LYNDEN POPULATION
1,75O, SAYS DIRECTORY
City Makes Greater Growth Than
Any In WhatcOm County; Blaine
Drops 1000

Lynden's population is now 1,75O
according to the estimate made by
Polk's Directory in their 1918 vol
ume issued this week. This is a
gain of one hundred over the direct
ory estimate of last year.
The gain ascribed to Lynden is
larger than that given. any other
point in the county Ferndale is
accredited with a population of 400
or thirty more than last year. The
estimate for Sumas is 1,40O, the
same as in 1917. EversOn shows a
gain of 80, the 1918 figure being
$50. Custer with 375 is 25 larger
than a year ago.
The estimate for Blaine is made
each year by George Shaw, realty
dealer of that city This year he
claims the population of Blaine is
1000, falling off of 1000 from
his estimate of 1917. No explanat-
ion is given for the shrinkage.

CITY HEALTH OFFICER
ISSUES "FZU" WARNING

Having observed that practically all of the
deaths from influenza are due to neglect in the
early stages of the disease, often before physic-
ian is called, feel it my duty to give the public
word of warning
Properly handled, "Flu" is painful and dis
agreeable disease, but if neglected in the, vital
early stages, it becomes very serious and danger

or fever during this epidemic should at once go to
bed and remain there until he is certain the fever
is gone Going out of doors at all at any stage of
the disease or for several days aser the fever has
subsidized is very dangerous and is apt to cause
a very severe form and usually fatal.
| feel certain that if these facts can be
brought home to everybody and these simple
rules followed to the letter, many lives will be saw
ed during this epidemic.

BERT SCOTT WITNESSES BIG
WRECK OFF SCOTLAND COAST

Bert Scott, of Battery E, 126th
Field Artillery, who is now in France
has written letter to his mother.
Mrs. Sarah Scott of Lynden, in which
he tells of a collision between two
troop ships, one of which was car
rying his contingent. Scott was on
board the Kashmir and witnessed
the sinking of the Otranso off the
coast of Scotland when the two YES
sells collided in a storm. The letter.
written October 80, reads:
We've had some wonderful ex-
periences since we left New York.
Especially one on the way over. The
ship we were on had collision with
another troop ship, during a very
bad storm and it looked like for a

bottom, but were just simply lucky.

ASK CITY TO FIGHT
RAISE IN INSURANCE
I. o. Fishback, State Official, Ap.
peals For Support In Campaign
Against Rate Advances

Lynden was officially invited this
week to take part in the protest that
( Il being raised against the arbitrary
Increase of ten per cent in fire in
iDurance rates in the state Of Wash
ington. H. o. Fishback, State In
surance Commissioner, is conduct
Ting the fight against the insurance
companies, and he will attempt to
get the legislature to act in order
that the raise be annulled and furt'
or actions along the same lines be
avoided.
Mr.. Fishback sent the following
statement of conditions to the may
or and people of Lynden:
I am addressing you on sub
ject which believe to be of the ut
most Importance to the property own
ers of the State of Washington at
the present time. This has refer
ence to the general increase in fire
insurance rates, amounting to ten
per cent, which became effective on
November 1st.
In the opinion of this department
a general increase in fire insurance
rates is not warranted nor justified
by the experience of the companies
at this time.
An increase of rates of ten per
cent means approximately 100000
more to be paid each year by the
property owners for their insurance.
The premiums and losses of stock
fire insurance companies for the past
FIVE years covering Washington risks,
as shown by the reports on file in this
department, are as follows:
Total Premiums. ..$27,664,6S2
Total Losses, .$14,32z,Szo
It will thus be seen that $27.664.-
$50 was paid to stock companies and
s14,322,92S was received by proper
ty owness in return for payment Of
losses, This is at the rate of a re-
turn to policyholders in losses OF ap-
proximately fifty-three cents out OF
each dollar paid during a fixe-year
period. The above result alone
would not justify general increase.
Conditions during the past two
years, however, have been consider
ably changed for the better. The
department has been doing good
deal of fire prevention work and
through the very hearty cooperation
and assistance of local organizations
in the various outlying districts
has been created and much cooper
alive assistance has been secured for
the protection of property against
loss by fire. This work has resulted
in cleaning up and safeguarding pro-
perties of all kinds so that the pos
sibility of loss by fire from careless
ness or through malicious actions
has been greatly reduced.
The department claims that thru
the result of this work and also the
fact that more attention Is being CIV
en- to better construction of build
ings and their equipment, better
loss record has been obtained and
that the ratio is showing decrease
over past years, which is more clear
" illustrated by taking the figures
Of premiums and losses for the past
two years, which covers the period
of the more active work in fire pre-
