INSURANCE COMPANIES
SHOW Loss IN OREGON
Abnormal Losses May Result
In Application For Permit
To Raise Rates

The annual statements Of fire in
surance companies doing business in
this state, on file with the insurance
commissioner, indicate that the fire
losses in Oregon have been excessively
abnormal during the year 1914 and the
first quarter of 1915, the companies
suffering a loss ratio Of about llO per
cent, and in all probability, all fire in
surance companies doing business in
this state will make application to In
surance Commissioner Wells, following
an investigation Of rates and causes Of
fire losses, for permission to increase
rates. 1t is understood that the already
extremely heavy loss ratio for 1915 has
caused the insurance companies to be-
come nervous, and the proposed inyes-
tigation is doubtless the result.
Insurance Commissioner Wells ex.
pressed the opinion this morning tnat
no business cared to continue at a loss,
but while the raising Of rates would
amount to more income to the com
panies, he believes, under present con-
ditiOns, the losses would continue re.
gardless Of the increase in rates. He
is further Of the opinion that the great
er portion Of the fire losses in Oregon
are due to carelessness on the part Of
tho people and the property owners,

POULTRY
PROTECT THE LATE MATCHES
Chicks Are Special Prey of Rats,
Weasels and Hawks Unless Proper
Precautions Are Taken.

Late-hatched chicks often become
the special prey of rats, weasels and
hawks unless proper precautions are
taken to avoid losses from this
source. These enemies seem worse
in late summer than early in the sea-
son. In the case of rats, this is ac-
counted for by the fact that as soon
as hot weather arrives many Of them
desert their hot quarters around the
barns and sheds and take to the old
board and rail piles, as well as to the
patches of thick weeds and grass.
Here they Turk. ready to pounce upon
unsuspecting chicks.
AS to preventive measures: first,
all harbors near the chicks runs
should be baaSsned and the rodents
destroyed before they have had time
to do any harm. Until this is done
the best preventive measure is the
free use of wire netting about the
coops, such as screening ventilation
holes, providing screen doors. Nor
must it be forgotten that rodents can
burrow, hence when these enemies
are present floors in the coops are
necessary if losses would be avoided.
1t is when chicks run in an open
field that hawks and crows do the
most mischief. When there are trees
or shrubbery in the yards, with a
few convenient shelters of boards or
boxes under which the chicks can
speedily seek protection when a bird
of prey swoops down, the losses will
not be great When a hawk or crow
gets the habit of visiting the poultry
yard regularly, however, as some of
these Dirds oIten do. the only remedy
Is to take the necessary time to ex-
terminate it by the gun route.
