The amendment to the insurance laws
introduced by Senator Blackman of Help-
ner, and which passed and became law is
as follows:
''lrhe amount of insurance written in a
policy of insurance on all buildings insured
after the passage of this act, shall be taken
and deemed the true value of the proper ty
at the time of the loss. and the amount of
the loss sustained, and shall be the measure
of damage, unless the insurance was pre-
cured by the, fraud OF the insured. or the loss
was caused by the criminal act of the as
sured. 1t shall be lawful for any insurance
company. liable to pay losses occasioned by
fire, to rebuild any structure wholly or par
tlally destroyed of the came style and ma
terials and equal with the one so destroyed,
but they shall make their election so to o
within 80 days after notice of loss. In case
there Is partial destruction of the property
insured, no greater amount shall be col

Albany Democrat.


A dispatch, dated Feb. 25th, in the San
Francisco Chronicle. is of great Importance.
1t reads:
Henry Wood and E. G. N. Rard, the
railway experts employed by the bond
holders committee of the Oregon Pacific
Railway to examine the property and AFFAIR."
of the COMPANY, have submitted their re-
port. The experts estimate that the pres
ent value of the property OF the Greg Pa
ciGc Is Sl,500, 600. They charge wasteful
management and extravaganza in construc.
ton. They were unable to determine the
nature of the relations between the Oregon
Development Company and the Oregon Pa
cltic. except that. the two companies are
under the same management. They think
that under careful management the value of
the property could be largely increased.
The joint report is supplemented by a
statement from Expert R,nd IN which he
says that between S350,O00 and S40O, 900 Of
receivers certificates haye been issued which
are invalid. He advises that the road be
extended to Boise City on the east and that
line be built from Albany northward to
Portland. thence over the ridge and along
the coast to the harbor of Astoria.
An address has been issued by the com.
mittee, asking the bondholders to agree to
an assessment of $3.50 on each bond, and to
author ze the committee to buy the property
at the sale, which has been fixed for March.

Death of a. Newspaper.

The Tao ma NeaUs IN speaking of the
demise of the Spokane Spokesman says:
''The Spokane Spokesman has called thirty.
After long fight for life the Spokesman
gives up the ghost and the Revie,0 takes
possession of the corpse. There Is always
something of a tragedy in such death. A
newspaper is very human institution and
it dies human death 1t has an lndividu.
ality, a character and following; 1t has
friends and enemies, people who swear by 1t
and people who curse 1t; 1t has done harm
and has done good; it has been treated with
lngratitude by politicians whom 1t has made
from bankruptcy; it has followed faithfully
to mes of poli;y which were opposed to its
financial interest and has been looked ON
with suspicion even when 1t sought to do
something for the general good; it is more
easily reached by friendship and more hon.
estly independent of capital than most
men-yet it is thought heartless and cor
rupt; it is forced to he partisan on questions
which involve its very life and on which
men of policy remain close as clans; it is
forced to lose money for the sake OF an uu-
appreciative community; it enlarges and
spreads when times are good and it dare not
retrench when retrenchment becomes neces.
sary lest it injure the town; 1t often eulo-
gizes those who ipjure it and bears the en-
barassment of burdensome friends; it is ex-
pected to have no feeling but duty and no
desire but the prosperity of everybody else;
If it thinks Though its pocket book, as
men do, it is called dishonest; if it espouses
an unpopular cause it is moved by some
hidden and selfish motive, and If 1t refuses
to do so it lacks In courage; its life Is one
ionz fight, bitter, intense and fierce and no
one can tell when it will die for no one can
see when more formidable antagonist will
come upon the field"

The item published IN the TINES Noun,
TAISEER regarding the bomb throwing was
on the authority of Mr.. T. j. Driver, whose
veracity we have no reason to doubt. The
following Is in refutation:
PORTLAND, March 2, 1898.
Editor TuMEs-MoUNrAISEER:
Please state locally on my authority,
that the Oregon Land, Irrigation. Lumber
and Fuel Co. does not owe one single dollar
either to farmers at WapinItia, or to any
one any where. The recent ''whlte cap" and
"bomb.throwing" referred to in your paper
was only huge practical joke of the young
men in that locality, and it was carried a
little too far, the winter being long and
nothing else to do. The farmers are all
friendly to the ditch company.
