SAN FRANCISCO DISASTER.
The Continental Addresses Timely
Letter to Agents.-Opposed to
Advancing Insurance Rates.


New York. May Z, 1906.
TO CONTINENTAL AGENTS,
GENTLEMEN:- On Monday, May
7th, the following appeared in the
New York Journal of Commerce, and
this and other matter bearing on the
same subject will be reprinted in the
Review" of Thursday, May 10th:
The Continentars position on the
rate question is stated by President
Evans to be as follows:
I'VE believe in a rate that fairly
compensates our stockholders for the
risk the capital and surplus belonging
to them runs, with further profit of
not over per cent for the building
up of a confiagration fund, which of
course would, under the American
method of making statements. become
a part of the so-called net surplus.
''This profit is measured, in our opin
ion, by 121a per cent as maximum
on the premiums earned. Our profit
on the business in Greater New York
has been ever since the formation of
the present rating organization, the
New York Fire Exchange. more than
12k per cent, and our business as a
whole, with a premium income in the
United States of about six million
dollars, showed a profit of more than
I21s per cent for the year 1905.
"Our city confiagration lines are
carefully watched, and we are prepar-
ed to pay any legal claims made up
on us as the result of loss under haZ-
ards covered by our policies. We do
not believe that it is wise or proper
to penalize pToperty-owners in New
York or elsewhere now paying ade-
quate rates because of an unusual
loss due primarily to an earthquake
in San Francisco, and we shall oppose
to the extent of our ability the TAX
ing of such action in New York and
other cities or sections of the coun-
try where the rates are now ade-
quate
''The companies as a whole nave
in the present situation. the opportu-
nifty of the century to put the fire in
surance business on a stable and bus
iness-like basis. winning the good
will and confidence of the public. If,
on the other hand, rate advances are
made that cannot be justified by the
hazard incurred, adverse legislation
is sure to result, and in very short
time the companies now banded to-
gether to jam through these advance
rate resolutions throughout the coun-
try will be at each others throats,
and rate-cutting will be the order of
the day. The Continental is in busi-
ness to stay. and we do not intend
to be stampeded by the Eastern I'm
ions Committee of Fifteen
You will understand from this that
the Continental is utterly opposed to
advancing rates on business tnat is
now profitable. We believe i'm equal

they are too high. and advances in

in Indian Territory will be sold from

Great care is being taken along
this line The names Of the heirs are

TONERS. This Is then checked over
thoroughly and if any doubt exists
as to who are the missing heirs or
petitioners the land is not posted
These lands will be sold in tracts
of 100 acres in the Creek and Sem
mole nations, 80 acres in the Cher.
okce nation and 800 acres in the
Chickasaw and Choctaw nations.
1t Is believed that land offered in
tracts of this size will be eagerly

have perfectly clear title.
This condition was brought about
by the law passed by the last con.
gress 1t is the easiest and quickest
way to settle the estate of deceased
Indian, and is absolutely without cost
TO the Indian. The new blank appli.
cations have been approved and there
are many applications to sell land.
As soon as the land sale begins.
these applications will pour in much
faster.
The land is advertised for sixty
days, and then sold under sealed bids.
provided the bids exceed the apprais.
ed value of the land The land has
to be appraised by the government.
Then the money is divided among the
heirs. They are entitled to draw $50
per month of this money and no
more. unless they show that they
want the money to improve their
homes or buy things they actually
need If they can make a satisfactory
showing on this point, they can draw
all their money at any time but they
have to show receipted bills to the
land division.
1t is believed that practically all
of the dead Indian claims will be sold
in this way.
For the past several months there
has been little sold at the agency.
In many cases there was not a single |
tract listed. This is due to the fact
that hundreds Of restrictions have
been returned through the regular
channels Of the department and be.
