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.

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.
