LIFE i;jsimi;cE
There la probably no subject In which
there Is so widespread Interest at the
Dresent time aa Life Insurance, every
thing concerning thla " live topio Is
easerlr read Just bow nor la It to be
wondered at. for the people Inveated
tl7S.118.lXl. 00 In premiums with ths
American life insurance oompanles In

policies outstanding. It Is because of
this extensive Interest and because we
believe there la a keen desire for de
pendable Information on thla subject that
It has been determined to publish a aeries
of short talks in Life Insurance, or
which 'this is No. Land knowing aa we
do that the better our readera under
stand the subject the more certain will
be their desire for Nprtbwestern Mutual
nollclea.
That the publlo la taking life Insur
ance In lara-e amounts and - with in
creasing ' discernment , is evidenced . by
the fact that the Northwestern Mutual
has issued $91,600,000.00 new Insurance
during the first 11 niontns or iuo,
which is an Increase of 117.600.000.00
over tha corresponding period of 1(04.
A large proportion of our applications
for new insurance come from men al
ready Insured In this company and who
are prompted to Increase their lines be
cause of. aatlaf action with former poli
cies. -. - -
To Illustrate we take a case just at
hand: On SaturdajrlJast wa received an
application for $16,000 from a Portland
man. This la the second polloy he baa
taken with ua thla year. Previous to
this he took policies in this company in

PETROLEUM PRODUpTlON
(Journal gneelel Bervlee.)
Paris, Dec 18. According to state
ments published by the Commercial
Geographical society of Parte tha
world's production of petroleum last
year was divided aa follows: United
States, 11,000,000 tons; Russia. 10.400.
000: Sumatra, Java and Borneo, 1,000.-
000; Roumanla, 4(6,000; tha East Indies,
404.000; all others, 860,08. Astonish
ment is felt In regard ta Roumania's
rapid Increase from an insignificant po
sition to one whieh. tf it goea on In
creasing, will onabla it to compete with
Russia. The Ruaslan papers are some
what surprised at the presence or i
rival so near their borders. The pro
ductlon of 1(04 waa more than 8,000,000
tona larger than that of 1(08. Tha yield
of 1(01. because of tha terrible loases
In Russia, will hardly reach, that of
1(08. It -would not be aurprlalng If the
figures Bheuld show It much Issa than
for any year la the laat decade. The
effect on the petroleum markets will be
felt in many parts of the world, for
petroleum haa long been regarded even
by remote, regions aa a necessity.
