ASTOUNDING FIGURES ON TIRE LOSSES IF PHOENIX;
 SHOW NEED OF PREVENTION

The annual fire loss n Arizona. property valuation considered, is larg- CT than in any other state in the United States, according to the annual reports published by the leading fire in surance companies of the country. This in face of the fact that the annual fire loss in America Is larger than in any other country in the world
 According to figures compiled by the Arizona fire insurance company. the greatest fire losses in Arizona are in- cured in Phoenix. In fact. the loss ra- tio in Phoenix is about 15 per cent larger than in the state as whole. By this comparison. it can be seen that the annual fire loss in Phoenix is the larg- est of any city in the world. property values taken into consideration.
 During 1914. the fire insurance prem ium income in Arizona was SS60.000. In .other words. property owners paid this amount to protect their premises from loss by flames. The loss ratio for the state was 50 per cent, or in round fig ures $5l6.000.
 In this period. the fire insurance premium income in Phoenix was Sl00, Q o0O. Losses of approximately S1S5, 900 were sustained in the city during the month period In other words the fire insurance companies returned to owners l35 per cent of all premiums received in the city
 The cost of conducting fire insurance business in Arizona is approximately = per cent. By this ratio. 1t therefore costs fire insurance companies l02 per cent of the total premium to operate in the state as a whole. and IT to .oper ate in Phoenix.
 In round figures. the companies do- ing husiness in Arizona realize SS60 000 from premiums and pay out $SI72Q0 in fire losses and cost Of operating. In Phoenix. Sl00000 is realized in prem iums and Sl77,000 in losses and operat- ing expenses
 The tremendous losses in thgenlN, t is stated. is not the result of the mum crous fires, but. most generally, due to one big conflagration each year This year it was the Comercial hotel and In 1915 tho Alfalfa Mills were destroyed
 Many of the reasons for this gre7t

REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER so

annual fire loss are beyond the control
 and power of humans. it is stated. but lthere are many defects that can and should be remedied.
 l In California during the year 1914, fire insurance companies realized $16.-
 coo from premium income. The loss
 ratio for the state was 40 per cent. With volume of business l9 times as large as that in Arizona, the fire loss ratio in California was only wo-thirds as large.
 The Arizona Fire Insurance com pany, which k in a position to better choose its risk than a foreign company had a loss ratio from 1910 to 1915. in elusive. of 40S per cent At the time this report was made late in the year, it's loss ratio was close to 50 per cent ! in Phoenix alone. This IS exclusive of operating expenses.
 In the western states, the premium rate has been greatly reduced in the past 20 years The average rate in Cal ifornia for 1915 was 20 per cent lower than that in Arizona. With the eX- lception of the San Francisco conflag- ration, there is not state in the union which shows % high a loss rate per hundred of risks written during the past 35 years as that of Arizona it Is stated in the report.
 The fact that the Phoenix losses per one hundred risks are greater than the
 ratio of loss per one hundred in The state. and that the state losses are higher than any other state in q coun-
 try where the extent of fire losses is q national disgrace. should be suffi- cient to arouse people of Phoenix to
 energetic efforts to better these condi-
 tions.' said Vernon Cook, chairman of the fire prevention committee of the Chamber of Commerce last night.
 Why the above figures alone should give a fire prevention organization in the state sufficient impetus alone to insure it's success. The figures are
 self indicative that it's about time that
 something was being done to prevent
 these enormous fire losses and the
 best method Of accomplishing any
 great results Is by means of q state
 wide fire prevention organization. it is also self-evident that the state is sadly
 in need Of a fire marshal"

LOSSES IN CRACKED EGGS.

Would you believe the losses sus.
tanned from the packing of slightly
cracked eggs amounts to an average
of about 1914 per carload?
About so per cent of the egg crop
of the whole year is produced dur
ing the months of March, April, May
and June. 1t is during March, April
and May also that the eggs are Of
the best quality and most desirable
for cold storage. Nearly Sc per cent
of all the eggs so stored go into
storage during March, April and May.
1t is especially necessary, there
fore, the departments egg-handling
specialists say, to see that the early
spring pack is well put up in new
standard cases with new strong fill
lers and flats and that cracked eggs,
even the very "lightest checks" be
rigidly excluded.

--~~-~~~~
Pacific Fruit Distributors was held in
Spokane On March 9Th, attended by
Trustees and General Managers from
all of the several Northwest Dis
tricts.
Those in attendance from Southern
Idaho were j. H. Lowell OF Parma,
Trustee, and M. ]. Higley, General
Manager of the Idaho Oregon Fruit
Growers Association.
]. H. Lowell Of Parma was elected
President, and D. L. Ingard Of Fruit
land, was elected member Of the
Executive Committee.
1t was definitely agreed to move
the General Sales office to Chicago
where Mr.. B. A. Perham will have
full charge as General Sales Mana
ger. Mr. Perham will have supervis-
ion over all of the Eastern territory
including the salaried offices at
Minneapolis, Omaha and Fort Worth,

as far west and including North and
South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado,
Oklahoma, and Texas, and al the
territory West of these boundaries
will be handled directly from the
various Sub Central offices through
the same resident brokers in each
of the largest cities.
This change in the General Sales
office is looked upon as decided
step in advance and will put the Gen
eral Sales Manager in the center CT
distribution, and in closer touch with
the trade.
Mr.. Perham will start in few
days on his Eastern trip to visit
all of the principal markets and es-
tablish his trade connections for the

ised for this coming season, strenu-
Gus efforts will be made to place a
large portion of our produce abroad

conditions will hamper the export
business very seriously and it Is
expected that we will not be able to
export any considerable amount Of
red varieties; it is anticipated that

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
BY Fred johnson.

In the last basketball game Of the
season the P. H. s. girls demonstrat-
ed the right to call themselves the
champions Of the State by defeating
the College of Idaho girls by score
of II to AZ. The Payette girls had
the advantage from the first and in
no time were they in any danger. In
the first half Miss Lola Stark had
the misfortune to have her thumb
thrown out of place. In the last
half Miss Vanderkoffer of Caldwell
ran against the wall, slightly injur-
ing her, and as the College girls had
no subs. the balance of the game
was played with five members on a
side. The P. H. S. girls have made
an extra good showing this year, de-
feating every team they have played
against. During the entire season the
girls made total OF 2O9 points to
their opponents 81.
Today Thursday Mr.. Farmer,
Government Supervisor of Agricultur-
al Work, and Mr.. o. D. Center, Di-
rector of the State Extension De-
partment, will speak In the High
School assembly room. This will af-
ford splendid opportunity to &C.
quire valuable information concern
ing some of the countries now fore
most in agricultural pursuits.
Some day this week or the first
of next week the boys OF the High
School will clean up the athletic
field. Look up your shovels, hoes and
come out
Track work now becomes the lead I
ing sport of large number of the s
students. Although this is the Sec
nd year that the P. H. S. has en- Il
deavored to place track team in S
the field, prospects point to some S
success in several of the leading $
events. Arrangements are now be- Il
ng made for meets with Caldwell, q
Ontario and Weiser and if the boys r
come up to expectations Payette
High will be represented in the
Idaho elimination meet !.
md also the State High School track :
meet.

Prospects appear to be
more favorable for a winning team
