General Atkinson on navlng hi atten
tlon called to an interview o the of.
Ulcere of the Faclflo Livestock assocla
. tlon of Spokane, made the following
statement:
"All mattera relating to the lnsur-
ance department have generally been
aeslrnj to my assistant, A. 3. Falknor.
hare no Intention of modifying
r reversing' any opinion given by him
relative to an assessment attempted to
be made upon the policyholders of the
Pacific Livestock association. I have
Independently looked Into the law rela
tive to such assessment and the by-laws
" of such association Incorporated In the
policy.
"In the policies Issued by the associa
tion Is an express provision that ths
policy holder, after payment of the stip
ulated premium, should not be under
any further obligations whatever. The
law provides that the trustees may by
by-laws so limit the liability, of Its
policy holders.
Too Xte to fores a Dig Vow.
"The trustees having passed such a
by-law and the same having been sol-i
raruy Incorporated In their policy. It
would be little short of fraud for the
company, thereafter In violation of such
express provision of the policy to at
tempt to levy against the policy hold
ers an assessment to meet the unpaid
losses of the company. '
"It Is unfortunate If the premiums
collected by the company have not been
carefully preserved so as to meet the
losses. But having failed so to pre
serve them the company ought not now
to be permitted, in violation of the ex
press provisions of its policies, to com
pel the poller holders to dig up for
unpaid losses."
' As to the question of ths appointment
of the. receiver, the . attorney-general
stated that In view of the cancellation
of the certificate by the insurance com?
mlssloner on the . ground of lnsol vescy,
he sees no reason why any creditor of
ths concern oould not, or nis own mo
tion, bring about ths appointment of a
receiver, ,: , , J ;'-!. ,

(Special Diapatca to Tit Journal.)
Spokane, Wash., Aug. 26. One of the
most wonderful phenomena of Its class
is to be found at the little town of
Thompson. Falls, Just over the Idaho
line in Montana. The people of that
town have no refigeratora and dig
holes in the ground to get their ice.
Cold currents of air are found at a dis
tance of 40 feet below the surface and
the merchants have it piped into their
stores and the residents into ineir
houses.
Behind the stores are little chicken
coop sort of buildings, in which are the
wells that yield the cold air. These
wells are wejl padded the year round,
so the residents assert, lest the pumps
freese. Those too poor to dig wells have
but to put in pipes and buy cold air
from those who have it.
Naturalists can give no reason for the
unusual phenomenon. Some claim that
deposits of ammonia come in contact
with water, while others say the prox
imity of the falls is the cause.
