VIM. ETTINGER, lately dead in New
York, carried on a queer business.
He was nominally an insurance ad.
juster, but his real business
was warning insurance companies
against prospective incendiary fires.
The value of his information may be
judged from the fact that from Jan
uary, 1887, to the time fhis death
no less than ITO fires, involving an
insurance loss of $4,000. So, which
were predicted by him, have taken
place. The insurance companies en-.
joying his protection, for which they
paid roundly, were through his warn
ings enabled to save themselves loss
by canceling policies on the threat
ened property or reinsuring it with
either ompanies less well informed OF
future events.

The censu. OF Oregon.

Portland Oregonian: Every additional
fact that comes to light tends to show that
the census of Oregon, both in the Eastern
and Western divisions. has been buglingly
and imper.ectly taken. A return of only
u, 500 inhabitants in the Eastern division
means when compared with the last census
and the vote in June last, that 25 per cent OF
the inhabitants have been missed, and from
what is known oflnethods and results in the
Western division, it will be singular If the
population missed here shall not prove even
greater The work OF the census III Oregon
has not been efficiently organized or yigor-
ously pushed. and we think the RESULT will
TAIL far enough below the actual population
of The state to make it extremely doubtful
whether we shall get another member of
congress. In June, 1880, the state cast 3D.
759 votes and its population at that time
was 174.76s. In June, 1890, the state east
q. 400 votes. and the present census should
show population OF nearly or quite $780,
600. But the returns so far indicate that it
will fall much below 800, Goa result that
can be due only to want of efficiency in the
organization and management OF the work
OF enumeration.

Clarkson's Work.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram. Oct. o.
Col. Clarkson left tonight for Pittsburg.
He will have conference there with prom
inent Republicans and will then go West,
He may stop for time in OHIO and take
some part in Maj. McKinley's fight. Then
he will go to Iowa. 1t is possible that he
will extend his trip to some of the North
western states, but this is not probable, as
his services are valuable to the ma
tional congressional committee at
headquarters in this city. Col. Clarkson's
entire trip is in the interest of committee
work. He has the situation in close dis
tricts as thoroughly as it is possible to get
it here, and he goes away Tor personal in
spection of the ground. His trip is signif-
cant, and is expected to bear immediate
iruit in the way of giving the committee
more accurate knowledge of the situation
in the Northern and Western states, and
furnishing them pointers on the most adj
visable points on which to center their
guns.
