Shimmel Follows.

"You don't make serious efforts tt
prevent fires except for eprsonal
reasons, he said. Roosevelt was tht
| first man to start the campaign fol
| preservation of the nations resour'
ces," he said, "the waste of millions
of feet of timber was a crime," he
continued. '>,~
There has been no excuse for the
immense waste and the same applies
to the mines. It is stated that every
year there are from S2S0,00O,0OO to
$365,000,0OO wasted, which would
mean considerable for every young
man, and it takes a young man years
to accumulate $1,000 of his own af-
ter he starts. If every man would
devote five per cent of his time and
figure fire prevention, there would be
little loss. The fire loss in Europe
has been exceeded here for ten years.
There is only about 10 per cent of
the timber left in the country. l tell
you we can't get along much longer.
A few years ago lumber sold for $40
to $12 per thousand and today is SELL
ing at from $55 to $50 per thousand.
We burn up $3.50 worth OF Europe's
33 cente. The difference between
America and Europe is 800. The loss
to Minnesota: last year amounted to
Sc head for the population Of the
state. Everything is taxed for fire
losses and the property owners pay
the tax.
Question Unanswered.
II can't solve the capitalists nor
reduction of hours by the labor
unions. If any one can tell me that
in the last five years shorter hours
and higher wages have Increased pro-
duction, I'd like to hear them say So
Can any one here tell me? I'm not
taking sides in the matter, merely
asking and the middle class is going
to have hard time to live. When
wages are raised SO cents, products
are raised 81.
We've got to do something. If
a man shoots your hog it is your loss.
If he starts a fire and burns your
house, what do you get? Laws for
this should be severe. They have
drastic laws in Canada.
"In China, banker steals money
from the bank and he is caught, they |
cut his head off, That's why China |
hasn't had a bank shortage in 800 |
years. The man who starts the fires |
and burns others property should be
taken accordingly"
Mr.. Shimmel then spoke on care
lessness in Easements resulting in
starting of fires, and asserted that
Easements should be kept clean and
free from all chances of fire as no one
who works in the store stays in the
basement all day, and that there are
lew fire proof Easements.

SEWERAGE

Annual Report.

Streams which flow through the
public parks of the National Capital

delay in completing the proposed

r Phillips, sanitary engineer of the
District, warns in his annual report
to the Commissioners.
Tho engineer states in his report
that examination of the water of
purity is SO affected as to render the
spread Of water-borne disease prob
able by children in the parks playing
in these streams. Discussing the need
for completing this project the re-
port continues:

ect, which contemplates the removal

provides for connecting the Maryland
interceptors to be laid along the lines
of these streams with the sewage-dis-
posal system of the District of Column
bia-
while the work of completing the
necessary fnterceptors within the Dis
trfct is far advanced, no actual con-
struction has been begun by the sani-
tary commission organized by the
state Of Maryland of the interceptors
within the state, and no beneficial re-
suits can accrue under the authority
granted by Congress and by the state
until these Maryland interceptors are
built. Meanwhile, the serious contain
ination of park streams by the dis
charge of raw sewage from these
Maryland towns is increasing, and
meteorological examinations Of the
waters of the streams indicate that
their purity is SO affected as to render
the spread of water-borne disease
probable by children in the parks
