SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION

During the last fiscal year 127 fires
We're reported to this department as
due to spontaneous combustion, or
more properly speaking, spontaneous
Ignition, causing damage of $780,
10000. No doubt, in addition to
these many other fires reported as
of unknown" origin, were in fact
caused by spontaneous ignition.
Spontaneous combustion is the ig-
milton of substance or body by in
ternal development of heat without
the action of any external flame.
1t often takes place in waste, rags,
cloths, cotton, sawdust and other
substances partially saturated with
oil. Vegetable and animal oils es-
pecially absorb oxygen very rapidly
and thus sufficient heat is produced
to set the oily substance on fire.
These fires occur at night as well
as in daytime. They often develop
in cellars, attics, storage closets,
warehouses, shops and other out-of-
the-way places, not under constant
observation, and spread rapidly fed
by the highly combustible materials.
Often such fires are not detected I'M
til they have had a good start, and
SO hard to control and cause much
damage.
New schools, churches, factories
and residences and others undergo
ing repairs or renovation are often
prey to the flames because some
painter or perhaps the good house
wife has left some oily rags Or mops
around.
Linseed oil is the worst of all oils
causing spontaneous ignition, and cot
ton seed oil comes next, perhaps.
The prevention of these fires is
quite simple and inexpensive. Care
and good housekeeping will make
them almost impossible.
Oily waste and rags and oily or
paint cloths in use during the day
should be kept in a standard, SELF
closing, metal waste can. At the
close of the day these should be
burned up or otherwise destroyed.
Oily metal filings, behring's and cut
tings, oily leather scraps, excelsior
| used for rubbing painted Or var
nished furniture or floors, cloths or
mops used for the same purpose, and
| oily or wet saWduSt should never be
permitted on wooden floors or
benches, but should be cleaned up,
removed and destroyed Oily over
| alls, jumpers or aprons should be
hung on a brick wall or stored in
metal closets. Inky cloths used to
| wipe rollers in printshops and litho-
graph establishments should be
burned after use.
Some sweeping compounds contain
oil, and the only safe storage is in
metal barrel or box Floor oils
and "dust preventatives" contain
the necessary materials for spon-
taneOus ignition, and cloths used in
applying them should be destroyed.
Many fires in barns are caused by
improperly cured and heated hay Or
grain. Aside from proper curing and
drying, perfect ventilation to carry
| away this heat is the best preventa-
tive Of such fires.
Cleanliness and care will prevent
most of these mysterious and dis
aStrOus fires.

FIGHTING STILL ON
 THE ADAMSON MEASURE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The big question before members of congress today is that of the question of the repeal of the Adamson eight hour law and the substitution of some measure that would make possible a working agreement. Borah in an in terview says that compulsory arbi- tration would be the best method to settle the labor difficulties but tho best legislative lawyers in the senate think it would be illegal. It is be- Heved possible to control the collec- tive action of the workers to destroy established rights. The collective bargaining by arbitration of all the relations of life is regarded as an other matter, one senator has said. The leaders of the Brotherhoods de- clare the Adamson law was passed in good faith to regulate hours and not wages and they vigorously oppose its repeal. It is still hoped that satis- factory compromise can be arranged.

ON THE HOLITNA

ANIAK:-Fritz Tittel, "the man who found pay on Candle" with a crew of men and two power drilling outfits, reached KuskOkwim river late in the summer from Seattle by way of the portage, considering trav- elirg by boat from Seattle little too hazardous. He brought two boats across the portage, one a seven-ton ooat, equipped with power His men are at work somewhere on the Holi- tna, where he is confident that they will find the paystreak that all the prospectors have for years believed to exist there.
 Among the prOspectors whose faith in the Holitna is very strong is Tom Taylor. Last winter was his third winter there, and was the best season he has seen for freezing down holes, which was the method he used for sinking to bedrock. The past winter was noted for having no soft spells Mir. Taylor found a very large body of gravel running from 11a to 3 cents to the pan for seven feet in depth, but practically nothing when he found bedrock, where he naturally expected to find good pay. Mir. TaylOr's faith is only strengthened, so he put side boards on his boat and is taking in an extra large outfit. For eight months last winter Mir. Taylor did not see a white man or hear ony news of the outside world.-EH

CRIT HOLMAN GOES
 INTO AVIATION WORK

Crit Holman of Seward will soon probably be an aviator, judgOng from the following in the Seattle Post-In- telligencer of December 6:
 Its a far cry from hunting for gold in Alaska to airplaning on a government practice ground, but that is what Crit C. Holman, of Seward Alaska, is likely to be doing next Mir. Holman came down from pros. pectng in Alaska on the last steam CT and is now on his way to take ad- vantage of the proposed United States navy airplane school, authoriz- ed by the recent naval appropriations bill. He is at the Planters hotel.
 The navy bill provides for the training of 100 men for active ser vice in the science of aeroplaning, and for two-year courses for forty men from civil life. Gov. J. F. A. Strong of Alaska, already has recommended Mir. Holman as Alaska's represents tive in the training school.
 Mir. Holman is a former student at the University of Washington. He was captain-elect of the varsity bask- etball team one year Later he ente,- ed the Colorado school of mines and played on the football team at that institution"

MANY DEPART FOR TOLSTOI AND PLANS ARE FORMED
 FOR MUCH PROSPECTING

Iditarod Pioneer, Nov. IS: - The heavy fall of snow in the early part Of the present week, with it's promise of splendid trails when it becomes packed, has started the expected movement toward the TolstOi district, and as the mining season comes to a close in the Iditarod district with the closing down of the dredges, it may be expected that the travel to and from the new district will be lively.
 Nearly all of the prospectors who went to the Tolstoi district last spring were men of limited means, who took in small outfits and after stalking claims and doing location anu assessment work returned to Iditarod to spend the summer in another grub stake. Most of these will return, and during the coming winter it is more than likely that it will be demon strated whether or not a populous and thriving community will be built up. or whether it will be one of the numerous camps which furnish luc- crative employment to a limited rumber of men each season.

CONTEST LIKELY ON
 DELEGATE ELECTION

Whether Sulzer wins or whether Wickersham is victorious in the pre- ent election, which will be uncertain until all precincts are reported, it is certain that legal battle will ensue Sulzer packers are reported to be pre- pairing to protest many of the pre- cincts and it is said also that the Wickersham campaign managers arc preparing to make a fight At pre- ent the indications ar that the house of representatives will be called upon to pass upon the election returns.
 According to information received by the News-Miner the Wickersham managers are investigating the pre- cincts in which soldiers voted and may try to have many of them thrown out, particularly Panama and St. Mi chael. In case Sulzer is found to have that Wickersham may go so far as to that Wickersham mak go so far as to attempt to have the whole election held invalid.
 In regard to the soldiers vote, it k reported that should Wickersham at tempt to have St. Michael and Tan ana thrown out, the Democrats would ask to have the Fairbanks vote thrown out, as soldiers voted here also.
 In political circles, it is rumored also that the people of the Second di- vision did not register as they did in other divisions, and for that reason a" attempt may be made to have the whole division thrown out.
 This, in all lklihood, would involve the validity of the election law passed by the last legislature. A number of attorneys questioned as to the ac' have expressed opinions that part or all of the act is invalid.
 In the Third division politicians on both sides are preparing for protest TO matter which way the election goes, so that there is no likelihood the delegate election will be settled definitely until congress passes on it. Fairbanks News-Miner.

 OF WASTING TIMBER

In the Juneau Dispatch of Decem- Der , appears a long cable from Washington, D.

The charge is made to Secretary Lane and it and the proposed remedies occupy several columns of the Dispatch. The tele- gram from Washington telling of the charges is evidently sent by the As sOciated Press.

The net result of several resolutions proposed in the Italian cham ber of deputies since the German peace proposals were made public is to show disposition the part of the leg iaor to accept only favorable terms of peace for Italy It is reported generally in this country that the OenCra powers are asking the United States and the vatican to support the proposals The position of the pope m the matter is regarded as delicate and dangerous as he could not act in the direction of peace unless first assured that the Italian people were favorable to it.
