BEWARE UNSAFE
INSURANCE
POLICIES

At least six fire insurance COM
panies, which have done business
In Spokane with in the past year,
are reported as failed since the San
Francisco disaster.
At least one other company is re-
ported to be on the verge Of col
lapse.
Other companies are turning
their business to other concerns
which were not affected by San
Francisco losses.
The six companies which are re-
ported as having given up business
In the United States are:
The Duchess Fire Insurance
company of Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
the Home Fire & Marine Insurance
company of San Francisco, the
Firemen's Fund Insurance com.
pany of San Francisco, the Traders
Insurance company of Chicago, the
North German Insurance company
OF New York, ad the German In
surance company of Peoria, Ill.
Different methods are in vogue
on the part of agents for the
busted" companies. Some notify
their policy holders that the COM
panies are out of business and seek
to have the policies transferred to
other companies. In such case
the loss to the policy holder is con-
fined to unexpired premiums. Some
agents are settling claims as they
are able on unearned premiums.
Others are asking for assignments
Of claims for future settlement.
One firm has asked it's clients to
come in and hear the situation,
after which the client is supposed
to be fully informed.
The rs per cent raise is in effect
in all cases of transfer of policy.
There Is a matter of business
ethics connected with the men in
the defunct Home Fire & Marine
and the Firemen's Fund concerns.
A new company is being formed in
each instance to start out on a new
career not related in the least to
the clientele of the old concerns.
Seattle papers quote Secretary
listed of the Merchants Exchange
as follows:
81 have been at the very seat OF
the insurance trouble, and you can
take my word that there are thou
sands of policies now out to diff
ferent parties on the Coast that are
absolutely worthless. Companies
have been forced to the wall by the
San Francisco disaster, and the
general public has not been ap.
prised of their failure.
I'm San Francisco every COM
pany which can not pay is known,
but to those on the outside who
have not paid the close attention
TO the matter they will only find
out through an accident that they
are absolutely unprotected. |
would recommend that every policy
holder in Seattle take a look at
his insurance papers. There Is
danger In overlooking the matter"

THE WORRIED WOMEN.

They say men must work and
women must weep; but alas, in
this too busy world women often
have to work and weep at the
same time. Their holidays are
too few and their work heavy
and monotonous. It makes them
nervous and irritable. The de-
pressed and worried woman loses
her appetite and grows thin and
feeble. Once in a while she has
spells of palpitation and has to
lie up for day or two. If some
disease like influenza or malarial
fever happens to prevail she is
almost certain to have an attack
of it, and that often paves the
way for chronic troubles of the
throat, lungs and other organs;
and there is no saying what the
end may be. Let the tired and
overladen woman rest as much
as possible; and, above all, place
at her command a bottle of

Tho Manhattan Mail, the pioneer
publication Of this camp, Ii printed on
a Washington hand press. Not that an
old Washington is mn unusual piece of
machinery III these days but this par
ticular press is one OF the oldest in the
west, having been used by the Marys-
vile Appeal in he early sixties being
secondhand ever then.
The prcss was moved, together with
the material, from Belmont. the former
county seat of Nye county, where Hon.
Andrew Maute, now the state printer,
used the press to publish the Belmont
Courier, one of the papers, that made II
name for him and tho county he repre-
scented in Legislative halls and later on
the general staff of the state,
lie TOOK charge in 1919 and maintain
ed the publication up to 1889, when he
moved 10 Carson, and the paper WA al
lowed to rest in 1892, to be revived in
Manhattan, but fifteen miles from its
former home.
The old press was a resident Of Carson
for Il number OF years, being brought
from Marysyille, California, i'll :he early
sixties, where it was used to print the
Marysvills Appeal. \ bull team hauled
it over tie SUBMITS to Carson. Upon
its arrival i'll this city it was used to pro.
ducc the Carson Independent, the first
daily paper printed at the capital.
From there the press was installed in
the Office OF the Carson Daily Appeal
and remained there until placed in the
back ground by Il cylinder press.
Tho ncxt pnpcr To take a turn mt the
old boy was the Carson Register, and
when that paper died the press WIS re-
moved to Belmont. This was in 1870,
when that camp was one OF the GyelicGt
in the state.
As the press is doing rs good work ms
my in the state. its life 10 yet young and
the probabilities are That 1t will pass to
camps and help make money and
records FOR the men who come within It's
inky shade. 1t ia a relic but a mighty
good ouo.
