SAFES FAIL TO
STAND FIRE TEST
During a recent fire In this city
eight safes were put to the test and
found wanting. Six of these were of
English make and two German. The
building was two story, of brick, only
the flooring borfng of wood. It was
occupied mostly by merchants, and
contained considerable quantities of
tobacco, cotton cloths, and opium. A
large amount of this stock was sav
ed. On opening their safes, however,
the merchants discovered that all the
papers and inflammable matter con
tained In them were entirely consum
ed. This incident has caused much com
ment here, and the consulate has
been asked whether American safes
exist capable of resisting a moderate
fire and of preserving from destruc-

Australian Smoke Consumer,
A practical demonstration has been
made thls city of an apparatus for
f consumption of smoke and the
economizing or ruei.
. The appliance consists of a patent
fire-bar area and is built in so as to
admit of the air being distributed
r the fire from the back, and by
mhod ,of fitting and regu-
latinS th a'r combust on
efn tbe obtained, thereby bringing
8bou, a reat savln of fueU a
ult the arf consumed and
the mke 'charged from the smoke
stack is reduced to an absolute mln-
imum.
The demonstration Bhowed that the
smoke from the furnace, which was
. .... ' .
charged with a full load of slack coal
was cut off within half a minute after
closing the doors. According to a re
cent test, the saving in coal amount
ed to a little over 25 per cent, while
the water evaporated per pound of
coal was increased by, over 40 per
cent.
Cotton Batting Little Used,
vice Consul General Carl R. Loop,
of London, states that cotton bats,
as such, are not yet extensively used
in the United Kingdom for quilts or
comfortables, eider down being the
equivalent material used in the man-
ufacture of quilts. If British mer
chants and dealers are convinced that
batting is just as good and that It
can be supplied as cheaply as, or
more cheaply than, the down, Amer
ican cotton batting should find a de
sirable market.

Cost of Fire In Canada.
In the last two years Canada has
lost 1 4 7.000.000 by fire. Consul Gen
eral James W. Ragsdale, of Halifax,
says that this means a per capita tax
equal to $3.36 per annum tor every
man, woman and child, and If the
census ratio of one adult man for
every five of population is consider
ed. then it means an annual loss
equal to 116.76 for every Canadian
family. This is a loss far greater
than that of any other country. In
Austria the per capita loss during the
same years was 29 cents; Denmark,
28 cents; France, 30 cents; Germany,
49 cents; Italy 12 cents; and Swltzer
land, 30 cents.

PRESIDENT-ELECT IS
FOR PAID MANAGER
Enthusiastic over the work that
wlll be before the Commercial asso
ciation this year and possessed of
much Information gathered on his
trip, Dan P. Smythe, president-elect
of the Pendleton Commercial club,
returned hone yesterday. While
away Mr. Smythe visited In Portland,
acoma and Seattle and needless to
say he devoted much time to visiting
the commercial organizations In those
cities and to talking to the men who
are carrying on the work In the va
rious organizations.
Returning home, Mr. Smythe says
he Is more Impressed than ever with
the belief that the local assoclatton
should get busy at once with the em
ployment of a paid seretary or man
ager so as to get the organization up
on a better working basis. He Is
anxious to see this reform brought
about before any other considerable
work Is undertaken by the association.
With a paid manager-secretary he
believes that the club membership
can be greatly Increased and the as
sociation placed upon a far stronger
footing than at present. Then other
work for local improvements such as
a new theater, can be undertaken.
Mr." Smythe is now recovered, from
his recent Illness and Is In much bet
ter health than before he left upon
his trip.
WFLL PROTECTION TO
PRKVKNT TYPHOID FEVER
Rloit of the t'nltotl States Goologi
col Survey.
The menace of typhoid fever In
country districts a menace arising
from polluted drinking water Is
thoroughly considered in a report by
Myron L. Fuller, of the United States
geological survey, in which the va
rious sources of pollution are Indi
cated and suggestions are given for
means of protection.
Typhoid-fever rates are usually
greater in the country than in cities,
despite the prevailing belief that
farms, Isolated ns they are from areas
of congested population, are Ideally
Rituated for obtaining pure and
wholesome water.
Wells Unprotected.
Failure to prtect adequately the
wells In farming districts Is given in
the survey's report as the most com
mon reason for their pollution, and
Ignorance of Iho manner in which
ground water circulates Is the cause
of the faulty protection. Chemrcal
analysis is not rated high by Mr. Ful
ler as a means of detecting polluted
water, for he asserts that a careful
commonsense inspection of the dis
trict Is usually more to the point.
Radius of Danger Zone.
Sources of pollution In the vicinity
of a well or spring should be ot-d
wherever possible, and drlnktng
water should not be drawn except at
a safe distance from them. The dis
tance required for absolute safety
varies greatly with the character of
the rock. For wells sunk In sand
stone, slate and Bhale, 1000 feet may
be sufficient; where the surface strat
us Is composed of fine sand 200 feet
should be allowed; and where it 1b
limestone or granite much greater
distances will be necessary. Water
may run polluted In limestone for
miles bo that wells In regions where
limestone makes up the greater part
of the Bnurface rock should be care
folly examined after rains for mud

Suggestions for Protection.
For protecting wells, springs, and
cisterns Mr. Fuller advocates, first
of all. a water-tight lining to keep
out surface water. Wells and springs
should always be covered and pro
tected from animals, dust and fall
ing leaves. Watering troughs should
always be located a safe distance
away, though the custom prevails In
country districts of having well and
trough side by side.

Russian Wool Clip.
The September wool clip of South
Russia in 1910 was medium in qual
ity and reduced in quantity as com
pared with 1909. In places this re
duction is alarming, and seems to
indicate that unless unforseen chang
es take place wool growing In South
Russia wlll soon be a thing of the
past.
In the Don territory, including some
of the adjoining districts of the els-
Caucasian region, the total quantity
of the rough wool clip Is about 180
tons. Lost season it was double that
quantity. In the Crimea the clip
seems to aggregate about 129 tons.
against 324 to 360 tons In 1909. In
other parts the decrease is not so
marked. In Bessarabia it is inap
preciable and in some minor districts
there may be even an Increase. The
general trend, however, Is downward.
The results per sheep vury surpris
ingly, running from 1 pound to nearly
lOpo unds. The staple la very much
mixed. The quality 'of pure wool In
the hundredweight of the fleece runs
from 27 pounds up to nearly three
times that. As a rule, the wool is el
astic and durable. At the annual
fairs, where the bulk of the wool is
exposed for sale, prices varied from
(2.06 per 36 pounds for Inferior and
unwashed wool to 112.88 for a cleaner
and better article.
Consistent diplomacy must defend
a consistent cause.
