OVERRIDING IT.

There is a fast growing sentiment in
this city against the victimizing plan of
the fire insurance companies to impose
the 25 per cent advance on the old prem
ium rates in existance here, and most
merchants feel that it would be cheap
er to burn up than pay the thieving
toll. 1t is not that Astoria has done
anything to invite the excess; she has
not an atom more risk than she ever
had; no policies of government have
been adopted that warrant the new and
Impressive rate; it is a cold blooded
method of securing money to pay the
losses at San Francisco what of them
are to be paid; in other and palmer
words, it is nothing more or less than

treated as such by every property own
er and business man in the city.

policies of the county court in relation

Or is the whole scheme, with its ex-
travagant cost to be left utterly to the
commissioners? It takes money to pay
the constant stream of big bills that are
being paid out of the treasury here

It is sincerely hoped the conference

committee and Colonel Willard Young

plans and costs. The question is a large
one, and means a great deal to the city,

for the deliberateness with which it is
acting; and the hope is abroad that the
exceeding care it is taking, may rebound
to the security and permanency of the
project, when it shall be set on foot.

Arixin of the saying About scttinn
the River ON Fire.

Sometimes when person wants to
make an unpleasant remark In pleas
ant sort OF way about n duh boy he
will say, THAT boy will never set the
river ON fire." Now, that IL all very
true. for even the smartest man In tho
world could never set stream OF wa.
ter on fire, and 30 perhaps many OF
you who have heard this expression
have wondered what is meant by set
ting the river on Are.
In England many, many years ago,
before the millcrs had machinery for
sitting -four, each family was obliged
to sift It's own -four. For doing this
It was necessary TO use sieve, called

too fast the friction would sometimes
cause II to catch fire. and as II was
only the smart, hardworking boys who
could make II 20 30 fast the people
got into the way OF pointing out lazy
boy by saying that he would never set
the tense OH fire. After awhile these
sleeves went out OF use but AZ there
were stll plenty Of stupid boys In the
world people kept on saying that they
would never set the tense on FIRE.
Now, the name OF the river Thames
is pronounced exactly like the word
tense, and so after many years those
persons who had never seen or heard
OF the old fashioned sieve thought that
'setting the tense on fire" meant set
ting the river Thames on fire, This
expression became very popular and
Travelled far and wide until the people
living near other streams did not see
why II was any harder for slothful
boy 10 set the Thames on fire than any
other river. and 80 the name OF the
river was dropped and everybody after
that simply said the river" meaning
