A Circular Sent Out
to Stockholders.
Reorganization Demanded and the
Working Capital to Be
Replenished.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Dec. 1S.-A circular,
adopted by the directors ofthe Dis
tilling and Cattle Feeding company at
a meeting held in this city last week
was sent out ito the stockholders of the
company tonight. 1t contains state
ment of the condition of THE company
and declares reorganization is nee
essary, three plans being submitted
for the approval of the stockholders.
The circular states that the board
has made every possible preparation
to take advantage of the increased
tax lately enacted into law. A large
amount of spirits and alcohol in bond
had been accumulated. The circular
then reviews the efforts of President
Greehut and other officials to effect
loan and the difficulties they encoun-
tered. the failure to tax pay goods
at this critical period was the Sc
verest blow ever experienced by the
company. Great as was the financial
loss, the loss of preStage was mucR
larger. Owing to the failure to tax
but portion of the goods, trade be-
came restive and the company was
forced to abandon the rebate system
which had proved So satisfactory in
the past. This step forced the COM
pany to face new and hazardous con-
ditions which will require more than
ordinary sagaclty and wisdom to
meet.
The cash assets are largely tied up
in spirits but there is enough cash to
pay all rebates. Rebate money has in
the past been used as a working capi-
tai, and after the rebates are paid an
additional working capital will be re-
quired. In the seven years the Distill-
ing and Cattle Feeding trust, and
Distilling and Cattle Feeding COM
pany, it's successor, have been in eX-
istence 26O, O,522. .624 proof gallons have
been marketed and the amount of
dividends paid, $6,11S, ,S6S.2O.

SAFELY MANEUvERED.

SEATTLE, Dec. 17.-Fire broke out
in the Oregon Improvement company's
Newcastle coal mine at Coal creek
ten miles from this city at $50 o'clock
this morning, and the creek was
turned into the mine to extinguish the
flames. In the midst Of wild con-
fusion Superintendent Anderson tele-
phoned below to the third level, tell
ing the 125 men in the mine how to
escape and stayed at the telephone un-
til the fire drove him away. BY this
time the 125 men had come out and
five men went down the air shaft to
warn them that the slope was burn
ing within ONE hundred feet, The
fans were kept going, though they
famed the flames and enormously in
creased the loss and the men worked
like demons to keep the flames from
them. One moments stoppage would
have meant death. The last man was
brought out at 2:3O p. M and the
roll was called. The openings were
then stopped, Coal creek damned and
turned into the mine, and tomorrow
the fans will be reversed to draw out
smoke, while men go down to fight
the fire. The machinery and top
works were saved except the roof of
the slope, but twenty-five mules, har-
ness, cars and. other loss aggregate
$5O,OOO.

SIX SHIPS IN JEOPARDY.

San Francisco, Dec. 1S.-The general
opinion among sea faring men is that
the steam Golfers Montserrat and Ke-
weenaw will never be seen again. The
only hope is that the colliers were
driven north by the storm and that
they are row III some sheltered cove

Columbia which left Port Blakeley
fourteen days ago. for this port with a
cargo of lumber; the bark Germania

laden for San Francisco; the ship j.
B. Brown, fifteen days out from Nam

bark Sea King, which sailed a day
later than the J. Il. Brown from the

BOTH ARE COWARDS.

ST. Louis, Dec. It's. D. Perry,
publisher of the East St Louis Her
aid, and Lloyd r. R. Fayling, ex-
editor of the Herald, exchanged cour-
tesies according to the duel code last
Friday and were to meet on the field
of honor early yesterday morning with
pistols. The story got into the news
papers, and fear of the police inter-
fered and the encounter was post
poned. A publishers notice in re-
cent copy of the Herald caused Fay
ling to send the challenge, which was
promptly accepted by Perry. The
sending or acceptance of a challenge
to fight duel being a penitentiary Of
fense in Illinois, the principals are
keeping in THE background today.
Both men are Of spirit and the en-

HEAVY SUIT ENDED.

Boston, Dec. 1S.-The long contested
patent suit of the United States VS..
the American Bell telephone company
was ended this morning when Judge
Carpenter of the United States cir
cult court rendered his decision
against the Telephone company. This
suit was a bill in equity praying for
the repeal of letters patent issued to
Emile Berliner, assignor of the Ameri-
can Bell Telephone company for COM
bined telephone and telegraph system.
The Berliner patents were issued to
the telephone company but were never
put into use by them on account, they
claim, of the expense of making
changes in the telephone system while
other companies were prevented from
using the system.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1'.-That
the steam colHers MontSerrat and
Keweenaw have been lost at sea with
all on board is now considered almost
certainty. The MOntserrat from
Nanaimo, and the Keweenaw, from
Comox, B. c., are both seven days
overdue at this port. For several
days tugs and coasting steamers all
along the northern coast have kept a
sharp lookout but no tidings of either
steamer have been received. Both YES
sells were heavily loaded and the pre-
vailing opinion is that they were lost
almost together in the terrific gale
that ragged off Cape Flattery on the
night that they put to sea. The Mont
serrat, Captain Blackburn, carried a
crew of twenty men and the Ke-
weenaw, Captain Jenkins, had a crew
of thirty men. Anxiety is also felt fol

KEEP IT AT HOME.-There is an
immensely Of Oregon money sent out
over the mountains and even across
the oceans that might and ought to be
kept at home, where it will get back
into and circulate through the various
channels Of trade. One item alone
is little surprising in it's magnitude.
Very few would think that over $780,
600 went out to foreign companies
last year in the shape Of insurance
premiums, yet such is the fact, and
the prorl sition at once suggests itself,
how much better it would be if this
money were kept at home. And to a
large extent it might be. There is no
necessity for sending out dollar for
ordinary insurance so long as the peo-
pie have an. Oregon company of
strength and reliability to carry their
risks. This they have in the State
Insurance company, Of Salem, com
posed Of many of the strongest men
in the state, company whose poll
cies are as good as a goldbearing bond
and whose every interest is to do a
clean, honest business with the neigh
bors and friends who are it's patrons.
The proper thing to do for an Oregon.
ian who is seeking new insurance or
| renewing old policies is to find an
agent of the State and leave his pre-
lniums at home.
