The Following Warning is Sent Out
by the State Insurance Depart
ment.
A large number of lives were lost by
the explosion of a 250-barrel tank car
of gasoline near the Santa Fe freight
offices in Ardmore, Okla. Occuring in
the afternoon of September 27, the ex
plosion shook down many buildings
and threw burning gasoline in every
direction. By 6:30 p. m., the fires were
under control. The property damage
is estimated at $500,000. It was ne
cessary to place the city under martial
law, owing to the excitement caused.
A spark from a hammer is said1 to
have caused the explosion, as two
workmen were repairing the leaking
tank car. Both were killed.
"It is safer to handle dynamite than
it is to keep gasoline or benzine in a
dwelling house or factory," said
Albert Gasser, chief of the Bureau of
Combustibles of Newark, N. J., in
Safety Engineering for August. These
inflammable fluids are equally danger
ous, whenever handled or stored, un
less handled properly. "The vapor of
benzine and gasoline is not visible or
dinarily, and herein lies the danger."
Captain Gasser added. "If it were a
cloud of dust you could see it and get
out of the way but it is a part of the
very atmosphere and you cannot see
it. Depend upon it, however, the vapor
•is all about you, a danger which
threatens death, although an invisible
agent."
Charles E. Worthington, of Boston,
discussing the dangers of gasoline, in
Safety Engeering for September, ob
served: "It is in the 'migrating' qual
ity that the greatest hazard of gaso
line or naphtha lies. Most explos
ives require fire to be brought to
them, but naphtha searches out the
1
fire. It will run in a stream along
[the ground, follow down a stairway,
seek out a crack in a floor at a con
I siderable distance, and finding the fire
flash it back until it reaches the point
where the mixture of air and vapor
is explosive (that point always exists
somewhere) and ignite the vapor up
on the surface (the equivalent of ig
niting the material.) Instances are
very numerous of this occurring at
distances exceeding 50 feet, in many
cases approximating 300 feet and as
concerns those under 50 feet, almost
innumerable."
"Gasoline and naphtha can be made
less dangerous for household use if
the following six rules are observed,"
says Robert W. Hargadine, State Fire
Marshal:
1. Never keep gasoline or naphtha
in a glass bottle or other breakable
container.
2. Never keep it near a fire or in a
warm place.
3. Never rub any article in gaso
line or naphtha because these pro
ducts are easily electrified. An excep
tion to this rule may be made in clean
ing kid gloves stretched upon the
hands, providing the rubbing is not
done in the fluid, and is done in the
open air.
4. Never press or iron goods that
have been cleaned with gasoline or
naphtha until they are thoroughly
dried in the open air.

COLFAX.
Colfax, Oct. 18—Miss Evelyn Evans
who is teaching in Dist. No. 22, vis
ited with her folks over Sunday.
Miss Anna Aune went to Minneap
olis Friday to visit with relatives. She
returned Sunday night.
5. Never sprinkle gasoline or naph
tha about the edges of carpets or rugs
to kill moths.
I 6. Never keep a supply of gasoline
or naphtha in the cellar where the
vapor from a possible leak might ac
cumulate, but if it is absolutely neces
sary to keep the product in the house
place the container on a shelf at least
four feet from the ground.
I The observance of these simple
rules will eliminate the hazards of
handling these extremely inflammable
products in the household, and none
is expensive, onerous or impractical.

DALMAS STARTS ON TRIP
Writes a Letter From New York on
Eve of Departure Over At*
lantic Ocean.
(Translated).
New York, Oct. 15, 1915.
Editor Willmar Tribune:
Never before have my thoughts been
so pressed with the truth of what I
have written and sung in times past.
Now, first do I realize the full mean
ing of "Vi alska dig Lake Lillian, Vart
hem vi dar ha fatt," and again, "Har
man goda grannar har, ar ej radd
hvartan man far," etc. A feeling akin
to sadness possessed us this time as
we left our little unassuming home
still happy with the thought of coming
back again' without needing to fear
that the mortgage collector would
stand at the entrance of our paradise
with his flaming sword.
On Tuesday at Minneapolis I util
ized some time I had to visit the sec
ond time the art gallery of millionaire
T. B. Walker. I rang the bell and we
were admitted. Inside everything is
quiet and peaceful. No rushing or
crowding. As one passes from room
to room one will meet a few persons
now and then. All move so quietly
as were they spirits from another
world, absorbed in the art of the mas
ters and storing it all in the memory-
Wednesday evening we left Minne
apolis for Scandinavia. We were 32 in
the company of tourists, and had a
special car from Minneapolis to New
York. The members of our company
varied in age from 17 to 74 years, and
in the time of their residence in this
country from one-half to 42 years.
The time is spent in various ways. A
poorly handled accordion almost took
my life. If there is anything I detest
it is poor music. What did I do? Well,
I sat and dreamed of past times, of
the present and speculated upon the
future. Once in a while I took a look
out of the window for straw and hay
stacks, or automobiles, and must say
they were scarcer than flies in No
vember. I saw only a dozen in the
country and only three in use. I tell
you brother farmers, the automobile
seems to run well in the track of the
wild-oats. I saw three small silos be
tween Chicago and New York.
Turning from the past to the future,
we have a feeling that all will be well
on our trip over the ocean. I just
talked with a woman who has arrived
from Norway. She promised me that
the English are lying outside of Ho
boken waiting for a chance to "syna
oss sommarna." What should I say
about such insolence? If all goes well
I will relate all about it in next letter,
what transpires when Dalmas meets
the English. I believe I will sing for
them, "Kom fattigdom och hang dig
pa."
These lines are written at the Swed
ish Lutheran Immigrant Home at No.
5 Water Street.
