the
people from carelessly throwing
matches or cigars, but we can
prevent the accumulation of COM
bustible and inflammable materials,
if we will.
In this cleaning up of premises,
the attic should not be forgotten.
In them dust and spider webs ac-
cumulate and all sorts of inflan-
mable stuff is stored away. Attics
are too often without ventilation.
Thus, when the fierce summer
sun beats down upon the roof, the
attic becomes a veritable furnace
and spontaneous combustion occurs
in the rubbish, dust, oily rags,
highly vanished pieces of fur
niture, etc.
Spring is the painting season
and caution as to the handling
and storing of rags used in wiping
vanished or oily surface or wiping
paint from the painters hands is
timely. The only safe place for
such greasy rags is in the stove.
If kept for any length of time to be
used again, they should be stored
in substantial, covered iron re-
ceptable.
Many fires are started each year
by the careless burning of the rub
bish accumulated in yards and
alleys during the winter. The
burning of this rubbish is too often
left to the children, which annually
not only costs a large number of
lives or serious injury, but result
in the total destruction of many
thousand dollars of property.
The people of Minnesota are
beginning to take an active interest
in the idea of prevention of fire
waste and there is no greater op-
portunity for them to do effective
wcfkzlong this line than in thor
'oughly cleaning their premises both
inside and out and the proper

result was that Mr.. Jury just

the beginning of the town and has
hosts of friends who congratulate
him on his victory.
Arthur Sheridan was an easy
victory for Assessor, defeating
both John Kukko and David Berg

last year and the voters evidently
believed him the proper man in the

victory. In the Third Ward
Stephen Banovetz and Paul Buc-
cowich were chosen over Arthur
Toms and G. L. Fitzwilliam. II
has been the custom in this ward
heretofore to elect one each of the
various nationalities predominatinp
and the same would have occurred
this year had not the factional dis
pute resulted in rival sets of can

1t is to be presumed however,
that the voice of the people rule
and that all elected are fit and pro-
per persons to be entrusted with
the guidance of a growing city. II
is now the duty of the citizens te
get behind the new officers and
boost and help them in all possible
manner to keep Ely in the front
rank of northern cities.
