WASHINGTON, Dec. 12,-Indica ations
point to long continued hearing of the
cases of the Washington and Oregon
lumber manufacturers against various
western and northwestern railroads
which are on trial before tho interstate
commerce commission
A. G.. Dixon, sales agent for the Booth
Kelly lumber company of Eugene, Oregon,
was on the stand all day yesterday and
nearly all of today. His testimony covered
in minute detail the operations of the
northwestern lumber men, particularly
those of his own company. which is one
Of the largest.
Today Mr.. Dixon was placed under
cross examination and he maintained
that the rates made in accordance with
tho advance of tariffs of the northern
lines rendered it impossible for the
Washington and Oregon lumber manu-
facturers to market their product at
points east of the Rocky mountains at
a profit; in fact they tend to put u ma
jority of the lumbermen out of busi-
ness
He said this was the plan of the rail-
roads until such time, perhaps, as it
would be absolutely necessary for the
consumers to resort to the Pacific north
west for their lumber.

SACRAMENTO. Cal. Dec. Estate
Insurance Commissioner E. Myron Wolfe
has rendered his annual report to Gov
lernor Gillett. Wolfe does not go deeply
into any proposed reform matters. He
advises legislation to be enacted that
will prevent mutual insurance companies
permitting rebating. but the major portion
of his report is given up to statistics and
accounts of the benefits that have re-
suited from the changes made in the in
surance laws by the last regular session
Iof the legislature.
The report shows that the total num-
ber of companies authorized to transact
insurance business in California during
1906 was 237. Fifteen companies gave
notice in 1906 that they desired to with
draw from the state and nine surrendered
their certificates of authority. Sixteen
were given permission to transact busi-
ness in California.
The total premiums received and losses
paid by all companies transaeting bust
lness in the state during 1906 were as fol-
lows:
Premiums received, 2S,5ol e14.6l; losses
lpaid. $l52. $50. 9iS76 The amount written
during 1906 exceeded that of 1905 by
SIS, 799, ,60S.06. The premiums received show
an increase of S3,015, ,304SS and the losses
paid were greater than these in 1905 by
