Seth in Fire Losses
North Dakota stands thirty-sixth,
among all of the states in the amount
of loss by fire and the figures quoted
should be increased by about 26 per
cent to cover losses not reported to
the National Board Of Fire Under
writer's.
The states losses during the five
years from 1916 to 1920 inclusive av-
eraged $1,990,434 per annum. II the
total of $9,952,172 could have been
used instead of wasted, it would have
built 1890 houses at $4,000 apiece
(sufficient to furnish homes for $3.50
people, or more than the population
Of Bismarck) or it would have built
995 miles of good macadam roads at
$4,000 mile.
A study Of scuh figures indicates
the need Of public education in fire
prevention. It should h. realized that
property destroyed by fire represents
an utter and irretrievable loss to the
people as q whole, while the inexcus-
able toll in human life and suffering
can hardly be computed.

STATE FIRE LOSSES HUGE sun
Underwriters Make Public Figures
Showing Comparison of State
With Others.

During the five years ending with
1920, fire losses in North Dakota
caused the destruction of property
valued at the astonishing total of &c.
952,172, according to figures made
public today by the National Board
of Fire Underwriters, which compiled
the statistics from it's Actuarial Bu-
reau's records. These figures reveal
in a startling way, the price being
paid by the state for public ignorance
and carelessness in handling fire
hazards.
The causes are classified under
three headings, of which two are des-
ignated as strictly preventable" with
a total of $3,166,O ,O66 or 31.s per cent
of the whole; nine are designated as
"partly preventable," the aggregate
being $4,203,037 or AZ per cent OF
the complete loss, and in addition
there are those listed in the "un.
known" column, which total $2,593,
069, or 26 per cent. The. unknown
losses may be considered as largely
preventable since, if determined, they
would have been distributed among
the other causes.
In analyzing the figures, it is found
that while Exposure" which means
the effect Of communicated fires, was
responsible for the heaviest loss, ST..
927,726, the principal specific cause
Of fire was Stoves, Furnaces, Boil.

A good attendance and interest was

as soon as spring opens.
VIM. Vande Vorste made some con-
! vincing remarks about his experience
with silage.
It seems that this prolonged Sc
we're weather has brought hay and
feed shortage in many parts of the
county where they thought they were
well supplied. Strasburg has already
ordered several hundred tons of hay
and Westfeld and Hague are plan
ming to ship in soon.
We suggest and urge that all farm
ers who make applications to the
county for seed, would include corn,
sweet clover or other grass seed. This
winter has certainly taught US that
we can't depend upon wild hay. Corn
is our safest and surest crop even in
as dry year as the past year. Any
one applying for a hundred acres OF
wheat should put in at least thirty
five to forty acres of corn. Corn will
not only furnish feed, but it will make
an excellent seed bed for wheat the
following year.

YOU NAY THINK
THIS A FISH STORY

The Grand Junction News relates
the following tale:
The Gunnison river IT this time
Is . source Of interest to sightseers
for an entirely new cause. In May
and June hundreds 20 to Orchard
mesa 70 view the raging torrents Of
the spring food Now they are
going to zee the bottom Of the river
exposed as never before by the ex-
tremely low water prevailing. There
is scarcely any water flowing down
the bed Of the usually mighty cur
rent. The bare rocks, ragged here,
flat and tablelike there and inter-
estingiy different everywhere is .
estingly different everywhere is n
sight worth seeing. The actual bed
of the river is exposed for miles
until there is hardly enough water
to keep the riverfish supplied and
they can almost be seen kicking up
dust as they wander from pool
TO pool. Unless the river stops
lessening its flow the city will have
the river sprinkled to keep the fish
alive.
Now the above is the truth for the
writer was 1T Delta last Friday and
saw almost the same appearance Of
the Gunnison. The demand of the big
irrigation bitches in this exceedingly
dry season is such that the remaining
river is = mere thread, occasionally
collecting in pools.
But the curious thing, to our notion,
was the way the suckers and catfish
pile down the big canals and distri-
butte into the irrigation bitches. On
the farm of Walter Williams at Delta
we saw them not only almost, but nc.
tually kicking up dust in the irri.

In many streams of the state where
trout have been planted at lower al.
titudes, they have all died, as the
rivers dwindled and the remaining
water got too hot during the Angus,
