For Sale at HUNTLEY'S WILL LESSEN COST C L'rune-Kroweri! IVint Cheaper Fire IiiHurance Kates. Prenent (liariff are Claimed to Exorbitant. May Form Mutual Company for Fire Protection. be At a meeting of prune grower! at 6a tern last week, ttia subject of securing ttiore satisfactory rates lor Are insurauce was under diaeuasion. It was the sense of the large number of growers in attend ance at the meeting; that the present charges that, are asked by the insurance companies are excessive. Before ad journing, the meeting appointed a com mittee to Investigate the feasibility of forming a mutual fire insurance com pany to be conducted aiong the tame line as is the tfutUiville Hop Growers' Association which furnishes the growers pioteetion at actual cost. "Although the idea originated in the Willamette Valley Prune Association, tbe mutual Insurance company, if formed, will not in any sense be connected with the association, but will be for all prone growers in Western Oregon and poaaibly in Washington also" says tbe Salem Statesman. "They will probably follow the lead of the Butteville tlop Growers Association, which has prored to be sucb a success. "The rates charged by old line insur ance companies on prone driers ar con sidered to be exorbitant, even tbe insur ance agents acknowledging this to be the case, and It is believed that a great many dollars can t; saved to the prune growers annually, by organizing for mutual Insurance. Ihe rates in force at present, and which have been paid by prune growers in the past, are on a 'IK cent basis for driers and contents, with an increase ol 20 per cent during the drying season. This makes the cost of insurance 12 60 on each $1000 insured, for one month, or the average period in which a drier ia operated, which is con sidered an exorbitant premium. Ihe Board of rire Underwriters of Salem, at a recent meeting, decided that the rates were too high, and decided to recommend to their several companies that the rates be reduced, but nothing has been done, and there ia no prospect of any relief being given, so tbe prune growers have decided to take the matter into their own bands. "Most of the driers are only insured during tbe drying season, but some groweis store their frull or other valu ables there during the winter, and these are compelled to carry insurance during the entire year, at the 2 cent basis, when there is no risk whatever, except from incendiary origin, as there is no fire in the huildiugs, and they are usually ou'.oweacb of other buildings. "Utlie new mutual eompany ia suc cessful, the aggregate value of the risks carried will amount to thousands of dol lars annually, and judging from the past the saving to the prune men will amount to thousands of dollars annually, as there is seldom a loss by fire in a prune drier. In Marion coumy alone there are about 150 prune driers which will be insured in tbe new company, and several other counties in the state would probably fur nish as much risk. ''At the meeting Saturday the subject of prices (or prunes was again taken up for general discussion, and it developed that some hastern companies were en deavoring to lower the basis of prices to be paid the Oregon prune growers for their 1903 crop. The pretext put up by these men is that thev have already bought several carloads of prunes on the coast on a -xi cent basis, whereas the price established by the Association is a 2?4 cent basis. So far as known, no prunes have been sold m Oregon at that low price, so the purchases must have been in California. The association is determined to uphold the price, for tbe present, at least. "As is well known, fifteen carloads of prunes have already been sold to some French dealers for export to France, on a 2,'4 cent basis; 4'j cents for 408-508, and a premium of . cent per pound on 30s-40. The association now has on file an order from Canadian dealers lor ten carloads of prunes on a 2hi cents basis, but as this is below the price agreed up on, it has not been accepted." THE EXCITEMENT C0MLMES. .More Gold Seekers Depart for the X lalla Mines. Excitement over the recent discoveries of gold on the upper Molalla, increases rather than diminishes. Claim after claim in the promising district has been located and many an anxious prospector is searching the adjoining regions for ev idences of mineral deposits. John Fair dough, one of the owners of the richest mining property in the newly discovered district, accompanied by U, W. Grace, Tlios. Scott and K. Lee Westover, of this city, left Saturday morning for the scene of the discovery. They were joined at Molalla by a company of about twenty interested prospectors and the entire southern section of the county will be thoroughly prospected. It has been years since so much excitement, appar ently so well grounded, over mining dis closures has existed in this county. SHOULD HATE ELECTED SEN ATOR. Derange They Did Not, President of Senate Did Not Receive a Gavel. Tbe failure of tbe Oregon state legisla ture In 1805 to elect a United States Sen ator prevented the presiding officer of the senate from receiving a gavel, that because of its materials was of rare his torical interest as pertaining to the state. Clark N. Greenman, a pioneer iesi dent of this city, was the maker of the gavel. The material from which tbe mallet was carved, consisted of a fir tim ber that was need in tbe building of the ball in Oregon City in which tbe state territorial legislature neia its Srst ani suo I sequent seaaioni. From a limb of tbe old- est apple tree in the state was selected the timber for the handle, and the pros pective gift was ths production of Mr. Ureenman's own handiwork. It was the intention of Mr. Greenman before the close of the session of tbe state legislature in 1895 to present the gavel to the president of tbe state senate but when the law maker wasted the en tire forty days' session and failed to elect I a United Stales Senator, he became so I disgusted with tbe farcial proceeding that he decided to make other disposi tion of tbe gift. It was presented to Head Consul Faullcenberg, of the Wood men of the World, who visited this state during the summer following tbe ad journment of the legislature and the donor has tbe satisfaction of the recip ient's assurance that of all tbe numer ous gifts received by himself during his tour of the Pacific Coast states, be prized the gavel more than any other one gift because of its great historical significance. HELD OP KIPE.1ISU KRAI. Trip to Wilholl Discloses Evidence Of Prosperity of All Farmers. It has been years since Clackamas county grain looked as rich and promis ing as it does this year. A representa tive of the Enterprise on Sunday enjoyed adnvstothecelehratedWilhoilSprings, tbe route penetrating one of tbe richest farming sections of the Willamette val ley. The scenery is grand for the en tire distance, but the panoramic view that is presented from tbe highest point of elevation en route, just before the Springs sre reached, is hard to suroase. From this point a general view is afford ed of the Willamette valley, with its acres of grain, fruit and hops. lbs crop of ostein Clackamas county will this year be remarkable. Several fields were passed in which the weight of tbe unusually large number of grains actually caused tbe stalks to bend badly.' It is estimated that many fields of this grain will this year go sixty bushels to the acre, while the average for the crop of tbe county will not fall short of fifty bushels. Wheat also promises well. The kernels are large and well matured and free from all vermin. The yield will not only be large but the quality will be the best. Cutting of grain is in progress, while one or two threshers in the Molalla district were in operation, the early grain being handled. The general appearance of the farm ing district of the county denotes an air of prosperity among the farmers. Neat homes decorate the majority of tbe farms, while the outbuildings are well built and kept in perfect condition. Stock of all kinds is thriving. As one finely improved farm after another was passed, the writer could not smother tbe wish that be was the owner and mana ger ol a farm equally as well improved and stocked. Sunday was a big day at WiVhoit, where several hundred families are en camped for their annual outing. Land lord McLeran reports that the season this year has been shorter than usual by reason of tbe coal, unseasonable weath er of July. The attendance at the Springs, however, is Dp to the average, while the Sunday tbrong ol visitors was exceptionally large. Saturday evening, the new dance ball was dedicated, the Aurora brass band furnishing the music for the dancing. Drinking soda water, bowling, eating and sleeping constitute the day s routine at this resort, which lor a quiet, restful place has not an equal. Among the Oregon City visitors to this resort Sunday were County Clerk Sleight and I). K. Diraiek and their fam ilies; C. E. Kamshv, C. Schram, M. D. Latourette, W. E. Marshall, J. W. Cochran. DIED AFTEK THE HONfcYMOOX. Sad Death of Mrs. Leena Ainslle At Corvallis Tuesday. A special to the Oregonian from Cor vallis Tuesday gives tbe following ac count of the sad death of Mrs. Leona Ainslie, who was well known in Oregon City: "Mrs. Leona Ainslie, who with her husband. Dr. George Ainslie, of Port land, recently returned from a bridal trip of four months in Europe, died this morning of peritonitis. The case was the subject of a surgical operation by Or. Mackenzie, of rortland, who came out from Portland for the purpose on a special train yesterday afternoon. He arrived at 6 o'clock and the operation was performed at 7. The patient ral lied slightly, but at two o'clock passed away. Mr. and Mrs. Ainslie were married in Corvallis on the 12th of March. They left the same day for Europe, returning about three weeks airo. Mrs. Ainslie was slightly indisposed after her arrival, and remained in Corvallis for a rest, while her husband returned to Portland. On Tuesday of last week Mrs. Ainslie came to the town home of her parents from the farm, complaining of illness. Dr. Ainslie was summoned Wednesday. Alarming symptoms, however, did not appear until yesterday morning, when after a consultation of local physicians, Dr. Ainslie summoned Dr. MacKenzie from Portland. 'Mrs. Ainslie was tbe yougest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, and was a graduate of tbe Oregon Agricultural College. She was 22 years of age." Hoy Cured of Colic Alter Physi cian's Treatment Had Failed. My boy when four years old was taken with colic and cramps in his stomach. I sent for the doctor and he injected mor phine, but the child kept getting worse. I then save him half a teaspoonful of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, and in half an hour be was sleeping and soon recovered. F. L. Wilkiss, Shell Lake, Wis.
