WEIRD MORNING HUNT
FOR AUTO IN MISSOURI
PROVES PROFITLEsS

sLdshing his engine to its utmost
speed. an excited taxi-driver dashed
into Bismarck at 1870 this morning
with wild tale of an auto filed with
people which had gone through the
ice, into the Big Missouri. The taxi
man told graphically of the machines
dip to death; of the terrified screams
of the victims as they plunged into
the icy waters, and he was so wrought
up that Coroner Anton Beer and Dep.
uty Sheriff WEIGH decided on an i'm
mediate investigation.
The officers clambered into car
and make quick work of the cold drive
to the river. There they found a big
air-hole in the ice and the story was
getting better and better until the in.
vestigators tumbled to the fact that
there were no traces of AUTH wheels
approaching the yawning assure, and
with the ice covered with a thin coat
Of snow machine approaching from
either direction would have left clear
imprints.
The chilly adventure was not all for
nought, for it revealed the necessity
Of warning automobilists crossing on
the ice Of this air-hole. which lies d.
rectly in the path which would be fol-
lowed. did machines cross direct from
Mandan to Bismarck. The winding
path generally used is safe. but driv-
ers are urged not to undertake any
shortcuts, for the swift current of
the river has undermined the ice IN
places, and the near tragedy Of this
morning might very easily become a
real one.

w. G. Taylor, retiring commission.
er Of insurance, takes exceptions to
a statement made by a well known
northwestern insurance journal to the
effect that he recommends a COM
pulsory hail insurance law. In cor.
recting the report, Commissioner Tay.
lor writes:
from somewhat cursory reading
of my report, such a deduction may
have been natural The fact is. how.
ever, that have never recommended
compulsory state hail insurance, nor
state insurance of any kind. ~.,ss-
Il In my biennial report covering the
years 1894, after emphasizing the
apparent failure OF the present state
hail insurance scheme, based upon
voluntary membership, suggested as
a possible alternative the Saskatche-
wan system. Since our own venture
had failed dismally, l felt that It was
my duty, as insurance commissioners,
to bring to the attention Of the legis-
lature the fact that another plan of
state hail insurance had, at its dncep-
ton, given satisfaction and promise
Of success.
Farmers Pay Own Losses.
I'm my current report l again refer
red to this matter, and said that l
could see no reason why compulsory
state hail insurance, under the plan
of imposing a tax on all lands, and
SO providing a fund out Of which all
hail losses would be proportionately
paid, is not feasily. This much, l
think, must be granted. One does not
need to be very we'll versed in the
principles Of insurance to understand
that the insured contribute to COM
mon fund, out of which losses are
paid. And was safely within the
facts in stating that the farmers Of
this state have always paid their own
hail losses although it is undoubtedly
true that the hail writing companies
in their capacity as distributors Of
indemnity have, in some years. lost
money on the undertaking.
"The point is, I do not wish to be
understood as having endorsed the
