MONTREAL Oct. 4-Coliu Rankin,
who died in Montreal recently at the age
OF 94, was the first native Canadian to

He was taken into the Hudson's Bay
Company's service in 1913 by Sir George
Simpson, known as the emperor gov

OF the long line of governors that be

champion Of the house Of Stuart in Crom-

FIRE LOSSES IN
u. S. LAST YEAR
= HALF A BILLION
Statistics Show $4,000 Lives
Lost and 1900 In
iured.

The Importance of preventing fires and
Of hating the rapidly increasing losses
to life and property, which is being
stressed throughout the country this
week on the occasion of the fiftieth an
niversary Of the Chicago fire which
occurred Oct l, 1871, has become a matter
requiring the constant education of the
public, In the opinion of Frank e.
Jordan, chairman of the fire prevention
committee of the Indianapolis Chamber
Of Commerce. and Jacob II. HIlkene, chief
OF the fire prevention division Of the In
dianapOlis Fire Force.
In discussing the extent OF FIRE losses
in the United States, which, last year
involved the death OF more than fifteen
thousand men, women and children, the
serious injury of an additional seven
teen thousand persons and a property
loss of more than $500, 600 600, Mr.. Hill
kene said: Suppose that some day We
should read in the newspapers, under
black headlines, a Government proclama-
ton in the following words: The people
of the United States VIII hereafter be re
quired to contribute to the Government a
special levy of s., 3700 600 per day, which
amount shall be Immediately destroyed.
Also, there must be furnished each day
fifty persons who shall be put to a
painful death II you read that In the
papers you would think it a joke or that
the editor of the paper was crazy. But
suppose you found out it was a fact
and that the destruction of property and
AliVes was actually taking place. Yet
Excepting the Government proclamation,
this is really happening each day in the
year in our country, and will continue un-
til people awake to your responsibility !"
Fire strikes at the basis of our pros
perity in several ways" Mr.. Hilkene
added. at destroys not only materials
but human labor as well. For example
the burning Of a wooden house does not
mean merely the burning OF the tree
which furnished the lumber. 1t means
the wasting of the transportation, the
handling, the saving, planning. the fit
ting; in fact. all Of the work Of the
minds and hands which caused it to
become a complete building"
Figures issued by William Curran, su-
perintendent OF the indianapolis Salvage
Corps, show that of a total fire loss Of
s., ST., $4,000 in Indianapolis for 1920
$245, 10000 was the total as a result of
fires in dwelling houses and that Of a to-
tai number Of runs of $3.50, 2.140 were
to private residences. Statistics for I
five-year period from 1915 to 1920 issued
by Mr.. Curran, show that the total FIRE
loss for Indianapolis for 1916 was S6S3,
5000 OF which amount the loss to dwell
ing houses was $1,000 900. The total loss
in 1917 rose to ST69, 0O10O In 1913 IT was
S2,049, $500, the enormous increase being
accounted for nv the fire in the Industrial
building at West Tenth and Canal In

more than made up for it, and

Saturday was the day of the

of the city were present in large
numbers to witness the defeat
of Colfax. But Colfax evidently
thought that discretion was the
better part of valour,. and the

This was a sad disappointment

most a certainty that Colfax
