Commissioner Carr is being joked by
his friends over letter he recently re-
ceived from Il well-knowny insurance
agent in Portland. This gentlemen
frequently receives mail addressed to
the insurance commissioner. He opens
it and should it be intended for Mr..
Carr it is promptly forwarded. The
other day he received a copy of The
Insurance Sun" published in San Fran
cisco He wrote to Mr.. Carr that he
did not see what there was to interest
him unless it was the article on page
81 which told how to become proficient
in poker.
The commissioner will write back
that il could not have been that article
as he is already an expert. The friends
of the commissioner doubt this asser
ton and are willing to try his powers.
Should a meeting be arranged it will
be prolific of much fun. but as the COM
missioner is tender hearted and such
an expert. it is doubtful if he will play
with his friends and take their money
away from them.
