NOW OPERATING FULLY.
state Board of Fire Underwriters
Now in Absolute Control.

Now in Absolute Control.
Favorable action having been talxep
by the general managers on the ap-
plication of the insurance agents of
this territory for permission to form
a state board of underwriters. the
new compact went into full force and
effect yesterday morning, it's life to
date back from the first day Of the
month. All of the work formerly done
by the local branch of the board of
1re underwriters of the Pacific will in
the future receive attention at the
hands of the state board, CAPTAIN
Donnell occupying his old position as
manager. He will have but one clerk,
however, the boys having received
their notices on the first OF the month.
Not only will the business of the ter
rltory of Utah be transacted by the
new board, but also that of southern
Idaho, if present plans are not knock
ed out. At present the state of Idaho
is unattached and what reports of
business are not being sent to Mon
tana are coming this way. 1t is there
fore very desirable that division be
made and the northern part of the
state attached to the Montana board
and the southern to the Utah organi-
cation. Practically all of the sigma
lures of the general managers of The
Pacific, with the exception of those of
Magill and Duval, have now been Sc
cured and the territorial agents are
receiving notice to get within the
union fold. This they will do at once.
Now that the state board is in
operating shape it is more than likely
that some needed reforms will be
worked in focal insurance methods
and it is anticipated that there will be
no more 60 per cent. cuts, so and 10 off,
on mercantile risks, the policy to cover
period Of three years from date
There has been considerable Of this
work within the past few months by
both union and non-union companies
and the edict has gone forth that the
state board will no longer tolerate
such business methods. There are
also other reforms scheduled and it
is more than likely that the dry bones
will be given a good healthy rattle.

COLQUHOUN SAYS THE SCHEME

American Commission Composed of
Men Of the Highest AbfIity-Of

London, July 6.-Archibald Ross Col.

first governor of Mashonaland. has
just returned from u several months
mission TO Nicaragua, where he thor
oughly inspected the Nicaragua canal
route, and visited the Panama canal.

inability to fully discuss the matter
before the appearance of his book, but
he gave certain particulars regarding
the proposed canal Asked if the
scheme was practicable, Colquhoun
emphatically replied:

Ludlow. and the other members of the
commission, and also with Commander
A. q. Mononcal, late chief engineer of
the Nicaragua Canal company, who
has been writing about the scheme
Tor about twenty years. and who, in
fact, is its originator. The project is,
from an engineering point Of view, a
very fine one. Of the 1872 miles (total
length from Greytown on the Atlantic,
10 Breto on the Pacific, 1914 miles
will be unimpeded navigation of the
river San Juan and Lake Nicaragua;
1912 miles will be through artificial
basins, making the total distance 1421a
miles, III which ships can travel with
little or no restriction. There will be
only 26%l miles of actual digging to be
done.

"The climate of Nicaragua is i'm
mensely superior to that of Panama,
and, 50 far from suffering, l have been
benefited in health from the visit. AL
though working during the very hot

There has been no change in the
flour schedules of the local markets
during the past few weeks, but the
private lists are still in force and the
millers are selling, according to the
best information at hand, at prices
dependent entirely upon conditions.
The cutting. is not open, but there is no
attempt to maintain a uniform scale.
The settlement of the internal troubles
of the Salt Lake county combine has
confidence, which viii be temporary
at least. The necessary action was
taken yesterday in the district court to
remove from the records all knowledge
of the suit recently planted by one
faction of the company against the
other. In other words, the case was
dismissed and wiped from the records.
1t is anticipated that new wheat
will be on the market within the next
month, but as yet the market has
shown no signs of weakening. Ship
ments of the grain are again being
made from the southern part of the
territory to Texas and other southern
and eastern states. Here at home the
are not heavy, all Of the
millers having a fair supply Of wheat
on hand. The price is maintained
pretty closely to so cents. The present
indications are that the new wheat
crop will be very heavy, for from all
parts of the territory come reports of
the splendid condition of the grain
fields. This should be a great season
for the farmers of the territory.

sULLIvAS's SECRET.
How He Could Tell Whether 1t Was
Roy or n Girl.

II Roy or Il Girl.
When John L. Sullivan was in
Washington, less than a year ago, he
amused crowd of listeners, who hap
pened TO he of a variety intellectually
superior to the average crowd of hang
ers-on who worship the great mans
memory for what he was, with an en-
hibition of attachments in which, ac-
cording to Johns idea, brain instead
of Drawn and fstic prowess plays the
better part He told the age Of any
man in the crowd who was learned
enough to add, subtract and divide
series OF compound figures, which John
furnished, and nine out Of ten hit the
mark.
But one feat which he performed,
and in which ne believed with the fer
yer OF an idolater, goes into the mar
velous. 1t involved the telling whether
the first-bOrn of a couple was a boy
or a girl. The way that this feat was
accomplished was a profound secret
with the pugilist, but in a burst of
confidence he disclosed the method to
the writer. To solve the problem the
only necessary data are the full
maiden name of the mother and the
full name of the father. According to
Mr.. Sullivan's formula. ~ afssr cos1t-
ing the letters in both names, the sum
is an even one, the first-born is a boy,

County Treasuror's Omce at Santa Rosa,
CAL, Robbed.
, SANTA Rosa, Cal, Dec. 29.-Santa
Rosa had the biggest sensation in its
history during the day. The county
treasury was robbed Of nearly 5000
and County Treasurer Stofen was left
insensible in the vault to suffer death
by the robbers who locked the vault
door on him. The robbery occurred
about 8 a. m. but was not discovered
until about in the afternoon. All this
time Mr.. Stofen Jay on the floor of the
vault gasping for breath, fearing every
moment during conscious Intervals
would be his last. Had it not been for
the timely arrival Of his WIG,
The Only Person In Town
who knew the combination, he would
have been dead. Treasurer Stofen, as
soon as revived, said he opened up the
Office as usual about 9 o'clock. As he
was carrying one of the trays Will
money from the vault tall man in
stocking feet stepped into the door of
the vault and, with uplifted dagger in
his right hand, told him to drop the
tray, which he did. AS he stopped
over to lay the tray down, the robber
struck him a powerful blow on the
back of the head which rendered him
unconscious. He says the man was
tall and wore chin whiskers and must
have gained admittance to the office
during the night and waited for him
to open the safe.

REGARDING SECRET SOCIETIES
Interview With "a High Church
DiRnitary" Denounced
as False.

ST. PAUL. Dec. 28.-Archbishop 1re'
land was seen during the day regard
ing the interview "with high church
dignitary' sent out from Minneapolis
and he denounced it in the strongest
terms az q hoax and absolutely false in
all its implications. he told the Asso-
oiated Press representative that he had
not seen the report until late Friday,
but added:
1T is an outrageous and absolute
falsehood that any one near me, or in
any way connected with me. or that
high dignitary Of the church ever made
any such statements as appeared in
the socalled explanation of the recent
letters on the matter OF
The Position Of tho Church
on secret societies. I would like to
deny the whole matter in the strongest
words possible. wish to deny all con-
nection with the matter, and I am sur
prised that anyone could have used
words which would seem to imply that
it came from me or from anyone in the
church in st. Paul. The assertions
made are absolutely false"
The archbishop was very indignant
and evidently felt deeply outraged that
he should be placed in such false
light before the people of the country
as antagonizing the orders OF the
church.
