FIRE INSURANCE

An investigation into the rapid
increase in fire insurance rates in
Idaho has been started by Governor
Alexander. He had been notified
that in north Idaho, in particular.
fire insurance rates had / cen in
creased from thirty to forty per
cent. The Governor believes that
the people have right to know if
there is any reasonable excuse for
such a marked increase.
One reason given for the increase
is that the per cent of fires had in
creased so rapidly that the risks are
much greater. How true this is
cannot be told at this time nor has
any reason been given why the fires
have increased so rapidly.
The Governor has directed the
Attorney General to ascertain if the
insurance companies, responsible
for the raise, can be reached under
the terms of the anti trust law.

Both Of the Kendrick churches
are using electric lights and the
plan Of lighting is very good. The
old kerosene and gasoline lamps
that were formerly used were
almost an excuse for one to go to
sleep in church. The frosted globes
on the electric lights produce very
soft light and the lights are so
arranged that there is no discom-
fort occasioned by them.
If farmers could be sure of receiv-
ing present market prices for the
1916 bean crop it would pay to pillow
up the whole Potlatch' country and
plant it in beans. But that 10 one of
the serious drawbacks to farming.
The farmer has to put in the crop
that he believes will bring the best
price. 1t is more matter of guess
work than anything else. for while
the price on one particular crop may
be very high in the spring, this crop
may not be worth half the price in
the fall at harvest time.
This year there is an unusual
amount of summer fallow ground,
owing to the fact that during the
past couple of years every acre avail
able has been seeded to grain in
order to take advantage of the high
prices. If the bean crop is as good
as the average, with the present
prospect of good prices next fall.
there will very likely be more money
made on the bean crop than on the
average grain crop. That's where
the Potlatch county can put it all
over any other section Of the north
west-just the fact that it is not
necessary to lose year summer
following the ground. 1t is very
creditable showing, too, that every
year the bean crop acreage is in
creasing and thus the Potlatch be-
coming more famous every year.
