Insurance &uif

An interesting insurance case has lust
been tried at Cincinnati. 1t will be re-
membered that year ago a terrible ex-
plosion occurred in the Washburn Mill,
at Minneapolis, Mimi, by which several
people were killed and the building de-
stroyed with all its contents. There was
ance upon the property of S215, 900, dis-
tributed among no less than one hundred
dred aad six companies, and all but If
teen OF the number aid over the amount
oftheir policies without protest. Most OF
the Others were Cincinnati companies
and test case was brought TO trial about
ten days ago. The policy contained q
clause exemptiDg the company from loss
by fire from explosion, and their claim
was that the destruction of the mill was
due to an explosion which produced the
IRE that burned it down. Ex-Governor
Washburn, however, claimed that the
trouble began with a fire which culmi.
mated In the explosion, and that conse-
guently the clause in question did not re-
heve the insurers from RESPONSE bility, The
trial lasted full week, but the owner OF
the mill was able to produce evidence
that Che smoke and flames were seen by
several people before the explosion, and
the Jury took only ten minutes TO reach Q
verdict N his favor for the full amount
Claimed, with interest.

Division.

An article appears in the Democrat
ic Press, published at Port Townsend
W. l.. favoring a political division OF
Washington Territory, with the sum
NIT of Che Cascades as the dividing
line. Whether this is thrown .out
as faeler of public sentiment upon
this question or that the writer is in
earnest we know not. In any event
this question submitted to the people
would quickly receive q fitting rebuko.
1t cannot be expected that the people
of Washington are going to divide
their strength just at the time when
they are acquiring some attention and
consideration from the older states of
the east, and when Washington needs
all her strength to enable her 10 throw
off her swaddling clothes aud assume

talks ef division now must be luna or
an enemy to the prosperity Of the peo
pie Of Washington.

are about one hundred souls in the
city; they have large general mer-
chandlse store, one hotel, church. q
school house, boot and shoe house,
wagon shop, two saloons and two
blacksmith shops. There are two res
ident doctors. The land in this sec
ton is about all taken up, and even
the school sections are being occupied.
Wheat, barley and oats are the prin-
cipal grains grown in this precinct, and
roots such as are grown in the north
ern counties of Idaho grow abundant
ly and of an unusually large size even
on the sod lands The wheat in this
neighborhood will average 40 bushels
to the acre. Mr.. irving, who has 200
acres fenced and under cultivation
sold his wheat at Spokan Falls, city
distant fifty miles north of Farming
ton, and received 5l.2 per bushel. M.
u. Harris harvested on his farm this
last season 90 bushels of oats to the
acre, although so bushels is the sener-
al average. Mr.. John Campbell had a
piece of land less favorable to cultiva-
ton, and we learn from that gentle
man himself that he sowcd wheat in
July and reaped prolific crop in the
/ following November. We were shown
the wheat of that yield, which to all
appearances was number one article

C0ltaX.


This city is situated about 40 miles
distant from Lewiston on the Palouse
river, in Washington Territory. This
river has sufficient water during the
Spring and Winter seasons to give
power to several mills, but in the
Summer season the water is not to be
depended upon for that purpose. The
city is built in long canyon, which
IS very abrupt on entering, but where
the city proper stands the sides of the
canyon roll off to the table lands above.
The city is about 25 miles from the
river, and when the proposed railroad
IS built through the section of country
adjacent to Colfax there will then be
an incentive for e larger city.
The buildings of Colfax are CON
structed generally with design of art
and permanency, and the people as in
most OF these frontier cities are afia-
bic and energetic. There are two ho-
tells there conducted on principles that
give great satisfaction to travellers. Mr..
Ewart, of the Ewart House, would
lead the stranger to believe, by com
Portable chambers, well supplied tables
and homeliIe reception throughout,
that they were not Oh the frontier but
in the heart Of civilization. TIE
Baldwin House is large hotel, and is
just getting under good headway, and
bids fair to DC a close rival of the
Ewart House
There is one newspaper published
there in the interest Of Republicans
The city contains churches, schools
stores, crist and saw mills and pop
ulation Of about 500 people, includ-
ing whites, blacks and Chinese. Grain
is used here almost as a legal tender
in exchange for merchandise. 1t
brings from thirty to forty cents q
hushel in cash, and 10 doubt before
another year rolls around the proposed
railroad wiz usake the city of Colfax
quite q business center. There is a
large area Of farming country about
CclfaE that is sufficient alone to make
it q grain market. The land in this
noighbolhood is rolling, with here and
there at intervals Of mile are valleys
Of from two 20 fifty, and hundred
acrcj There is not much timber il
this immediate locality, but plenty o.
water from running streams and
springs. The land in all sections
available to agriculture is already tax
Ell up, and improvements are every day
being extended. In this city is the
land Office and the Northern Pacific
railroad office for the Ainsworth divi-
sion. The indications arc that these
large counties 50 rapidly being peopled
hy immigration must soon he divided.
Money, morals and good soil are the
requisite instruments to mako q good
country and a great city, and Colfax
has these in abundance.
