STATUS OF
SOGETY
Supplementary Report Made
on the Equitable
LOANS ARE WELL PLACED
In the Investigation Into blatters
to Establish Title to Securities
It Was Necessary to Refer
to Outside Sources.
ALBANY, N. T., Nov. C Francis Hen
dricks, State Superintendent of Insur
ance, today made public a supplementary
report by TL H. Hunter, deputy Superin
tendent of Insurance, and Chief Exam
iner Isaac Vanderpool on the condition of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society of
the Tnited States, at the close oi busi
ness on June 30, 1903.
The report first discusses the real estate
of the society, and places the value of
its office buildings in various cities at
$26,366,866, or S4,99S,C34 less than the sum
at -which they are carried on the books
of the society. It is explained by the re
port that this reduction Is made on the
basis of the earnings of the buildings,
-which yield 3 per cent on $26,366,366. To
the book value of real estate the com
pany has acquired, tinder foreclosure, the
report adds $23,789, making the total es
timated value of such real estate $4,664,
560. Of the loans on bonds and mortgages
dhe report says they represent $83,721,222
and have an average earning of more
than 4 per cont, and "'at no period of
the society's existence has this class of
Investment been in a more satisfactory
condition."
The loans made by the company on the
.security of policies assigned as collateral
amount to $25,865,890.50, according to the
report, and the bonds and stocks owned
by the society have a par value of $195,
900,567, as gainst a book value of $219,
430,408 and a current market value on
June 10. 1903, of $232,565,562.
Cash on deposit at the close of business
June 30, 1905. aggregated $29,879,553. Of
this amount $8,822,320 was on deposit with
the Equitable Trust Company and $5,453,
919 with the National Bank of Commerce
in New York.
Discussing the debit balances of agents,
which are assigned to trust companies
and aggregate $5,813,185, the roport states
that they are not considered as admitted
assets and are deducted from the cash
on deposit, bringing the amount down to
$24,066,368.
The report discussed at length a pay
ment of $600,000 in the form of a check,
drawn by the society to the Mercantile
Trust Company and dated February 4,
3904. As the books of the society did not
show the consideration for this chock,
the report says, It was necessary for the
examiners to consult with the superin
tendent of banks and look into the ac
counts of the Trust Company.
The record of the society showed that
the account involving the $600,000 check
was closed to profit and loss on the so
ciety's books on December 1, 1904, and it
was learned that the Trust Company
credited on the G. "V. Truner loan "most
of the money realized from this chock."
As this transaction and other transac
tions between the Equitable and the
trust companies do not appear on the
society's books, the report states that the
collaterals for such loans are not In
cluded in the report as an asset, nor are
the society's guarantees In such trans
actions charged against it as a liability.
Of the societjVs records the report has
this to say:
"In the investigation of other matters
where it became necessary to establish
the title of certain securities of which
the society was at least the custodian,
the Incomplete and desultory nature of
the voucher records or authorizations in
writing from the book entries connected
with these transactions ordered to be
made, were so baffling as to render it
practically impossible to ascertain the
status of these securities as to ownership,
until recourse was had to sources en
tirely independent of the books or rec
crds of the society."
Computing the assets of the society
after making deductions noted, the re
port states that the admitted assets are
$406,073,063 and the total liabilities are es
timated at the same -amount,In arriving
at the total of the liabilities, the total
reserve, which includes the present value
of all outstanding policies and annuities,
is estimated at $338,886,123 and the reserve,
for assigned surplus funds is placed at
$62,008,624.68. '
A table of interest rates shows that
the society realized the following rates
on its assets in 1904: On bonds and mort
gages, 4,28 per cent; on stocks and bonds,
4.37; rent, rate on mean real estate, 2,27;
interest rate on mean net assets, 4.33.
Paul Morton at "White House.
"WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. Paul Mor
ton, president of the Equitable Life As
surance Company, tonight called at the
White Houso and spent an hour with
the President The object of the call
was not made public, although it was
surmised that the President desired in
formation on the insurance situation.
Mr. Morton left the White House in
time to take the midnight train to re
turn to New York.
SIZE OF IRRIGATED FARMS
Eighty Acres the Size "Where Hay Is
Principal Crop.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Nov. 5. One of the most Impor
tant problems arising in the administra
tion of the reclamation act is the deter
mination of the size of farm units on the
projects that are under construction by
the Government. The law provides that
the land to be irrigated shall be subject
to entry in tracts of not less than 40. nor
more than 160 acres. As the intention of
the law is to provide a homestead suffi
cient to support a family. It is necessary
to carefully examine the conditions that
will confront the settlers upon those
areas.
While the size of a farm unit will de
pend to a certain degree upon local con
ditions, there arc some general consider
ations that are of great Importance, and
must be taken into account. Not only
must the character of the soil bo a cri
terion, but weight must bo given to the
character of the settler and his opportu
nities for making a livelihood. It is not
enough to say that the irrigated farms
should be limited to the size of those in
particular areas where agriculture Is
highly developed, and where the farmers
have acquired an unusual amount of skill
and experience. The determination of the
farm unit must depend on the results to
be obtained by the average farmer. The
unit, should be of such size that wasteful
or slothful methods of agriculture will
not be encouraged, but account should be
taken of the capabilities of the men who
are going to jettle upon these lands. In
short, the size of the unit should result
in the most advantageous development of
the agricultural and industrial resources
of the country.
The size of an irrigated farm depends
upon the crops which may be grown upon
It. which in turn are governed by the
climate, soil, -water supply, transporta
tion facilities, the character of the sur
rounding country, and, most important
of all, upon the class of farmers on the
land. Forty acres of land properly han
dled are probably sufficient for the sup
port of a family In any part of the
West, provided the head of the family
possesses the requisite knowledge, skill
and Industry" to mako the land produce
its best crops every year. The average
American farmer, however, is apt to lack
one of these three requisite?, particularly
when entering a new country. He roust
spend several years learning how to farm,
and meanwhile he is obliged to make a
living from a kind of agriculture that is
not so profitable as that he will pursue
five years later. Furthermore, to make
40 acres support a family, the land must
have been under cultivation several years
and in the best possible tilth.
Most of the reclamation projects are
at considerable distance from centers of
population and established markets. In
such cases the farmer will find difficulty
In opening a new market for his products,
and it is likely that during the first years
of his residence he will receive minimum
prices for his crops. As practically all
the Irrigation works will be completed by
tho time ho commences to harvest his
crops, there will be no sale for hay and
grain to contractors.
Most of the projects that are at a dis
tance from the center of population are
In the midst of large stock ranges. There
is a ready sale for hay and feed, which
during tho first years of settlement will
probably be raised easier than any other
crop. The tendency will be to plant al
falfa. If the settler Is a good farmer, he
may in the first three years average six
tons per acre per year. If he has 35
acres in alfalfa, ho will produce 210 tons
per year, and at H per ton will realize
$340. The cost of putting up this hay
will certainly bo 50 cents per ton, or

$103, and the paymont of his wator right
will be $120. This will leave $615 to sup
port his family for a year, which may be
considered ample.
The above results will be achieved un
der the very best conditions. If the set
tler is not a most experienced irrigator,
but is only an average man, his return
will not be near so great. The first year
he may not get all of the 35 acres seeded,
or he may lose a part of his stand. For
the first three yoars he may average vonIy
3& tons on his 35 acres, which gives him
a yield of 1226 tons. From this he may
realize $400; he must pay $62 for harvest
ing and $130 for water right, and will have
left $30S to support his family. Had this
man CO acres of land, he would have
been able to put in a larger acreage, and
with due diligence the Increase on this
second 40 acres would have equaled that
on his first 40 acres, giving him at the
end of the year $50D for the support of
his family.
Tho feeding of hay to stock generally is
more profitable than selling1 it, and this
method has the advantage of returning
to the land valuable plant food. For this
reason, . many farmers when sailing hay
contract to feed it on their farms at tho
going price. The farmer who has only
40 acres loses this opportunity, as he has
neither the quantity of hay nor the room
to make such an undertaking successful.
Many Intelligent farmers claim that a
man cannot profitably raise stock on from
32 to 35 acres of available land on a 40
acre farm, and this la rarely done where
outside range or other pasture Is not
available. At present large cattle and
sheep companies control most of the
range. Thus with his hay crop as his
principal asset, and the necessity for
prompt sale at the end of the crop year,
the 40-acro farmer Is very much at the
mercy of the stockman of large interests.
This condition Is very likely to confront
the farmer during his first four or five
years when he is limited to" one crop,
and when his struggle is the hardest and
ready money is most needed.
The agriculture of such projects will
some day be entirely changed, and in all
probability sugar beet And fruitgrowing
may become important and mako 40 acres
or smaller farms desirable. Jntll that
time comes, conditions as they evlst must
be dealt with, as it is not possible to
change in a short time the kind of agri
culture being carried on in any district.
Fruitgrowing cannot be made successful
in a valley where the stock business is
predominant, nor can dairying be carried
on in a region where fruitgrowing has
been the principal industry for a long
time. These changes are, of course, pos
sible, and will in many cases take place,
but the process is slow.
The critical period in the history of
each irrigation scheme comes In the early
years of its operation. Failures by farm
ers are then common, and there is no
ground for believing that farmers taking
land under Government projects will be
abler than those who have heretofore in
habited the "West During the first years
methods of agriculture will be crude, low
priced products will be produced, and. In
consequence a larger acreage will be
needed for the support of a family than
later in the history of tho region. These
first few years are going to be the crit
ical ones. If the farm units are made
too small and the settlers are unable to
pay the charges for the water and the
lands, not only will future work be ham
pered because the money has not been
returned to the reclamation fund, but the
main purpose of the law, the settlement
of tho West, will bo prevented. Instead
of prosperous farms and a contented set
tlement, there will be seen dismal, aban
doned homesteads, eloquent of failure and
despair.
In a district where fruitgrowing will be
the principal crop, tho unit may safely
be limited to 40 acres, but under the proj
ects that are romoved from established
markets and from centers of population,
the best policy will probably bo to make
tho farm unit SO acres.

ASTORIA. Nov. .(Special.) No trace
has yet been found of Captain J. P. Han
sen, of the barkentine Geo. C Perkins,
and today men were dragging the river
near the- wharf where he was supposed
to havo fallen overboard, but without
success. There ls every reason -to be
lieve, however, that Captain Hansen was
drowned and tho owners of the vessel
have been so notified.
Captain Hansen was a native of Den
mark, about 50 years of age. and has
been connccctd with shipping on the
Coast for a number of years. He was
master of the Alaska Fishermen's Pack
ing Company steamer North Star for
one season and since then has been run
ning on coasters out of San Francisco.
He left a widow who accompanied him
to the Columbia River on this trip, and
one daughter who is attending' the Anna
Wright Seminary at Tacoma.

The Adolf will complete her cargo on
Wednesday, but owing to having 10 lay.
days remaining will probably not sail
before the end of the week.
Tho Nlcomedla finished discharging her
cargo at Alaska dock yesterday and will
go to the flour mills this morning. ' From
there she will be brought to the O. As C.
dock tomorrow night.
Tho steamer Abergeldle will shift from
Montgomery No. 2 to Irving dock to
night. She will take on 10 tons of
grain at the latter dock and then go-to

PAST FOUR "WEEKS MAKE NEW
RECORD IN NORTHWEST.
Cargoes From Portland and Pugct
Sound Reach Total of o J 7,
3S3 Barrels.
The past four weeks have witnessed a
romarkable movement in flour, the ship
ments from the Northwest in that time
exceeding by far all former records for
a similar period. During the four weeks
beginning October 7. flour exports from
Portland and Puget Sound reached a total
of 547,333 barrels, the weekly shipments
being as follows: Week ending October
14, 113.404 barrels; week ending October
21, 145.SU barrels; week ending October
2S, 13L337 barrels; week ending November
4, 156,718 barrels.
The bulk of these cargoes have gone to
the Orient where since the close of the
war stocks are being replenished. An
other cause for the heavy shipments at
this time Is the announced advance in
freight rates. On January 1 the present
rate of H will be advanced to H-50. and
shippers, in an endeavor to save the 50
cents while they may, are utilizing every
inch of cargo space, obtainable. For this
reason shipments of flour will continue
heavy until the end of the year, in fact,
the demand for space on the Oriental
steamers from Portland and the Sound
during November and December far ex
ceeds the supply.
Within the next ten days three steamers,
the Nlcomedla, Abergeldle and Agincourt,
will leave Portland for Japan with close
to 100.0K) barrels of flour.
The Nlcomedla will load SO.CCti barrels
and the Abcrgeldie.and Agincourt approx
imately 25.000 barrels each, in addition to
their grain cargoes.
