April 13. Charles Williams, until recently a deckhand? on the - Portland .Railway company's Van couver ferry,- and for awhile conductor on a Portland streetcar line, after work ing for more - than five years has per fected a patent burner for smelting ore. He recently secured a patent from the United States In addition to patents from several other governmental Includ ing Great Britain, France and Ger many. Testerday Mr. Williams received word from Senator W. A. Clark of Mon tana that he would buy the right to use the new burner la the state of Montana. The price pal bjr Senator Clark for the one state Is 1460.000. Senator Clark spent tlOO.000 In test ing the Williams burner. - In order to make this test it waa necessary to con struct an entire smelter to suit the burner. Instead of burning coke aa la now done In all the smelters of the world, the new burner will burn coal. It Is estimated that the cost of smelt Ing will thus be reduced 0 per cent In the fuel. The labor coat will also be reduoed, although the exact amount has not been figured out. Mr. Williams has been made flatter ing offers for the right to ' use his patent In several states but has deferred action, aa Senator Clark wlU probably take over the entire right for the United Statea. ..

' - A writer for an eastern publication who recently 'visited Portland in tbe interest of hla masaslne made tbe state ment to one of our Prominent buatness men mat Portland was the home of ure insurance oompany which was founded on a plan sunerlor to anything mat fte Had ever encountered. - He rerred to the Columbia Life Trust oompany; who are soon to remove to their commodious new oflloes In . the Lumber Exchange building at the cor ner, or second and..&tark streets. Thl company has at lta head W. M. ldd aa president and T. B. Wilcox aa vice president, the other officers and direc tors being all well -known business men of sterling character and financial stand' Ing. The plan on which this company operates and which called forth the above remark ia one evolved and per fected after some . two years of care ful study and consultation with the leading life Insurance actuaries "of the United States. It Is simply a return to a flrst -principle of furnishing life insurance protection devoid of all In vestment features. The policy Issued by . them la payable only in . event . of death and contains no table of values in event of surrender, for the reason that the premium rate charged covers only the cost of the Insurance provided and therefore, la much less than that called for by companies operating under the legal reserve system;, commonly known as old Una companlea. The com pany makes provision for those who de sire what is known aa limited payment or endowment policies by issuing a sep arate contract known as an accumula tive bond: thla bond la purely an tn veatment contract and .when carried through to maturity guarantees the .re turn of all Inveatment deposits with per cent compound Interest, and in ad dition thereto a share of the surplus1 earnings. - The bond at maturity la payable In cash to ths legal owner or a paid-up bond drawing a given rate of Interest Is Issued In-lieu -thereof; this bond then becomes the medium for making the in surance paid up, aa the interest derived from the bond . pays the Insurance premium and in event of death both the Insurance and the amount of the bond are payable to the estate of the insured. The plan of the Columbia Life A Trust com pany has - been matured -After a most searching Investigation of tue policy con tracts of other companies and a thorough analysis of their rates and conditions. In formulating their schedule of rates for the cost of Insurance the American experience table of mortality, ha first been taken as a basis, " the actual ex perience of the various f Ufa companlea for the past (0 years haa then been taken into account and some allowance made for the difference as shown between the theoretical and actual workings of those elements entering into toe cost or nre Insurance. For instance, tbe average actual death rate of some M leading com panies has been, less than 90 per cent of the expected, ahowlng that the Uvea In sured have been continued Leyond the expectation as based upon the mortality tables. " Actual experience also shows, the. lapse element to play an Important, part In the experience of every company, lapses securing much more frequently than deaths. This feature la la direct variance with the theory of most life insurance actuaries, they holding that it la unsafe to allow for lapses, with only 10 per cent extension of the mortality tables, so aa to be safely within the limits, and a -slight allowance for ac cumulation from lapsed policies, the rates charaed by the Columbia ure at irusr oompany are sufficient, after deducting the - portion allotted lor expenses,- 10 equal the face of the policy when com- nounded at per cent aunng ino aver age lifetime of the Insured. The com pany operates only in Oregon, waan ington and Idaho, -'which territory -is recognised as being the most healthful In tbe world. . Its investments are made largely In first mortgage loans In this locality, and there can be no question of the success of the oompany.
