GENERAL NEWS.
In the face of the promise of fie
board line fire Insurance companies
that Spokane would be favored soon
with a reduction of rates, upon the
completion of the water system, which
will be ready for operation juiy 10,
the statement of J. D. Coleman of
the Home Insurance company, that
the rates will be raised 25 per cent In
the next 30 days, comes as a disap
pointing surprise to the policy holders
In this city.
The crux of the company's conten
tion is that Spokane must come to Its
share of the rescue of the companies
that were hard hit by the San Fran
cisco disaster. Otherwise, says Mr.
Coleman, receivers will be the nr:t
thing In order for the fire Insurance
companies of the country.
The contemplated advance In rates
of 25 per cent will be a serious prop
osition when It 1 traced to the ulti
mate. It will, of course, hit every
home-owner. Insurance rates are al
ways figured by merchants as legltl
mate fixed charges against the opera
tion of their stores. A rise, therefore,
in Insurance rates would mean an
added cost In the operation of the
mercantile business and a correspond
ing rte in the Drlce of merchandise
-.i,i than this, it would
mean increased cost of owning Im
Droved real estate, resulting In a sea
son of high rents.
r iirtnnt Rates 40 Per Cent.
As evidence of the profitableness of
earning rlBka at far less than
nnt rates the Northwestern
fnai Fire association of Seattle has
entered this field with a promise of
saving Its policy holders 40 per cent
of the board rate premiums, in
rfrniar letter, sent to a large num
her of Drosnectlve risks in this city,
the company states that it collects a
cash payment upon the delivery of the
policy equal to one-half the annual
board rate, in six momns mm
pany will pay a cash dividend and
collect another semi-annual premium,
and so on throughout the term of the
policy, which, to save expense of re
newal. Is issued for a term of five
years, with a pro rata cancellation
clause which may be used at any time.
How It Savew Money,

Some Inquiry has been made of late
Into the liability assumed by the
policy holder when he pays a cash
nromium Into a mutual company. Ac
cording to the Northwestern Mutual
Fire association, the policy holder as
umn no liability whatever beyond

Th. rornnanv cites the opinion of the
attorney general's office upon the
subject. v The portion of the opinion
bearing upon that subject is as tor

"Our company," continues the cir
cular letter, "Is mutual only In the
sense that the policy holders own the
company and receive the profits. The
company is protected in the fact that
it collects In advance almost twice as
much as the amount needed for losses
and expenses, and should unusual
losses occur it would only affect the
amount of the dividend."
I ".arils n Surplus.
That this method of carrying fire
Insurance is profitable for the com
pany Is best known In the statement
of the Northwestern Mutual Fire as
sociation January 1. 1906. This
shows that after a period of five
years' existence the company had to
tal assets amounting to $316,4i8.04
and total liabilities of $34,437.S2. leav
ing net assets to the amount of $262,
020.22 and a net cash surplus of $47,
219.13. Losses paid for the year 1905
were $51,S"0.28, expenses $3T,09i.o.
or a total of $38,967.88. The cost of
the same Insurance In a stock com
pany at their annual rates would have
been $170,473.41. showing a net sav
ing to policy holders in the North
western of $81,505.58.
Still another feature, comparative
In Its nature, of this company s re
port is the statement that the com
blned gross assets of all American
stock companies reporting to the New
York Insurance department per $100
of Insurance are $1.03, while the as
sets of the Northwestern for each
$100 are $2.35.
January-, 1902, the Northwestern
showed a total saving up to date, as
compared with annual board rates,
with outstanding Insurance amounting
to about $1,500,000 of $3,924.96
This saving kept Increasing year by
year In the proportion that the out
standing Insurance Increased, so that
January 1. 1906, the Insurance in force
was $13,471,570, while the savings to
the policy holders had Increased to
over $250,000.
Takes Limited Risks.
The Northwestern claims that It
will accent only a limited number of
risks In each city and that In Seattle,
where It has the largest number of
policies In force. It would not be era
barrassed were the conflagaration of
1889 to be repeated. In such an
event, the company says, it would
only consume about one-fourth of lti
assets. '
The board companies In raisin
rates seem to be striving to protect
their stockholders pocketbooks at th
ernense of the holders of Insurance
policies.

The prediction that dirt would be

S. Gordon, chief engineer or the
road, tells The Dalles Chronicle that
President W. F. Nelson sent a force
of 30 men, with 12 teams, out to the
mouth of the Des Chutes river last
week to begin work on the grade.

Mr. Gordon says the grade is an
easv one, equaling the north bank
grnde In this respect, and Is the only
easv grade connecting the southern
transcontinental lines with the north

With the exception of a very few
cases, right of way has been secured
and work will be pushed as rapidly
as possible. It Is, however, Impossl

there Is no tunneling to be done, the

to Bo In Pltinhlo Condltton.
In speaking of tl.e mental condition
of Norman Cook, who Is confined in
Jail at Lewlston, and who Is under the
hypnotic Influence of P. Hnussler, the
absconding Pendleton photographer.
the Lewlston Tribune says:
Yesterday County Physician Hurl-
but was called to the county Jail to
visit Norman Cook, the man who Is
charged with perjury In connection
with the Fuller case. Cook Is said to
be In a pitinrl condition, both physi
cally and mentally. Dr. Hurlbut spent
some time with the mnn,-but stated
last night he was not prepared to
make a statement as to the case. A
further examination will be made by
Dr. Hurlbut today and It Is said the
test will apply to Cook's sanity.
Cook Is a man of light physltiue
and he has noticeably failed since be
Inir confined In Jail. An emaciated
fare Indicates that he might be sur
fertng from lung trouble. His con
versation and talk also at nil times Is
disconnected and contradictory and.
he does not appear to remember
faces.
Interest In the man's ense was
aroused In his announcement after
his arrest, thnt his action In the Fuller
case were due to a mesmeric or hyp
notic Influence exercised over him by
P. Haussler, who was also charged
with Cook of conspiracy to extort
mono from young Faller by bringing
charge against him. Cook has
urged from the outset of his arrest
that physicians Investigate his case.
