SALEM, Or., June 27. 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.

testimony as to the effectiveness and
hearty approval of his teachings
could be asked for than the large and

Dr. House will also lecture from

After a few years' prospecting in the

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.

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.
