School Population Has Increased, Double the I'snal Xiiinher of New 11oiims Iluve lleen Unlit nml ISiihI iies Hit Advanced All Alonir Ho fiitntlim of Saloon Men's Calamity Prediction. Two years ago when the local op tion vote was taken in different cities and counties throughout Oregon, It was predicted that where, local option carried business stagnation and finan cial depression would follow. In the old established towns where saloons had been conducted for many years It was especially pointed out that city governments could not he successfully carried on without li cense money. Property owners In cltk-s were alarmed at the prospect of empty houses and shattered busl- j new tvimivivii3 anu giriiviut uviiivi of fear ran over Oregon from center to clrcumferance. Corvallls, the ounty seat of Ben ton county, and the home of Oregon Agricultural college, was one of the many Important cities In the state to go "dry" and dire results were pre dicted by the saloon sympathizers. The following review of business for the past year will reassure the friends of the local option movement aud con- ; vlnce people that Oregon cities can j ue I'unuucieu suiiy unu inieiiiieiiiiy without saloon aid In any form. The Times says: The schjool population of Corvallls Increased nearly 23 per cent the past year, double the usual number of houses were built, the postal receipts increased 13 per cent, the railroad tonnage In and out Increased 33 1-3 per cent, and according to the annual report of President Johnson, of the Citizen's League, the volume of trade at the local business houses was greater by 10 to 100 per cent. Nat long ago people were told that If the town went dry, grass would grow In the streets, business would be ruined, people would move away, prices of property would collapse and calamity In general befall the place. Conditions prove the predictions to have been utterly and completely fal lacious, and remove the main argu ment upon which nntl-optionlsts rely for support of their contention. regardless of what the cause may have been, every citizen knows now, and no man will gainsay It, that Cor vallls did not suffer In a material way from local option, but on the con trary, since the town went dry It has become bljrger than ever before, and Is doing more business than ver be fore. SHOT HIMSELF THItOlGH LEG. Gnu Slipped While Keating Another Man Over the Head. Striking Charles Seaton over the head with the barrel of a 45 Colts revolver, Tom Platts, a well known mining man of Rye Valley, shot him self In the leg by accident shortly after 6 o'clock list night, says the Baker City Herald. The trouble, during which the shooting occurred, was the culmina tion of a personal quarrel which has been going on between Seaton and Piatt for the past month, the particu lars of which are "hot divulged by either party. As a result of the fight Seaton has a badly battered head and Piatt has a painful, but not seri ous bullet hole through his left leg below the knee. Yesterday afternoon Seaton, who was drinking rather heavily, called at the Pleasanton rooming house on Washington street nnd informed Mrs. Piatt, who is staying there with her husband, that he Intended to kill Tom Piatt before morning. When her husband returned home about 1 o'clock In the evening, Mrs. Piatt in formed Trim of the threat. Piatt armed himself with a 15 Colts revol ver determined that he would be a lively corpse if It came to a show down. ''let! A few minutes later Seaton came up In front of the Pleasanton and Piatt went forth to settle the trouble. He greeted Seaion by naylng: "I under stand you are looking for me." Sea ton replied that he was and plunged his hand Into his oiercoat pocket as though to draw a gun. Piatt was too fjulck for him, however, and whipping out his revolver ho placed his finger on the trigger so that he might de fend himself In case Seaton attempt ed to fire, he states, and struck Sea ton over the head with the barrel of the gun. The gun glanced from Sea tn's head and the force of the blow carried It down so It pointed directly at Piatt's leg Just below the knee, striking the bone and came out again about two Inches below. Piatt did not realize that he was shot and proceeded to continue his hammering of his adversary. He knocked him down and says that he would have given him the beating, which Piatt alleges be deserved, had not bystanders Interfered and taken the gun away from him.- Piatt then turned and went into the house, after which he discovered his wound for the first time.

LIFE INSURANCE. ft Early Straggles and Reverses la This Country. ' The origin of insurance In this coun try dates from 1752 and bad Its first beginning in Philadelphia. The first company was the Philadel phia Contrlbutionshlp For the Insur ance of Houses From Losses by Fire, ami its insignia was four clasped hands, which was its house badge. This mark may still be seen throughout eastern Pcnusylvnula and New Jersey on old time houses. The company survived till 1817. In 17!2 the first life Insur ance company ' was founded In the same city. It was called the Universal Tontine, The next year similar com panies were started In Boston and In New York. Its avowed aim was "for the purpose of raising a fund upon lives to be applied to charitable nud other uses." Its subscription books were opened on March 20, nud Ave general agents were appointed. Some business was done during the summer, but In November of that yenr a general meeting of the subscribers was called, and the Idea of a general Insurance company was suggested and met wjtji approval, the proposition was referred to n committee, and nt an adjourned meeting hold ot the state house on Nov. 12 It was resolved that "the Universal Tontine association be and Is hereby changed from Its original object and converted Into a society to be called the lusu.-ance Company of North America." Its first policy was Issued to John Maxwell Nesbltt, Its president, for $5,333.33. It wrote both fire and life Insurance, but paid atten tion chiefly to the former and gradual ly dropped life Insurance altogether. In January, 1794, It considered the policy of Insuring persons against cap ture by the Algerians and Insured Cap tain John Collet "on his person against Algerians and other Borbary corsairs In a voyage from Philadelphia to Lon don In the ship George Barclay, him self master, valuing himself at $5,000." The premium charged was 2 per cent Two similar policies were issued, but the premium was Increased to 5 per cent. Two similar policies were Is sued, npproved, one on the IlfB of John Holker, from June C to Sept. 19; for $24,000, at 14 per cent premium, and one on the life of Albert Brlote de Beau mez, for eighteen calendar months, In the sum of $5,000. The demand for Insurance on life was light, and the business, which was finally abandoned by the first company, was not revived until 1S20, when Hartford men took It op and kept It running tm It gained the great prosperity of modem times. The agricultural department makes the following estimate In bushels, of the grain crop of 1905 In the hands of the farmers March 1: Wheat, 158,403.000; corn, 1,108.000,000; oats, 379.805.000.
