Upon our table lie three little tults of clover, the pearly dew still glistening in Sristine freshness on their glossy groen. toe has four leaves, another five 'leaves, and the third seven. If, as tho old legend hath it, the possession of a four-leaved clover insures luck to tho possessor, then surely no harm can befall the reporter for one twenty-four hours at least. Two of the Oregon grain fleet have been ordered from Queenstown to Alton a to discharge. This is is a new port for discharging. It is situated in Holstein, Prussia, on the right bank of the river Elbe, a little below Hamburg, and is ac cessible to sea going vessels. In I87f it had a population of 3i,097. The town has extensive refineries, works and brew eries. Oregonian, 7. The skiea that flush in crimson splen dor above the fir-crowned hills wero radi ant yesterday with the rose and purple tints of May; the white sails of the river fleet glittered in sunshine and dimmed in shadow on the water.

Whnt That Delegation To Do. , The arrival of the Wide West ostcr 15p j day uilh homo of Portland's Jluldooas I uboaid, gavo rise to considerable discus sion ns to the object of the visit. I i.u ciuiiii si uauc io mo nuinuitiicitv j ' X --.. T . ., ,. .... 1 of tho followintj, bat it is a near correct j as some othor Mftteinoutsaud is giren for j what it H v.ortb. It seems that thenc l'orl U ml gentlemen propose io drhe a row uf piles just abicast of Tonijiio l'oiut and deflect tho current so as to scoop out a channel where now ar the middlo sands, and by anchoring tho Jl'ut! Wnliu abicnst of John Ih'vlin's. and keeping the propeller going at the rate of ninety revolutions a minute, the idea is conceived that channel three miles wide and 117 feet deep will be made and maintained. The canneries nbovo Johausftfs are all to be bought and on their present sites are to bs built mormons warehouses and ele vators foratoririg grain and loading it on outward bound es-te!a. On Tongue Poir.t is to be built a lighthouse with a revolving whitt flash licht soventeen times a second for the benefit of all un fortunate craft that stray inland. In Aldorbrook and its- sdditions are io be built solid rows of eoitases ".ritb 7J fnut streets bt-tweeu for the ::c comodHtiOii of j the eniplo. es of the docks and Homing mill; to bo built at that point, 'ihe roadway to upper Astoria 1-. to 1j re moved and a sjiricieMS eauevtaj lie budt on the hill ioath of the line of beach. Pix-eetly in fn.ut of the Astoria gssiiyht conipnnV-J wotks is to JK. a fi'.ir-oiy brick building, 151 li.."., in which will lie the olllces of the company, l'im new O. 11. & N, dock will be retained for its pres ent purpose, with the evci-ption that the west VSt feet .sill !e set :-ide lor .he handling of freight on the China steam- era arriving weekly from lloni' ivon", This department v. ill bp in charc?o of Fred. Hewitt. On the Aouth s:dc of ihe dock the river traffic will ho concentrut-d, the coal bunkers being extended 37 leot fai ther eastward to accomodate inerejising de in and. Ther.- in a wild minor ai'ojd that Squenioqua and Main i.ret aie to bo inipiovcdnnd a .Sewer built, but that 1. beyond all belief: tho idea probably aroso from, the sight of Henry I ailing holding his noso as ho walked down Main street yesterday morning, and Mi. C'orbett's piteous appeal for a "mouthful of frch air" at the same lime and place. Jn the city proper a forco of men is to b- immediately put io work to grade tho hills south of tho rity, a portion of tho material removed to Iks used in filling under the present building sites and the remainder carled oier to tho Young's river side so as to equalize ihe thing. It is calculated that a good deal of this detritus can be used as ballast on tho line of railroad from Columbia city after tho road-bod is graded as far as the old saw-mill, it being the idea to bring the road around that v. ay and forma junc tion with the Astoria and Forest Grove, railroad in n grand Cnion depot to bo built about v. hero Carrot hots' milk ranch is on the western extremity of Smith's Point. After the grading is finished, the Astoria street railway comjiauy is to lay a single track railway " Main and Gene vieve streets, running from the Colum bia to Young's river, it being the inten tion to have tdl through trains .stop at theso .stations for the convenience of citizens residing in that part of tho city. It has been suggested that in grading the hills and filling np the present marshes and fiog ponds, it might be well to bulkhead the Columbia rier water f ront,but as it doesn't make any dif ference whether theelnmiBlinfronf ofthe city fills np or not, this will probably bo not worth whilo to discuss. A viaduct is to be built as a continuation of Wall street to Smith's Point nt the place where the Grand Lnion Depot is to be built. From this the Clatsop road is to extend south by west half quill to tho "highlands," and built in such a manner as to admit the travel of ordinary stieet cars of the same guago as those that ura to travese Squemoqua. Chenamus uud Jefferson Htreets from Unionl own to the new village to bo built on the bay just east of Tongue Point. The dock yard, dry dock and ship building headquattcra which have long been in contemplation are finally located at a point directly oppodte the Chinese gardens on Young's bay. The plans for these are on the most elaborate scale. Contracts for lumbei'hhve not yel been let, but w lien the dock is built, due no tice will be gien intending bidder.-. Suprenant irFoigusou got tho contract to drive 113,1109 piles duo east of Sand Island as a breakn uter. and ::s soon as the foundation of the Portland hotel is placed on thr islttud, a soasido lesorL will bo built equal ing in size and style tho famous hotel Del Monte of Montoroy.The.'lu.s'tom and Wide West will mate daily trips side by side down the river, leaving Port land at (i o'clock and landing seaside travelers nt Sand Island at noon, faro for the round trip twenty-livo cents, and no extra charge for baggage. A liberal supply of boats will be at the dis posal of guests and all salmon caught by visitors will be purchased by tho hotel management. An immense refrigeratory will lie constructed on tho lower end of the island, plans and specifi cations are now being drawn for the erec tion of artificial ice work"; the salmon as fast as caught will be instantly frozen and shot through a submarine, pneumatic tube to Smith's point, from wheuce they will be convoyed by lightning trains in cars specially built, io Portland, Walla Walla, and tho Ccenr d'Alcue mines. The probable cost of the proposed im provement s aggregates $14,787,305.21, and work will begin ns soon as 40 per cent of this amount is subscribed by tho pro jectors. rrfclnctilectlntr.

Krall) Tropo j MartHai: Secret of tho Bublneis Comblit ' tlODu for Protection. "Art- lifo insurance companies fre quently the victims of fraud?' was asked I of a prominent insurance man novr in the city. 'They are victims every day, and vic tiniH of tho deepest laid, most. ingenious and I together impenetrable fraud ima ginable. They havo been cheated ont of hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is for that raasou that they purpose to ask the legislature to come to their aid. Tho subject was thoroughly discussed some time ago at a private met'ting of repre-s-ntath&s of pome of the grtiatt life in surance compaiues in the country. It dccWed to iuerst lmm? j in tbe moTement and then take decisive steps to secure the requisite legislation. We na.d protection, and the bu?incs3 of life insurance hos become so great that its interests aro the interests of the peo ple, and no law maker can afford to nneeze at its just daraends." "What Las brought about The move ment fltjthis particular time?" "fK eillmsgrort'n so lur-e tti..l we cm no longer bear it in -i!c-uce. a mure immediate cause would perhaix le found in the fact that m v-onllh, corj.Tulioa-j liNYe rocjiiliy lieen defrauded in -hewo-it out.-j't-yus manner. I'he story wa-. tSd at the sueetiug of insurant;.; men. "A man b:d his life innured in e.ioa f the li..- companies for 3H1MW). H.- was Gung, robust, the p-flttre t" health. The risk i regarded as iir-u-vln-. I'hu prciiiintio r.-re sill iad through no agent. Three veekH to a da after the receipt of tho money had been -acknowledged the insured ci.tnu huirtedl", into the ag.'iitiolhc. "I wish to sea ou in private," hesuid. lie was shoMi into a, back l!ce. The agent asked to be eieii-k-d a iitoment, as h. wis about liuiHliing a letter. " 'Stop where you :ire. -aid tiit- visitor, rif-hl in the middle of a word, if it 1h so 1 have MMuetliing to tU you that ou must laar instuutly.' " 'Indeed! cried the puziled agent; 'what is itr" " this, I am :i murderer. "The agent started back-ward as if ho had been struck. " 'Don't got excitod," said the visitor. 'Don't attempt to do :iu thing thnt you are probably thin Ling ot doiii. He ofilm; let me talk to you in n business spirit. This man w honi I killed I hated. Ho was the destroyer of my home, of my peace of mind. On tho day on which you unformed :ne that all preliminary re quisites had been complied with and that m life was worth $120,000 to fivo great companies I bought nud loaded a revolv er. I hunted for my enemy from that moment until half an hour ago, when I hhot him dead. I luno managed to reach this place, but ever instant I expect to be arrested. Now to tho point. Mypolioy is in favor of my wife. 1 hate her, but she will do for (his case. If 1 die .she mnst get the 120,000 there is nothing in any of the policies to prevent it and die I surely shall unless a legal techni cality cau'savc me. My five insurance companion must procure nio counsel capa ble of finding and sustaining such a technicality. If my companies will not they can see rae hanged and pay for it. Now you understand. Act ns quickly as on please.' 'What was the re-.nU?'' asked tho re porter. "Tho rc-ult Ma-..'" Mr. replied, "that that murderer had the best legal talent io bo had for money, was ouh con victed of manslaughter and let go with a fow years' imprisonment, and tho com pniiics saved thoir S120.OO0, less lawyers' fees. That was an extraordinary caso, but it shows tho range of possibilities and helps to illustrate how urgent is our need of protection against villainous frauds." "There is no doubt that insurance com panies suffer greatly by reason of fraud ulent schemes," remarked another insur ance agent. "It any means could bo de vised of ovcrcoming'them a great good would be accomplished. Some compan ies now, it is trus, do not stipuluto that suicide shall vitiate a policy. Eut een the companies that do make' such a con dition often havo to pay for deatlis where there is every leason to believ& rhcy weie sdf intliokd. The ingenuity tho't some peoplo display in taking their own lives in such a way as to cover up the rvidences of suicide is wonderful. Some men have a dread of long hickness and bring about their end in a quick and quiet way and with such skill that while we may le morally certain of suicide it is nearly impossible to leg&llv prove it. Apoplexy and heart trouble "arc some limes ued as shields for the memory of men who. being predisposed to thee dis orders and being tired of life, deliber ately briug about tho conditions that superinduce, thpm and iwtss out of the world self-slaughtered, but vot retaining a decent reputation, and, 1 uioy add, lcao their heirs an indisputable right to their lifo insurance money. Yet any fair minded man can spo that" in such 'eases the companies are simply swindled." '"Oh! yes, tho life insurance companies had better apply for additional legisla tion," a lawyer who reoently had a suit on behalf of a widow against a comxiany and lost it on a narrow technicality that the counsel for the company raised. "They had better apply right off," he continued, ironically. "Thoy haven't got enough. Theie is still a chance that some of them may be made to pay a pol icy or two. Theylmo got no end of money, so 1 suppose thev can get all the legislation they want. "Thoy talk about swindling. They moke me tired. Anyone who can get the better of them almost deserves allhe ob tains for beating them at their own game. Oh! of course thoro are "lots of honeBt companies, I suppose, but they are not the grumbling ones. If they get nipped they jiay their losses and say nothing about them.. And let mo say 1 have not seen a comp.mv yet that had any well-grounded suspicion that they were defrauded that didn't make u fioht in the courts. It would be fraud from the beginning, and the poliov would be void. "ii anyone should, by jumping into a hot bath immediately after a heavy meal, bring on apoplexy, his policv would ln "vitiated if it could bu tdiown that it was aono purposely nna with suicidal intent. Of course that would bo hard to show. I can't imogine how anyone nt all likely to be bothered with his heart could be come insured. I sometimes think that everyone who mauoges to procure a pol icy on his life is bound eitherto bo blown up or dio of old age. Yoa have probably seen tho list of questions that von aro compelled to trmhfullv answer? Thov embrace everythine. If vou si n n them you are beyond all question as solid as on Egyptian pyramid. But to mako assurance- doubly suro von must tumit yourself to bo thumped "and punched bv mu wiuijmuj ni'Mjmemu. .men, ii vou aie before giving the company a chance to make three times the amount of your pol icy out of you. it will be likoly to go into court and fight against payment. If your heirs aro willing ther company may com promise at 25 or 50 per cent. If not, there will go on n legal danco of three or four years' duration. And tho mmnnnv will show that you fraudulently neglected to mention in your application that twenty years ago you had n cough con clusive evidence of consumTitirm nmi that once, when you ran up to the top of a lighthouse, you wero badly oat of breath a suro sign of heart diseaso and that on several occasions, particu larly iue mornings atter tho meetings of your lodge, you complained of a swelling in your head an1 indication of hydro- ccphalaus. Oh, ves, some more Iotrialp tion is needed for lifo insurance compan ies. 1, is legislation to suorton 100 length of legal contests over policies, leg islation to induco them to honor their just contracts." Another man said that if it coald bo shown that a man had himself insured as a part of a plan of murdor his policy would bo void. If it could not bo madb clear and the man were hanged tho pol icy would have to ba honored. "My ex-' periencowith lifo insurance companies has been.I' he continued, "that as a rule, they fight every claim that thov suspect and have a phow of winning. It seems to mo that thero are more companioa than aro needed. Somo seem to be or ganized instruments of fraud and scarce' y over pay a claim in full. They go to ltw on all sorts of technicalities for no otter purpose than to bull -doze the beneficia ries into taking less than their due." - TICKS Of TIIK TKLEfiRAPH.
