THE REAsoN.-The Coast Review, the
coast insurance organ, estimates the losses
of the insurance companies by the Ellens
burgh fire at S,7S,oIS. !, Is reasonable to
suppose that the coast insurance compa-
mics will not pay large dividends this year.
Portland Evening Telegram. There Is a
coast" company in Salem that is not in-
eluded in this list. The reasons are obvi-
ous.- ,SiGiesmaE The reasons are simply
that II had no risks there. Companies like
foreign companies, doing general business,

to accept Mr. Hoag's proposition. and build
the line direct to Albany from that city

man who was at the land Office In Oregon
City when Register Burney received the
instructions not to allow any more fling
on timber claims by married women, says
there were eight women In the Office at the

the woods as she di., II she were given a
deed TO all the land between Oregon City
and the Pacific ocean.--EK.
ALBANY no AsToRIA.--It will become
necessary for you to do something besides
keep your eyes open. 10 order to bring

sround with subscription paper and raise
few Thousand dollars Get a piece OF
road started, Il It's only two streaks Of rust
and hand car There Is no reason why
Albany should not do as much toward a
road as Astoria and when she does there
will be plenty of meney forthcoming TO
build the connecting link.--PioHecr.
