" i ' t Tb board of fire underwriters of the Pacific coast has adopted a new system of rating insurance premiums which will be put in force in all towns of the coast. The new' system is a perfection of what is called the mer cantile system. A result of this adop tion will be a reduction "of premiums and a general readjustment of rates. The idea is advanced that premiums may be lessened by remedying matters of bazzard, and - certain precautions taken by householders may lead to a promised decrease In the premiums Pendleton merchants have .rood rea son to feei as tbaukfu! as the farmers for the bountiful harvest which is bringing the shekels to Umatilla county, says the Tribune.

Were the Authorities Justified In I'slnr force at Latimer? The first reports published of tbe unfortunate occurrence at Latimer, Pa., on the 10h, indicated that the deputy sheriffs were justified in firing upon the marching strikers. Sheriff Martin made a statement that he was assaulted by the leader of the moo.and ordered bis deputies to fire only when it was necessary. In speaking of the occiiFf en.e Jie said: ' i'his is an unfortunate affair, but I think 99 men out of 100 wpulj .bave done just as I did. Now that the crisis has been reached, I don't propose to shirk my duly. Some say my action was premature. I bad been parleying with the mob for four days. They were gradually getting the 'ftest of the situation and I think In 24 bouFS more things would have been worse." As the matter is more fully invest! gated it appeaf s that f be officers acted hastily, to say the least, and .here are some indications that tlfo strikers ytp.e led Into a trap, and were murdered. Dr. Lewandowfrky, representing; the Po'iish spcieiies pf New York, is at Lttlmsr collecting evidence connected with tb affair ag) jjas secured the af fi lavits of ft number of mine ho frere witnesses to the tragedy that, throws n w light upon tbe events of that ter rible dav- They declare In substance . - mornin(r of that 3ay a met. senger arrived af Harwood and asked the foreigners to etja to kyimer. as the employes of colliery No. 1 at that place were about to strike. Later a second message to the same effect ar rived, and then the men started over to Latimer. At the Hazel colliery, so the affidavit continue, herMT Marn I i i ii) f ' f ! met them and warued them not to I cm t.liriincrli II7.tlLoii. but to U" around the other way. They dUl w. but, arriving at the fatal bend in the road near Latimer, ttiey -again found themselves confronted by-the sheriff. this time backed up by an uriny of dnputie. As soon a they reached the spot, it is declared. Sheriff Martin stepped out and roughly grabbed the foremost man bv thu coat, collar. With 'Id other Iniid hi th.-ut a revuive mio uia fa-o ami use.l abortive lan guage. The miner kuocked tho sheriff's revolver from in front of hia fa je and tried lo wrench himsolf from the official's grasp. Almost instantly, the ufSJ'irii. s.-iys. the order to lire was iiVHii fhn .leputii; vere lined up in a hollo- -t,iare. the fourth side of which was for .ied by the body of strikers. This wouid probably ac count for the fact ihat so many wero shot in the back and side. In the office of the Lehigh Traction Compauy is a brown cu'away coat which one of the men now dead wore on Friday last. There aro three bullet holes iu it. In an insidei porket was found a cheat 32-coliber Imlldog re volver. This had not been used in the riot, because the chambers" contained neither empty nor loaded shells, and it could not have been fi -ed before the owner was shot, because lie would have had no timo to unload it. It is es tablished that this is the only weapon found in the. who'e mob of miners, and indicates that the first shot could not have been fired from thir side. There were three companies of deputies, and one of these was made up of men who had served as mine police in the past and had much trouble with the strik ers on previous occasions, and were said to be in a revengeful mood against them.

The following is an extract from a pamphlet gotten up by the Pennsyl vania C. E., describing their itinerary, and it is interesting to note what they say of the irrepressible Capt. Waud. "A trip up the Columbia river was on the program for Monday, and by 9 o'clock we had embarked on the Steamer Regulator. Orrin S. Waud. captain, is as good natured and accomo dating a man as even sailed a beat. The Northeastern Pennsylvania ladies seemed to have captured the captain's i heart or mavbe it was bis ordinary every day good nature which prompted ; him to turn his private cabin over to ! the party for their exclusive use on I this trip, with all its pharaphenalia a kindness that was doubly acceptable owing to the crowded condition of the vessel. The ride occupied a greater portion of tbe day. At the junction tf the rivers stands a small light house, the establishment of which was gravely reported by our genial captain as due to an accident wl.ich had occurred at this point. Eagerness was depicted on the faces, of all in the party, and our excursion manager the one from Pittsburg, be it known to all could not resist asking for details. He then learned that it was here that tbe Will amette ran into tbe Columbia, where upon the excursion manager at once made it his business to see that his friends were made acquainted with tbe direful calamity. , The captain was very careful to comolete bis story and to remark that the damage was Blight and nobody was hurt."

Most or the preliminary arrange. ments for tbe district fair to be held here commencing on October 12th and continuing five days, bave been com pleted. Tbe premium li9ts have beeu printed and are reauy for use, the ap propriation of $1500 from the state available, and tbe officers of the assoc iation are ready to take hold the mat ter in leal earnest. Farmers through out the district are more than anxious to make exhibits of their various pro. ducts, and there is every lodicatio that tbe pavillion will present a better exhibit this season than ' ever before. As the state -appropriation is available only for premiums, it will be necessary in order to have a racing season con nee ted with the fair, that The Dalles shall hang liberal purses for trials speed. It is hoped that $1200 can be raised for this purpose, as in this case the association can hang from $1500 to $1800 in purses, which would attract tract large numbers of the best horses on the coast to compete for the purses.

Run ning down Court street it got mixed up witn tne railroad lra3K on f irst street and wrecked one hind wheel of the buggy. From there 'the animal took several turns around town, being given the exclusive right-of-way through the streets, and finally headed for the country, coing out over the Fourth street bridge, down the lower road,' and 'landed In a clump of bru-h peaf'the high trestle five miles below town. ' A'tW damage done was tbe breaking of one wheel and a few straps on the harness. Wheat and freight. There are some unaccountable tl jngs connected with the wheat mar ket bere and at Pqrtl ind.

At the last session of the grand lodge. A.O. L'. W., there was adopted what is kuov.-n as the classified assess ment plan, dividing the membership into-groups or classes of live years each and charging each class the mor talitv rates of its class, bistd upon the American expectancy tables. The membership advancing from one class to the other until they reach their fiftieth birthday when the rate remains level thereafter, giving protection at current cost. The Oregon grand lod also provided for reducing the number of assessments uoon members over fifiy years of age who have bten con tinuousiy in the order for twenty yeara thereby reducing the cost to the old man when his earning power de creases. This plan was evolved after much thought, covering; months of careful deliberation by some of the brightest minds in the Uoited States There were fiftv-four deaths in Oregon last year, calling, for $108,000, Had the classified plan been in force seven assessments would I axe pro. duced $109,960, which would Lave paid the deaths end left over $1,600 In the treasury. The cost per thousand dol lars would have been as follows: Ages 18 to 24 $ 4 20 per annum " 25 ' 2't 4 55 " " " " 30 " 34 5 04 " 35 ' 3!) 5 81 " " " 40 " 44 7 07 "' " 45 " 49 9 17 " " " 50 and over, 12 4 " " And this after the Oregon grand lodge has been doing business for nearly twenty years, which speaks volume? for tbe care that has been ex ercised in the risks that have been taken. Under the new plan a renewal of interest can be seen iu tie lodges and at Tillamook where the grand lecturer of the order has just visited, fifteen new applications were received, ages ranging from 19 to 43 years. This plan is a radical departure from the beaten paths of co-operati ve organ i zations, and the result will be watched with interest by all. Fourteen grand jurisdictions have already adopted this plan and the results are eminently satisfactory, California initiating over 4,000 men in the last year, the average age of which was 29 years, and New York running into the thousands with an average ase of 28 years. The A. O. LVW. has the largest membership of any secret society in Oregon and we will endeavor to give our readers tbe result of the change from time to time as tbe work goes on. COMPLIMENTARY TO THE DALLES A Railroad Man Gives Oar City m Good finaie. General Agent Wm. Harder, of the Great Northern, was in Portland lust Saturday after a visit to the Inland Empire, and in speaking of his trip to an Oregonian reporter, pas-ed some very happy compliments upon Tbe Dalles. Among other things he said: "At The Dalles everything Is hum ming, all the merchants are busy ship ping goods in all directions by team into the interior. Farmers and ranch ers are pouring into the place with wheat, which they readily dispose of at 80 cents a bushel. Wool shipment have b33n. going East for . several weeks, all the buyers having purchased their quota and left for home. W. E. Jones, partner of the firm of Hollowell &Donall, in B3ston, is tho largest shipper, and Is still grading and baling, his output amounting to over 2,000,000 pounds, he expects to finish iu about 10 days. "Tbe D-ilies Commis-ion Company bas shippeu a large quantity of green fruit, which has realized good prices in the East. Considerable cattle and sheep traffic has been going on all summer, but during the next' two months ranchers and stockmen expect to make very heavy fall shipments to Kansas City and Chicago. Portland and tbe sound cities also draw their supplies of cattle and sheep from this section. Hogs are very sc.trce in Ore gon and Washington. Prices of all kinds of livestock have advanced in sympathy with all other commodities, and stockraisers feel very comfortable over tbe prices tbey now realize as compared with those of a year ago. "Fall salmon-picking has also begun at The Dalles. Mr. F. A. Seufert started bis fish wheels on tbe morning of the 10th, and in Jess than 24 hours he had secured over 30 tons of silver- side salmon. He reports the Columbia teeming with nsh. and expects to put up many thousand cases. 'The Dalles is a smart city, being the distributing point for a vast terri tory in all directions. Its merchants are a live and progressive lot of men, fully determined to make their city an important commercial certer, and with every indication of success." Prof. w. H.

Salomon won $100.00 each because they sent the most yellow tickets before June 15th. But grocers and clerks can get more tickets than other consumers; so we also paid $10000 each to the two persons named below: Mrs. Wm. Funk, Winnemueca, Nevada, 132 tickets. Mrs. L. During, 819 Bryant Street, San Francisco, 72 tickets. Mrs. During got a number of friends in San Francisco and near by (one keeps a boarding house) to give her their tickets; and she used the tea herself. By the way, she uses Schilling 's Best baking powder and extracts too bad she doesn't know how good Schillings Best spices are! But she says the extracts and baking powder are wonderful. A woman in Stockton, who keeps a restaurant, came very near getting a prize. She deserves one for supplying her customers such good tea. Better read our advertisements every day some contain suggestions how to win the prize. By the way, grocers can't compete for the two $150.00 prizes oflered for tha most yellow tickets in one envelope between June 15th ad August 31st. They can, however, compete for the fioo.oo prize.
