FORESTALL WINTER
FIRE MENACE.
The following editorial from the
Fairbanks News-Miner on fire
prevention is very timely at this
period of the year, and is reprint
ed in the hope that Nomeites will
follow suit and that our recently
organized fire department will
take a hand to see that some such
proceedure is carried out in Nome
and thus make this town a better
and safer place to spend the win
ter. The article follows:
“Within a few days winter will
crack down on Fairbanks. Heat
ing apparatus will be put to the
test.
"Old and neglected flues and
chimneys will become potential
factors of destruction.
“The man who values his pro
perty and his hard-earned sav
ings will take every means at
this particular season to grasp at
every safeguard.
“The simplest way is to over
haul all heating plants, flues,
chimneys and other apparatus.
Also clear out all rubbish that
may become a source of fires.
“And don't neglect to remove
barriers that wll prevent the fire
brigade having easy access to
buildings.
Fire Chief E. B. Woodcox and
assistants have been making in
spections of chimneys, heating
equipment and the like the last
few days. Good work this, but
the inspectors cannot do all. They
must have co-operation.
Fire insurance rates go down in
proportion to precaution and elirn
ination of risks.
! It is money direct into the pock
ets of the property holder every
time he makes it possible to get
the lowest possible insurance
rates. ,
“Negligence is the great evil to
overcome. Don’t be among the
procrastinators. Put your prem
ises in order. Do it before win
ter clamps down."
-.
With pirates prowling in the
Mediterranean and international
robbers stealing China, the world '
seems to be in the midst of a i
crime wave.
A congressman standing around
with a fragment of tom coattail,
in his hand may be a feature of
next year's campaign.

think it mattered much.
