PAY A PREMIUM,
St. Paul People Buy the Stock of the
HeCkla Fire Insurance Company.

HeCkla Fire Insurance Company.
MADISON, Wis, Special Telegram,
The troubles which have been disrupting
the Heckla Fire Insurance company of this
city for the past two months eliminated to-
night in the practical sale of the Hecklas
business to the st. Paul German Insurance
company. All the details of the bargain
were completed and all that is left to be
done is the formulating of the papers to-
morrow and the ratification of the deal of
the Heckla stockholders at a special meet
ing to be called for Feb 10. The St. Paul
company obligates itself to take, if it is Of
terred. the whole Of the $780, Of stock of
the Heckla company, paying therefore $685.
GOO, or premium of per cent The Heckla
directors bind themselves to procure and
turn over to the st. Paul company
at least a majority Of the Hecla
stock, thus giving the purchaser full control
over the Heckla affairs. The st. Paul COM
pany assumes every asset and liability of
the Heckla company. The latter has now
outstanding over $2O,O0O,OOO of risks, and
its surplus at the end of January was s14,-
600, while in December SIS, 600 in dividends
were paid. 1t is the intention of the St.
Paul company to reinsure all the HeckIa
risks outside of Wisconsin in the st. Paul
company and to continue, for the present
at least, the risks in this state in the Hecla
company. Albert Schefer, president of the
St. Paul company, and w. c. Bredengagen,
vice president of the company, made the
deal for their corporation, which is only
nine months old, but which to-day's pur-
chase is expected to boom tremendously
The Rockford and various other companies
made bids to reinsure the risks, but the
Heckla preferred the clean-cut offer made bv
the st. Paul company. To-day's deal is a
defeat for the faction of Heckla stockholders
led by President Halle steensland, and
victory for Vice President John A. johnson.

BURIED A TOWN,
AValanches Destroy the town
OF Burke in the CGur
d'Alene District.
High Water Causes Much
Damage in the Fertile Will
annette Valley in Oregon.

SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, Special THE
town of Burke, Idaho ir the Occur d'Alene
mining district, has been nearly DESTROYED
by disastrous avalanches. Half of the bust
ness houses are in ruin: Three men were
killed, and the terror-stricken inhabitants
have He'd to the towns of Gem and Wallace.
fearing repetition of the disaster.
PARTICULARS are meager, as the
wires to all the points in the
mines have gone down, leaving no means
OF communication. The disaster occurred
yesterday afternoon, and this morning.
with scarcely moments warning, ire
mendous mass of snow and rocks swept
down upon the town from the east side of
the narrow gulch in which it is situated.
Five men were buried beneath the snow.
Two were rescued, but the others are dead
and their bodies have not yet been recov-
cred. The Inflated town lies in narrow
gulch, through which Canyon creek pours
its waters into the south fork of the Ceur
d'Alene. It had about 200 inhabitants,
who have deserted their wrecked or men
aced homes and places of business The
nearest town is Gem, also upon Canyon
creek and three miles down the stream,
Yesterday another disastrous avalanche
swept down boarding house connected
with the Custer mine, which is situated upon
NiEe Mile creek, about five miles from
Burke. The boarding house was full of
miners six of whom were killed. The 9TH
ers had narrow escape, and a number
were more or less injured. The disasters
are not surprise to those familiar with to-
Biography of that section. The towns are
situated in very narrow gulches, on either
side OF which abrupt mountains arise The
snowfall this winter has been unprecedented
in the history Of the country. Within the
last few days it has been raining hard,
which had the effect of loosening the deep
snow banks and precipitating them upon
the town and the houses below.

The Papago Reservation.

About two years ago the Papago In
dian reservation was sub-divided into
tracts Of 40 acres each, conforming with
the public surve VS.. the intention Of
the government being to allot one Of
these tracts to each Indian living on
the reservation. The reservation con-
tains about $4,000 acres, including rich
bottom lands and a splendid grazing
country. There are about 1000 acres of
good land which can be irrigated, and
out OF these only about 300 acres have
been cultivated by the Indians. A ca
nal has recently been constructed which
will supply water for nearly all the irri-
gable land in the reservation.
The interior department has sent out
. special agent to see to the distribution
Of these lands among the Indians. This
gentleman, in company with Mr.. G. w.
Grouse, the Indian agent at Sacaton, 10
now here making arrangements for the
allotment of the land to the Indians.
They yesterday had meeting with the
Indians at San Xavier, who seem to be
very much pleased with the contem-
plated arrangement. Heretofore the
Indians have been farming four or five
acre tracts In community, and there was
no lack Of misunderstanding and dis
satisfaction among them at the end of
tho year, caused by that arrangement.
The bottom lands which can be irrigated,
will be dealt out in 40 acre lots-one
each to the head OF q family, and the
mesa lands, not susceptible to cultiva-
ton, will be given in 16O acre tracts to
each head Of family, for grazing pur-
poses. The government, however, will
hold the land in trust for fifteen years,
at the end Of which time, and not before,
the Indians will be at freedom to dis
pose Of them. Hence, after 1906 we may
expect to see the fertile San Xavier
lands converted into magnificent farms;
until that time, however, 1t is more than
likely they will remain in their present
weeded state, for it don't take much
to satisfy An Indian.
