every other life insurance company,
and in short time the value of our
stock will be increased in like man
ner to that of others. The above
gives the foundation, methods and
basis upon which a Legal Reserve
life insurance company is conducted.
We wish to add that a company with
the plan of the WashingtOn-Lee,
writing Intermediate Insurance, has
advantages over every aother south
ern or northern company operating
in this section. We wish to call your
attention to fact that (if given
moments consideration will make
you realize that the investments of
the south bring a great deal larger
rate of interest than the investments
of the north. Eight per cent on
money in the south is a common
rate, while to per cent in the
north is the accepted rate. In this
one item alone it will add greatly
to the assets and dividends of the
Washington-Lee. In presenting this
statement to the public it is to show
why this company should pay large
ulN luGuuS. AC uSnduuo VI IIG LII
termediate Insurance agent are en-
tireIy different from the insurance
agent selling policies of one thou
sand dollars and upward. In this
item alone our saving in commission
ranges from 40 to so per cent. on
the first years business. 1t is the
aim of this company to confine it's
operations to the intermediate De-
partment during it's first year. Our
aim is to write one million dollars
of insurance the first year, which is
a lesser amount of business than
any company should dream of writ
ing during that period. A large
agency force is ready to go to work,
and there is no reason why we will
not write two to three millions.
This is our hope, but on the basis
of only one million this company
should be able to pay large dividends
on it's first years business.

PROFITS AND DIVIDENDS OF
LEGAL RESERVE INSURANCE COMPANIES

rive at the results. The premium is
based upon the American Experience
Table of Mortality, but the number
of people dying Tin no company
have reached the expectation set
forth, and as an illustration we will
use the Mutual Life of New York,
company now sc years old, which
in 1907 only used 1881 per cent.
of their expected mortality, saving
the difference between the expected
mortality, amounting to $18,629,-
600, and the actual mortality paid
of ,986,376. We are using an
illustration of the oldest company,
and we find that in their IS years of
experience they are saving 14.19
per cent. on their expected mOrtali-
ty. This then shows the second
source of profit of the life insur-
ance business.
The third item of earning powers
Interest on capital and surplus. In
this item a life insurance company
occupies exactly the same position
as a bank. It's capital and surplus
are invested in securities, and these
securities are prescribed by the
state. In this we again have an
other source of profit.
The fourth item: The reserve OF
life insurance company is that
sum of money that is set aside (again
in securities prescribed by the state)
that will pay the death claim when
it occurs or the cash value when
the policy natures. This money is
invested in the same manner as the
capital. earns interest and becomes
another source of profit to the life
insurance company.
We ask that you take these
sources of profits and compare them
with any other enterprise, industry,
or concern and see if there is any
comparison. Another important
question is that of safety. Life in
surance companies pay out nothing
to their Agency Force until such
time as each agent has given the
company premiums, from which pre-
miums they receive their commits
sions. which is quite different than
! that of a manufacturer, who must
purchase his raw material and man
ufacture it, and then become sub
jected to the fluctuation of the mar
ket, thus eliminating all certainty
from success and profits. The same
applies to the retailer or to the plant
er. and to every other line OF COM
mercial enterprises. We believe IT
unwise to invest money in anything
that a man has not a thorough I'M
derstanding of, but to those who will
take the time to inquire or inyestl-
gate we are confident that every
man who has the means will invest
in the stock of life insurance com
panies
Our position is the same as that
Of every other Legal Reserve life in

EVERY HOUSE MUST
 HAVE ITS "CAN'
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Hereafter every householder as well as every restaurant and hotel must be possessed of a tin can, ae- eording to an ordinance passed last evening by the Common Council. This does not mean a can of the "growler" variety, but in the lang uage of the ordinance, Ca water-tight metal receptacle with a elose-ftting metal eOver,''. In other words, it is a garbage can that the city requires, and all food refuse from the kitchen must be deposited in the same. Mem bers of the police department . and the Board of Health are required to enforce the new sanitary law, and a violation means a fine of from $10 to $500, and may mean as much as six months in the city jail. The ordin- anee goes into effect at once.
 Bids for city printing and supplies were opened. The Journal-Miner on bid of $54O, was made the city of feial paper for the current year, the bid of the Prescott Courier being $9OO. -
 Henry Brinkmeyer was the only bid der for supplying meals to city pris- oners, his price being 20 cents per meal. After some speculation by the Couneilmen as to why with so many restaurants in town there were no other bids, the contract was awarded to MT. Brinkmeyer.
 Sines & Roekmark were the only bidders for a cement walk on South Pleasant street, and after some dis cission, action was deferred until the next meeting.
 Mayor Goldwater brought up the question of delinquent city taxes, and his inquiries developed the fact that no steps had ever been taken in the past to enforce their collection by an action at law. Tax Collector Will jams stated that he had yearly turned over the list of delinquents to the City Attorney, but there the matter had slumbered. The Mayor directed

 The market value of this product is $50 a pound, and the yield is said to be practically exhausted in the United States, no market quotations being given since 1904.

 Miss Mae Catherine Wood, who held position in the postoffiee department in Washington at the time Senator Platt married Mrs. Janeway, added another interesting chapter to the story of the aged Senator's domestic troubles. Miss Wood alleged that Senator Platt had married her in the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, on November 9, 1901, but a very short time after the death of the first Mrs. Platt.

 Major Jordan made the statement that he is opening up correspond enee with several firms in the eoun- try that consume cobalt in the arts and manufactures, and specifically mentioned the fact that the fame of the proposition had reached Germany, and several urgent demands were made for the metal from that far away land, and very much interest was manifested in the proposition for the rare quality of the product.
 He feels somewhat enthusiastic over the future of the enterprise, and in case the cobalt should decrease in quality, the copper values will be of material consideration to the com pany. A peculiar feature of this min ing condition is that the minerals lie distinct and separate in the vein, and to the depth of twenty feet, at one point on the group, both maintain their uniform make and are easily extracted in the mining work.
