In July the newspapers of the Pacific coast called attention to the reported discovery by Captain Bell, of the steamer A. B. Field, ol an important bank eight miles ofFNestucca, Or., where he took large numbers of cod of an excellent quality. The entire region was ex plored by the fish commission's steam er, Albatross, during September, and the official report of Captain Tanner, just recived, disproves the existence of such a bank anywhere in this im mediate "vicinity. A depth of fifteen fathoms was found about a mile off along this part of the coast while at a distance of eight miles front the shore depths of from sixty eight to eighty five fathoms occur. The water deepens regularly from the shore outward, and the bottom consists mainly of fine sand, characteristic of Oregon and Washington. No cod was found by the Albatross in this region.

La Grande must be a poker town judging from the following in a local paper. Stud poker is one of the pop ular games of eastern Oregon, and it would be difficult to strike a town where such a game is not played. The gang has been hitting the thing pretty hard in La Grande the past week, but behind closed doors. One set of high rollers stuck to their chairs forty-eight hours, and several dollars changed hands. Betting must have been lively for as high as $350 was staked on jack high, and the call was made by the man. who ha.d. king high. Tho Pendleton East Oregonian says: Agent Moorehouse had in his possession last evening a goodly ''sack." containing about $4,000 with which to pay the qnarterly salaries of the agency employes.- Uncle Sam spends about $50,000 annually on the Uma tilla Indians gives them laud; buys their plows, seeders, threshers; hires an agent, carpenter doctor, black smith, etc., for their benefit; supports a school for the education of their young, an4 tjoes evgrytbg"in h,js power tq make them comfortable.

R. Clinton, alias Perry, who has just been sentenced to the penitentiaryfor two years, first went to East Portland before he went the Portland, and was attached to the Vindicator in the capacity of advertising solicitor, and by his smooth address was very suc cessful; but when . to gamblers made their appearance in East Portland he at once became their tool iu an at tempt to keep out of the papers all reference to them. Before the gam blers were driven out of a saloon on L street, Clinton offered a reporter a large sum of money "to leave them alone." When Brown started his gambling hall on L street, a few "shots" in the papers brought Clinton to the surface as an emisary from Brown. His marriage of Miss Zim merman was the crowning act of in famy in East Portland. When the weddini? dav was set tho first Km p.

The convict's wife, living on her father's ranch, about fourteen miles from Portland gave birth to a child three days ago, and now it is said that she is dying. THE UNHOLY INSURANCE COMPACT. Some San Francisco Press Comment. The local insurance war continues. The Eastern Mutual or Armstrong agency is doing a good business, cut ting "Insurance Union rates 40 per cent. The union managers met yes terday and by a vote of 39 to 11 de cided to admit the fighting companie.3 under certain conditions, but the local agent of the Armstrong companies says it is now too late for such action. This war may result in breaking up the insurance union. S. F. Bulletin, 2. The action of the Armstrong Mu tual Insurance companies in making a cut of 40 per cent, on insurance rates, because they were refused admission to the Pacinc Insurance Union, may result in the breaking up of the com pact. About one-half of the members of the compact say they will go out if the Mutual companies are not ad mitted, and the other half will go out if they are admitted. In the meantime the Mutual Com bination is doing a large business on the basis of the 40 per cent. cut. Many merchants have cancelled their policies in other companies and have insured with the war-making firm. Yesterday the agency in this citv was kept busy attending to applications from merchants who wanted their premises examined for insurance. 8. F. Alia, 2. "Since our advertisement appeared." saysMr. Van Slyke,-onr clerical force has been driven night and day writing politics. When people find that they can get insurance at 40 per cent, be low current rates in good solid com panies, with a chance to participate in the profits, it is not surprising, that they want to avail themselves of the opportunity. Added to the reduction we offer another advantage which is appreciated in large business houses. Where automatic sprinklers are intro duced we give a rebate of 25 per cent, on our rates." "I give the compact thirty days' more of life," said an insurance man to a Chronicle reporter. It is bound to go to pieces. There aie so many di vergent interests that it is impossible to hold them together much longer. The manager of one company says that if the Armstrong companies are not admitted his people will withdraw. Another manager says if they are ad. mitted his company will draw out at onoo, So you see it is ouly a question of time before the concern goes to pieces. It will be hard on the insur ance brokers, but it can't be helped," -S.F. Chronicle, 2. The Pacific Insurance Union is threatened with enemies without, and dissensions within, that bid fair to break the compact before long. The worst feature of the whole matter, if the current street talk of insurance men can be relied on, is that the gen eral manager, deeming himself all sufficient to engineer the business, has not heeded the explicit instructions of the board of managers, and through his arbitrary action has brought the Union into its present trouble. The Armstrong combination has already declared war on the compact, and it is stated the Commercial Union Assur ance Co,, has given the usual custom ary thirty days notice of withdrawal, unless certain modifications are made in the constitution. There are sev eral companies here that would glad ly swell the ranks of the opposition did opportunity offer. As one gener al manager expressed himself, "The compact as originally conducted was eminently satisfactory, but when in structions are issued to me from head quarters on Saturday, that I must change my shirt on Sunday, and pre scribes the clothes I must wear the ensuing week, I feel the compact is going too far."
