Fire Prevention Day October 9.
The anniversary of the Chicago
conflagration is October 9th and
nearly every state in the llnion will
observe this as "Fire Prevention
Day." The Insurance Department
of Oregon wishes to urge the ob
servance of this day and earnestly
requests the municipal officers to
call the attention of the citizens of
their community to the need
of fire prevention.
Fire prevention means good
housekeeping; the cleaning out of
attics, store rooms, closets and
basements; the proper disposal of
rubbish; repairing defective flues
and chimneys; repairing gas fix
tures and dlectric light cords; mak
ing heating plants and stoves safe;
and proper storage of gasoline.
Try fire prevention once and you
will find it is to your interest. I
am sure the cleaning up of places
will mean sanitation ss well as fire
prevention.
And I appeal to every school dis
trict to hold appropriate exercises
and fire drills. If any schools are
interested robably this depart
ment can offer suggestions for the
school program.
I trust that the insurance agents
will cooperate with the fire depart
ments and officers of the different
municipalities in order that the
many towns of this state may
properly observe this day.

Insurance Commissioner.
Monmouth, Ore. "A careful nly'
sis of (lie situation will couvtiu-e any j
one that Oregon neoils Normul
School iu Kastern Oregon and iso j
one In Southern Oregon," saiit J. H.
Ackernmn, President of the State Nor
n-.ul School at Monmouth. "It is a
well-established tact that a centrally
located Normal School cannot supply
the needs of the entire state. The
need of a Normal School In Eastern
Oregon Is readily proved by the most
cursory Investigation of the list of our
students and the list of our graduate
teachers. The estimated population
of our state in 1914 was 795.S8T. Take
lor example the eight Western Oregon
counties, Clatsop, Clackamas, Benton,
Lane, t.lnn, Marlon. Polk and Yamhill
Counties. Their population for 1914
was 214,608, or less than 2T per cent
of the total - population of the state,
yet 60 per cent of the graduates from
our Normal School for the past five
years are teaching school tn soma one
of these eight Western Oregon coun
ties. There ar SS counties In the
state, yet eight of these counties are
getting half of the benefit of the
teachers for which all of the counties
pay the taxes.
Here is the list. During the past
five years we hare supplied the fol
lowing graduates as teachers to these
counties:
Clatsop, IS; Clackamas. 20; Ben
ton, 25; Lane. 36; Linn, 28; Marlon,
2s; Polk, 25; and Yamhill, 20. In
other words, 203 of our 407 teachers
who have secured places in the public
schools In Oregon during the past five
years, have gone to these eight Wil
lamette Valley counties.
Now take eight .typical Eastern Ore
gon counties and see tt they have se
cured their proper share of teachers
with Normal training. During the past
five years we have supplied Normal
graduates as follows to these Eastern
Oregon counties;
Baker, 9; Grant, 1; Harney. 4; Mal
heur, 2; Morrow, 4; Umatilla, 10;
Wallowa. 7; and Wheeler, 2.
The eight Willamette Valley coun
ties had 203 Normal teachers as
against 39 Normal teachers for the I
eight Eastern Oregon counties. East
ern Oregon received less than 10 per
cent as against Western Oregon's fifty
per cent

each year to the farmers of stupend
ous proportions.
Many farmers this year will have
enough beets to bring the-n from
$00 to $125 an acre at a cost of
about $40 an acre.
"We told the people 'we would
help the farmers grow the crop
and advance money to this end and
we have distributed directly to
them upward of $25,000. This

often happens too that when he
oners lor sale what he has grown
he is turned nwav. and in mmn
cases has to dump his crop into the
hog pen.
"You need water here on your
land. Without water the country
will not develop but with water in
plenty your future will be a happy
one. Ihe land is here, the water
is running past your very door
waiting to be harnessed and, we
will be unwise indeed if we fail to
use these things God has placed
so near to us. This climate is
unsurpassed so that it is our own
fault if we remain dry and
parched. I predict that we will co
operate and we will wet the ground
and will make ten blades of grass
grow where none grows at this
time.
"We have' paid out thus far the
following sums: Southern Pacific
for freight charge. $50,729.83;
beet sheds, silos, sewers,
$125.673.21 ; advances to fai mers,
$38,29(5.0!); pay roll sugar and dyer
comptfny, $91,036.55; material
bought from local merchants,
$01,450.01. The contract for build
ing the factory contemplates pay
ment as the work progresses and
the sum to date added to the above
means a total expenditure of up
wards of $700,000. This is but the
beginning as we should pay for
beets alone each year upward of
$000,000 which, together with
fuel, limestone and other material
we will use m-ans an expenditure
each year, of upward of $1,000,000.
"When we put our sugar on the
market make use of it as you can
not get anything better. 1 have
every reason to believe that our
big brother, PorJund,. will do the
same and especially if , we in turn
see that the goods wo use bear the
Portland brand. Wo live near, so
far as distance is concerned; let us
live even closer together in our
business relations. We need Port-
land and Potland needs us."
