Iteames introduced a bill which hart been reported favorably by the judic iary committee nnd uhich will be vot ed upon by the limine probably today And it will, no doubt, become u law. Tills bill amend section 7348 of the code. Under the old law if a man died without leuvinj; a will or'inakiux ti'Mnuieutury disposition of his pro pcrty, it descended, first, to the chil dren and, if there were none, then to he husband or wife, us the case might be, and, if there were no chil dren, nor husband, nor wife, then the proerfy went to the father to the exclusion of tlt mother; and, if there was no father, then the proper ty went one-half to tbe mother nnd one-half to thu brothers and sfctera.

WHATEVER cluuiROs the now administration makes, it is to be hoped that the public market will bo left undisturbed under the present management. The market hag bo,tm au unqualified success and has materially redwood the cost of ljviiur in Medford as well as helped the farmer market his produce. The first year was, of course the most trying time, for it wtis necessary to do a great deal of skirmishing to keep a proper supply of produce, on hand. The success of the market is due in no small degree to the efficient management given by Markotmastor Runypn. In Other hands, it nu'glithavc been a failure. lie has however, made t popular vjth both producer and consumer. . t , great moment to the community that it should not be made a political loot ball to be kicked about as a reward lor political services. Mayor Eifc,rt will male a popular paw to leave the market as it is. IMPROVE HOSPITAL EOAD. THE attention qC .municipal authorities is respectfully called to tlio condition ot! tho road from Main street to the Sacred Heart hospital which is practically im passible at this season of, the year. The hospital is one of our most worthy, perhaps the most worthv of our institutions. Since itsestablishmcnt, none of the afflicted have ever been turned awav. At the present time, and this is no cent or more oL the patients . Humanitarian considerations,, tho necessity of prompt service for the ill, the inconvenience and danger ot delay, the actual hardship involved for till copcerned, makes a good highway necessary. , The hosiital sisters have already made a very large invpstment. The hospital is operated at an actual loss, so That it is out of the question for them to undertake to con struct this road. The city should do it the cost is comparatively trif ling, and the benefits to be derived great. There is no good reason why the city shouldn't do it, and do it at once. Consolidation, Not Supervision, Is Solution of County School Problem Judge Ton Velio hns received the following letter on the school situa situa teon: Dear Sir: I hnve rend with great iuterest tho dUcussion in the Med- ford pajiers on the Mibject of "Cot of Supervi-don" 'of (be i-ohooU of the county. Would herebiMeiider yon a few words of npproval of the stand you take. The county superintendent with his assistants arc evidently looking nut for their own jobs but think they cuii do the county more good in the caMcity of teachers in the rural district;. The system as advocated by the county school board ha in evr the improvement of tho rural school but this w directly opposed to the actual trend ns shown by the eateni states.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, exception to the rule, sixty per are cared for and treated 1 roe, uatcd iu the center "of the township will fill all requirement nnd be patronized by tho wealthy as well as bv the jsior. The M'honl house built last summer between (Vulnil I'oiut nnd Medford may be n-ed us au example. A number of pupils residing iu this district will pass this new kcIiooI nnd attend Medford or Central Point schools for the reason of better ef ficiency and better grading. Now would it' hot' he economy for nil the scholars to be token by a conveyance to a central school. It is a matter of fact that in all eastern states school nre being con solidated, and JnckMin county will fall in line sooner or later. The parcels post was opposed by many people yet it already have be come iKipulnr, the same will hold good iu regard to rural schools as oposcd to consolidated township whools.

The Relation of Insurance to the Development of a Great State , '- Written for the Dlilly Mall Tribune by Col. K. llofor, IMItor of Tho Oregon Man ufueturur. No great city Was eer built up without becoming the homo of ouo or more great Ufa lnsuranco enmpn nlos. This Is true of Now York, Philadelphia, Chicago. Milwaukee mid Portland. Tho money annually sent out of Oregon for life lnsuranco amounts to $2,500,000. This stream of wealth was never even checked until tho Oregon I.tfo lusuraueo company was organized nt Portland fuen years ago, and which now lias over six million dollars Millrles Iu forco, with total death I(kis In seven years of only $rG.CG3. No such record of death losses, none of them due to climatic conditions, was ever made by any Insurance company In tho world, and proves that Ore gon has a wonderfully healthful cli mate, as well as careful selection of risks by tho company referred to. Yet our people go on sending out of the statn two and a half million dol lars annually for what they can fur nish bettor hero at homo than any where In tho world. The wonderful record of Oregon Llfo Is being duplicated by tho Pa cific States Fire Insurance company of Portland. As no great financial centers can ho built up without well managed life Insurance companies, no great state can bo developed with out successful flro Insurnnro organ izations. Ono of tho greatest assets of states llko Iowa, Massachussctts, Connecticut nnd California aro their strong, well conducted tire lnsuranco companies According to tho Insur ance Commissioners' report Just pub lished Oregon Is sending away ten thousand dollars achworktng day In tho year for fire Insurance. Only about nlno per cent Is carried by home companies, and yet tho loss ratio of Oregon Is tho lowest at any stnto In the Union. All territory west of the Ilocky Mountains hns u low ratio of flro losses but Oregon Is tho lowest and hence a well-managed flro Insurance company In Ore gon must bo very profitable duo largely to a climate free from ox- County School Supervision There is but ono iMiiut iu County Judge F, R. Ton VcIIo'h reply to the countv educational hoard winch I deem needs answering, nnd Hint Is merely n matter of figures. Dy uu nerobntie feat in the uo of ligurcx he makes it appear that county su pervision cot J.iw per pupil en rolled. Ho arrives nt this estimate by dividing the total cost of school supervision, approximately !r"00(M)0 bv the number of nimils enrolled in thu two smallest of tho three super visory dist nets. Tho whole number of pupils enrolled in the county for lflll-12 wok ,7J:il. The amount spent for county supervision, including ex- peiixcH nnd clerk biro, wuh if 100,00, or n cost of 81) cents per citpitu. While districts of the tirst class (Medford mid Ashland) upt not in cluded iu cither of thu thmi super visory districts, tho county superin tendent has u Inrgu amount of work iu conncolimi with these Helmuts.

P. K. lleach, president and manager of tho Pacific Htutes Flro lnsuranco company has been u suc cessful business man In Oregon for forty enra. For tuonty years hn has been connected with tho lnsur anco business and ho has made n llfc-tnug study of thn financial sldo of thn flro InniinincK business. Like thn Oregon I.tfo. his company ro-ln w.its all the money put Into It In the Pacific northwest. The Pacific states has twclvo hundred stockholders all residing In tho Pacific northwest, while tho stockholders In Oregon Llfo aro nil residents of Oregon. In the conservation of tho wealth and tho resources of tho stalo and In building tho Ideal commonwealth and Its metropolis wo should pay so mo attention to these matters and be Just as careful about sending our money out of tho stnto for what wo can get better here, as wo would be about sending It to Africa or Asia where we might never seo It again. I cannot conceive of n better way to enrich tho statu than by keeping a larger volume of fire Insurance prem iums nt home, especially when the money thus accumulated Is put Into buildings llko tho new llnmell Hotel at Albany, or a fine steel building at Salem. This appeal Is made to Oregon people to stnml by Oregon In stitutions thatnro well managed nnd by men of tho highest class and stand ing In tho business community. There Is no Industry that accumulate wealth so rapidly as tho flro lnsur anco business, and ths record of The Pacific States Flro Insurance com pany Is so phenomenal Iu this re spect that tho most conservative citi zens are among Its clockholdcrs, and thu duty of Oregon people Is to cast their Influence after careful Investi gation on tho side of enterprises that build up nnd enrich tho state. pupils. Counting one-half of tho county superintendent's tune ns giv en to supervision, und oilier half to the administrative duties of his of fice, county supervising cost $1.27 per pupil, not counting limn for Med ford or Ashland, lint ewn by placing tho mo-1 liberal construction jiossihlc on tho teim "supervision," und count ing the whole cost ngainst tho three supervisory districts outside of Med ford and Ashland, the cost is hut 41.70 per pupil enrolled, Instead of :i.8.' ustnted bv Mr. Ton Velle. Mr. Ton Velle'n statement that I Aviih glad enough to hold tho office of county school superintendent for Iwo terms nt $1000.00 per year is simply another one of his errors, I held the officii for less than one term nt Unit salary.
