UUTUaL IASURguCE
FOR STauDING GRaIN
Company Proposed at Recent
Wheat Convention Plans
Organization.

The subcommittee appointed by
E. A. Bryan, president of the Wash
ington State College has outlined the
plan for a farmers mutual insurance
company. This is in compliance with
the purpose of the Wheat Growers
Association to establish insurance for
farmers on grain in the field and at
rates much lower than those demand
ed by regular companies. The com
mittee appointed at the recent wheat
convention consits of E. A. Bryan,
Pullman; D. A. Scott. Ritzville.
Bryan Westacott, Garfield and ], c.
Farr, Albion. The sub committee is
local one and includes J. S. KLEIN
gard, Hon. w. l.. LaFollete, o. E.
Young, j. c. Farr and Thos. Neill.
The following is the report in sub
stance which will be subpmitted to
the Wheat Growers s Association Com
mittee at an early date.
The company shall be listed in each
county, and the maximum insurance
shall be $1,000 on each quarter section
of land. The minimum assessment
will not be lower than one half old
line company rates; payment of the
assessment shall be required in ad-
vance.
The surplus, should one accrue, is
to be carried over through the years
when losses are slight, and applied to
policies in the years when the losses
exceed the assessment. The policies
are to cover losses to grain on the
land when in sack, stacks. or growing.
and when stored in graneries on the
field. This excludes everything in
warehouses either belonging to the
railroads or corporations.
Risks are to be classed according
to exposure, that is proximity to nom
insured grain and to the railroads.
Glass" A"will he considered the babsis
in making rates and consists of grSdr
which is ur..5xposed in ary way. Che
policy fee in addition TO the rreseribed
assessment will be ST. and all poll
cies will hold good for ninety days
and are dated from July Is of each
year.
When any county carries $3.50, 900 or
more insurance it will constitute a
district by itsel regulating the basis
for determining the loss suffered in
that particular county.
The report of the committee
will be passed upon by the Associa-
tion committee and following its ac-
ceptance the necessary steps will be
taken to secure a charter from the
State Insurance Board.
The successful elimination of the
project means much to wheat and grain
growers of Washington. By mutually
insuring their grain it is believed that
the heavy payments exacted by nation
al insurance companies can be very
materially decreased.

year in mining, is now with the Taco

purpose of boosting the college.
The department of zoology has
secured from the American Museum
of Natural History set of restorations
for the college exhibit. The restora-
tions include pictures of extinct North
American animals, % in all. 1t is
not often that such set of pictures is
obtainable and the department was
fortunate in being in position to
take advantage of the sale.
"A large number of inquiries are
being received by Professor Elliott
regarding alfalfa. The letters come
from all sections of the state and in
dicate increased interest among the
farmers. The probabilities are a
large increased acreage will be sown
this year. Many of the inquiries
come from districts where alfalfa
growing has not been demonstrated as
a success.

photographs constitute a striking
pictorial presentation and lend
especial interest to the book

people of all countries in their
cities. towns and villages-in

thunder storm arriving at the
same time we did gave us the
choice OF wet camp in the canon
or a seven mile drill home. We
accepted the latter alternative
and arrived at camp little after
nine o'clock, damp, fshless and
ready for bed.
Wednesday was spent reaching
Crystal creek. The drive across
the mesa was remarkable in the
fact of the change that had taken
place in the brief two weeks that
had passed since we came over
In that time Jack Frost had
painted the hills in a thousand
hues To our mind no more
beautiful sight is to be seen in the
hills than the vivid autumn colors
interspersed with the dark green
of the balsam and pine and the
delicate silver OF the silver spruce.
Painters ay strive at will but
they will never be able to COM
pete with the frost king in con
structing so grand a view, in com
b'ning colors so harmoniously, in
lifting the observer above the
earth and fixing his eye on nature
and her handiwork.
The trip was a marvel OF
pleasure and rest. We are framing
up another over the same ground
for next year We feel that We
have overlooked several bets by
failing to take an autumn vaca-
tion and fishing trip heretofore.
We do not intend to miss one

Another thing that we shall all
remember is that Pete Vogel is a
very dangerous man to run races
with. particularly on side hill
road
At Cebolla Fred and Weldon
Hammond each took a four
pound rainbow trout from the
water. Considering that the fish
were taken eight miles above the
springs we consider these very fair
FISH. Guy Hammond also took
three pound brook trout from
the same place and this, too, was
a record FISH.
On Thursday. Weldon Ham
mond.. Verne Rawalt and Mr..
Watterhouse returned home and
the balance of the trip was COM
pletcd by the FIVE remaining. The
1Itor assumed the role OF path
finder and se went over the old
Richardson road to Gunnison. On
the Aberdeen hill we broke a
double tree but Pete Vogel made
new one from a quaking aspen
IN Just ten minutes. Pete also
made some remarks of an uncom-

our judgment IN the selection OF
OF a trail which made US think

the night when he maliciously
tampered with the Jug at Cebolla
We spent Sunday IN Gunnison,
but Mr.. Alexander and the writer
went up the romicni and spent
Sunday night with Is. Coates at
his magnificent ranch. His is
probably the finest appointed and
convenient ranch in Gunnison
county and our visit was made
most pleasant by both MIR. and
Mrs. Coates. A fine basket OF

to FISH back to camp during the
night, it being stated that night
