His
MANY SPEECHES OVER STATE
One Thouimnd Two Hundred Thirty
Four Fires Ilcporte'd In Xcliroika
During the Venr nnd Losses
I,ru Thnn Million.
(From, a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec. 21. (Speclal.)-In his
report to the governor Fire Commissioner
Charles L. Randall pays considerable at
tcntloh to the loss .sustulned by fires and
the falling off of the number since he
took control of the office. He pays the
volunteer firemen a rttong tribute' and
urges that a law be parsed at the coming
session of the legislature which enable
towns and villages to equip their local
departments with up-to-date fire fighting
apparatus.
in the Interest of carrying on a cam
palffn-ofcducattont the report shows'that
Commlstloner . IUukJuII-Iuu delivered nd
dreSsca t6'ovcr "0,000 school children nnd
30,000 business men over the state. He
has sent out over 500.0W bulletins and
cards aitd lover 100,000 of his lucent '"No
braska ire Scout" enrollment curds.
Ho pays a tribute to the press of the
state, which has assisted In the cam
paign of education for fire precaution by
publishing his monthly bulletins. Ho says
that the legislature should provide a suit
able amount so that these papers could
be paid for the space taken in the work.
Jast year tho loss of property on ac
count of Fourth of July conflagrations
was J23T.,OO0, but this year the loss was
only J7.100.
He calls attention to the great danger
from gasoline, not only from Its fire
starting qualities, but from the danger
to those who may bo called to" fight a
flro where gasolluo Is burning. He says
that he has known the fumes of burn
ing gasoline to penetrate through the air
fifty feet and do gTcat damage. notonly
to property, but to life. Some of tho ftost
seVere teases or burning has been from
the Inhaling of gasoline "9m a fire. This
can be communicated fifty vfeet or more
under conditions which are apt to exist
at most any flro where gasoline Is burn
ing. During the 'last year 1.S3I fires were re
ported to tho fire commissioner. Lost
year there were 1,348. Tho value of the
buildings on fire was ,$11,373.24.38. Tho
fire loss was tSS9,0X40, about per cent
of value The value of ttjc contents of
these buildings was J6.1GS.337.54. The loss
waa Il,314,656.!, about 2iVs per cent. Tho
difference between the value of the build
ings and their contents and the damago
was tl5,3S8,056.69, 'and volunteer firemen
of thastate should be given credit tor
the saving of this vaat amount of wealth.

In speaking of the double shift for fire
men, Mr.- Randall says:' '"One of the
pleaant memories of my acts when In
the senate Is that I used my Influence and
vote to bring about the double shift of
firemen In the city of Omaha and I wish
it were possible to have the some condi
tions In other cities."
Lgislators May
Ask Supreme Court
to Pass on Salaries
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN", Dec. 21. (Special.) The pub
llcatloiHn The Bee Saturday morning that
the members of tho coming legislature
might find it difficult to draw the In
crease In salary proscribed In the con
rtttutlonaf amendment voted on at the
last election nnd proclaimed by Governor
Aldrlch U3 adopted, has stirred up not
only the members of the legislature, but
has been the cause of a great deal of
discussion around the state house.
J. F. llagerty of Par-gent, who will rep
resent Custer county In tho house of
representatives, was In the city today,
and when his attention was called to the
matter suld that ho had never thought at
any time that the constitutional amend
ment relating to an Increase In salary
for members of the legislature applied to
the coming session. He thought tint tho
old law still held good and that the mem
bers could "not draw more than the $5
per day.
State Auditor-elect W. II. Howard had
returned to Omaha yesterday when the
matter was brought to the attention of
the auditor's office, but W. L. Minor,
who will probably bo the new deputy, said
this morning that there would bo nothing
doing on the S10 a day proposition for
members of the legislature until the mat
ter was settled by tho proper- authority.
"Jt looks, to mo," said he, "that whllu tho
Intention' of the law was that the amend
ment should go Into effect at this time,
the law plainly says otherwise."
John S. Jlclgren, another new man In
the auditor's office after the new auditor
takes, hold, was of the opinion that tho
matter would have to bo settled by the
courts before warrants would be drawn
by the auditor.
In his report to the legislature of the
amount necessary to run 3 legislature.
Auditor llarton maUfa his estimate on
the old law and does not Include in the
estlmato for legislative salaries tho
mount called for In the amendment to
the constitution.
It looks' at this tlmo that before mem
bers of the next resMon will bo able to
draw more than t5 a day that tho matter
will have to be submitted to the supreme
court and an opinion handed down before
they can see tho color of the state's
money.

throughout the state, W. O. Hendricks
of Omaha, state dairy Inspector, was at
the office of Food luspvctor Hansen this
morning and was exhibiting some of the
exhibits used by him In carrytng on the
work. In a test made for one year In
Douglas county Mr. Hendricks showed
that the beat cow produces In one year
1,797 pounds of butter fat, and the lowest,
1,373. The percentage of profit on tho
best cow was 1417 on each Investment
of 1 for feed, while tho lowest was only
Kl cents for the samo amount Invested.
Tho ten most profitable cows produced
1,032 pounds of butter fat, which brought
thq owner an average of $57.82 per cow.
Tho best three producers or butter in
the country, according to Mr. Hendricks,
are a Holsteln cow, wmcn prouueeu m
one year 90S pounds of butter fat. She
wns closely followed by a Jersey cow,
which produced 952 pounds of butter fat.
A Guernsey heifer. S years old, raised In
Nebraska and now the property of tho
state farm, produced 928 pounds of butter
fat during the year. Tills heifer was
orlslnally sold by tho man who raised
her for $45.
"Had that man known what he should
have known, or had ho taken the trouble
to educate himself along tho lines which
we are trying to Instill Into the minds
of tho farmors of the state, ho would
have discovered the true worth of that
Guernsey heifer and It would have taken
