people, as we'll as the STABILITY OF
the settlement. It is evident
that the moral hazard of risks
in community like this would
be much better than mushroom
towns and unsettled commune
ties. Mr.. Magill recognized this
fact and battled for a long time
with the combine to get a re-
duction of rates in Corvallis
and other old established towns.
This request the combine ig-
nored by placing Corvallis and
similarly situated towns under
the same tariff as in districts that
have proved disastrous to the
companies. The result of this
was and is that the customers of
the companies in such towns as
Corvallis, where the losses have
been light, must pay unfairly
the insurance of people in haz-
ardous districts.
Being opposed by the combine
in his efforts to secure reduction
in Benton county of the exorbi-
tant rates charged, Capt. Magill
withdrew his companies from the
union, and is now prepared to
give on each individual risk
rate that is fair and adequate.
The combine, we understand, has
boasted that it would wipe out of
existence the two companies of
which the nervy Magill is mana
ger, but we predict that it has
undertaken a job not easily ac-
complished, for the Phoenix and
Home are the two leading AMER
IcAN companies.
Those companies have been
represented in Corvallis since al
most the "time of the oldest in
habitant. - Years ago Judge
Chenoweth acted as agent for
these two "old timers whose
solidity has become more ap-
parent with age. Since Judge
Chenoweth retired from active
business life the Corvallis inter
ests of the companies have been
looked after by F. M. Johnson.
The little tin sign "Phenix of
Hartford" over the door of some
of our pioneer buildings tells
tale that needs no explanation to
old residents. 1t is like the
motto of the old Phoenix, which

WAR HAS BEEN DECLARED!
It Will be Waged in the Inter
est of Property Owners and
for the Right.

Exciting events still continue
to keep the minds of Corvallis
ties in a state of activity. Elec-
tions, shootings, fires and other
unusual events have occurred in
quick succession, and now we
are promised a regular war-a
war that will agitate the gray
matter of some of our best citi-
zens' brains, and that will be of
lively interest to the owners of
insurable property. Dodgers
scattered around the streets to-
day announce that an insurance
rate war is on. The moving
and attacking parties are the
Phoenix and Home Insurance
companies, who, through their
local agents, announce that TO-
morrow they will begin a fierce
onslaught on the present insur-
ance rates ia Corvallis and vi
cinity.
Ten years ago an organization
was formed in San Francisco
styling itself the Pacific Insur-
ance Union. Its purported OBJ
ject was the establishing and
regulating of insurance rates on
the coast. But it seems that it
soon resolved itself into a COM
bine to maintain high rates,
without regard to equity or JUS
tice, and its policy was largely
dictated by foreign companies.
AS the organization grew older
its usurpation of authority be-
came more intolerant and more
ini1nical to the interests of in
surers.
For thirty years past, Mr.. A.
E. Magill has been coast mana
ger of Phoenix and Home Insur-
ance companies and during that
time made careful study of the
coast business. He became,
during this long period, very fa-
miliar with the different locali-
ties in his jurisdiction and the
various classes and types of peo-
pie, as we'll as conditions exist
ing throughout the coast. In
surance men have an expression,
moral hazard" to describe the
temperament and habits of the

MILD FORM OF LEPRosY.-Although
William Bryant and William Douglas,
two Brooklyn colored boys, are afflicted
with leprosy, the health authorities
there are by no means alarmed. They do
not believe it will be necessary to pre-
vent the association of the boys with
o.her persons. William Bryant is seven
years old, and lives at No. 1913 Sack
man street. William Douglas is seven
teen years old. He lives at No. so st.
James place. Both boys came to
Brooklyn from St. Kits two years ago,
and are now said to have been afflicted
with leprosy ever since they came TO
this country. 1--WE have had those
cases under surveillance for some time, "
said Health Commissioner Emery, yes,
.erday. "There is really no danger of
the spread of the disease from either
case. because the form of the malady
which afIiicts the two unfortunates is
not at all contagious. There is no ne,
ccssitv for their isolation. The form OF
the malady in these cases is purely
! eryous, and there are none of the
# .nsive conditions that accompany
SIX n leprosy. Although there is no
danger, the father of one Of the boys
has lost his position because it was re-
ported that his son was leper.-N. Y.

Laugh.

Don't forget to laugh. Laugh when you arc happy, laugh when you arc anus ed. laugh at yourself for being bored. There is always something to laugh at, and even when ono is reduced to laughing at oneself that is worry much better than to be "glum."
 This is what laughter does for woman: It keeps her heart young. ItInakcs her liko people for tho sako of tho pleasure they givo her, and they, in turn, like her. It makes her steps buoyant. It keeps her eyes bright. Itkcops her face from wrin- kling. It is a beautifor second to no oth, or ono It does for tho muscles of the face whnt exercise docs for those of the body keeps them supple and preventsthem irons falling into thoso stiff and settled lines which mean old age.
 Thore is no situation in life, except of course tho inevitable tragic moments, that may not be bcttered by laughter. It is hard to burlosquo onc's gricfs and an noyanccs, but it can be dono, and it is worth doing. To travesty one's emotions and to mako mockery of ones annoy. anees may not seem to bo the highest form of philosophy, but it is not so low ono as to fret over trials and grow pcssimistiG over personal wocs.-Ncw York World.
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-04-02
Iarks.

Tho trade in larks all over the world is enormous and execrablc and is Gs largo ill England as in Italy. It should at onco be mado penal by heavy fines on the trappers, the vendors and tho eaters, or oro long no more will tho lark be heard on tho earth. It is admitted by all who know anything of the subject that agriculture would be impossible without tho aid of birds as the larvse and developed insects of all kinds would make desert of the entire area of cultivated land.
 This is well known, yet all over the world tho destruction of birds rages un checked, and no attempt is made to pro tect them, to interdict their public salo and to enable them to nest and rear their young in peace. A scientific writer has said that the destruction of tho individual is unimportant, but the destruction of tho typo is n crime. He was speaking of tho destruction of the great aux. As matters go- now, unless some stringent measures arc taken, the birds of Europe will in the next century Do as extinct as is now tho dinornis. The ornithophil societies of France and Switzerland have moro than once written to mo that unless birds bo protected in Italy they must perish all over Europe, since so great variety of races wing their way to the south in win ter and there arc ruthlessly murdered.- Ouida in Nineteenth. Century
