FIGHT BEGUN
STATE INSURANCE COMMITS
SIONER LISTS METHODS.
Law Providing for Organization of
Associations in ALI Communities
in Oregon Is Sought.

In an effort to curtail fire losses
Harvey Wells, State Insurance Com
missioner, has issued a bulletin CIV
ing the various origins of fires and
means of prevention. Mr.. Wells urg-
es that the way to obtain cheap in
surance is to stop the enormous fire
losses. Now the non-burning, careful
business man, he says, pays for the
careless, Indifferent, reckless builder
and occupant. He declares:
"The fire loss in Oregon, most of
which may be termed fire waste is
greater in proportion to the popula-
ton than in most states. In 1914 the
value of property destroyed is esti-
mated at more than $4,000,000 and
the insurance companies paid $780,
900 of that amount. :"
The commissioner insists that the
state should enact fire marshal law,
and that there should be fire-preven-
tion associations in all communities.
The duties of these organizations, he
says, should be to create sentiment
for solid buildings, clean premises,
fire prevention laws, and ordinances
governing fues, electric wiring, etc.
'We have our efficient fire depart
ments in the cities to attack fires, :"
continues the bulletin. "Now, after
we have built and organized these
departments to their maximum
strength and efficiency, what is our
next step in combating the immense
fire waste? Why should we not have
a department known as Fire Pre-
venters?'"
Mr.. Wells estimates that $2,0O0,000
of property is destroyed and 500 lives
lost yearly through the careless use
of matches. Rubbish and ashes are
given as other causes of fires. Careful
use of matches, kerosene, the clean
ing of cellars, closets and attics are
urged as means of fire prevention.
The bulletin is filed with useful in
formation regarding the preventing
and extinguishing of fires, and Mr..
Wells will give it as wide distribu-
ton as possible.

INSPECTOR APPROVES SYSTEM
Collector of Internal Revenue Mil
ler's Deputy Visits Dallas.

Chas. F. Miller, inspector under the
new narcotic law, and a brother of
Milton A. Miller, collector of inter-
nal revenues, was in Dallas on Satur-
day in the discharge Of his official
duties. He complimented the Fuller
Pharmacy very highly for the manner
in which its record of sales is kept,
saying that it excells anything of the
kind he had seen. "Doc." Patterson
simply records the date Of sale, and
the number of the prescription, which
latter is kept on file and conveniently
at hand at all times. The narcotic
used in compounding the prescription,
together with the physician issuing
the order and the person to whom is
sued, may here be readily ascertained,
making the record complete in every
particular. An equally simple meth
cd is employed in recording purchases
of drugs coming under the law, and
also those used in manufacturing.

tanned Mr. Simpson says breeding
yards with removable partitions, for
the pinioned birds, are, perhaps, the
best to use. These yards are "a feet
square, have no covering and accom-
modate six hens and one cock during
the laying season, Immediately after
which the birds are turned out into
a large, open field adjoining. At this
season the focks will not fight, and
but little time is consumed each day
for several hundred birds. The parti-
tions are then set aside and the entire
strip cultivated and sown with grass
seed, and the work may be done with
a pillow, whereas, if the partitions
were stationary, it would take consid-
cradle time to spade and cultivate
each yard. In March these partitions
should be put back and the birds mat
ed again for the laying season.
AS the China pheasant hen is no
mother to trust with the raising of a
family chickens are used for brood
ing. The best hen for the purpose
has been found to be the Cochin ban
tam.
