The greatest -work of the fire de
partment is the prevention of fires.
and the reduction of hazards. This
according to Chief William Priebe is
the statement of the National Fire
Underwriters and the Department of
Agriculture in launching its annunl
National fire prevention camppigrs
this week.
The local department is becoming
active In the work of the reduction of
loss through the prevention of fires.
Gerald Warner, captain of the local
squad has just returned from a week's
attendance at the school which wis
held at the state fail in Salem. Special
instruction was given in all elasse
of worij in connection with fire fight
ing, and special stress was laid upon
the necessity for checkng tires be
fore they begin.
Authorities Conduct Courses
Warner returned Monday from Sa
lem, where he went through with tho
courses and lectures held undr some
of the best authorities in the state.
The prevention of fire, he fays, was
dw?lt upon in several illustrated lee
tures and an effort made toward
awakening people to the riskF which,
in their carelessness they continue to
tolerate A large number of the fires
in ;t e state it was pointed out, ar-
of a preventable nature-, and when ;
householders realize that the prop j
caring for inflamable materhils and
the disposition of waste are import
ant, much fit the danger wili be rem
edied, i
The courses at Salem which warnT
atterded involved a daily drill which
occupied the greater part of the morn
ing Instruction in the us? of all kinds
of apparatus was given, and a Tiun-.ber
of minor improvements in equipment
were demonstrated.
State Well Represented
A special practice tower, five stories
in heighth was built for the n e of the
Vlas.j which consisted of more than
20 men sent as representatives frcm
departments over the entire s.tate.
Special instruction in the use cf
the fireman's life beJt and the Pompier
scaling ladder was taken by Warner
In the near future he will give an Tn-
ptruction demonstration fcf the loca
firemen, at which ihe use of this
pquipment will be seen.
The equipment at Cregcn City
Warner says, ranks well in compari
son with that used over the state.. A'
tho it is lacking in a number of minor
improvements, he says that it t
compatible with the best develop
ments in apparatus which were cx
hibited at the Salem school.
Fire prevention week this year, ac
cording to Chief Priebe, is being es
pecially applied to the farms jmd rural
districts. In this work the department
of Agriculture haa issued a statement.
showing that farm fires cost about
"$20,000,000 a year $18,166,710 in 1913.
Of the fires that year 33 per cent
were from causes as preventable, 37
per cent from partly preventable
causes, and 30 per cent unknown but
believed to have been largely pre
ventable. Prevention is the best way
to 3eal with them, it says. .
According to the statistics of th'.
National Board of Fire Underwriters1,
-there were 38,266 fires on farms in
a single year 1918 and the estimat

An increase of over 150 students
durirg the past three years, is shown
in the completed report of the en
rollment in Oregon, city during the
present term, which was completed
Friday by City School Superintendent
R. W. Kirk.
The total enrollment for the schools
in Oregon " City during the present
year is 1164, an increase of an even
150 studtnts since 1918. The largest
increase in the enrollment is found
in the growth during the past year,
In 1920 the enrollment in the school
was 1068, which shows a jump this
year of nearly 100 students.
In the three schools, according to
Mr. Kirk's figures, the registration
during 1919 and 1920 was practically
the same. During these years, the
enrollment was respectively 1062 am
1068
Detailed reports for this year's reg
istration in the three schools show
the number at the high school as 370;
Eastham school, 452 and Barclay
school, 342.

High school. 350; Eastham, 406, Bar
clay, 306. The registration in 1913
reached the point of 315 in the high
school, 354 at Eastam and 335- at Bar
clay.
A curious fact in the statistics is
that they show a decrease at East
ham school in. 1920 over 1919, al
though the total registration for the
three schools In this year showed a
slight gain.
One of the reasons for the increase
in the enrollment is that when the
city boundaries were changed and
Mount Pleasant taken In, a number
of those students came to the local
schools.
So crowded are conditions at the
Eastham schol that the Oregon City
board at its meeting Friday night,
authorized the employment of an ex
tra teacher A room to house the
pupils she will have under her super
vision is to be fitted out in the port
able building at Eastham.' The build
ing at present has but one classroom
but is . large enough to accomodate
two.
Conditions had become so crowded
that teachers in the sixth, seventh
and eighth grades had .45 or., more
studt-nts in their classes.

At New Era they met a detour
with the old road blocked. By this
time the speeder and the motorcycle
were out of sight, having taken the
detour on toward Oregon City. A
guardian waved a red flag, and upon
questioning said he had seen the
machine go by like blue blazes. "No
siree, that motorcycle never stands a
show of catching him."
Strategy Attempted
"Can we catch him if we take the
other road?" Governor Oicott asked.
The 'guardian didn't know who was
talking to him, but the excitement of
the chase was in his blood and he
dropped the bars. At Oregon City the
officials, saw a single light comiug
down the detour road . They haa
beaten the rider with the red h-ur
into town.
"How did you get here?" he asked
in amazement, and tlien admitted hfe
was no match for the Shasta beater.
Five dollars changed hands for all
that, an'd Red's career as a deputy
ended. He asked no questions as to
who the gentlemen might be and re
turned the way he had come.
Substitute Plan
For Taxes Offered
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 - -A man
ufaclurers' .sale stax of 3 per- cent
wm formally proposed to the senate
today by Senator Smoot, Republican
Utah.
The senator explained that thi.--
would be in. substitution for "all of
the various war taxes, the excise
taxes, "luxury taxes, stamp taxes,
capital stock tax, transportation, tele
graph and insurance taxes, the taxes
on soft drinks, ice cream, cosmetics,
admissions and dues, and all of the
other 'fifty-seven varieties,' of obnox
ious, discriminatory forms of taxa
tion," which would be repealed on
next January 1, under the- series of
amendments, to the revenue revision
bill offered by the senator.
Repeal of the excess profits tax as
of last January 1 instead of on next
January 1, as planned by both the
house and ihe senate finance com
mittees, also was proposed by Sena
tor Smoot Under his amendments.
the corporation income tax would re
main at 10 per cent, but there would
be no change in tte present tobaeco,
liquor and inheritance taxes.

Automobile Display
At Fair Creditable
SALEM, Ore., Sept. 29. The 1921
