DREAD OF FIRE.

There was time, several thousand
years ago, when the heart of man and
beast held one overpowering dread
the fear of fire. The human race
took it's first decisive step when it ov-
ercame this fear and began to use
fire. 1t was the significant victory
that set mankind apart from the other
animals forever.
Fire is a cunning slave forever
seeking an opportunity to escape its
bounds. The history of the world is
marked with escapes of this nature
that became conflagrations. A small
blaze in a bakers shop in the great
fire of 1866 in London cost untold
millions of dollars. 1t has been said
that no famous building in London,
indeed of all of England, is as it was
originally built The tax by fire has
been levied everywhere.
The staggering fact that must con-
front everyone who thinks of the sub
ject of fire is that the money, labor
and time represented in the places
burned is money. labor, and time ut
terly thrown away, utterly and ire
vocably lost. The annual loss by fire
in the United States is over $3.50, 000,-
900 annually. This means that some
thing is taken from the earnings of
every man to pay the tax, and as long
as we go on having preventable fires
the same tax will be continued to be
levied on us. The bitter part of this
is that nothing is ever returned for
this tax. Money raised by ordinary
taxation is put into circulation and
spent for value received. With the
fire tax, the money is applied to make
good value lost. Nature is immut-
able; she uses the products of a fire.
the actual matter (speaking scientific
cally) still exists, but not for use. Bear
this in mind, Mr.. Taxpayer and Prop,
erty Owner. most Of the loss is. pre-
ventable. DO not COnfOund fire"
with "EOss"; the loss is preVentable
The wasted tax can be lightened. The
simplicity of the remedy is its weak
ness; the causes of its not being APP
piled and watchfulneSS will cure it.
That watchfulneSs and preparedness
will prevent - per cent Of the fire
loss as has been proven in Europe.
The responsibility lies with the indi-
Vidual. not with the fire department.
The DcniO Fire Alarm Co. will eX-
plain the way if You will but give
them tn" Observation-Disclosures.

 How II was possible for the man tO meet his death in such a place Is a mystery to those who ar" acquainted with the condi- lions surrounding the disappear ance of McCarty. It is assumed that his known craving for strong drink so completely mastered him, after leaving Twelve-mile, on October 28, that he became de- ranged, divested himself of the last shrtd of clothing and sought solace ill the cold waters of Birch creek. This, tO those who knew him best, is the most plausible explanation of his demise.

CAPTAIN McMULLEN,
 OF TIE S. s. DORA

II DrlnS fllItrH or charged hy | some prrSnns absolutely ignn- 1 rant of tn" conditions under which the master of ship iS re- uIIirrd to operate. that ruwarIirr l, alone prompted Captain McMul- l len [" pass up Kodiak, and con tinuc with his crew and pasSrl, gers toward Srl,lOvia, a place of safety. lllr writer offers this ar ticlr tn explain Captain McMul- lens action.
 The master of a passenger vessel. in my opinion. is not re- quirrd tn continue, or even justi- fitrd in continuing, with his ship, crew and passengers in a position subject tO as great or even great or danger than are those who think it his duty lo come to their rescue.
 He is sailing his ship primar- | fly for the benefit and honor of his owners, and his first duty is | protection of the passengers un- der his immediate command. Ko- diak and the Dora being in the same vicinity were subject tO a common danger from above; if anything, the Dora being in the greater danger, for it iS difficult L" imagine anything more terri ble than a fire at sea. Had any change taken place in that vicin- ltE from beneath, those on the Dora were subject to a great danger. which they could not see and therefore were pOwerlrsS in avoid.
 | Frtween the Dora and Kodiak NA+ a portion of water consider ed hy navigatOrs the most dan kcr"us in thick or rough wealth Fer, of any in Alaska. II consists rf HarrOw channel in wide waterway sLrewn with sunken rocks, on which, generally, a lI"a:y swell rolls from seaward: iC seems fnolish to expect that the DcSa. approaching from sea ward with an uncertain depar- lure, should be able to locate this channel Hnd safely navigate it 10 Kodiak wharf just because an- btiitr vessel leaving Kodiak Whnrt. suc Geeded in reach;As fbe open sea.
 E": ih" CT fit of those not In's"ssing a nautical under standing, recommend them to make the following experiment: Blindfold yourself and run down a narrow lane into an open field. The chances are that you will reach inc open field without striking the fence on either side. Then take up position in the open field, say 20 yards from the mouth of the lane, and realize that you may be some 10 feet from the point from which you are supposed to start, then sec how you feel about running in- to that lane, allowing that you are started in the right direction with nothing in inc way.
 The officers of the revenue cutter Manning are given great credit for the part they took in rendering assistance to the peo- pie of Kodiak, and they are en- titled to the same, hut you should stop to consider that it. was the first duty of that vessel to render such assistance.
 The captain of the Manning, in my opinion, was morally bound to risk at least his ship and even her crew in attempting to res cue tho citizens of Kodiak then in danger. fTc did his duty and deserves great credit.
 Captain MCMullcn, being under entirely different obligations, dc- serves tho credit which every ship master is entitled Io, who succussfuly meet and defeat ev- cry condition which arises in the course of his voyage tending to destroy his ship and her people.
