' At the conference yesterday afternoon of Governor Chamberlain, Attorney- General Crawford and Bocretary of State uunbar with Major Iangfttt. United States engineer, and United States Dis trtct Attorney Hall, matters of Impor tance in connection with the Celllo canal, chief among them being the , right of way, were considered. The first named three respresented the state commission and- the latter two the government. The commission's object, was to learn lust what and how much ground - the government ; would require and wftat form or deed of transfer would be necessary. At the next meeting Dis trict Attorney Hall will present a form of deed for the approval- of the com mlHslon.

It was understood at the conference that no serious oppo sition : would be encountered from the O. R. N. Co., and officials of tho rail road company will be invited to & con ference with the state board later. ' '.i ne board will hasten negotiations for the right of way as fast as pos sible. The portage railroad received only incidental consideration at the meeting. Messrs. Dunbar and Crawford re turned to Salem last evening. MEETING OF NEW MILITARY BOARD The first meeting of the new state mili tary board, appointed recently by. Gov ernor Chamberlain, was held shortly af ter 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Having served more than aeven years In the Oregon National Guard, Col- D. M. Dunne was, upon his own request, trans ferred to the National Guard veterans. In accepting the resignations of the old board the commander-in-chief expressed his appreciation of the faithful and mer itorious services of the officers named, saying that, always alert and painstaking in the performance of their duty, their records are such as to warrant high praise. : ... t, . f- BENTriTS OX CITT OWNERSHIP. (Journul Special Berries.) ' ' v1 Dulutti, Minn., Jan. 1. Advocates of municipal ownership of public utilities may now point to the city of Duluth as a striking Illustration of the practica bility and benefits of their ideas. To day the price of gas for all purposes was reduced to 90 cents per thousand feet, which makes a total reduction of $1 since the gas lighting plant was taken over by the municipality. -Contributing to this remarkable drop in price have been better management under munici pal ownership and a larger consumption; but this latter has been due to better management and continued reductions. Under present contracts and at the rate of growth now made, cltlsens of Duluth believe a year hence will see the price of gas further reduced to 75 cents per thousand feet. ' .

It has been assumed with the changes in valuations of the stock and bond Itst since July first, that there would be con siderable marking off in values and in the reduction of surplua holdings, , The New York Life Insurance company is the first of the great corporations to make a statement The applications for new insurance amounted to $475,000,- ooo. .,, . -: i The new paid for business accepted by the company for 1803 Is $325,000,- 000.. President McCall states that this last mentioned amount Is in excess of the previous year by $23,000,000. It shows also a gain of over $190,000,000 in total paid for insurance outstanding which la stated at one billion . seven hundred and forty-five ... millions in amount - covered by 310,000 policies, The Income of 190$ is over eighty seven millions and is In excess of. the income Of 1903 by more than eight millions. The company reports also that it does not in vest In or loan upon stocks of any kind and that no credit is taken in assets for the excess of the present market value of securities over their cost value, which excess Is over two million dol lars.' The total resources of the com pany exceed three hundred and fifty mlN Hon dollars. Its bond holdings in creased in 103 over thirty millions. The policy reserves, as certified by the state Insurance superintendent and sur plus reserves have been Increased dur ing the year by more than thirty-five million dollars, The various bank and trust company officials predict an easy money market. And the stock and other exchange members appear , to be well satisfied that trade stagnation and the doubtful views of business Improvement will likewise be cleared away in .'the early part of the year. The large build ing and railroad operations neia up oy strikes and tight money market will, it believed,1 be resumed very, early in the new ' year. . The government export and import figures would seem to indi cate that the total exports will rail a few millions below those of 1900, and be about equal to those of 1901, but mate rially in excess of those of 1902. ' While the total Imports will exceed those of any preceding year-,- and combined with the exports, make the grand total of commerce more than any preceding year; also tht the' exports of manufacturers will exceed those of 1902 by several millions.
