The change embraces advanced and

Hyde's grammar. which has been in

\ few years ago the Indiana School
Book company furnished practically
all the text books in use in the pub

this agency that the high

But educators have all along contend

OREGON MEN LOSERS
Ten Millions o. Insurance Said to Be
Virtually Worthless.

PORTLAND, Or, July 3l-Oregon
property-owpers have about Sl0,0o0,000
fire insurance that is worth little more
than the paper on which the policies are
written. This fact is known to lead
ing insurance men, 70 the largest policy
holders and to others.
Four of the large insurance compa.
MES formerly doing business in this
State became insolvrnt as a result of
the San Francisco fire. Their Oregon
policies at the date OF the 1905 report
of the Insurance Commissioner were ma
terially above $lO,000,O0, and are prob
ably higher at this time. Each Of these
four companies has $4,000 on deposit
with the State officials TO protect local
policy-holdcrs, making n total of $780,
900 as the maximum assets to covor
more than $10,00O,0OO possible liabili-
ties. a fire in PortlcDd might easily
efface this reserve for Oregon, leaving
something like S9.S00.0O FIRE insurance e
in the State practically worthless.
