HAUGEN OFFERING

Insurance Company is coming to San
Francisco and may arrive next week.
Haugen is president of the State Bank
of Illinois, which was named to take
charge of the assets of the Traders
Company
losses against the Traders is sup
posed to be contained in the announce
ment that he will come here to look
into the interests of the company. 1t
is rumored that he will make a sub
stantial offer that may persuade the
fire losers to sign off their claims and
take millions in coin after seven
months of waiting. This lends pc
cu1iar interest to Haugen's move

Marshal Hale has returned from Chi
caeo. where, in his capacity Of presi-
dent of the Traders Policy-holders
Company, he called on the receiver
and was instrumental in proceedings
that may lead to suits against the
stockholders of the company in their
Individual capacity. This may be the
move that started Haugen on the way
to San Francisco. Within few weeks
after the fire a majority of the stock
holders of the Traders went into court
in Chicago and had a receiver ap-
pointed. This tied up ithe assets and
has resulted in keeping the losers out
of their money.
The policy-holders showed their
temper at the outset. They refused
to take 20 cents on the dollar wher
Attorney Bates recommended that
they should accept that sum in settle
ment. They have since adhered tc
their claim that 100 cents on the dol
lar could be paid If the stockholders
would practice ordinary business hon

Instead of leading his AK suit, A
rushes to trumps Immediately, and up

clear his club suit A continues the
trump, on the theory already outlined,
that his partner must have something
very good in the red suits which is
correct. AS, A has the clubs he thinks
there is nothing like getting the
trumps out of the way, so as to make
the plain suits good for tricks.

clubs. Dummy still has shoppers in
both red suits, and as the doubling
hand will probably have to lead them
UP to him, he has fair chance to get
in and make those two club tricks
Trick Eff A had led this singleton
earlier, while he still had some trumps
to ruff out the suit, he might have ac-
complished something by the lead.
Trick S-B sees that dummy must
make a trick in one of the red suits,

card the jack of hearts.

Company alone represents claims OF
more than s1,50O,000.
The volume OF claims represented is
increasing every week. Now that the
losers threaten the stockholders with
suits, the stockholders at Chicago
wish to have a settlement and get the
entire matter Off their hands
BY reason of the fight that has
been put up the adjuster of the COM
pany in Oakland has been instructed
to begin to adjust losses. which is the
first step toward a settlement.

WOMEN MAKE ODD JEWELRY.

Especially Successfully With Semi.
Precious Stones Now in Use.
Women goldsmiths and jewellers are
having considerable success both in
Europe and America. The ablest of
them are regularly instructed in
schools of design and in shops of
working jewellers and goldsmiths.
Much of their work is in the semi
! precious stones now popular. These
owe their charm to the tasteful fashion
in which they are mounted and ar
ranged
The women jewelers. have been es-
pecially successful in designing chains,
collars, necklaces and the like, in
which semi-precious stones are mount
ed in gold Of pleasing decorative de-
sign. An eye for color, a sure taste in
matters of form, and dizziness and
manual skill are the necessary equip
ment for this kind of work.
Some of the women jewelers. are
skilled in other departments of the
trade. They are apt at enamelling, an
art to women have only of recent years
given attention.
1t takes very short time for a
clever girl to learn the art of enamel
ling on copper land many small copper
vessels enamelled within, and hatpins,
watch fobs, and the like are made by
women. A school in Boston teaches
copper enamelling to a small class
of women annually, and within the
year most of them acquire consider
able skill in the art.
Rings deliberately chased and set
with precious stones are made by wo-
men jewelers., though they do less of
such work than work in enamelling
and in semi-precious stones. Most Of
the work in precious stones is still
in the hands of men, and there are
few women diamond cutters.

The City Government.
The city government compares fav-
orably with any city in the northwest
for honest, intelligent and able offic-
ials. While not close as to stunt the
growth of the city, the council has
not been extravagant, but has care
fully and considerably expended the
peoples money, with an eye single to
the greatest good to all the people.
In the election and appointment Of Of
ficials, politics have been strictly es-
chewed, and the aim has always been
to elect and appoint those who were
best fitted for the several duties.

8. o. Bondelid, Thomas Kelly, George
Larmour and H. s. Hanson are the
aldermen; N. ]. Powell is Auditor; r.

H. Pugh, City Attorney.
The Fire Department.
Closely allied to the city government
is the fire department with good en-
CINE, hose. carts, wagons, ladders and
other apparatus for the fighting of
fires, the management being under
the following gentlemen: G. A. Lar
mour president; E. L. Richter, secre-
tary, and A. Bridgeford. chief.
The Electric Light Plant.
The electric light plant, established
in 1899, is owned by the municipality,
and is on a paying basis. The plant
furnishes light TO rthe streets, resi-
dences and business houses and has
reserve power for the running of any
industries that may require the
same.
The Churches.
All the leading religious beliefs are
represented in the city by commodious
churches, which are we'll supported
by our citizens. The Methodist,
Presbyterian, Catholic, Episcopal, Free
Methodist and Lutheran denomina-
tions all have edifices of which any
city may we'll be proud and the pas
torates are filled by able and earnest
men, so that the moral interests of
the community are of high standard.
The Schools.
Larimoreites never tire of praising
their excellent schools. The three
city school buildings are grouped in a
block set apart for school purposes,
about the center of the city and pre-
sent tasteful, symetrical and impos-
ing appearance, testifying eloquently
to the progress and intelligence of
the people and containing in all ~
assembly and class rooms, heated by
steam and ventilated on we'll thought
out, modern plans. In these buildings
are found all the accessories for the
best educational advantages which our
excellent school system affords, in

Secret and Benevolent Societies.
In this age, where in almost every
hamlet Of the land we see mystic
signs hung out, informing the way
farer that band of people meet for
mutual counsel, signs Of the times
that the brotherhood of man is ap-
preaching, one may almost Judge Of
the intelligence, prosperity and pro-
gressiveness of the people by the
number and kind of societies that
have gained foothold. Here the staid
old Masonic principles have gained
sure foundation; Pythianism promul-
gates its lessons of love; Oddfellow-
ship points the good old way; the
Eagles teach the aerial fight; while
the A. o. U. w., M. w. A., Foresters,

voices; the Ladies' axxiliaries, o. E. s.
Rebekahs. Rathbone Sisters, D. of H.
and Royal Neighbors attest the fact
that the ladies have taken up the work
also. The G. A. R. and Relief Corps
have organizations; and few adher.
ents of secret societies can step into
town without meeting a brother.
Building improvements.

evidenced in the permanent character
of its buildings. We might laud the
town to the skies, We may talk of it's
inexhaustible resources, it's wealth.

blocks, residences have been erected
all over the city, large, substantial and
imposing, all being fully in accord
with the great future the citizens see
before them.
Railroads and Transportation.

more is indeed fortunate, as the Great
Northern radiates to each principal
point of the compass. The main line
furnishes an outlet east and west,
while the Breckenridge and Hannah
line furnishes outlet north and south.

Thousands of acres of the finest

city's very doors. The soil cannot be
excelled in any climate, state or coun.
try, for its productiveness and the va
riety of grain and vegetables which
it gives up to the honest labor of the

Climate.
This locality is indeed favored as
the climate is everything people of an
Industrious and vigorous nature could
wish for. Many eastern and southern
people have imagined this country too
cold for a civilized people to live in

time when the word "Larimore" was
uttered with a SILVER But experience
has taught us that the course of en-
pire is westward and northward, and
Larimore is now far south of the far

vigorous are healthful owing to the
dryness and clearness of the atmos-
phere. The health Of the people IL.
