THEY SHUT OFF HIS STEAM.
Rev. William Gray brought steam
roller from Chicago to the Congress,
but lost his steam and took roller
for Chicago before adjournment. Rev.
Gray promised to give Chicago to the
next Congress, but they doubted his
power to deliver the goods, and the
fault was all his own. His persis-
tent proclivities and rough procedure,
caused his unpopularity and the Star
prophet predicted his fate on the
opening day, "and it came to pass"

Fire Prevention.

Owing to the lack of available
room, it was impossible that every
one interested in fire prevention
could hear the talks given by the
visiting insurance men last night
Consequently the Pioneer feels that
it is not wasting it's space when it
published the addresses of Messrs.
King and Colburn. These two were
the only ones written, but a synopsis
of the others can be found in the
regular news columns
Too much cannot be said upon
this subject. After hearing the facts
and figures presented last night, the
enormous waste and consequent
absolute loss Of life and property
impresses one in way which it had
not before. The real rub comes be-
cause such a large percentage is
preventable:
Several local conditions came in
for a hard scoring by the speakers
and local men were urged to see that
the city was cleaned up at once.
They were assured that Bemidji
would not be a second to st. Cloud,
Red Wing, Fergus Falls. and other
cities which have entertained the as
ISOLATION. Bemidji has tried to
clean up this last week, but many
did not know exactly what to do.
They have been told and have given
their word to take action at once.
One Of the speakers pointed out
that while Bemidji's loss last year
was but AZ per cent Of the premiums
collected, the proportion. was higher
than the average of the other years
This would seem to indicate that the
city is becoming more careless OF
that fire is being used as the method
to remove some of our old buildings,

thousands are spent to put out a

fire that has once started, little is
spent to prevent the first spark
On the whole, Bemidji has reason
to be proud of it's record but the in
spectors uncovered some conditions
that must be remedied before the
loss can be materially cut. The con-
vention has been eye opener for
this city and the insurance men de-
