INSURANCE COMPANIES ALARMED.

The insurance companies are becoming
alarmed at the situation in Seattle, and for
several weeks past several of the older and
more conservative among them have de-
clined all risks in those districts especially
exposed to fire. The danger to which the
city lies exposed was emphasized by the
recent fire in the Colman block, and its
first result is seen in the following letter re-
ceived by the well-known insurance firm of
of the Scottish Union and National Com
pany, which has hitherto done large BUSH
ness in Seattle:
Gentlemen: Having received instructions
from the head Office of the Scottish Union aud
National with regard to your city, have been
compelled to wire you today as follows:
Scottish head Office requests suspension until
water-works and better fire protection actually
which now confirm.
While 1t is with much regret that am COM
PEELED to take this action, am not at all sur
prised. for the reason that with the lesson your
community and insurance companies have had
in Washington territory, to find city such as
yours erecting handsome and costly buildings,
filing them up with stocks of merchandise of
tectl0n, the only surprising feature to me is
that ell companies do not take the same action.
As you well know, there is no rate that can
be paid that win pay companies for a confagrs-
ton hazard, ana rather than be subject to fires
wiping large cities out of existence /, as an I'M
derwriter, believe in the principle of retirement
rather than to exposure to losses which no rate
viii pay for. hope TO have yoHr full views
and report upon the present and prospective
position a. to the better protection of your city
The Scottish has no inten ton of permanently
retiring, but simply temporarily, owing to the
entirely inadequate fire protection, upon which
the basis of all rates are based. 1
Awaiting your reply in this connection, re-
main. yours faithfully, w. J. CALLINeHAM,
General Agent
This may seem small matter, but it is
in reality very serious thing. since other
companies are likely to follow the precedent
thus established. Do our people realize
how serious thing it would be if the in
surance companies generally should adopt
this policyf 1t would be such blow to
the business of Seattle as it has not suffered
since the great fire. 1t would involve the
reduction of all stocks of goods, and
absolutely destroy the credit of
many of our merchants. Jobbing
houses in San Francisco and
elsewhere would naturally decline to risk
large stocks of goods in city SO exposed
to fire that insurance could not be effected.
The high rates of insurance now paid make
a severe tax upon our business, but with
drawal of the companies would be a far
more serious thing. 1t would, in fact.
drive many of our merchants out of bust
ness altogether.
The danger is imminent and unless some
thing shall be done our trade organization
is likely to receive staggering blow. Cit
liens of Seattle, an emergency is upon us;
and now what will you do about it?

these fruits can be grown in abundance
and of quality as fine as any in the world.
There is no room for doubt on that point.
Anyone who viii travel from South Seattle
to Lake Union, from the city front to Lake
Washington, or along the plateau running
south from West Seattle. will observe that
there is not vacant lot within any OF
those limits that is not thickly bedded with
wild clover and grasses of most luxuriant
growth. covered with tangled masses OF
wild blackberries, dewherries and rasp-
berries heavily laden with their respective
fruits.
At the residence of Judge Greene. which
enjoys no specisl advantages of soil or
climate over hundreds of others, may be
seen apricots as fine as ever grew out OF
doors. The growth Of these 70 the perfec.
ton they have attained Is conclusive that
plenty more of the same sort can be grown
in the neighbsrhood. and the cantaleup
question is unanswerably settled By the
rank, always green growth of clover,
grasses and berries which in the wild and
natural state cover the hills and ravines all
around US. These fruits can be grown
here. and of perfect quality, and in greatest
luxuriance.
Picked from the trees or vines when ripe
or nearly so the flavor would be greatly
superior to that of fruits picked while
green. Fifty pounds of apricots could be
sold at cents pound where one pound
is sold for 20 cents, and there would be an
hundred times the demand for cantaleups
at 10 cents apiece that there is for them at
80 cents each. A few well titled acres of
either fruit at the lowest prices above sug-
gested would yield handsome compe-
tence, and in either line we'll managed on
an extended scale there are possibilities of
returns largely in excess of an ordinary
gold mine, and far more certain. The
people of the finest fruit country on the
continent are starving for fruit or paying
quintuple prices for it. There is no sort of
sense in that way of doing business.
There is call for an awaking

ONE OF wAsHINGToN's ApvAN-

Mr.. John p. Fleitz, one of Michigan,s
lumber kings, has been paying a visit to
San Francisco, where few days ago he
submitted to an interview with Chronicle
reporter. Therein he manifested a knowl-
edge and appreciation of Washington's Pc
culiar advantages as a source of lumber
supply which is well worthy of reproduc-
ton, for favorable opinions expressed at a
distance from the section compiimented
are entitled to more weight than those ex-
pressed on the ground, because it is much
more common to speak well of one to his
face than behind his back. The remarks
of Mr.. Fleitz are doubly significant in this
respect, for the reason that in addressing
the representative of California newspa-
state and Washington which established
the superiority of the latter.
Twice before he has visited mis- Coast,
once in 1883 and again in 1888 All of his
visits have had main reference to an in
spection of lumber resou ces, and he has
inspected the timber Is ads of the entire

timber in the world, which will produce an
almost fabulous amount OF lumber to the
acre, it has not escaped his keen observa-
ton that much of it is inaccessible, and if
cut into lumber or logs can only be got out
TO g market in balloon, which evidently
he does not consider feasible.
After careful survey of the whole
Coast, Mr.. Fleitz, representing syndicate
composed of the Wentworth brothers, of
Flint, Mich. and other Eastern capitalists,
has already purchased 10000 acres OF tim
Der land in this state, upon which he says
they will soon have large number OF lum
Der mills in operation. He regards il as
only question OF more competing lines of
railroads, and resultant lower rates for
transportation, until the demand for lum-
Der from this section will be enormously
increased and the price greatly enhanced.

To THE EDITOR: Some months ago I read in

what arrangements they have completed for
handling wheat? The crop in Lincoln and
Spokane counties is enormous, aud from present
indications the grain will be ! in every re.
spect. We have been waiting for years on
Seattle to give us q market at reasonable
price, for our wheat, and are in hopes that you
will have buyers in the field this season. At
present we are entirely at the mercy of the
Northern Pacific Elevator Company. II your
city win have no buyers among US this season,
will your Chamber of Commerce see that the
farmers get equal rates and rebates with the ele-
vator company, in case the farmers should con-
elude to ship their grain themselves to Seattle.
We would like the help of your city in this mat
ter, and in helping us you will be helping your
sc yes, as the bulk of our trade should be with
the Sound. Our grain, instead of going East via
the railroad should be loaded into ships at your
docks, as we are within 800 miles of you.
Hoping that some arrangements can be made
whereby we may be mutually benefited, am
