All the insurance agents of Albany yesterday received a formal notification fiom the Pacific Insurance Union that hereafter an increase ot hfteeu percent should be made to ail rates on ac count of the recent insurance ordin ance taxing the agents of the city. A meeting of the agents paying licenses was held this morning and a demand will be made at once for the withdrawal of the order. If it is not done there will be a kick that will be beard to the At lantic, as the people will not stand any such raise. Of course if it is kept in torce ine ordinance will have to be re pealed at once. Following ia the notification. Office of District D. Board of Fire Under writers of the Paiiae Portland. Or.. March 20. 1893 WnERKAs, The expense of transacting the business of fire insurance in Albany, Or., having been increased by the recent passage of an ordinance imposing an an nual license tax of seventy-five dollars, upon each agent for the privilege of do ing business in said city. Resolved, That on every policy taking eueci, on ana a iter niarcn z, less, an addition charge tqual in amount to fif teen per cent, of the premium, shall be addea as a specific tax, to be collected an.d remitted by the a;euta. P. db S. Olnsv, Manager. The licensed agents of the city say they will continue to write policies without tt 15 per cent addition so confident are tbej that the order will be withdrawn . . Albany, Ore., March 28, 1898. Julius Gradwohl handed us a circular which he has received from the BoW of Underwriters that the insurance cf the city of Albany is all raised 15 percent on the pr em fern, so the policy holders of the city of Albany will eee by the City Coun cil passing an ordinance for the insur ance agent to pay $75 licenee to do bus iness m the city of Albany which the City Council claims it will he a great help to raise a revenue for the city of Albanv. It 1 1 not even out of the agents nor the insurance companies, but the people who insure their property for protection in these hard times Some of them hardly have enough money to pay the insurance, and taxes on their p-operty, will have to py a special tax to tbe city of Albany to protect themselves. I hope that the City Council hive seen bv this time by making a special tax on the In surance agents it ia not coming out of the insurance companies, and that they will repeal the ordinance. Thirty Crescents Tne biggest single shipment of bicycles1 ever received in Albany arrived this morning at Hopkins Brothers direct from the factory, recently ordered by tbe firm by telegrap.1. They were Crescents for men, women and children, all the way from $20 to 50. The demand for the Crescent, a fine wheel for a low price has been great, justifying the large snip menu Get in lice and examine them and eee if there is any wheel their equal for the money. - Among the wheels was a srr.a'.l one tor Hazel Pleiffer, who will be the youngest rider ia the city.

AM TXTKSDA-2 A CALIFORNIA LETTER. A Discouraged Hunt for Good Pros pects. Upton, Cal. March 27, 1898. EnrroK Democrat. I thought I would write a tew lines to the Democrat, as I have friends in Ore gon who, no doubt, would like to know what has become cf me. I left Oregon last November and I have traveled over considerable country since November, but I have not found tbe place yet that can beat Oregon in all thins. I first went to Stockton, Cal. I soon found out tbat was not the place I was looking tor, as there was no prospect for a crop, every thing is dried np there. From Stockton I came Lack ai far aa An. dei eon Station where I temained until! the 22nd of March, when I came on to Siaiioo, Oil. The fruit was all killed by the late BATTLE-SHIP MAINE. Calm and stately in the blue watert of tbe Gulf stream. Lies at anchor, our proud and gallant battleship Maine, No word of warning have those sailor as they dream. That 'ere another sun, they will perish by the band of Spain, The myriad stars, the pale white moon, Kiss the waters of the placid deep, The stars and stripes float o'er tbe jib boom. While our heroes dream in tranquil sleep. Those heroes brave in quiet rest at mid night. Ne'er dreamed that hell shall endure the stain. Of this bold deed of lawless spite, Tbat marks the treacherous hand of Spain. I All is silent, the sentinel walk the deck, ) The deen sea rock, tbe foam beds ma iron wan pti ainou uy instate, .u,vu,ii,..,i baa badly damaged the grain. The farmers are all discouraged. Wages down below were from 75c to $1.50 per day on the fruit ranches. Up here at Sisson I do not know so much about the wattes I hear they pay from $1 76 to $2.00 per day in the mills and factory Some ot tbe mills are running here al ready, and the others will start up in a wtek or so. The weather at Siss-in is very cold. We had a light enow last Friday. W. W. Powell. There was a much larger attendance in tbe evening, and a good deal of interest was taken in tbe exercises. Tbe Albany orcbeslra furnished music for the occas ion. Mayor Burkhart delivered the address of welcome, timely remarks in favor of diversified farming and particularly of this branch of it, a very iir porta nt one, . appreciated by Albany people in tbe es tabliebment of a first class creamery here Tboe Panleen, the president, respond- ed. The gist of his remarks were in i--vorof better dairy laws. Col Julius Kaupisch, of Portland.kept the audience in splendid humor In an ad .dress of a witty order on butter and cheese miking, presenting for inspection 26 varieties of cheese of bis own make. He was equal to tbe occasion when arked number of questions on the subjec . Profs French, Kent and Pernot of tbe O. A. C. gave an illustrated stereopticoa lecture on dairying tbat was not only in structive but very entertaining. Some fine view of blooded rattle and dairying devices were presented. The session this forenoon was Opentd at 10 o'clock. In the absence of Mr. Weeks Mr. Douglas, of the Springfield creamery .was called upon to introduce tbe stioject of ""Silo," which he handled in a practical way, Prof French then discussed the matter and answered a storm of qoee--tionj. The fact was brought out tbat corn when properly raised is a reliable crop and a splendid food in silo or other' wise for cattle . Mr. H. C. Walker opeuea the subjec of Cheat hay, and incjJentallv gave con 8iderable pioneer history. The fact was brought out tbat Mr. Thomas Froman raised the first cheat hay in Oregon in 1857 on the place noon which be now re sides and that in 1861 be made the first sale for $14 a ton. It grows well on white land where almost nothing else -can be raised, but he considered it an in ierior fodder, of about 20 per cent less -value than red clover. A resolution introduced by G. L. Rees, asking tbat tbe present pure food law be not repealed was passed unanimously Prof. French then delivered one of the beat addresses of the meeting on "Breed. ing and feeding the dairy cow," contain ing suggestions ot great value to the sev enty nve iarmers present. Mr. Irene is a cyclopedia ot information and aa ' ewers all the questions during lite meltings rained upon him. Interspersed were a couple of solos Henry Morgan, warmly applauded. Sylvester was brought from Lebanon this morning on the train and taken o Salem tbia noon by Mr Chiis Cusic. Mr. Sylvester had been let 'Out tf the asylum on patrol, but growing worse was ordered back. Mr.Will Merriman went to Junction this noon, where be will be located here after. Mr. Sam May, of Harrieboi-g was in the city today for the first lime since his recent illness. Riley Hurlbnrt, who has been attend ing business college in Portland, return ed to Albany tnis noon. Gen. Tattle was in Albany several days, out it said it was politics and -not war that kept here. H. R Scbultx very unwisely used an ax at home tor splitting wood and as a result be now curies a hand in a sling. Mrs. A. B. Hndelson, accompanied by her little daughter, Mjbel. left Tuesday for a visit with Kansas relatives and old time friends. A. B. went as far aa Portland with '.hem. Review. Mies Emma Jones, of Marion county, was bound to retain the name of Jones o she has just married Mr. Nelso P. Jones, ot an entirely different family. Mr. Albert Bryan of Apiebipa Colo., is in tbe city, on a visit, the guest of his father E L Bryan, of Tangent. He was accompanied here by his sister. Rev. O. B. Streyfeiler and Miss Rose Ho.nscbnch were married at Portland on Tuesday of last week. Tbe former was pastor of tne Evvangelical church of this city for awhile At Por'land Saturday George Alexan der, of tbe Lebanon Advance, received S9 votes for state printer and G. A. San lord, now of Columbia county, formerly editor of the Jefferson Keview 10. Professor Louis Barzee has resined bib position as president of tbe Drain normal school, and will leave at the end of the present school year for McMinn- ville. He baa accepted a poiition as in structor in tbe college at that place Mr. William C.Tweedale left today. as a com mis loner to the Omaha expo sition to attrrri the mining and irriga tion convention at Baker City this week, as a preliminary step to tbe later expo sition at umaua. Mr. Thompson and family arrived in Albany a few days ago from lows, where Mr. Thompson owns a couble of fares and will make Albany their hoae for at least a year, with a view to re maining here permanently if they like the country Hon. R. M. Yea'.cb ha- been bury to day receiving congratulations ot bis numerous lnenas on nis nomination mr this district. The heartiness and non partisan character of these congratula tion shows the universal esteem in which Mr. Veatch is held by the people of this eommunitv.-uosegurg Keview. iHon. W. R. Bilreu. of this city, re-1 aa aM fa S nnmiirnhnn for l.CiVVU WO " ft' congressman, to 74 received by k. M. H Veatch. Mr. Kilseu wouio nave maoe a i Oregon's O. N. G. The statement ia bain? made that Oregon's O. N. G is tbe only one in the United States that can be ca fled out by tbe genera! government, whi'e in other case the allegiance has teen simply to the state ot which the O . G. is an in stitution. It is to be learned tor certain whether this is a factor just simply a war joke. As a matter ot fact no orders have ben received by ahv Albany officers at all. The whole business is somewhat of a canard. And yet it is a tact that in Al' bany the members are making arrange ments for starting at tbe first call, and Saturday tbe Dsmockat published a rail for recruits to fill the company. The members are not frightened either. Al most to a man they are ready to go it the order cornea. If called out it may be for coast defense and then it may be for fighting on Cuba itself. The Pacific Spanish fleet is net big enough to caose any apprehension for this coast ia case of war. Tbe Tribnne says on tbe subject : "Colonel Tuttle states absolutely that no orders for tbe O N. G. to Uke tbe Geld have been revived by him. Gen eral Beebe was rather indignant over the report and denies point blank tbat there , any truth in it. However, it is an absolute fact that tbe rumor origi nated with officer of the Oregon Na tional Guard, and for this reason' it was thought to be authentic. " Hunting a Lost Child. From the Crook County Journal : A. Davis came in from tbe Matolts Monday n-ght bridging word that tb lit tle 4 year-oid eon of Gay Allinghain, of Fly Creek had wandered away :rom borne Saturday afternoon and had not been found wben Mr. Davis left Monday morn ing.although nine men had been scouring the woods in search of him from Satur day night. Tbe child was last seen by bis sunt, Hiss Dolly Alliogham. playing with tbe doz in tbe vard . The dog bad disappeared with tbe child and bad not returned. Wednesday morning as many as a score of residents of Prlneville and vicinity left for the Mstoles to assist in the search for tbe child. Among these were Frank E.kini. Ed Harbin. M A Moore. M R Bibbs. Chris Cobrs, Ike Moore Al Cubitt, II A Belknap, H Tay lor Hill. Arch Powell, Chaa Bolbsy, Al Davit, Sam Burkhart, Paul Swayne and E F Foren. Tbe extremely cold nights of Saturday and Sunday leave little hopeol finding tbe child alive. The younger members of the Junior society of the Baptist church met wit) their leaders on Saturday afternoon for a social.at tbe horns ot Mrs. Koius lao mo on, who gave them a moat cordial greet ng, and enterta.ned tbem very pleasant- y. About thirty were present, a nuoi ber of auite lively games were played. then a short program was rendered con sisting of music and recitations, followed bv a "Tootb-oicK luncb ' they an seemed to have a very enjoyable time, and b o dock the bour lor separating, seemed to come ail too soon. Such gath erings among our church societies do much to cultivate tbe better side of hu man nature. That Insurance Business To tos Editor: . In todays Morning Herald eppeira an article "Insueasce Kates Go Up. An attempt to add 15 per cent to the already high rales." In answer to which I ask the forbearance of the re .ders of your valuable journal to tbe following : In tbe article referred to this late men t ia indulged in : ''The action of tbe city council in requiring insurant agents to pay an annual lisenee is undoubtedly the excuse for this raise, but as the re quest tor tbe new ordinance came from the insurance agents themselves it lxks like a job on the part ot the insurance companies." Who in the name of common sens (and borse senss will answer in this case) introduced and rushed through to its final passage this ordinance in Ques tion? In tbe article referred to, the statement is made that tbe reqees;' came trotn the agents themselves." How many agents of insurance companies of Albtny were ever consulted in regard to the matter at all. The fact of tbe whole business is this, as has been communi cated In a former article in your journal by one, of about three of Vhe prime n0v era of the conspiracy, that it was for nothing else than to "wipe off tbe face of the earth" certain inturauce agents so tbat the "favored few" might live in luxury. I will give the Herald credit for saying one thing in its article before mentioned that witi bear investigation and t bat is this : ' Rates are already too high." But will we ever lower them by such actions as those recorded by our oooorable city dads in tbe enactment of such city laws as that covering the in surance agent. Liceniie? No. tbe very opposite, as is now qui'. vividly demon strated, will be the outcome. The Herald says"Tbeiosaranceagecti of Albany reld a meeting and will de mand a withdrawal ot the order." A very proper tbingt?) I must say, wben those agents, after securing tbe enact Dent ot this licwnse law, tniormed their various companies tbat they must "put up or shut np" anl aa a matter of busi ness tbey "put np." and now on tbe same business principle tbe insurance couipaniee are going to "even up." which is only carrying out tbe proposition on correct business lines. Tbe Herald further states tbat only about ten per cent of premiums bad ever been ret nroed to tbe city to cover losses, etc, all ot which speaks well lor tbe fire protection for tnecty ot Albany, which is greatly strengthened by tne proficiency and good management of tbe Albmnv Fire beoartmeiit.

E lilor Dtmocttt: The Herald of the 29th on authority of ex Councilman Gradwohl says insurance is increased 15 per cent. I will say tbat I have talked with five or six ot tbe lead ing agents and tbey tell me that tbey will write insurance at tbe aan, rates ss heretofore notwithstanding the circular Mr. Gmdwohl refers to. Now I woulj like to know what kick tbe people have as long as tbey can get tbe same ratrt of insurance as before. One thing I do koow is tbat tbe city of Salem collects over (1000 per annum from insurance companies and no rates hav been increeee-t there. While Al bany would collect $500 per annum un der ber city license tbey raise a bowl and want to raiaalhe rates 15 per cent In the face of this it is highway robbery, a tbe additiondl expense to all tbe com panies is not to exceed 5 per cent, yet tbey raise the rate 1 per cent Have our peo4s no backbsne and will they not stand by their council and stand" np for our rights as other cities do, or shall we show the white Csg aa has generally been done before, and let these trusts bluff ns out One thirg certain is the council will work for the best interest of the DeoiJe to tbe best of their. -ability and wben the lime comes to act yon will find we will be on band and Uke tbe proper coarse. Ccunrilroen are insurers aa weil as others, sod it does not stand to reason that tbey desire to increase their insur ance premiums. The feople making tbe biirgent howl in this matter as we:l as those calamity how le-s in other affairs du not pay uxes or insurance. As for Bro.
