and when decision has been reached
the lessons are handed out to the

The greatest drawback to the hog

surance commissioner, the year 1907
was profitable 80 far as Minnesota
business was concerned.
In the entire state the premiums
for all kinds of fire insurance COM
panies amounted to $7,113, $50; the
losses only %, 1o5, 1888. For 1905, the
premiums for the state were $685.
451, and the losses $3,63S,83S. In
other words, during 1907, the fire in
surance premiums were nearly $780,
600 greater and the losses less than
the year before.
In Minneapolis the premiums were
81 ,889, 213, and the losses but $685., 224.
The city of Minneapolis alone paid
fire insurance companies during the
one year $1,000, 900 more than the
companies returned in the adjust
ment of losses. This tremendous pro-
fit in Minneapolis was also true the
year before, when the premiums were
but little less, $1,627 1856, to losses of
$472, 416.
The above figures do not include
the cost of doing business in the

unable to tell how the man came to

will be made of the body at the

met with foul play.
Nothing was found on the body
which gave clue as to his identity.

have been marketed that the outlook
is not good for a heavy movement OF
