OrOndO Property Sold.

Last Saturday County Treasurer
Fawley, pursuant to an order of the
board of county commissioners, sold
about 25 acres of land in the old
townsite of Orondo, belonging to the
county, says the Douglas County
Press. This land was acquired by
the county during the hard times
for taxes. There were some few
choice lots but the most of the land
laid Immediately adjoining the river
and was of little value for agricul-
tural purposes. j. B. Smith, L. c.
Ross, D. c. Towne and Ole Ruud
were the purchasers.
County Supt. T. c. Hartley and
Sheriff J. d. Logan took a little f1ier
In few of the lots but got cold feet
and unloaded their holdings to the
above purchasers. We are informed
that an effort will be made to have
the original town of Orondo AMI
Smiths first and second additions
to the same vacated by the commits
siOners as it possesses no value as
town property and is only valuable
for agricultural purposes.

FOREST FIRES
RAGING NEAR
PESHAST|N
UNKNOWN MAN WHO FIRED TIM
BER AND SHOT AT TWO MEN
STILL AT LARGE-RESIDEN
ARE TERRORIZED.

The most disastrous forest fires in
the history of Chelan county are now
raging east of Peshastin, according
to Sheriff Ferguson, who returned
last night from the affected sections.
The fire is burning fiercely in Eagle
and Darby Clutches and If it is not
soon stopped it will clear off the tim
ber on the headwaters of the Swa-
kane and Entiat.
Sheriff Ferguson went to Peshastin
Thursday afternoon and found the
people in a state of terror. No effort
was being made to stop the devasta-
tion of the flames. An attempt had
been made to assassinate Harry Love
and Forest Ranger Blankenship, who
had sought to restrain the firing of
the timber by some unknown man.
The assassin was surprised by Harry
Love, a Is year old boy, and the boy
received a shot through his hat.
Blankenship was also fired upon
twice while riding through the tim
Der.
After arriving at Peshastin Thurs
day afternoon Sheriff Ferguson depu-
tized the whole community and soon
had 40 or SO armed men patrOlling
the section affected by the fire. He
easily located the spot where the
assassin was sitting when he fired
upon Blankenship. With this clue
he sent to Spokane for Harry Dra-
per's bloodhounds but Draper was
out of the city when the message
arrived. Mr.. Ferguson had word
from him this morning, but owing to
the time that had elapsed it was
tho~sht that the dogs would have
but little chance to pick up the scent.
Neither Love nor Blankenship can
identify the man who did the shoot
ing and fired the timber The re-
port at first was that the man was
an Indian, but as a matter of fact
the men were so badly scared that
they could not swear as to the color
of the man.
Nothing in the history Of Peshas-
tin has so stirred the community as
have the events of the past few days
Neighbors are watching neighbors
and fearing another outbreak, either
In the form of a shot or the starting
of another fire.
Sheriff Ferguson expects to return
to Peshastin and help solve the mys.
terry. The underbrush is so thick
that man trailing is very difficult in
the PeShaStin hills

$29.96O.00

1t is estimated that the assessed
valuation for the city for the COM
ing year will be little over $1,000
600, and in order to produce S29.960
the estimated expenses, it will be
necessary for the board to make a
levy of 1414 mills. Last year the
levy was but mills, thus the levy
this year will be almost three times
the rate of taxation of last year.
The council last year did not real
ize the development that was to
take place. The census taken was
something like $500 people IN this
city and the census taken in July
was $3.50 people, thus indicating the
rapid growth which has taken place
within the past year in the popula-
tfon. With the increase of people
new homes have been built in re-
mote additions. These mean new
streets. new cross walks, extension
of water systems and a great deal
OF money out of the general fund.
The council this year has in mind
the making of sufficient levy to
carry on the increased business of
the city.

OUT
BANKERS
LIFE
NEW INSURANCE LAW LEGIS-
LATES OUT OF BUSINESS AS
SESSMENT INSURANCE COM
PANIES IN THIS STATE.

The Bankers Life Insurance COM
pany, which under the leadership of
George o. Brewster did large busi-
ness in this valley, has been legis-
lated out of business as far as new
business is concerned, by the last
session of the legislature.
Attorney General Bell rendered an
opinion to the state insurance de.
partment relative to an interpreta-
tor of the new life insurance law,
which, it is stated by an attorney
will have the effect of putting the
eight assessment insurance COM
panies doing business in the state,
out of business so far as being per-
mitted to solicit new business is con-
cerned. The opinion holds that the
new law repeals. by implication the
provisions of the old law under
which this class of insurance COM
panies operated, and as the new law
makes no mention or provision for
them, it is held there is no legal
authority under which they may con-
tinue to operate. This will not ef-
feet the business already written. but
unless radical changes are made in
the plan of the affected companies
and their form of policies they will
not be permitted to solicit new busi-
ness.
So far as can be learned, this omis-
sion to provide for the assessment
companies in the new law was unin-
territorial on the part of the drafters
of the bill The measure was intro
duced by Senator Bassett, but he
doubtless had assistance in drawing
the measure.
The opinion affects eight COM
panies doing business in this state,
having, according to the report of
the insurance department. s13.2O5,-
344 in risks in effect in Washington
81, $4,000 is carried by the Bank
ers' Life association alone.
Insurance Commissioner Schively
stated that the companies could
change their form so as to become
fraternal lodge associations or by
the plan of establishing reserves. He
said the bigger companies. at least,
would have no trouble in doing this
latter way, those having large assets.
especially the Bankers Life assOcia-
| ton. The chances for the smaller
concerns doing business here until
| the laws are changed. however, ap-
nee,%.Tr Ell Mi.
The Bankers Life association of
| Des Moines has more than $11, 1,O00,-
! 600 of insurance in force in Wash
irgton
The law prohibits from doing busi-
ness in Washington all assessment
| life insurance companies, and this
includes the Bankers Life. the Amer
lean Temperance Life Insurance as
sociation. Guarantee Fund Life. Illi-
nois Bankers Life, Merchants Life,
| Minnesota Scandinavian Relief, Ma
tional Life and Western Life Indem-
nifty.
These eight companies wrote So
100000 in risks last year. and have
in force about 100000 of risks.
The old risks will be in force, but
under the new law no new insurance
may be written. In an opinion to
the insurance department today the
| attorney general rules that the law
is plain and explicit. and that assess
ment life companies. except frater-
nal associations. which are provided
for especially, can not DO business
