school Population Has Increased,
Double the Usual Number of New
Houses Have Been Built and Busi-
ness Has Advanced All Along-Ite-
futatiou of Saloon Mems Calamity
Predictions.

Two years ago when the local OPP
ton vote was taken in different cities
and counties throughout Oregon, it
was predicted that where local option
carried business stagnation and finan-
cial depression would follow.
In the old established towns where
saloons had been conducted for many
years it was especially pointed out
that city governments could not be
successfully carried ON without Ii
cense money. Property owners in
cities were alarmed at the prospect
of empty houses and shattered busi-
ness conditions and general tremor
of fear ran over Oregon from center
to circumference.
Corvallis, the county seat of Ben
ton county, and the home of oregon
many important cities in the state to
go "dry" and dire results were pre-
dicted by the saloon sympathlzers.
The following review of business for
the past year will reassure the friends
of the local option movement aud con-
vince people that oregon cities can
be conducted safely and intelligently
without saloon aid in any form. The
Times says:
The school population of Corvallis
increased nearly 25 per cent the past
year, double the usual number of
houses were built, the postal receipts
increased 13 per cent, the railroad
tonnage in and out increased 33 1-S
per cent, and according to the annual
report of President Johnson, of the
Citizens League, the volume of trade
at the local business houses was
greater by 10 to 100 per cent.
Not long ago people were told that
If the town went dry, grass would
grow in the streets. business would
be ruined. people would move away,
prices of property would collapse and
calamity in general befall the place.
Conditions prove the predictions to
have been utterly and completely fall
lacious, and remove the main argu-
ment upon which anti-optionists rely
for support of their contention.
Regardless of what the cause may
have been, every citizen knows now,
and no man will gainsay 1t, that Cor
wallis did not suffer in a material way
from local option, but on the con-
trary since the town went dry it has
become bigger than ever before. and
is doing more business than Sver be-
fore.

LIFE INSURANCE.
It's EARLY Struggles and Reverses In
This Country.


The origin Of insurance in this coun-
try dates from 1852 and had its first
beginning in Philadelphia.
The first company was the Philadel-
phia Contrlbutlonship For the Insur-
ance of Houses From Losses by Fire.
and Its insignia was four clasped hands,
which was its house badge. This mark
may still be seen throughout eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey on old
time houses. The company survived
till 1S47, In 1892 the first life lnsur-
ance company was founded in the
same city. 1t was called the Universal
Tontine. The next year similar COM
panies We're started in Boston and in
New York. Its avowed aim was "for
the purpose of raising fund upon lives
to be applied to charitable and other
uses" Its subscription books were
opened on March 30, and five general
agents were appointed.
Some business was done during the
summer, but in November of that year
a general meeting of the subscribers
was called and the idea of a general
insurance company was suggested and
met with approval. The proposition
was referred to committee and at an
adjourned meeting held at the state
house on Nov. IL 1t was resolved that
''the Universal Tontlne association be
and is hereby changed from its original
object and converted into a society to
be called the Insurance Company of
North America" Its first policy was
issued to John Maxwell Nesbitt, its
president, for S5,333.33. 1t wrote both
fire and life insurance, but paid atten-
tion chiefly to the former and gradual
ly dropped life insurance altogether.
In January, 1894, it considered the
policy of insuring persons against cap
ture by the Algerians and insured Cap
tain John Collet ION his person against
Algerians and other Barbary corsairs
in voyage from Philadelphia to Lon
don in the ship George Barclay, him
self master, valuing himself at 5000"
The premium charged was per cent.
Two similar policies were issued, but
the premium was increased to per
cent. Two similar policies were is
sued, approved, one on the life of John
Holker, from June G to Sept. 10; for
$4,000, at IL per cent premium, and
one on the life of Albert Briols de Beau
mez, for eighteen calendar months, in
the sum of $1,000. The demand for
insurance on life was light and the
business, which was finally abandoned
by the first company, was not revived
until 1920, when Hartford men took it
up and kept it running till it gained
the great prosperity of modern times.

SHOT HIMSELF THROUGH LEG
Gun Slipped While Beating Another
Man Over the Head.

Striking Charles Seaton over the
head with the barrel of a As Colts
revolver, Tom Platts. a we'll known
mining man of Rye Valley. shot him
self in the leg by accident shortly
after o'clock last night, says the
Baker City Herald.
The trouble, during which the
shooting occurred, was the culmina-
ton of a personal quarrel which has
been going on between Seaton and
Platt for the past month, the particu-
lars of which are not divulged by
either party. AS result of the fight
Seaton has a badly battered head
and Platt has a painful. but not seri-
Gus bullet hole through his left leg
below the knee.
Yesterday afternoon Seaton, who
was drinking rather heavily, called at
the Pleasanton rooming house on
Washington street and informed Mrs.
Plat, who is staying there with her
husband, that he intended to kill Tom
Platt before morning. When her
husband returned home about G
o'clock in the evening, Mrs. Platt in
formed him of the threat. Platt
armed himself with a As Colts revol-
yer determined that he would be a
lively corpse If it came to show
down. stt
A few minutes later Seaton came up
in front of the Pleasanton and Platt
went forth to settle the trouble. He
greeted Seaton by saying: 81 under
stand you are looking for me-" Sea-
ton replied that he was and plunged
his hand into his overcoat pocket as
| though to draw a gun. Platt was too
quick for him, however, and whipping
on the trigger so that he might de-
fend himself in case Seaton attempt
ed to fire, he states, and struck Sea-
| ton over the head with the barrel OF
the gun. The gun glanced from Sea-
! TINS head and the force of the blow
carried it down so it pointed directly
at Platt's leg just below the knee,
striking the bone and came out again
about two inches below.
Plat did not realize that he was
shot and proceeded to continue his
hammering of his adversary. He
knocked him down and says that he
would have given him the beating
which Platt alleges he deserved, had
not bystanders interfered and taken
the gun away from him. Platt then
turned and went into the house, after
which he discovered his wound for
the first time.

Picking Geese.

1t is all right to pluck old geese when
their feathers are ripe ana begin to
mott. which will occur about this time.
and If only the feathers that come easy
are plucked 1t Is beneficial and not in
furious to them, 1t is poor policy to
pick geese more than once year and
not advisable to pick the goslings at all.
In plucking a goose draw a stocking
over its head to avoid being bitten. Do
not pick the feathers that cover the
wing butts, rs it viii cause the wings
TO drop and means lots of trouble for
the goose. Do not pick feathers grow
ing in the back or the down on any part
of the body 1t would make nice pill
lows, but let it be. 1t is enough to pick
the down from those killed for market.
