A GREAT SHOWING.
A Year's Tteoord Which Is Entitled
to Much Consideration.
Elsewhere in today's Oregonian will
be found 'the published annual statement
of January 1. 1909, of the Home Insur
ance Company of New York, the lead
ing exclusive fire insurance company of
the world.
The Home Insurance Company Is just
ly entitled to the proud distinction It
holds, on account of its magnificent rec
ord in all the great conflagrations of
this country. It was the first to pro
claim to the distressed people of San
Francisco its intention to pay all valid
claims dollar for dollar, regardless of
what action others, might take.
The Home Insurance Company, not
withstanding Its magnificent policy
holders' surplus of over $13. 600.000. has
established a conflagration fund In which
it has placed JSOO.000. It Is the first
company to set aside a conflagration re
serve, which Is an additional surplus.
This company's assets have reached the
enormous figures of 124.S5S.499.05, set
ting a new mark for fire companies, ren
dering the Indemnity It sells as "safe
as the rocks of Gibraltar."
It is managed In its Pacific Northwest
department by Mr. John D. Coleman,
general agent,, headquarters 3im Stark
street, this cltv. Its local representatives
are D. W. Hoelbing & Co., Sllh-, Stark
street: Mr. Harvey O' Bryan, McKay
building, and Portland Trust Company
of Oregon. In Its own building, Third and
Oak streets.
The public's attention Is called in
particular to the company's list of as
sets, wherein are Itemized all its secur
ities, comprising the best stocks and
bonds of the Nation, exhibiting the con-
servatlveness of the Home's manage
ment In safeguarding the company's
funds.
Mr. Elbridge G. Snow, president of the
Home, has many warm personal friends
in this city who will be pleased to learn
of the wonderful success of his company.

There appears to be trouble ahead for
the city in collecting assessments for
water mains under the present system of
charging- the costs to "benefited proper
ty" abutting the Improvement. A point
of law as to what constitutes "benefited"
property Is Involved, and It seems at this
time that the courts will be called upon
to construe this. The first remonstrance
to be filed against such an assessment is
now in the hands of City Auditor Barbur.
It is signed by Attorney R. R. Dunlway,
and Is against the six-inch main ordered
by the City Council to be laid In East
Thirteenth street, between Thompson and
Halsey streets.
Attorney Duniway bases his remon
strance on the fact that the main is to be
paid for by the "benefited property," the
property abutting the- Improvement, ex
tending back 100 feet each way. He de
clares .that such a method of assessment
for the water main Is absurd; that "any
one can see that property for a far great
er distance about is benefited," and de
mands a larger district to cover the payment.
The water main Is but one of many
which have been ordered installed by the
City Council under the law, passed by the
people last June, the provisions of which'
direct the City Auditor to assess costs
to the "benefited property." It has al
ready been found that this Is a very dif
ficult method, it being extremely indefi
nite as to what Is the property benefited.
City Attorney Kavanaugh has realized
from the first that this system Is not sat
isfactory, and he is endeavorlnr to have
some amendments made at the coming
election.
Mr. Kavanaugh. says that it is a ques
tlon that can scarcely be determined, as
to Just what property Is benefited by the
laying of a water main. It may be ar
gued, he says, that the entire commuplty
may be, and probably is. benefited by
such an extension to the city system, and
the indefinite plan now in vogue seems
to be In need of amendment, he says. The
Charter Board has the matter under con
elderatlon, the "committee, on the depart
ment of water supply being now engaged
In an effort to remedy the defects, and
Mr. Kavanaugh having been added to the
committee to assist In a legal capacity.
The law as it was voted by the people,
however. Is in effect and must be fol
lowed until another vote can be taken
upon It, at least, and much inconvenience,
it seems, is likely to result meantime.
gather for the long period of C4 years, al
ways lovingly and happily. Mrs. Beebe wai
a denoted wife, mother and friend, gentle,
kind and charitable, ever ready to assist
with hand and heart neighbors and those in
need of help of any kind and until inca
pacitated by age and its attendant weak
ness was charitable to extreme generosity,
f he was Interested In the material progress
of all her acquaintances. Every one who
ever knew her was her friend and will la
ment her demise. Mrs. Beebe was the.
lineal descendant of good old Revolutionary
stock and a woman of ardent patriotism
and immensely proud that her loved hus
band maintained the traditiona of the fam
ily during the Civil War. May her tender
soul rest easy in Its bed of clay and she in
the great beyond receive that reward which
her kind and .graceful work on earth
merited.
The departed lady was a consistent mem
ber of the Presbyterian Church all her Ufa.
and a devoted worker in every case of
church activity for the 33 years she resided
in Portland and vicinity.

ALICE -IS TOTAL LOSS
So Chance of Saving Any Part of
Ship or Cargo.
ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 18. (Special.)
That the French ship Alice is a total
loss .with her cargo of cement is now
an established fact, and there is no
chance of saving any part of her ex
cept of what may be washed ashore
as wreckage. Edward M. Cherry,
Lloyds' agent, and French Vice-Consul
Labbe visited the scene on Sunday. The
Consul decided to have the captain
and crew remain in comfortable quar
ters there until arrangements are per
fected through the French Consul-Gen-
eral at San Francisco and a court of In
quiry is ordered.
Mr. Cherry has requested Captain
Veysey, Lloyds' surveyor, to make
survey of the vessel officially, and if
his report suggests that she cannot
be saved, bids will be asked, probably
for the sale of the ship, as well as her
cargo.

In a Woman's Power
at the Star
N a Woman's Power," a melo
drama in four acts, is the bill
this week at the Star. Patrons of this
sort of entertainment will find the
play quite to their liking, as It con
tains several strong scenes and a gen
erous share of comedy. Dr. Ellwood
Hardlcraft, a respected physician of
Washington is implicated with a gang
of counterfeiters, one of whom Is a
woman. Dr. Hardlcraft has Just been
married and is anxious to give up the
criminal career of . which nothing is
known. Owing to the Hold the woman
counterfeiter has upon him he Is fre
quently in grave danger of exposure.
He Is Induced by her to visit Baltimore
where the counterfeiters are at work.
The place Is raided by the secret serv
ice. Hardlcraft makes his escape and
returns to his family, presumably re
formed.
Pat Garln, as Hon. Tom Fenwlck has
an excellent opportunity to show his
powers as an Impersonator. As Dickey,
a counterfeiter, in a later act, his work
is equally good.
Dorothy Turner appeared as Laura
Parent, an adventuress, and spoke with
what was supposed to be a French ac
cent. Dorothy Kenyon was Interesting
as Bernlce Hardlcraft, the young wife.
"In a Woman's Power" will run the
remainder of the week and should
draw good audiences.

Especial attention is called to the creation by this Company of a Conflagration
Surplus now amounting to $800,000, a sum exceeding the entire assets of many com
panies seeking business in the United States and Canada, and the only Company
doing business in this country maintaining a reserve df this character, rendering
substantial its claims to being "conflagration proof." And we also call your atten
tion to the Policyholders Surplus of this Company, larger than that of any other
company transacting the business of fire insurance in the United States. THE
HOME OF NEW YORK was the first company to announce that it would pay its
San Francisco Conflagration Losses in full upon adjustment.
