The last report of the State Insur-
ance Department, shows that the
competition of mutual fire insurance
companies is being keenly felt by
the stock companies operating in
Washington. The stock companies
are doing everything possible to stay
the progress of the mutual compan-
les and the report shows that they
have made some sweeping reductions
in rates, in an effort to hold the
business. The mutuals are not only
meeting this reduction in rate, but
are running as high as IS per cent
dividends to their policy holders.
Advance reports for the current
year show that the public appreci-
ates the bcEefts of mutual insurance,
as a result of the increased business
OF these companies.

THEY CATCH BIG FISH

The Fishers Flat Fishing Club
east of town of which J. w. Settlers,
John Bernath, R. K. Willard, Fred
Jorgens and other, are members
had great fishing Wednesday, when
the biggist fish of the present season
weighing $50 pounds and measur-
ing 7 feet and 1 inch in length was
taken by them in the back water at
the island below the mouth of the
Yakima river about five. miles west
of town. While the big fish was
being landed considerable excite
ment prevailed and some member
of the party seems to have gone in
head first and had to be fished out
too, but they got him. 1. was
proud bunch that were showing him
to the rival fishermen Wednesday
evening. The party also caught
many smaller fish and about
80 salmon of good size. There will
be fish orthen and for their friends
and fish for packing down for the
winter supply from Wednesdays
catch. Numerous bets as to his
weight and length were won by the
successful fishermen and they had
smoke and so forth after they came
home which is directly contrary to
the usual custom.

The season of long indoor eve
nings is at hand. The evening meal
is now taken by lamplight instead
Of by daylight, the shades are drawn
down, and, far more than in the
summertime, the privacy and one
ness of the family life are realized.
With the world and it's cares shut
out and love and peace reigning
within the sacredness and superior
ity of home life are seen to best adj
vantage. The easy chair, suggest
i've of comfort, the CHEEKY lamp and
genial warmth; the family news
paper; the interesting magazine;
the wholesome yet entertaining
book; the pleasant conversation,
these and many other things COM
bine to form a scene for which men
may look in vain for parallel.
Whether the home evenings are as
universal as in former days is ques-
tionable for the numerous social at
fractions of the present age make
inroads upon the family circle that
tend to weaken home ties. Yet
in spite of this there are many thou
sands of homes in our land where
almost every evening the members
meet together as a we'll nigh unbrok-
en- band. -

According to the records Of the
Government Forestry Service and
the State Board Of Forestry, Oregon
has been remarkably fortunate this
summerin escaping the usual heavy
toll taken by forest fires. The season
has been marked by less destruction
ofti'nber than any Of the past decade.
Fircs this year have been few and
widely separated while losses have
been small. This is thought to be
partly due to an aroused public
interest in preventing forect fires
and largely increased force of fire
wardens throughout the forests this
season.
