loss from fires for 1927 in the United states
was S4S5.mO.W 600 IN insured rr"p"rtE alone
some idea of tn" necessity for fire proven

OOn. The fire insurance companies estimate
that - Fer cent of all fire losses are un-
insured.
cone of the most disQuieting features of
the whole situation is the fact thnt the
annual number Of fires Is on the increase.
,rLis really means more than the fact that
the losses are very much greater with each
succeeding year. because Il single fire may
result in n very heavy loss, but that the
n ycry serious matter.
"rhc fire loss in 1870 was SOL 900, 900 in
rouud numbers Fifty years later, in 1920.
il was not quite S44S, 600 600. and last year
il reached the total Of $3.50, 900 .OOO. These

Of uncertainty there rather than because of

he deliberately set himself to carry ont his

MY IMPRESSION Is that Fcchnrr proved
lHl his discovery of the SubronciouS self in
man by his experiments on the optic nerve
and its reactions; and that those who came
after him have invented whole series Of

the point at which the mind is conscious

the skin feels.
All If these experiments were not of par

WESTWARD FAMILIES NEED
 HELP FOR COMING WINTER

Rev. R. V. B. Dunlap, who returned from the westward, has reported to the local Red Cross organization a case of destitution at Seldovia. A family consisting of mother and four children are in need of some of the comforts of life, particularly clothing. The parent is ill and is not expected to live through the winter and is un- able to provide for her offspring. It is urgently requested by the Red Cross that all families in Seward who have any surplus children's clothing that they are willing to donate to a good cause to leave them at the home of Mrs. Krefting. The ages and sex of the children are: girl, aged II; girl, aged z years; boy, aged g years and a nine months old baby. Baby cloth ing would be particularly acceptable.

STATE APPLE CROP
 FOR 1922 Is LARGE

OLYMPIA August 31-Though some districts will not do as well as last year, Director E. L. French, of the de- pa2tment of agriculture, says Wash ington's apple crop as whole will be fully equal to that of 1921. Last year this state attracted the attention of the whole country by the size and the quality of it's apples There has been falling off in soft fruits, Director French says, and the Eastern market for berries and small fruit has not been as good as usual. Weather con- ditions curtailed the size of the crop However, MT French says, more small fruit has been canned than dur ing previous years, large amount be- ing put up in barrels.

STRIKERS BUSY IN DESTROYING
 ROAD PROPERTY
CARNIVAL OF DESTRUCTION IS DAYS REPORT CONCERNING
 THE RAILROAD STRIKE

CHICAGO, Sept. IA summary of the various courses of destruction and hindrance to railroad operation on the part of the strikers for one day reads like a piece of highly dramatized fic- tion
 The compilation of the reports shows that strikers attempted to blow up train going at full speed; burned and dynamited several bridges in vari- ous parts of the country; conspired in a new train-wrecking plot; greased the tracks where the union strong holds were the largest; slugged many loyal workers and non-union men; created considerable damage to prop ertty and committed many other acts of lawlessness throughout the coun- try-all within the space of twenty four hours.
 Federal authorities are prepared to make a sweep of the lawless element within the next day or so.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The soi- dier bonus bill carrying with it an ex- penditure of four billion dollars, was passed by the Senate yesterday after noon just before adjournment, being the last measure legisIated upon. The bill will now go into conference for further consideration before going to the president for signature.
 As amended by the Senate the bill would become effective January I, 1923, and provides three optional plans for the veterans of the world war, other than those whose adjusted serv- ice pay would not exceed $50. These payments would be made in cash. The optional plans offered are:
 1. Readjustment of service certifi- cates, which will be payable in twenty years or sooner at death and contain ing a loan provision.

FALL SEASON STARTS

Today is the first of the fall season, if one can say we have any fall season in Alaska Summer came like a thief in the night and no one can say when he came. The killing frosts experi- enced from few miles from the coast to Fairbanks have caused dam- age to crops and may cause a short age of spuds and other crops planted late. But the ptarmigan and rabbit crop will be abundant and Alaskans will manage to pull through, looking confidently forward to better season next year.

MANY PRISONERS ARE
 BROUGHT FROM WEST

Chief Deputy S. o. Casler brought in no less than round dozen prison CTS and insane patients from the west ward upon the Starr yesterday-s1X prisoners and six insane. The charges registered against those in custody are as fololws:
 Wm. Mcclure of Unga, burglary, bound over to the grand jury
 Nakita Polutoff, Unga, incest, also bound ovec to the grand jury.
 Peter Rasmussen, Unga, murder in the first degree, bound over
 A. Zarefiki, Nushagak, assault, sen fenced to serve term at Valdez.
 Adolfa Cordova, Nushagak, assault, sentenced to serve term at Valdez.
 The insane patients were Thomas J. Crow, Miguel Mora, Harry Nortgord, Sauya Matoba, K. Marano, Tenie Ele- mak. All of the insane patients will be taken to the Morningside sanl- tarium Perhaps the most pathetic of the insane cases is that of Tenia Ele- mak, a child of five years who is left mentally deficient through the ravages of influenza. All of those committed to the asylum are employees of the canneries to the westward.
 The guards who will have custody of the patients and prisoners are liar ny Humple, w. Olson, E. c. Maddox, and Barbara Husby, who will act as matron.
 Chief Deputy Casler will have the party in charge until it arrives at it's destination.

2. Vocational training and at rate of $1.75 per day up to a total of 14o per cent of the adjusted service cred it.
 3. Government aid in purchasing a farm or a home, the total amount of the investment to range from 100 per cent of the adjusted service credit if money were advanced in 1923 to 14o per cent of the adjusted service credit if payment were made in 1928, or thereafter
 The provisions contained in the bill were compiled after many committee meetings and are believed to be the best that the government could offer. 1t is anticipated that there will be no further amendments or changes in the bill when it comes up for final pas- saqe to become law.
