Locally the fire department is to do ever) thing possible to aid In tbe observance of the special week. The lessons of fire prevention will be taken up la all of the schools of the city, where It is believed that the most lasting remits are obtainable, by a systematic course ot instruction. Textbooks have been procured and will be placed in each school room. Theatres will run slides, tulks will be given before clubs and at various gath erings and during the week the topic will be kept beture the people of the city in many ways. The official proclamation issued by Governor l'lerce follows: "It is the duty or every citizen of Oregon to bear bis fair share in the common effort to preserve and uplift the great state ot which we are all a part. Each and every one of us are di rectly affected by the present and fu ture of our natural resources, our In stitutions, and our commonwealth. In order that we may reap the utmost benefits from our resources and that those resources continue to Increase in volume and value It ia necessary that we pause to view the tremendous waste of our assets and loss of life through fire and to pledge ourselves anew to use every effort to prevent fire loBses. The records of Oregon show the de struction last year of over 9,0o0.000 in vroperty, besides tbe loss of 19 lives, 13 of whom were children and nine of them under the age of ten years. "Fire waste is becoming a Berious menace to our nation. Only by arous ing the public u the appalling situa tion and securing the co-operation of all the people can we hope to reduce this needless loss. "In furtherance of this thought, add pursuant to the general practice throughout the United States, 1, Wal ter M. Fierce, governor of the stale of Oregon, do hereby proclaim the week beginning Sunday, October 7, and ending Saturday, October 13, as Fire Frevention Week and urgently requtat that appropriate exercises be held in the schools and churches. Al so, that all the civic and municipal of ricials prepare- programs that will help to educate the peoplo as to tho necessity or rire prevention." ' o w lic 74 -Harlev-Davldson at a sacrifice.
