Following the speech, H. G..

alton, and everybody then crowd
ed around to congratulate the
candidate for senator and pledge
him support.
The meeting was a spontaneous
uprising of the insurgent lead

the meeting showing that access

Mr.. Poindexter made it clear
that in the last congress he had

against Seattle when the issue was
drawn and when a Tacoman de-

The meeting did much to solid
ify the sentiment that Tacoma
must depend for her representa-

Spokane senator, and a solid vote
here for him will put this city in
line to call upon him for his SER
vices in all matters affecting the
welfare of Tacoma on the Sound.
Mr.. Poindexter goes to Puyal-

said to be alive with insurgent
sentiment, and he is expected to
come out of the valley with a
clear majority over all candidates.

Dividends
COMPANY PAYS BIG DIVI-
DENDS THEN CARRIES 10
PER CENT OF ALL RE-
CEIPTS TO SURPLUS.

The nineteenth semi-annual re-
port just issued by the North
western Mutual Fire Association
OF Seattle shows payment of semi
annual cash dividends to policy
holders of $55. 1887, and in ad-
dition to paying these dividends II
added $1S,633.71, or 10 per cent
of all receipts, to permanent cash
surplus. This now gives the COM
pany cash and securities equal to
more than five times the amount
needed to pay losses to expiration
of all policies as based on the COM
pany's past nine years experience,
or SO per cent more proportionate
cash resources than the ten larg-
est stock companies in the United
States.
NOn-Assessable Policies
The company. although a purely
mutual organization of property
owners. issues only a non-assess-
able policy which its large cash
resources enables II to safely do.
Every new policy holder becomes
a part owner of the company and
receives his proportionate share of
dividends. It's profits to policy
holders to date amount to the
handsome sum of 1896, $685..
The extremely large profits of
the company are largely the result
of careful system of inspection
by which many losses are avoided.
This is clearly shown by the offic-
ial report of the State Insurance
Department which shows that the
company led all other companies in
amount of business done in the
State of Washington with a loss
ratio of only 33 per cent of it's pre-
miums, while the company nearest
approaching 1t in amount of pre-
miums had 81 per cent loss ra-
ito.
Any person whose property Isl
up to the required standard of the
is permitted to take adj
of the companys service
and get the benefit of It's dividends
which average more than 40 per
cent of the premiums paid. **~

which 1 speak are Hon. John E.
HUMPHREYS of Seattle and Miles
Poindexter of Spokane.
Judge HUMPHREYS is making his
race upon platform that could
not be any fairer to the working
class If it had been drafted by the
American Federation of Labor.
Judge HUMPHREYS has been for
many years recognized as the
friend and champion of the COM
mon people. There will be no
mistake If he is elected to the
United States senate.
Judge Poindexter has just re-
turned home with a clean record
i'm congress, one that he may be
proud of. He was the only repre-
sentative from this state that had
the backbone to defy the 'Million-
aires club" Omitted States senate)
and stand by the common people.
If the workingmen will vote
rlgnt IN the coming election they
will send such men as John E.
HUMPHREYS or Miles Poindexter to
the United States senate.
When that august body is COM
posed of such men, Senator Owens
bill to create a department of
health, to do for men, women and
children what the department of
agriculture now does for cattle,
will become a law.
And an amendment exempting
labor unions from the Sherman
antitrust law will carry. And,
again, something will be done, and
in real earnest, to control the COM
binations in restraint of trade in
foodstuffs.

SEATTLE, July 19.-The odor
of burning pitch, and a lazy haze
of smoke from burning forest
fires hang over Seattle today.
Conditions are worse today than
they have been in years. Rain has
not fallen since early June, and
the forests in many places are as
dry as finder.
Five hundred thousand feet of
logs that had been cut and were
ready for delivery have been
wiped out by the flames near
Tolt, this county. The fire is eat
ing its way into the valuable
green timber owned by the O'Neil
company, limited.
Another bad fire is burning in
green timber owned by the Tay-
Tor Logging company and by the
Hewitt Lea Lumber company on
the east side of Lake Washington.
Great stretches of land which
were timber covered a week ago
today are covered with ashes.
In some parts of Idaho the
smoke is SO thick that the sun is
obscured and an unnatural twi-
light makes the ravages of the
fire fiend seem more terrible.
All Over Idaho.
According to reports received
here, fires are burning in the
Priest river national forest in the
Wardner, Kellogg, Wallace and
Colville district. In Montana fires
are burning in the Blackfoot coun-
try and in the Missoula district.
Dispatches received here state
that big fires are burning in Can
ada just north of the Washington
state boundary and are doing
much damage.
The long continued dry spell
has dried out the MOSES on the
timber, and has made 1t practical
ly impossible to stay the spread of
the disastrous fire.
Every available man in the vi
cinity of the various fires has
been called out to fight, but de-
spite all efforts the flames are ad-
lvancing, and ruin faces many set
tiers, and some of the great for
ests of the Northwest seem
doomed.

DR.. ELIOT PLEADS FOR
NATIONAL CONSERVATION
Declares Congress Has Been
Slow in Preserving Forests

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Nov. IA note
of warning against monopolistic con-
troll of the nations resources is sounded
by Or. Charles w Eliot, president en-
eritus Of Harvard university.
Addressing a large assemblage of
citizens at the Prospect union last
night. he said that the two principal
things TO be considered in the conserva-
tion of natural resources were the ag
gra Indictment of comparatively few
"a pitalists and the necessity of col
lective force for legislation for the COM
mon government
The government, Doctor Eliot as
serted. should not part forever with any
of its resources, but should bestow
them on others only temporarily. Con-
gress. he thought. had been altogether
toe slow in making provision for the
preservation of the forests.
