: "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 - !

'America. sent from Europe reached Its
destination without loss of time. The hotel-was
added years after the first build
ing was erected. 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."

3. 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.

(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.

An Interesting Case.
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.

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.

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.
