The Reason Why Insurance Rates are

Captain r. j. Burns, the well known In
surance underwater, was asked Thursday
by a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES reporter if he
knew of any immediate prospect Of q re-
duction in insurance rates.
The managers Of the union which fxes
the rates have told me, as they have told
many others, replied Captain Burns. that
when the water comes here through the
new mains from the new pumps at Lake
Washington. that there will be q reduction
IN rates, and that when the fireboat is built
and put into commison there will be an
other great reduction. These two reduc-
tons viii bring rates down as low as any
one could ask.

The Wedding Occurred at Sacramento
Wednesday ~ Noon.
Mr.. Samuel L. Crawford, OF this city, and
Mrs. Clara 81. Byrne. of sacramento, Cal
were united in marriage Wednesday,
by the Rev. a rnold T. Needham ct the
residence of the brides parents, DIR. and
Mrs. Nj. +. Clayton. corner of Seventh and
l. streets. Sacramento. The marriage was
very quiet affair no one but the men,
bers OF the brides family, beside the prin-
cipals and the officiating clergyman being
present Mr.. and Mrs. Crawford will visit
Monterey and other California resorts and
will arrive in Seattle about May Is, after
which date they will be at home at the
Hotel Rainier.
This marriage is one OF the most inn
portant OF the season. owing to the prom-
nence OF the groom in business circles and
the acquaintance of the brice here Mr..
Crawford is the senior member of Craw-
ford Il Conover, the well-known real estate
and financial brokers. He possesses large
means, and it is safe to say that no man in
the Northwest has larger circle of de-
voted friends. He has resided in Seattle
for fourteen years. and has at all times
been prominently identified with the cify's
progress. His sterling qualities and genial,
kindly nature have made him every ones
friend, and he will have countless wishes
for a happy welded life. Mr.. Crawford
was for twelve years an invaluable member
of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES staff
The bride is the youngest daughter of
DIR. and Mrs. NJ. F. Clayton, of Sacramento.
She is an estimable and accomplished
Young lady. and has many friends here,
having frequently visited Mrs. J. C.
Grasse. of this city. AS one of the gentle
men stated at complimentary banquet
rendered Mr.. Crawford on the eve of his
departure from Seattle last Saturday by his
business associate, ''She is bride worthy
even o. sam Crawford" Mrs. Crawford
has been very prominently connected with
church and charitable work in Sacramento.
and will be an acquisition to Seattle society
in many ways. The welded life of Mr.. and
Mrs. Crawford surely commences under
the pleasantest of auspices.
