Chickasha Advanced From Place 4 IL
TO Place A in Fire Bureau railing
for New Year
HOPES TO MOTORIZE
FIRE DEPARTMENT
With Saving Of $4,000 Year by Addi-
lion Of Fire Engine Immense Saw
ing Gould Be Made

That the saving afforded by the new
fire insurance rating for Chickasha
viii pay for the $4,000 motor fire truck
in a single year is the estimate made
by Councilman II. 0. Hayes, chairman
Of the fire and water committee, who
is also in the fire insurance and real
estate business.
Councilman Hayes is in receipt of
the new key rate which determines the
fire insurance rates to prevail In the
business section Of every city in the
state Of Oklahoma. This is gotten out
yearly by the Underwriters Bureau.
In the new book Chickasha is ad-
vanced from her former place, AZ to
4. The rates range from one to six
with intermediate half numbers. It
lis equivalent, therefore, to being
moved up from ninth to eighth place
with the first place enjoying the low
est fire premium rates.
aWhile this rate only affects the
business districts" said Mr.. Hayes to-
day, "for residence sections we have
the lowest minimum rate for the state
Of Oklahoma, sixty cents per hundred
on frame buildings.
"What the advanced rating means to
property holders may be judged from
the FOLLOWING estimates: Take for in
stance the Kozy theater. The pre-
MUM rate on this building for years
has been $5.45 on the 500 valuation.
Under the new rating 1t is only $500.
The average saving is over dollar on
a hundred. Let us say that the block
in which the Kozy is situated is in
sured for 100000, which is far below
the actual figure The saving to these
owners alone in year would be over
$1,000.
"Tm sure that the addition of the
$4,000 fire engine will save its cost in
premiums every year and ! hope the
day is not far off when the entire fire
department, at both engine houses, viii
be motorized. This could be done at
a cost Of about $25O0 and the saving
on the maintenance Of horses would be
great and immediate The $4,000 mo-
tor truck was added without bonding
the city and. in fact, up to date at
least, withoug making any tax levy.
It will probably be paid without an ad-
ditional levy and the city Will be at
least $500 year ahead"
Councilman Hayes made hard and
long fight for the new motor ruck, de-
cIaring that its purchase would be a
great saving to the citizens and the
new rate book substantiates all that he
has declared about it in the council
rooms during the past two years.

 We have covered these develop ments in sufficient detail to demon strate that neither the Grand Trunk Pacific and its terminals at Prince Rupert or the government dock or its storage plant at that point were pro vided for the benefit of the American fishing interests, and up to this time American fishing boats, other than those of the special interests" men, toned. were not permitted the priv ileEes of Canadian ports. but were har. rassed by Canadian authorities on all occasions.

REPORT ON CENTRAL ALASKA.
cesta.Nowitna Region Explored by
 United States Geological Survey.

In central Alaska south of the Yu- kon River there is a large area which prior to 1915 was practically unknown. In the summer of 1915 a small United States Geological Survey party in charge of H. M Eakin made a rapid exploration from Panama River at Cosna to the headwaters of Nowitna River and thence down the Nowitna to the Yukon. A preliminary state ment of the important geological and topographic observations made on that as part of Bulletin SAP, entitled "Ex- expedition has recently been publish ed by the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior,
 Much time has been spent by few prospectors in a search for placer gold on Nowitna River, but so far as is known the occurrence of conner cial placers in that region has not been demonstrated. In much of the region prospecting is beset with con siderable difficulty, owing to the great depth and breadth of the alluvial fill ing in the larger valleys. Although no lodes have yet been discovered the evidence available seems to suggest that the gold in the bedrock was prob ably introduced as a result of the igneous activities that produced the monzonites and granites, so that gold is most likely to be found near these intrusive masses. The map accom- panying this report indicates the dis tribution of these intrusive rocks as well as of the other geologic forma- tions.
 A copy of this report, which is in cluded in Bulletin 642-H. may be ob- tained from the Director of the Geolo- gical Survey, Washington, D. c.
