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."
