INSURANCE WAR,

An insurance rate war, such as
Corvallis policy-holders never saw.
before, has been waged in this city
since last Tuesday afternoon and
local agents. figuratively speaking
flourish broken swords in the air
and drip with each others gore.
The fight began Thursday after
noon right after two special agents
from abroad arrived in town, and
it waxed warmer after the appear
aace on the street the following
morning Of hundreds Of copies OF
two circulars signed by localagents
Of the Fireman's Fund and Of the
Phoenix and The Home, each cir.
cular inviting policy holders to
come and take out policies at their
own terms. All the time the tele-
graph wires between this city and
San Francisco nave been kept hot
with kilograms, and local agents
sawed the air in impatiennce be-
cause even the electric spark was
too slow for the rushing business
in hand.
The office Of every local agent
has been besieged BY clients de-
manding a reduction in their rates
and a rebate on premiums hith-I
erto paid, and many agents who
have not been prompt in meeting
the cut rates have lost many
clients altogether. It is probable
that before peace is declared that
half million dollars Of insurance
will be written in Corvallis. One
lical agent hos already written
nearly 100000 and business
grows better as each day rolls
round The amazing low rates
given By the different companies
demonstrate how very bitter has
been the fight. The public school
building, for instance, Was insured
Friday by the directors for $4,000
for d term Of three years. The to-
tai premium paid for the three
years was $50. The regular rate
hitherto paid would have made the
premium $3.50, making the amount
saved by the directors 1881, and to
make the deal stronger the COM
panies issued i pulicy that cannot
be cancelled. The policies were
written BY the Phoenix for sI,0e0i /
and the Home $4,000. The co-nty +
court house was also reinsured at
an astoLishingly low rate. The
amount vas s35,000, and the term
was for three years. At the old
rate the premium would have cost
The tax payers S77O; atthe cut rate
the $35, 900 placed on the buildingl
for three years Saturday cost, be-
sides a small amount due on unex-
pired policies, s53.90, q saving Of
over 800 The policies are in the
North British Mercantile, $4,000, i
Phoenix, $4,000 and the Home, ,
$4,000 and they cannot be can
celled. a business man held three l.
policies, expiring in ten, three and
Two months. The policies now ag-
yregate the same amount, are for
years, and the business man ha :
been paid oy bis company $3.50 in
ash. It will probably BE- q life
lime before insurance is again 50 j
heap in Corvallis, and tile policy Ii
holder who fails now to make a ?
leal will stand il bis own light. ]

on threats of raid.
Charles p. Adams of Pawtucket died
Friday morning at that place, aged GA
years. A few years ago he was candi-
date for governor on the greenback
ticket. He was never married.
A remarkably successful trial of a
new Howell torpedo was had at the
Hotchkiss firing station near Tivington,
Friday. The new weapon is built on
the same plan as the ordinary one, but
is Is inches in diameter while the latter
is only II. 1t has long been in prepar-
alton, and this test was an important
one. A charge of $50 pounds was en-
ployed and the torpedo made perfect
line shot, developing a speed of 32.f
knots an hour for 600 yards. The au
tomato brake was set to stop the tor
pedo at 600 yards, and it worked per
tectly. The results are surprisingly
good, and the government may have
an official test.
