That the increane in fire Insurance rates In Portland, as announced in today's Oregonlan, is not made necessary by a lack of profits on Insurance busi ness in Oregon Is evident from the reports of the state Insurance com missioner. For the 12 years from 1890 to 1907. Inclusive, the net premiums collected by outside fire Insurance companies doing business in this atate amounted to $10,000,000. Ttiat is to say, taking in the aggregate of all the reports of all the foreign fire In surance companies for the 12 yearn it appears that, In round numbers the insurance companies collected from Oregon property owners $22.648. .ImO. paid losses to the amount of 17,83, 000, returned premiums to the am ount of $4,K5',4ii0, leaving a net amount taken out of the slate of $9,960,000. In this compilation there are In cluded a few companies that did oi- ly a small amount of business and sustained heavy losses, which made a balance for them on the wrong side of the ledger. The net .iroflu as shown by the. reports, and iion which taxes were paid, amounted to $10,173,600. In other words,' the people of Oregon sent away ever $22,600,000 and got back $1?,-J0J.- 000 In 12 years. Nor do the reports of the insur ance companies In recent years show that business is any less profitn'.i. for them now than it has been tor t lerlod of 12 years past. Iast year the gross premiums collected amount ed to almost $3,000,000. The loMe paid were only $78,000, the prem iums returned $744,000 and the i.et premiums $1,450,000. The peori paid out last year $2 for every do!!nr they got back on fire insurance. Tie figures for 12 years show practical!. the same proportion. lilt. HOI SK fOMIM. AGAIN'.

Wash., again takes his place at the head of the bible study work held under the auspices of the Chautauqua. This is the third sea son that Dr. House has passed at the Southern Oregon Chautauqua assem bly, and he has a very large circle of friends and enthusiastic admirers in this section, who have enjoyed and profited by his class work and popu lar Bible addresses. No stronger testimony as to the effectiveness and hearty approval of his teachings could be asked for than the large and ever-Increasing groups of men and women who gathered at the morn Ing hour for this study of the Bible. Dr. House will also lecture from the platlorm once during the assem bly. His subject, "Forces That Win," under his treatment, mill prove most interesting. Three Drovtunl. I i MAXKATO. Minn., June 26.

He mined In this vicinity for two years and then went into California. After a few years' prospecting in the southern state he returned to Jack sonville, where he was for several years connected with mining enter prises. Mr. Schultz leaves a host of friends to mourn the loss of one who has la bored strenuously for the betterment and upbuilding of the city. During the early settlement of this country, when the Indian was on tlie alert for an opportunity to assault the white settler, Mr. Schultz was ever ready to defend home and country.

New Hilling Regarding Kit trance to Normal Mi-hooU, SALKM. Or.. Jaine 26. That the entrance requirements of all the nor mal schools of the state be raised so that students must have an eduru tion equal to the ninth grade in high schools before entering a normal. Is one f the most important recom mendations the board of normai school visitors has just made to i .c governor. The adoption of this rec ommendation would be equal to ad vancing the standaid of the nor nails by one year. Another Important recommenda tion made by the board Is that grad uates of high schools be admitted to advanced standing In normals pro portionate with the work they havo done In the secondary school sub jects. This would give high school students credit for all their hich school work and leave them, chiefly the professional studies and training department work to do In the nor mal. Perhaps more important than the recommendations made by the board is a report as to the efficiency of the instructors. In this respect this board has done what has probably never been done before in Oregon has made a personal, fearless and ap parently Impartial report as to each teacher. This report will enable the board of regents to weed out the in structors who are not doing good work and to re-elect those who are. MMHi;itl; THK HOUSKS FOB FRKK DKMVKKY D. K.

Leiand Lumber Co. Lsland, Oregon CINNAMON I IK A It I.AItS HIS PATHWAY Driver from Ahlaiul Arrow Cji cmlcn Interrupted by Big Bruin. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. June 2fi. As a peddler from Ashland named Yeo was crossing the Cascades a few days ago with his two-horse team, on the old Jennie creek road, through the heavy pine timber, a very large brown bear, probably of the cinnamon variety, suddenly came Into the road a few rods ahead of him, and seeing the team, roue up suddenly and faced him awhile, with his hair on end. then slowly with drew Into the dense woods, leaving Mr. Yeo to struggle for several min ute with a badly scared team. Otd- Mmcrs here have had a good deal of experience with bruin In that same old forest In past years, for It was long the resort of all kinds of bears known to Southern Oregon woods, not excluding the powerful grizzly and the almost as powerful cinna mon, who was credited with one dis concerting trait that the griutiy did not himself possess that of follow ing the hunter through the woods, himself becoming the aggressor. If Mr. Yeo's vision was normal while he faced the bear It would anvear that this must have been a specimen of the dreaded cinnamon still extant near a road that has been traveled for half a century.
