' : "The losses of the Insurance compa nies in the Rochester find Baltimore (Ires will largely exceed their premium receipt ''for the entire year, according to my ! Ijest Information," said W 8. Stone, manager, of the .board of fire underwriters for the Pacific,' today, "and the total losses for rny department of tue country ror therpast eight years win not equal the aggregate of the losses for the past two months, I have not the figures at hand showing the opera lions of the companies for the entire country, s Our , department Is supplied only with those covering the Pacific department which 1 includes Oregon, Washington, California, Ariiona. Utah, .Nevada,' and Montana, and a small por tion of New Mexico and Wyoming, The total premium receipts for my . terri tory for 190$ was over $17,280,000, and for the past eight years It wag over J45.000.000. 'The total losses fof this 'department for the same, period are, about 46- per cent of the premium receipts, or a sum in . excess of 120,000,000.. While there Is no definite report of the losses sus tained by these two fires, It will cer tainly be' considerable more' than dou ble that - of the1 past eight' years for this territory. There has hot been an adjudication of the losses, at either Rochester or Baltimore, nor, will there Im for a long time, and the exact loss sustained will not be known until then, "It Is a very bad year for fire companies, and If It continues as It has begun many of them doubtless Will be forced to suspend business." " ' "The buildings destroyed will be re built at once." said N. B. Streeter of Rochester,' today, speaking of the Roch ester fire, "and if such a thing Is po8sible. this time they will be sctually fireproof. Most of the ones burned, particularly .the Granite building, were supposed to "be fireproof, but it has been demonstrated that such was not the case. The burned area covered, what Is generally known as the dry good dls 'trlct, and the principal sufferer was the firm of Sibley. Lindsay & Co., who had " the largest department store in Central or Western New York. They did a .lobbing as well as a retail business. Their place was a mammoth one. They were members of the dry goods and de partment store syndicate, which includes "nearly alt of the larger establishments In that line of trade throughout . the country - ! "Adjoining the devastated district is the widely known Powers block and ho- ,nl THa lira, ttiA , larira SA rVftf office building constructed west of New- York CVy.

In thia, building was the famous Powers Art gallery which art ists of other ' places pronounced to be more artistic than anything In Boston or New York City, and to greatly sur pass the Corcoran , gallery In Washing ton. Unfortunately Mft Powers' heirs were, not as patriotic as he' was and when he died they refused to contribute to its support and as It was not self supporting they sold U at auction and the priceless treasures ' were scattered all over the country. It was a severe loKB to Rochester. I will not say as bad as the fire, but It certainly was a hard blow to have to part with It. Among the pointings was one entitled "Herod's Decree," or the killing of the children, one of the most realistic things I have ever seen. ' .' Rochester has a population of about 170,000 and Its main industries are the manufacture of cameras, shoes, clothing and beer, for all of which It Is famous. Its water supply is derived from Hem lock lake and Is an excellent system. This is supplemented by another system taking water from Lake Ontario just below Niagara Falls. Intended to be lined In emergencies, and in the few times that the other has not been in working order this one has given good satisfaction. "I am senior member of the -firm of N. B. Streeter & Co.. manufacturers of and dealers (n hardware specialties. Our plant Is about four blocks from the scene of the fire. We did not suffer di rectly from it and It will not Interfere with our, business. This Is my regular annual .trip, to Portland, which I have i been visiting for many years." NOTICE TO XA.BIBSBS.

Porter was taken into custody today as insane at the Hesperian boarding bouse, at 638. Morrison street. Com passion for his trouble led to his being Kept at the hoarding house pending the arrival of his wife from the Orient. Melancholy , resulting from brooding over the loss of "the command of his ship, the IndrawadirTs" his present af fliction, thinks- Dr. B. II. Fisher. This has . weighed on his mind-very' heavily aa he1 had' been so recently promoted to the position which he has lost as a result of his disappearance after land ing in New York. There is hope that with proper treatment his reason may return. j The, officers who took him Into custody are Detective Vaughn and Officers Hellr yer and' Mullen who' after a violent struggle overpowered htm and took him to Good Samaritan hospital: Captain Porter was formely first offi cer of the Indravelll of the Portland Asiatic ' Steamship company's line. He was promoted to .. the command of the steamship lndrawadl, owned by the same company, which owns the vessels of the Portland line. She plied between New York and the "Orient. When hia ship was ready to put to sea on her long voy age from New York last January 9 the captain disappeared.' The ship was held two days -while search was made for him. A few-days later he was heard of in Boston at the Trafalgar hotel. He was ,not able to explain how he got there or to tell anything connected with his disappearance. When he awoke $250 of his money was gone and he had but a few dollars left. He com plained of a Bevere pain in his right Shoulder and consulted a physician. A wound existed such as might have been made by the nqedle of a hypodermic syringe. He said that he believed that a large dose of "knock-out drops" was administered to him In New York from which he did not recover until after reaching Boston. He then went to Bal timore where he .has relatives with whom he visited for about a week while recovering. He then came to Portland Intending -to return to Japan either to rejoin Ms-ship or else to engage In busi ness on his own account. When he ar rived here he learned that his wife who had been Informed of his experience had left their home at Kobe to Join him and he has been waiting for her here. It - was expected that Mrs. Porter would arrive here today. It is known that she Is en route.

The Vancouver a-ency of The Ore nn Dully Journal U located at 603 Main street, ba 1. Lunilberf, agnut. (Journal Special Berries,) Vancouver, Wash.. March 1. A man by the name-of Beck, having received a large sum of money, stared out to have a "good time" In and about Van couver last night. In his rambles lie did not forget to call on the various sa loons, and by being friendly, imbibed enough to make him become weary. His weariness In the evening was not so no ticeable, but by 3 o'clock this morning it was so pronounced that is caused much trouble to the police. During the course of the day he had made friends with certain members who were privates In the army and sta tioned at these barracks. Beck good na turedly Invited the boys to make merry with him. The fumes of the warm rooms visited by them was too much for the whole crowd and the confidential appearance of some of the men led the police to believe a confidence game was brewing and that It was about time to protect Beck from robbery. The Inter ference of the police resulted In two bruised heads In the military gang, and Immediately after the arrest of Beck. Mr. Beck was escorted to the city Jail to sleep off the effects of his spree. On being searched. Beck had only $3 left out of about $40. The soldiers among them had not very much and It is be lieved that Beck spent the money In treating "full houses." After the im promptu fight between the police and soldiers, the soldiers withdrew to their quarters as the cock was crowing "it is morning." A Good right. An Impromptu glove contest took place last night in a rear room at the old Williams' place. The event was the meeting of Charles Edward from Frisco and Spike Sullivan, a soldier at Vancouver barracks. Both parties weighed In at even weight, 145 pounds, and fought four rounds, resulting In a draw. The preliminary bout was fought be tween Rcdy Shaw of Vancouver and Charles Johnson of Oregon City. "Chick's" Good Oimi, The genial artilleryman commonly known among the boys as "Chick," had a novel experience with a couple of young men whom he termed ."hunters." These two gentlemen were seeking a like number of ladles who were sup posed to be some place wlthlit the reser vation grounds, and Inquired of "Chick" if he had seen them. "Chick" had seen them, but ' Instead of telling the men so he directed their attention to a sign heaAby ""Hunting prohibited on the reservation." "Chick" says he had. the game all to himself afterwards, but thought it would not be the best policy to take the same to the barracks and had to turn his "catch" loose.

Judge R. P. Boise in the circuit court yesterday afternoon decided the appeal case in the matter of the estate of Henry Ollschlager, an insane person, Maria Sabilla Ollschlager, respondent, vs. .J. B. Wldmer ft al., appellants, an appeal from the county court affirming the judgment of the lower court. The case Is an Interesting one. 'Henry Oll schlager, an aged resident of this city, was some time ago adjudged Insane and committed to the asyljim, and Mrs. Oll schlager petitioned the court -for the appointment of Theodore M. "Barr as guardian of the person and estate of her husband. J. B. Widmer, a nephew of the old man, and some of Mb other rel atives also filed a petition asking for the appointment of O. O. Bingham of this city aa guardian and setting up the claim that Mrs. Ollschlager was not the wife but the housekeeper of the old man, alleging that she had never been mar ried to the man whom she called her husband. The old lady told the story of her marriage when the case came up for hearing lh a simple but convincing manner. She, stated that she had lived with Mr. Oll'schlagers sister In Ger many until that lady died, when the brother came to Germany to settle the estate and, asked the servant to marry him; Being unable to marry as soon as .they desired, they daclded to post pone the wedding until they arrived in the United States and on arriving. In Philadelphia, some time In September, 1887, a marriage ceremony was per fbrmed, the old lady being unable to say by whom. They then came to Sa lem and have resided here since that time as man and wife. There was no record to prove the marriage, but as the. woman had always considered herself the wife of Ollschlager, she contended that she was entitled to have a voice in. the disposition of the property. The nephews of the old man attempted to show that she was not the wife but the servant of their uncle, and when the county court found for Mrs. Oll schlager they appealed to the circuit court. The case was tried last week and yesterday Juge Boise" found for the woman, holding that she was the wife of Ollschlager, and as such her peti tion was entitled tq the consideration it had received at the hands of the county court. P. H. D'Arcy and Gov ernor Chamberlain represented the old lady In the Ae and Bonham and Mar tin appeared Jor the nephews. Young Bepubllcana. The executive committee of the Young Men's Republican club held a meeting last night at which it was derided to hold an open meeting at the city hall next Monday evening, to which all the Republicans In the city will be Invited and especially the members of the club will be urged to attend. At this meet ing arrangements will be made for a monster rally to be held In the near future and for this purpose committees will be appointed to arrange fer the program and entertainment of the crowd. At last night's meeting a committee consisting of W. E. Richardson, J. W. Reynolds and J. G. Orahnm was an. pointed to make the arrangements for the meeting and a good program will be prepared Including speeches by promi nent members of the party and music. It Is expected that the gathering will be a large and representative ono and that the enthusiasm that Is said to. be ready to burst forth will at this time make Itself manifest. LIFE BOATS ARE- -MERE DEATH TRAPS Comments are being made along the waterfront on the large number of ma rine disasters that have occurred off the c.oast this season. It Is stated that the season has been the worst ever known in the history of Pacific coast shipping. Whether it is best to launch the life boats, and endeavor to save the lives of the passengers in, this manner, or to have them remain aboard the vessel and trust to luck. Is another subject that is being discussed. In support of the lat ter plan are mentioned the big casu alty lists that resulted In the case of the South Portland, the Clallam and the recent accident which befel the Queen in Puget sound wnters. In each of thene instances, which 'have been the tnont serious disasters of recent occurrence, the life boats were launched. A few minutes afterwards they capsised' and the refugees were drowned. Compara tively speaking all those who remained on board were saved. I( Is argued that the life boats are valueless, particularly the kind used, and by not carrying them the loss of life would not be so great.'. Some state that It would be far better if no Ufa boats were carried at oil, unless some craft much safer than those now in uso can be disco vored. TEACKEBS' LOQAL INSTITUTE. .

A CHOICE BETWIXT THE ROTTEN APPLES (Journal Special Service.) " Albany, Or., March 1. Politicians are doing their usual- amount of figuring in Linn county at present and' it can be surmised that secret slateB and under standings will cut quite an important part In the preliminaries. Both sides are Lictiv!, but perhaps the most interesting conflict will be waged In the Republican ranks over the congressional delegation, xnn situation as vieweu xrom , an im partial standpoint, is to say the least, very peculiar and this county may be the center of a very warm contest. The cause of the dissension will probably be the effort of the friends of the Hon. L. T. Harris to secure an. anti-Hermann delegation to Salem. The Eugene as pirant has a number of -jvarm friends In the -county, who will attempt to cen tralize the opponents of the present congressman around the banner of the Lane county man. The supporters of Hon. Blnger 'Hermann need not be ex pected to quit the field without a strug gle, for they have always maintained a strong organization and will go to the last dlt(h for their man. The Hermann forces lost the delegation last year, but Hon. Percy R. Kelly of this city was a candidate at the time and owing to his popularity, it was Impossible for the Hermann people to make inroads on his, strength. This year, however, the line up will be entirely different ahd.lt Is almost a. foregone conclusion that. Mr. Hermann will hnvo a few friends in the delegation, and it would not be surpris ing to see instructed delegates favoring the man from Douglas county. This condition has been brought about large ly by three things: First, the action of the Lane county delegation In forcing the name of Harris berbre the congres sional convention last year at Eugene, after a solemn pledge had been made by his supporters that he would not be a candidate. Second, the connection that Mr. HarrU has with the Booth-Kelly Lumber company, as their paid attorney and confidential advisor, and, third, the growing sentiment that Is prevailing among the people that If Mr. Hermann was good enough for the place last year he is certainly as good this year. In support of the first proposition the Linn county workers have a grievance against Mr. Harris that grew out of the attitude of himself and his intimate friends at the convention laat year. Some time prior to the day of the con vention Mr. Harris wrote to parties in this city that he. would not be a can didate under any circumstances and in personal conversation with the same people reiterated his statements. When the convention was struggling tp nomi nate a successor to biie late Hon. Thomas H. Tongue and after the Her mann opposition had agreed to stand by either Gatch, Kelly or Vawter to the last, the Lane county delegates pre sented the name of their favorite son and attempted to force his nomination, The Hermann supporters were about to throw their votes to Senator Kelly, and at that stage the Booth-Kelly people withdrew the name of Harris and went back to Hermann and his nomination followed. The curves of that combina tion were hard to follow and Intimate friends of Mr. Hermann allege, to 'this day that the entire game. was to make a catspaw of their candidate and secure the plum for Harris. This part of the campaign is ihLitory but pastvenU have been known td play an Important part in. shaping events of the future, an.d it will take more than soft' words and confiding promises to make the people who were on the inside last year believe that their conclusions are not correct. The second reason is an admitted fact and even the warmest adherents of Mr. Harris do not attempt to deny It The Booth-Kelly Lumber company Is a great Industrial' corporation owned largely by San Francisco parties and has many mills In Lane county and Southern Ore gon. It has been a prime factor In devel oping the resources of that region and In its legitimate sphere will have the hearty co-operation of the people of the state. But the Booth-Kelly company as a business enterprise and the Booth Kelly company as a political manager are different propositions and they can expect different treatment at the hands of the people. To place a corporation In control of political affairs bodes ill for the party assuming the responsibility, nd the voters are not slow to ferret out the motlyes Inspiring the assumption of such powers. The menwho oWn timber lands in the mountains will remember that only a few years ago Senator R. A.' Booth was elected to the legislature, and one of his first acts was to secure the passage of a law for the Improvement of the streams, giving the large com panies absolute control over natures highways, with very little 6r any powers left In the hands of the people. The law was declared unconstitutional by Judge Boise , of this district, and the small timber-holders breathed easier. At the regular session oU903 a stmllur bill was Introduced by Representative Miles of Yamhill county, but failed to pass. Mr. Miles Is a lumber anC log ging operator and is connected with the Spauldlng .company, another large con cern, and on very Intimate terms with the Booth-Kelly company, A bill giv ing the county courts -the power to grant a portion, of the county roads for flumes was passed and the peculiar wording of this meusure leaves no doubt that It was framed In the Interest of the lum-. her corporations, as the franchise ean only be granted to a "person, company, or corporation engaged in the operation of a sawm.111 or mills." Supporters of Mr, Harris may say that these matters are far-fetched, but they are cited to show the real motive of large and weal thy corporations mixing In politics, and if we can expect treatment of that na ture, should Mr. Harris be nominated and elected to congress, is it any wonder that the average, voter is commencing to inquire into the condition of affairs? Mr. Harris personally is a bright young man, who In time might be able to rep resent the 'whole district in $he lower house, but Mr. Harris as the attorney and, agent of the Booth-Kelly syndicate. will haye a hard road to travel If the Republican congressional convention Is unwise enough to nominate him.- The people feel that even now their Interests are in danger, with a -partner of this powerful combination, in a high official is a Household Favorite Everywhere for Coughs, Golds, Group, Bronchitis, Pneumonia, -Grippe and ail other Throat and Lung Troubles It quickly stops coughing, tickling in throat, difficult breathing and pain in the chest and lungs. .

'A druggist prepare me , some medicine;- and a physician prescribed for me, yet I did not improve. I then tried FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR, and eight doses cured me." For Sale by WOODARD position at the Roseburg land office, and numerous other strings centering at the headquarters in Eugene. The sentiment is forming and the only way for the Booth-Kelly company to escape a se-i vere rebuke from the hands of the peo ple Is for It to retire from the political arena. That Mr. Hermann stands as well with the powers at Washington as he did one year age Is very ylaln, and whether the Influence exerted by htm Is great or small, it is equal to what he sad when he was named by the Booth-Kelly com bine then. If he was good enough to be rammed down, the political throats of the voters In 1903, by the lumber bosses who told the dear people that the dose was pleasant, then why not give him some more "endorsementJL and let him go before the people again for reelec tion. These things are starting the "gray matter" to working and the bosses may bear something drop In the rural districts If they force the layman to sneeze every time the lumber trust takes snuff. The state of Oregon-has vast re sources In the great belts of timber, but the rights and equities of the common wealth must be protected against the continued encroachments of the timber sharks and grabbers, who will enrich themselves at the expense of the masses. Business sagacity and enterprise needs remuneration, but it should come through business channels and, not seek rewards along the dark and mysterfoirs avenues of politics. Mr. Harris will have these things to combat before the Republican convention. - and they will tare him In the face like a wild and weird- Rider Haggard phantasm If he should receive the nomination.
