FIRE TAKES HEAVY TOLL FROM OREGON It is evident that Oregon continues to supply plenty Of material for the flames to feed on.- Any doubt of this fact is removed by the figures of the1 state's f ire1 fcaste during 1923, just issued by The National Board of Fire Underwrit ers. From its Actuarial Bureau, the center of American fire loss statistics, the National Board finds that to the grand to tal for the United States, $533,32,728, Oregon' contributed no less than $7,735,947. (The national figure includes 25 percent for unreported and uninsured losses.) This fire loss which places Oregon eighteenth among the forty-eight states compares with destruction of $1,840, . 156 in 1918. It thus shows an increase in five years of $5, 895,791. Analysis of, the elaborate tabulation published by the National Board establishes the fact that, of the twenty so called Originating causes, ''Matches-Smoking" was chiefly responsible for this monstrous wastage. Its share of the damage inflicted was $296,453. Following "Matches-Smoking" came "Defective Chimneys and Flues," with $217,310, and "Steves, Furnaces, Boilers and Their Pipes," to which was attributed $161,838 loss. At) three- fell within the "Strictly Preventable" classification, which lends support to .he contention of fire prevention engineers that fully 75 .percent of the country's perennial fire destruction always is clearly avoidable, because to that extent it is due to public habits of carelessness and to ignorance. Turned to use), instead Of into smoke, such a sum as Oregon lost in 1923 would have built no fewer than 77 mod ern, fire-resistive school houses, at an individual cost of $100,000. Applied to the construction of good macadam roads, to the erection and maintenance of hospitals or to any one of a score of public works, this amount of money would have served the two-fold purpose of improving condi tions and at the same time lowering taxes. Furthermore, there were sundry incidental losses, apart from the maim one, that should not be forgotten. All of the property destroyed was automatically removed, at least for a time, from municipal tax rolls; which, of necessity, meant an! Increased levy upon Other property holders. The heavy cost of extinguishing the many individual fires that resulted . in Jne $7,735947 total Is one which must be reckoned with, and; this expense, too, was borne by the public. . , ' Regrettable beyond everything else,- however; and com p&ely overshadowing the combined financial burden, were tSetoss of life and the injuries from fire, which, in com $Zuy with the rest of the spates, Oregori had to record. To rtSlize that at least three-fourths of the life and property sacrifice might have been avoided by the exercise Of care and knowledge, and not to feel strongly the urgency of public Instruction In the prevention of fire, is scarcely possible for eyone who has at heart his own best interests and those Of K native state. , . v o Things are pretty lively for the average business man aad property owner in Oregon just at the present moment. During the month of February the county - presented its "clients" with 1924 tax statements, the' government asked .lot a cheeking of your income for the same year, with a re minder that income taxes must be paid by March 15, this year. And, for fear you might nave a stray penny in your overalls, the state is going to collect that unpaid portion of the 1921 state income tax. .They ought to find something else to hang on the taxpayers just to keep them warm un til spring arrives. o A beauty parlor, costing some $2,000 was opened in the Elgin state hospital for the Insane at Chicago today. Three beauty experts will be employed! to "doll up" the female in mate? of the institution. What effect the new innovation is going to have on the women folks of the institution is not made public, but presumably the new idea is to manufacture flappers. o , The lid was taken off the Teapot Dome oil scandal again today, and a momentous legal battle will ensue. Now that the national campaign has long since ended the oil scandal "kick" from a political standpoint has lost its force.

Sinclair group, opened In federal court here before Judge Kennedy this morning. Atlee Fomerene, associated with Owen J. Roberta as special coun sel for the government, opened, the trial In a statement which review ed briefly the transactions which led up to the granting of the lease to the Mammoth company. Mr. Pomerene declared the gor- ernment would aeek revocation of the lease on two grounds: first, that It waa without any authority of law became It waa hn to the Mammoth without competitive bid ding and without having been ad vertised; secondly that the leaae and contract waa entered Into aa a result of a conspiracy of Sinclair and the secretary of the Interior." The alleged conspiracy Mr. Pom erene said, waa against the -Inter est of government. He charged that through fraud and Vecrecy the details were kept from the pub lic and government officials. Edward C. Finney, assistant secretary of the interior depart ment and the first witness called by the government, testified that he wss not Informed by Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the Inter ior, of the signing of the Teapot lease until several days after It had been In effect. Previously he had testified that under the custom prevailing in the department leases relating to gov ernment reserves had been submit ted to him for approval. Finney said thst advertisements for competitive bids on the Tea pot lease had not boon made. Under examination Mr. r inney said that Fall had Issued an office memorandum requesting employes of the Interior department not to give out details of the contract.

She waa present the night her husband waa inaugurated aa governor, but wa never able to ea ter the state house afterward. Mrs. Pierce took a deep interest In her husband political career, sttLuugh she seldom appeared. He waa away from home much, both because of hi interest in Mat af fairs and because hla farm and the cattle on the range took boa. But there was tha must complete har mony of interest between them. She had not been strong tor some years prior to her severe illness, and Governor Pierce's solicitude for her at all times was extreme. During hi campaign for the nomi nation two year ago he went to his home tar La Grande and back to western Oregon many times Just because he wished to see how she waa getting along and to have a few houra with her..
