0 Lebanon; Express.. H. Y. K1RKPATRICK. Kdltpr r. end - Proprietor INSURANCE WAR. An insurance rate war, Biich 8 CorvtxH'ts policy-holders never Baw. before, lias been waged iu this city since last Tuesday afternoon mid ljunl at-ents. figuratively speaking Sourish broken Bwords iu the air and drip with each other's gore. The fight began Thursday after noon right after two Bpeciul agents ' from abroad arrived in town, and it waxed warmer after the appear ance on the street the following morning of hundreds of copies ot two circulars signed by local agents of the FiremanV Fund and of the Phoenix and The Home, each .cir cular invitinc policy hiilueis to come and take out policies at their own terms. All the time the tele graph wire between this city and San Francisco iiava Iveeu kept hot with telegrams, and local agents sawed the air in impatieiuice be cause even the electric spark was too slow for the rushing business in hand. : The office of every local agent lias been besieged by clients d manding a reduction in their rates and a rebate on premiums liitli erto paid, and many agents who have not bceu prompt in meeting the cut rates have lost many clients altogether. It is probable thai before peace is declared that a half million dollurs of insurance will be written in Corvallis. One 1 ical agent hB already written nearly $200,000 and business grows better hb each day rolls j-ouiid.. The amazing low rates given by the different companies demonstrate how very hitter has been the fight. The public school building, for instance, was insured Friday by the directors for $ 13,000 for a term of three years. The to tal premium paid for the three years was $39. The regulur rnte hitherto paid would have made the premium $390, making the amount saved by the directors $351, and to make the deal stronger the com panies issued n policy that cannot be cancelled. The policies were written bv the Phoenix for $7,000 and the Home I6,UJ0. The cornty court house was also reinsured at an astodshing'v low rate. The 'amount v. as 35,000, and the term was for three years. At the old rate the premium would have cost the tax payers $770; at the cut rate the $35,000 placed on the building for three years Saturday cost, be fides a small amount due nn'tmex pired policies, $53.90, a saving of over $700. The policies arc in the North British Mercantile, $10,000, Phoenix, $10,000 and the . Home, $12,000 and they cannot be can celled. A businessman held three policies, expiring in ten, three and two months. The policies now ag gregate the same amount, are for veers, and the business man ha been paid by bis company $2.50 in cash. It will probably be a life time before insurance is attain bo cheap in Corvallis, and the policy bolder who fails now to make a deal will stand in his own light. Times.. Ihe Astonan's salmon report ''says: ..'.iNevwih. the salmon busi ness -have" caiflierymon experienced such a remarkable slackness iu the run of fish as has been apparent duMng the past two weeks, taking into coiHSuieratNWHtlieisot that or. dinarily this should be the busiest ot the whole season. --- The quality continues excellent, but the average weight has been pulled down some what, on account of the slight in crease in sm .Il blueblack catches. and now runs about twenty-five pounds. Ihe extraordinary short age in hluebacks has had the effect of etitroning their price per case perceptibly, and they are now quoted from $1.30 to $1.82 per case." - That betting is the life and soul of h. wire racing wus proved by the absence of intercstfrom yesterday's proceedings at Irrington Park. On account of a dispute between the management of the track mid the lessee of the pool-selling privilege there was no public betting, and as a consequence the rsces were at tended by about ns much enthus iasm as usually pertains to a fun eral. The obscene letter cas of En jene is not over yet, Disctric At torney Murphy, of Portland, lmt received a hot anonymous letter from Eugene giving him fits for permiting Miss Berger to be dis charged confirming her innocence. it is to be hoped the right party is secured, for of all scoundrels in the world the worst is the writer of I anonymous letters.
