A Fine Record.

The Phoenix Fire Insurance Com
pany, OF Brooklyn, according to the
Coast Reriew, leads all American fire
insurance companies on the Pacific
coast. The Phoenix was organized in
1853, and has made rapid strides to
the front. The assets of the Phoenix
January |, 1898, was 6,167 ,62S. The
Pacific coast premiums for the year
1892 was 1897 ,43l. Under the con-
servative management OF Brown, Craig
& Company, of San Francisco, the
Pacific coast agency, the loss ratio was
only 36 per cent.
The American. of Philadelphia (under
the same management, is one of the
oldest American fire offices; having
been organized in 1910, it justly claims
the prior right to the name American.
This staunch old company has been
growing in favor and is making (under
the present management rapid strides
to the front. Since 1885 the business
of the American has trebled. It's as
sets January l, 1898, was $3,1S3, 302
The Pacific coast premiums for 1892
was, in round figures, $4,000; loss

AT Port Townsend, during two or
three days small volume of smoke
has been noticed ascending from one
of the peaks in the Olympic noun
tains, southwest of the city. Recently
numerous persons saw small line OF
fame shoot up into a clear sky, after
which n small, thin winding cloud of
black smoke continued to pour forth.
In several places the phenomenon
was observed through field glasses by
people who had every opportunity to
clearly see the flame and smoke. They
say it had the appearance of a volcano
and was similar to an eruption that
was observed in 1860 from the crest oil
Mount Baker. No signs of an earth
quake or other subterranean disturb
ance have been reported, and the
strange freak of nature is exciting
much curiosity.

AT SEATTLE.

The Chamber of Commerce at Seat
tie have had the matter of an exhibit
at Golden Gate Park under considera-
ton and have deemed it necessary to
raise $4,000 to properly represent
Western Washington at the fair.
Their scheme does not include the
counties east OF the Cascades, for want
OF time to put in operation plan that
would embrace the whole State. This
amount it is proposed to raise by as
sessment on the IL Sound counties, as
follows: King and Pierce, So, 600 each;
Snohomish and Whatcom, $500
each; Thurston 81 $50; Skagit, Jefler-
son, Clallam and Kitsap, 81 900 each ;
Mason, $3.50 and Island and San Juan
$500 each. This amount is to be dis
bursed in the erection of building, to
gather the exhibits, to forward and re-
turn them, and to care for them dur
ing the continuance OF the fair, from
the 1st day OF January till the 31st
day of July. This would, of course.
supplant the suggestion of an appro-
priation from the State for the erec-
ton OF the building costing from ST.
600 to $1,000, but places still more in
doubt the ability of our people to raise
the amount required. AS Mr.. Lin
coin said in one OF his famous mes
sages: cit is easier to pay money
when you have it than when you do
not have it, and easier to pay a small
debt with large amount OF money
than large debt with small amount
OF money" This has been painfully
realized by many of our people, and
after the many drafts that have been
made upon their pockets. it is not
promising too much to agree to furnish
an exhibit similar to that at Chicago,
as her share. This can be done to q
great extent without money, and it
may be so good that the remainder Of
the State, like at Chicago, will be dis
posed to claim the awards for the State
at large.
What is to be done must be done
with expedition. Just a month inter-
venes until the fair opens, and after
that every day lost is just that much
of the harvestseason that has passed
without profit.

AT the meeting of the City Council
last night the all important question,
and the one that excited the most
discussion, was the question OF whether
the present Council should take steps
for reducing the salaries OF the incom-
ing city officers. The Council seemed
to favor repeating ordinance No. 61O,
which states that salaries of officers
could not be changed after their cleo
ton, and passing a new ordinance fix
ing the salaries for the ensuing year.
The great objection to this course
was that in repeating the old ordinance,
they would leave the officers with no
salaries and new ordinance could not
be passed until after the city election.
1t would then be a question as to
whether the new Council could legally
fix the salaries. The question was
finally laid over for the new Council
to straighten up. 1t did not seem to
occur to any of the members that a
proviso could have been attached pro-
viding that the new salary clause
would not 60 into effect until the new
officers had been elected and qualified.
AT o'clock sharp the meeting was
called to order with Councilman Giles
in the chair. The routine business
was rushed through in hurry and all
unnecessary work dispensed with in
order that the meeting might be
finished in time for the Councilman to
attend the convention up stairs.
The Committee on Accounts and
Current Expenses recommended that
warrants be drawn for the following
amounts: Street pay roll $526. 40 |;
Salary account $4,000.
Phipps brought up the question as
to whether the Council could legally
order accounts paid at an adjourned
meeting, and lest there should be
some grounds for doubt, the committee
withdrew its report.
A petition from G. M. Epperson,
asking that the fence built by ]. L..
Henderson across the street west OF
lots 9 and 10 in block l6 of Gallagher's
addition be removed, was referred to
Committee ON Streets, Wharves and
Bridges.
The petition presented at the last
meeting asking for the reduction OF
salaries of city officers, and which was
printed in last Fridays paper, was on
motion of Byrne referred to the Com
mittee on Ways and Means.
On motion Of Phipps the matter OF
special assessment for street work
was continued over until next meet
ing.
Discussion on the salary question
consumed the remainder of the time
till adjournment.

John Kierlan, of McMurray, arrived
at Mt. Vernon, last Friday, with the
body of Andrew H. Johnson, who COM
mitted suicide at McMurray. There
is no theory as to Johnson's reason
for committing suicide. He came
from South Dakota two years ago.
He went to the McMurray hotel,
locked his door and wrote several notes
as to the disposition of his effects, and
then put bullet into his head. He
had about $3.50 in gold in his pocket,
which he directed should be sent 10 a

Another set of plans for the capitol
came TO the Governor Tuesday, but
the express charges for transportation
had not been paid and it was not
taken from the carrier. All that is
known about it is that it came from

architect who would try to dodge pay
ment OF expressage on his plans pos
sesses too small soul to grasp the
magnitude OF task he has attempted.
Gov. McGraw received a few days
ago the first set of plans for the pro-
posed capitol. Who they came from
is unknown, as the law provides that
the architects name shall not be
known until a set are accepted. From
this time on till the Nth Of next
month, when the award is made,
doubtless many plans will be sub
mitted, as it is known that large
number of architects are preparing to
compete.
