FIRE PREVENTION.
Bend Is fortunate in having a fire
Surrey made, by state experts who
have had sufficient experience to be
able to tell what Is right and what
Is wrong in fire conditions and to ad-;
vise Impartially as to what should be
done to make things right where j
they are wrong. The Bulletin wishes
to aid Messrs. Stokes and Alien, the
deputy fire marshals now here, and is; anyone
therefore glad to present the follow
ing which they have submitted for
publication:
"The Are marshal law was created
at the 1917 session of the legislature
for the purpose of saving life and
property against the ravages of fire.
We find that 60 per cent, of the fires
in Oregon are from preventable
causes, and our work consists in
pointing out the hazards that start

Just In time. too. because a volley

Wo could see the Hashes of their

were going over our heads.
We lost three men killed and one
wounded in the arm. If it hadn't been

"Owing to the deplorable condi
tion the city of Bend is in. in re
gard to practically being without a
fire department, and the proper
equipment with which to fight a
conflagration, it is of the utmost im
portance that a rigid inspection of
all buildings be made, with regular
ity and that without delay includ
ing private dwellings.
"Fire protection has a threefold
significance and embraces, first, the
means of safeguarding or abolishing
causes which originate fire; second,
the provision of means which may
confine fire to the space in which it
originates, and, third, the necessary
means of adequate fire extinguish
ment. "At the present time your city is
not embracing any one of the three
in the manner in which it should for

"Rigid inspection of all buildings,

fire preventors is of such unques

vention is so apt to suffer from ne
glect unless the propaganda on this
point is continually forced to the
front. Fire marshals, fire chiefs,
firemen, building inspectors and pri

specific duties to perform in the mat

"Every interest of the nation de

safer means of attaining this end
than by using fire prevention meth

carelessness and encouraging the
cultivation of carefulness.

At noon today there had been no
definite reports received from any of
the outside towns In the county, but
rumors reaching the head office are
to the effect that in practically every

from State Chairman Corbett con

Of course I had to be one of the four

Ave feet at u time, ducking slur shells,
with strays cracking overhead, I

I could hear them talking In their
trench, my heart was pounding against
my ribs. One false move or the least

almost certain death.
After covering my sector I quietly

was missing, it was pilch dark. I
turned about: to see If I could find It;
it couldn't be far away, because about

The British are of wood, while the

A sharp challenge rang out. I
