DANGEROUS FIRE RISKS.

Insurance engineers recently visited
a prosperous manufacturing town of
1000 inhabitants in Oregon and from
the fire risk standpoint this is what
they found:
insufficient water pressure, lack of
hydrants near school buildings, insult
ficient fire equipment, absence of fire
prevention regulations, AZ places
where wiring was defective, % places
where walls and floors were unpro-
tected from stove heat, Ia places
where gasoline was improperly kept,
Is places without metal cans for oily
waste and rags, 10 places with defec-
tive stoves, pipes and flues, 8 places
where ashes were found in wooden re-
ceptacles, Al places where chimneys
were on brackets and SO places with
accumulation of rubbish and trash.
This is typical of conditions in hun
dreds of places. 1t is such conditions
as this that insurance rating bureaus
and engineers are trying to correct.
Public cooperation would go a long
way toward reducing fire losses of
life and property.

assist the states in the classification
of land, and TO harmonic between
the different states. The states would
also handle public property owned by
them and they would have a further di-
rect responsibility in connection with
the protection and perpetuation of
private forest lands.
With regard to the federal attitude
toward private forestry, it is suggest
ed that the government would work
primarily through the state agencies.
To initiate the proposed policy, a fed
eral law would be necessary author
izing the government to cooperate
with the states in bringing about the
protection and right handling of for
est lands within their borders and
providing means for such coopera-
ton.

PHILLIPS COUNTY TO
TO HOLD BOND ELECTION

The county commissioners have de-
cided that they will put the question
of bonding for a new court house uI
to the voters at the primary election
in April. The county is in position
at this time to bond for a building
that will meet the needs of the county
for years to come, but it is doubtful
if the issue was postponed until after
the next legislature if we would be in
position to do so. 1t is a fact that
we are sadly in need of a building
that will answer the purpose. At the
present time we have the officials
housed in four or five different build
ings and paying more than enough
rent to pay interest on the bonds that
would be floated.
The country has out grown it's pres
ent quarters and the time will soon be
here when we will have to make ar
~rangements for additional vault room.
Every cent we put into fixing up our
present quarters is a loss to the coun-
ty and the money should be spent in
fixing up a permanent home for the
county. It is a subject that every
taxpayer should give careful consid-
Grafton. We have the grounds for a
court house site and the Jail will be
in a short time. Why not
have a complete set of buildings?.-

RAILROADS MUST SPEND
THREE BILLION DOLLARS

St. Paul, Jan. 3.-Three billion dol
lars must be spent by the railroads of
the United States within the next
few years" to provide first-class pas
senger and freight facilities, was a
declaration made here today by How
ard Elliott, president of the Northern
Pacific railroad, who came here from
New York for conferences with prom
inent railroad officials.
"Difficult and serious as is the
plight of the railroads, and of the
owners of 5000 900, 900 of railroad
property, it is not more serious than
the condition facing the country" said
Mr.. Elliott.
Transportation facilities must be
made available not only for the in
creases that a progressive nation like
the United States needs each year.
"Since the government took control
only 100000 new freight cars have
been bought, so that at the end of 1919
there probably are not more than g.
400 900 freight cars in the country
slightly more than in 1915. 1t is not
too much to say that probably $3,OO0,-
900 900 should be spent for cars, en-
gines and shop facilities by American
railroads within the next few years
if the country's transportation needs
r to be met"
Mr.. Elliott left for Chicago tonight.
He did not make any announcement
regarding reports, circulated in rail-
road quarters here, hat the leading
roads of the country are planning to
make important statements regarding
~broadened passenger services when
private ownership is restored.
There have been reports hat sched-
ules to the Pacific coast via various
routes are to be shortened and that
trains de luxe and extra-fare trains
will be put into service.

1t is planned to place a heavy tax

VIOLENT EARTHQUAKE
SHAKES UP MEXICANS

Mexico City, Jan. 5.-Scores of per-
sons were killed in a violent earth
quake which occurred in many parts
of Mexico Saturday night. The CEN
ter of the disturbance is believed to
have been neal the volcano of Oriz-
aba.
The complete press reports indicate
that the state of Vera Cruz suffered
more than any other section. Advices
from Cordova say that 80 dead have
already been counted in the village of
San Juan Coscomatepec where many
houses were destroyed. There are UNI
confirmed reports of a similar catas-
trophe in the village of Suatasco. At
Japaiac further north, a number were
killed. Owing to lack of communica-
ton with the other small towns and
villages in the theater of the disturb
ances, estimates of the casualties are
impossible.
The panic in the capital among the
ignorant classes was indescribable.
Many of the people fled from their
homes and flocked to the churches.
The Indians in the suburbs hurried to
the shrine of the virgin of Guadalupe.
From Toluca, Cuernavaca and Pueb-
10 come similar stories of panic.
Slight damage was done to the poor
ly constructed homes of the poor peo-
pie. Panic reigned in various cities
and villages in the state of Vera
Cruz where the people left their
homes and spent the night in the
streets.
Late press reports indicate that the
results of the earthquake are more
serious than at first thought. 1t is
that the casualties will ex-
coed two thousand. A number of riv-
ers and mountain streams have gone
dry while the lowlands in other dis
tricts are flooded. Numerous indus
tries depending on electric power de-
rived from dams on the rivers which
recently went dry may have to close.

thinking. The ~watchword of this
country today should be steady and
the slogan should be law and ORDER

We find 95 per cent of the American
labor to be clean, square and sound.
But we find the vicious element from
the other five per cent, and while we
are getting rid of a bad lot, don't

General Wood urged that better care
be taken of the arriving immigrants.
In regard to the schools he said
that the country had "rather gone to

MUST COOPERATE TO
SAVE u. S. FORESTS

The rate of depletion of the for
ests of this country is more than twice,
probably three times, what is actually
being produced by growth in a form
serviceable for products other than
firewood. Consequently, high prices
of lumber are not wholly due to in
creased costs of production. An i'm
portant factor is the ever-retreating
sources of timber supply. Already
the supplies of all the great eastern
centers of production are approaching
exhaustion, with the exception of the
south, and even there most of the mills
have not over 10 to Is years supply of
virgin timber. Already the southern
pine is being withdrawn from many
points as a competitive factor and it's
place taken by western timbers. This
inevitably results in added freight
charges, which the consumer must pay.
These facts are called to public at
tention in the annual report of the for
ester of the United States department
of agriculture, recently published.
Their presentation is accompanied by
a plea that the nation adopt an enlarg-
ed program of public acquisition of
forests by the government, the states
and municipalities, and protection and
p~erpetuation of forest growths on all
privately owned lands which may not
better be used for agriculture and
settlement.
In the early years of the present
century it looked as though the man.
agement of forests as permanent, pro-
ductive properties might be voluntar-
lily undertaken by private owners on
a large scale, but since then the sit
uatien has materially changed. The
need for the adoption of an enlarged
program of acquisition, the United
States department of agriculture
points out, has become increasingly
urgent. More than 20 years ago the
division of forestry, as it was ther
called, offered to give advice and as,
sistance to private timber owners who
might wish to consider. applying for
est management to their properties
BY the middle of 1905 requests hac
been received for the examination OF
private holdings, large and small, com
prising in all 10000, 900 acres of land
Many of these requests were frA,
large lumber companies and Other
owners of extensive timber tracts. Or
the strength of the showing made by
the preliminary examinations, a mum.
Der of. these large owners entered in.
i to cooperative agreements for the
preparation of working plans.
But private forest interests failed
to follow up the beginning, and the
federal government and the states, in
the opinion Of the department of agri-
culture, must join hands to work out
a program that will correlate public
and private efforts looking to the
protection and proper administration
of forests. The function of the fed
erai government, in addition to hand
ling the national forests, it is sug
gested, would be to stimulate, guide
and coordinate state action and ION
duct necessary Investigations regard
ing the best methods of forestry, to
