TO REGULATE COMPANIES,
Provisions of Bills to be Recommend
ed by Commissioner Cooper to
a.. Governor Burke.

Insurance Commissioners E.
C. Cooper will present to Gov.
Burke his annual report and
recommendations. The report
is one of the most important
ever made in the state. In it
the commissioner recommends
the passage of I8 bills, II re-
lating to life insurance COM
panies and recommended by
the committee of Is appointed
at national meeting, and the
other relates to fraternal in
surance. The terms of the
proposed bills were made pub
lie yesterday. :
The bill relating to fraternal
insurance is very important
one. It provides among other
things that the rates of the fra
ternal n 8 u ance companies
shall be based on the American
experience table, which requires
adequate rates. This section
will increase the rates of COM
panies new in the business
which make very low rates to
secure m m b ers and few
years later would be compelled
to charge a very high rate. The
law will practically do away
with the kind of competition
that now exists and the frater-
nal societies would have to
base their arguments on econ
omy in management. The sur
plus secured by assessments
must be distributed at the end
of the year to policy holders.
The bill also provides for the
valuation of Certificates and the
designation of a plan Of insur-
ance. a
The other bills Recommend
ed provide:
That there be standard pol
icy and that all policies must be
submitted to the commission
ers.

visiting the basement a very

floor a fine cement floor is in it's
stead. Also a cess pool to drain
all the water off. All this work
is due to Mr.. Amsbaugh who

get this work done.
Among the new pupils in the
lower grades are, Adlai Foster

Peter Johnson and Signe
Lundquist 4th grade. Robert

There are rumors that our
old time merchant Theodore

the merchantile business in this
city. He has many friends who
will wish him we'll in this or
any other venture he may en-.

Charles Erb has opened a
meat market in the r. w. Laz-
ier building and will cater the
hungry. Mr.. Erb. is an exper-
ianced butcher and will treat
the public in proper shape. He
carries a good stock of meats of
all kinds and the other good
things to be found in a first
class meat market.
Phil Halls our popular bar
Der is on the sick list and we
are all sorry not to see his
smiling countenance at his u.s.
al place of business but hope
that he will not be long this
way.
Willow, with the other places
in the state is on the verge of a
fuel famine. There is no hard
coal in town and very little
wood or soft coal. No one
seems to understand why there
is such a shortage of fuel
through out the Northwest but
if the railroads can show a fall
ing off of freight receipts and
a consequent cutting down of
dividends the business interests
may be brought to see that
Congress and the several states
must not dip into railroad af-
fairs.

The Legislature Met at Bismarck
Monday Noon.
WHAT IS EXPECTED
All the Way from Nothing to Every
thing Has Been Promised--All Of
Which Is Expected.

thing Has Been Promised---All of
Which Is Expected.
The legislature which con-
vented Bismarck Monday has a
great opportunity to pass a lot
of freak legislation which has
been prepared, or turn it down.
Some of the wise reformers of
the east seem to have seen a
star settle over Bismarck, and
are already worshiping before
the democratic manger.
Every reform, from rate
legislation to the man who
would compel seed corn to wear
the union label, is looking for
his particular brand of saliva
ton to win out this time sure.
All the conservative citizen
hopes to do is to prevent the
freakist from freaking.
The democrats have taken
possession of the state, and
profess to believe nothing short
of Bryan or Hearst will satisfy
the people. They count the
insurgent vote as valuable and
useful political asset, an orphan
turned out of home, which they
are willing to board for what
work they can get out of him.

members of the two houses.
