FIRE STATISTICS.
Statistics, recently gathered, as to
fires in collcgo buildings, show the
number of these fires to bo surpris
ingly large, and the result may be an
advance in the rate by Insurance
companies. "Insurance Engineer
ing" devotes its entire May issue 'to
an analysis of conditions in schools
and colleges. It received reports
from 322 institutions in reply to a
list of questions. "We learn the les
son from the colleges and universi
ties," writes the editor, "that pre
cautions against fire havo been neg
lected generally."
Acording to a compilation made
for Are underwriters, 784 flres in col
lege buildings in the United States
in eighteen years caused a loss of
10,500,000, besides several human
lives. Tho average money loss ex
ceeded $13,000.
Prominent underwriters were
asked by "Insurance Engineering"
to give opinions upon the average
college building as a "risk." Nearly
all agreed that It was a poor risk.
"There can bo no question," said one
underwriter, "as to tho unprofitable
ness of this class, especially the dor
mitories." Another said: "For the
Last fifteen years this department of
tho company shows a loss and ex
pense experience of 100 por cent on
colleges and schools."
Summing up his opinion an under
writer in one of tho big Insurance
companies says:
"College buildings should all bo of
fireproof construction hollow brick
interior walls and floors, iron or
stone stairways, and equipped with
Bomo approved flro extinguishers."
F. W. Fltzpatrlck, secretary of tho
International Society of Building In
spectors, says: I
"In no case is fireproof construc
tion more necessary than in the case
of college dormitories. Liko hotels,
they should bo absolutely fireproof.
It is a great deal more economical,
in the long run, to put up a build
ing that won't burn than to main
tain an elaborate fire-fighting sor
vlco especially as the lutter often
proves useless. The best way to
stop college flres is to use no wood
in tho structural parts of buildings.
Most modorn dormitories now are
stone or brick on tho outsldo; the
Inside should bo just as fireproof.
The ordinary brick building, with
wood inside, is easy prey for tho
flames. But hollow terra cotta
blocks, an inexpensive material,
mako floors and partitions unburn
able."
Disastrous fires within tho Inst
year or so have emphasized tho need
of better internor construction to
protect tho life of students. Tho
burning of the main building at
Dartmouth College Is still fresh in
the public memory.
Last December the Chi Psl Fra
ternity House at Cornell University
caught flro in the night, and three
students were burned to death. In
the attempt to save them three vol
unteer firemen also perished; five
students were Injured and the prop
rty lost was $300,000
In Montreal, Canada, on Feb
ruary 30, the cry of "Fire!" was
raised in Hochelaga School while
it was In session. Tho only stair
way .four feet wide, was made im
passable by smoke. The kindergar
ten teacher on the second floor
stayed In the building to help her
pupils. She and nine of the chil
dren lost their lives. Two brick
buildings of the Roman Catholic
Seminary at Mnrlevllle, Canada,
were destroyed in the same month
by a Are that burned for ten hours.
A seven-story brick building of tho
St. Stanislaus School in Chicago was
practically destroyed by fire on De
cember 22. Five days before that
fifteen girls were killed or fatally
in lured in Nashville, Tenn., by a
fire that gutted a four-story brick
building in about one hour. Hero
there were no fire escapes.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Every additional detail which
tends to throw light upon the South
ern Pacific line to Coos Bay will bo
received gladly by .Coos Bay people,
for all realize tiin inestimable good
that will result to the country as a
result of the roads coming. Rich
dairy, timber, and agricultural lands
that have hitherto suffered because
of lack of transportation will be
thrown open and the growth and de
velopment of the country will re
ceive a wonderful Impetus.
There is still, however, a certain
amount of wonder as to just whero
this line is going in relation to Coos
Bay. The location of the route
seems wrapped in doep impenetrable
mystery after it leaves the Umpqua
river above Gardiner. It Is certain
that tho cities on the bay will have
connection with tho road. It is also
obvious that the strategvtlc point be
tween Portland and San Francisco Is
Coos Bay because of Its deep water
facilities. It is practically assured
that tho bay will ont bo bridged.
Therefore the Southern Pacific must
long before this have purchased Its
route, which it appears must parallel
tho eastern side of the lower bay.
There could be no better plan followed-than
for that road to pass
down that side of tho bay.
It Is admittedly a freight road. It
has for Its chief aim tho handling of
tho enormous volume of freight
which Its coming will nurture.
Freight roads are not wanted on tho
peniusula of Coos Bay. They should
all run down the mainland across
the bay. lWo have a very small
peninsula here and cannot afford to
let It bo .taken up by more than our
terminal tracks and local electric
railroad.
