I am in deed surprised to receive my check for $400.00 today, as I only sent you the final proof papers last Sat urday night, Sept. 19th. I certainly can and do heartily recommend the Continental Casu alty Company, and you as their district manager, to everyone who needs accident and health insur ance. Your company Justly de serves theexcellent reputation they have for prompt and liberal treat ment to all Its policy holders and I sincerely hope that you will con tinue to have success In your work In securing new policy holders in this territory and elsewhere. Again thanking you and your company, I beg to remain, Very sincerely yours, MRS. KATE TAYLOR, Eugene, Oregon.

Mrs. Sarah Anderson seems to have been the victim of a vile piece of de ception and fraud by having pnt too muoh confidence in a young man by the uanie oi William Martin, who has been in her employ for the past few months. Mis Anderson trusted Mar tin with her chock book with one check signed, hut not otherwise made out, with which to pay the Clear Creek Lumber Company for lumber. This olieck was paid, but it seems that while Martin had the check book in his possession he forged a check in his own favor to the amount of $376. Manin left, promising to return ; but failing to come back at the specified time suspicion was aroused, and by telephoning to the Bank of Oregon City the foregoing facts were found. Martin is 81 years of age and is a bright and intelligent appearing boy, on which account Mrs. Anderson is inclined to be lenient with him. .We sincerely hope tor her sake, for the bank, and for insnoe to the young man in his tutors career, that he can be found and made to answer for his misdeed.
