Millions of dol lars' worth of property go up In smoke every year in thlB country, largely for the reason that we are careless In our surrounding; we fall to realize how very Important it is that we shall take proper precaution by putting our premise in the best possible condition to -guard ugain.st Just such contingen cies as are so frequently found, result ing In tremendous aggregate damage to life and property. Saturday. April 18, having been set snide in Oregon as a day upon which the cltlzennhlp shall pay special heed to fire prevention, I appeal to the peo ple of Portland to lend hearty coopera tion, to the end that this city may see a decrease in its annual contribution to the god of fire. A trifling thing may be the cause of a great conflagra tlon; Immense toll, both In lives and property. Is often levied by a careless act of ah individual, within itself ap parently insignificant.

Churchill, chairman of the Oregon Civic league's fire prevention rummlttec, has prepared a few fire prevention hints as follows: Don't allow waiste paper, boxes, and rubbish to accumulate In alleyways, barns, sheds and cellars. Waste paper fri thce places has caused many fires. Bon't put suwdiiHt In wooden boxes for spittoons. Clean up dead leaves and grass. Remove all papers, splinters and other Inflammable material from neighborhood of stoves and furnaces. Protect furnace and stove by metal or asbestos, -covering over adjacent woodwork. Have your chimneys cleaned once or twice a year. It will avoid burning out of chimney and danger from fire. They will draw better, and you will save coal tnereoy. Look out for defective flues. Some' times a House is faultily constructed Part of the weight Is borne by the chimney. Then if the bulldincr settles the chlmnev Is likely to crack and fire get through to the woodwork;. Inspect frequently. ' Stovepipes should never be permitted to run through roofs or sides of build ings. Do not go away from home and leave a red hot stove In the house with no one there to watch it. Hot ashes and clinkers should be kept In a closed metal receptacle and carried away to a point where they can be dumped without danger to sur rounding property. Don't put them on . a dumbwaiter; nor In wooden recepta- Two features witnessed during the circus parade yesterday. of house, sheds, AI G. Barnes and the local , nobles of the Mystic Shrine officially opened the sawdust ring season along with baseball yesterday at the Shrine circus now in progress at Multnomah field.
