A fow who lmvo recently had their wiring ovorhauled havo had their insurance materially reduced. "Instead of working with mo to have the wiring put In good shape and thereby reducing the amount of insurance, tho ownors of the prop erty will have to pay, I find some of the Insuranco ngents are opposing the Idea." said Inspector Trlbbey today. "Evidently they dislike tho Wea of having their commission cut, their pay for writing tho policies be ting fifteen per cent of tho premium. I nra sure they are wrong becauso If the Insurance rate was reduced ugn better wiring and pther ranges, a lot of people who do not crry any Insuranco now on account ' the high rato would carry Insur ance at lower rates."

Mnurlco Zuckerman, head of a largo produce houso and formerly South ern California agent for Georgo Shi ma, the Japancso "potato king," has gone lu for tho spud monarchy on his own account nnd apparently has Shlma fairly deposed. Potatoes cost halt as much again as they did a year ago, becauso of last year's general shortage Zucker man foresaw, apparently, boforo Shl ma, that there would bo a conse quent shortage this season, and be gan "cornering" six months ago. Zuckerman Invaded Shlma's terri tory, buying all tho river and high land stock ho could get and simply Then ho sont agents to Idaho, tho next source of supply, ty ing up practically tho whole crop. Other producing sections, Including Oregon, woro not overlooked. Now tho effect is felt. Tho "now king" is holding all his San Joaquin potatoes for tho San Francisco market nnd supplying tho South from Idaho. Produce men here find it impossible to get rivers or highlands. Prices aro going up al most dally. Zuckerman, being a wise monarch, Is not trying to renllze all at once, nor heading back to squeeze prices to tho top notch, but letting out enough to meet the demnnds fairly and keep away Colorado and other distant po tatoes. His holdings aro known to bo enormous, a third greater, Indeed, than Shlma wns over able to control, and he will make a fortune If nothing Interferes. Jobbers say prices will Increase $1 a hundred pounds before April. LAMP DPSET CAUSES ALARM Salvation Army Worker En dangers Old Barracks Build ing Last Night.

Thus, tho men who havo looked Into tho mnttcr flguro It would tnko ono dredgo of tho slzo of tho dredgo Oregon eight or ten yenrs to do tho dredging proposed by tho Port Commission too long n tlmo, tlioy consider. Dy getting threo other lnrgo dredges working with tho Oregon, tho work could bo accomplished In nbotit two years or In tlmo so thnt It could bo shown to Congress thnt tho Interior hnrbor was far ahead of tho bar and thus furnish pressuro for securing nn- othor appropriation at tho next ses sion of congress. Mnjor Morrow during his visit hero last weok Intlmnted thnt ho hoped to contract with anothor dredgo to como hero and work with tho dredgo Oregon on tho prcsont government appropriation for tho Interior harbor. Tho total appropria tion by tho govornmont for tho In terior harbor, including tho ono now proposed, is $90,000, of which somo hns been spent by tho operation of tho dredgo Oregon slnco It camo horo tho last tlmo. Morrow on Dnr Dredge. Major Morrow is now quoted by local peoplo as having stated con corning tho bar Improvement thnt if ho hnd tho mnttcr to do from tho start, ho would not havo recommend od tho bar dredgo for Coos Day but would havo recommonded tho re storation of tho north Jetty first. However, ho Is snld to havo declared, that as tho bar dredge hnd been proposed, had been Indorsed by tho engineers at Washington nnd hnd been provided., for by congress, it wns going to bo tried out regardless of vlows that others hold. If It does not succeed nlone, ho mndo It plain, It Is said, that tho appropria tion for tho restoration of tho north Jetty would bo hastened and that It was cortnln that tho bar dredgo would bo valuable for tho mainte nance of (he bnr, by removing tho shoals that will form from tlmo to time. It Is said that Major Morrow is In favor of tho plan of having tho dred ging of tho Inner harbor and channel hnstened by contracting with a num ber of dredges to do It quickly, be ing sure that this will Insure tho onrllor realization of further govern ment nld for tho bar and hnrbor work.
