CORRECTs CURTIS
Insurance Commissioner Finds Fault
With an Interview.

Insurance Commissioner E. H. Dearth
was interviewed in the Chicago Record
Herald of yesterday by William E. Curtis,
who is making a campaign against Iowa
insurance companies. Mr.. Dearth said
to-day that the interview made him say
several things that he did not intend to
say. He did not condemn all Iowa insur-
ance companies, but only two or three
that have too heavy expense accounts in
proportion to the business done. When
he said that others had too low rates he
referred only to assessment and fraternal
companies. There We're other inaccura-
cies in the article, but Mr.. Dearth stands
by most Of the interview, which is a
pretty severe criticism Of business meth
DDS of some Iowa companies. He says the
ten-year bond contracts can only be OBJ
tanned under Misrepresentation.

BLAIR's ASSESSMENT STANDS
Declaration that Household Goods Be.
onged to Different Persons Didn't
Go With Board

G. J. Blair, appeared before the board of
equalization this morning, with an appH-
cation for reduction of his personal
property assessment, but his request was
refused. Mr.. Blair insisted that all the
effects of an eight-room house belonged to
various relatives, the goods being parceled
so that all escaped taxation under the 500
exemption.
SCISSOR Morris Coot had the time of his
life last year. Admission was denied and
so he made an arbitrary assessment that
made the Blair household jump. The
deputy was asked to confer, but called it
sessrnent stood. The present assessment
is also arbitrary, but the equalizers be-
lieved the assessor had been conservative

HIS TEETH WORRIED HIM
VIM. Isler Vainly Consulted Twenty
six Doctors and Then Com
mitted Suicide.

Because Of mysterious malady caused
by his teeth, which made him an invalid
and about which he had consulted
twentysix physicians without relief VIII
liam Isler, % years old, took his own life
at St. Paul to-day by shooting himself
in the head. His aged grandmother, Mrs.
Eliza LIE Claire, with whom he lived at
Sc South Wabasha street, found him dead
when she returned from church, whittier
he had begged her to go.
Isler's suicide was evidently carefully
planned. He purchased a revolver I'M
known to his grandmother. About 9
o'clock he persuaded her to go to church
and when she left him he carefully barred
the doors of the little fiat, and, sitting
upon the bed, shot himself in the right
side of the head. Death was probably
instantaneous.

Thomas A. Game of the department Of

wide, between Valley City and Eldridge.
An area of an equal width was survey ed
during the early part Of the season be-
tween Buffalo and Fargo.
Mr.. Game determines the boundaries of
the different types of soil in the area and
locates these types accurately on a map,
each kind Of soil being represented by a
different color. The map, together with a
report, will be published by the depart
ment at Washington and distributed free
among the farmers.
One practical application Of such maps
will be that settlers who come into the
country can make use of them in finding
where the most desirable soils are. The
map will also be used later by the expert
ment station as a basis for experiments.

val beginning Aug. and continuing to

been secured for the event which will I'M

RICH ORE
Skagwayans' Sampl S of
 Splendid Rock

Some of the very richest ore that was ever brought into Skagway was that brought back from Toochi by A. H. MacKay, Dr. H. B. Runnalls and Henry Boshart. The ore is rich in gold and other minerals, there being iron, lead and silver in 1t as well as the more precious metal. The ore will no doubt show value of several hundreds of dollars to the ton.
 The vein from which the ore was found could be traced for more than ., 900 feet from the out croppings. and on the surface the croppings showed a width of vein exceeding two feet. The ore in these croppings is so rich that the prospectors had no difficulty in pan ming out the pure gold from pulver- ized rock.
 The Skagwayans who have just re- turned from the mines each located a a quartz claim, rnnning l5OO feet along the vein, which is on a mountain near Toochi creek. They are highly elated over the find.

'FALL RUSH OF PASSENGERS
 COMING OUT
Many People Will Come From Dawson To Spend the Winter-Movement of the
 Throng Has Begun-Win Increase

for good, but the great majority simply mean 10 spend the winter outside and win return in the spring. There are many more coming out who will go back over the Ice.
 This theory of the passenger situ- aiiOn is borne out by the fact that the travel from the inside has been very light all summer, while the travel to Dawson has been fairly good. All the season the prepOnderanee of the pas sengers bound inside has been great over those coming out. It Is fair to presume that there will be as many Dawsonites winter outside next winter as has been the case heretofore.
 All things considered, there Is gen eral conviction that every steamer from the inside from this on will be loaded.

GOLD COMES
Half Million Added to

"Gold, gold, gold, bright and yellow, hard and cold" in an undlminishing stream Is pouring out from the interior through Skagway and into the great arteries of trade in the states at the south of us. Last night more than half million dollars in rich and shining bars of the yellow metal were received from the interior by the Alaska Pacific Express Company. It will be shipped on the Dolphin to the states, soon after which 1t will enter the channels of trade and begin a work in the financial affairs of the world which will not cease as long as gold shall be money.
The daily morning Alaskan., 1903-09-09

10 may now be said that the fall rush Of passengers from the interior has begun. There were an even 100 pas scugcrs ou the train from Whitehorse last night, the passengers of the Yu- koncr. Dawson and Casca, and from this time on the up stream steamers will have ever increasing lists. Such, at least, Is the judgment oi many who came out last night. Said a well in- formed Davsonite last night;
 "Thcrc are just hundreds and hun drcds ot people to come out from Daw- son and the surrounding country this fan. knew them by the dozens and every body with whom have talked had score, of friends who intend io come out Some of these are coming
