Need Enlarged Quarters

Sheriff |. c. Downing is joining in
the general complaint heard all over
town of not having enough house room.
His special boarding house. the Hotel
de County Jail, is loaded up and over
flowing and he has many more that
ought to be there if he just had room
TO keep them. 1t may be that there
are so many people here that can't
find place to put up that they are
trying to break into jail SO as to be
sure of place to eat and sleep. 1t
may be that if we build more houses
more Jail can be dispensed with. 1t
is about the first time that our jail
has been loaded to capacity right along
and the situation is getting worse in
stead of better.

interest in the Lamar Alfalfa Milling
Co. to b. f. Tucker. The company
owns and runs the big meal mill at
May Valley, and the stock WIS held

The former still retain their interest
in the company and it will continue

make Lamar his home and headquart-
ers, but will be away for several
months on account of his health. which
was the cause of his selling his mill
interests.

Dry Land Wheat

Walter Fullwater and some of his
uvIng north of Carlton on
the dry lands finished threshing their
wheat last week ard the average Tor
the entire acreage planted was Il
bushels per acre, which makes return
of s42 or just about five times wheat
the land has been selling at. However,
it will be. hard hereafter TO get any
of this land at such prices as have
been prevailing. The crops this year
of all kinds have shown returns far in
excess OF what the previous selling
price Of the land had been, and it is
therefore too good an investment to
go begging any more.

of Lamar all told Mr.. Van Ginkel and
the renters had out over 200 acres Of
wheat the past season. The threshing
machine has just finished on the big
crop and showed return Of over 5O
bushels per acre. When land produces
over SlOO per acre in crop and keeps
it up season after season it is hard "
estimate just what its value is. but
it is worth holding On to at any event.
This land has been returning the same
large wheat yields year after year

Fort Lyon Minstrels

On last Saturday the navy minstrel
boys from Fort Lyon came down and
gave a performance at the high school
auditorium, the proceeds to go to the
benefit of the Red Cross. The attend

entertainments owing largely to the
fact that it was SO far from the busi-
ness section Of the city and had not
been very extensively advertised.
There are a number of high class en-
tertainers in the cast and they gave
an entertainment that was real treat

Insurance Commissioner Olsness il
devoting much of his time nowadays
to telling foreign fire insurance com
panies about House Bill 80, which pro-
vides for the revocation of the GER
tificate of authority of insurance com
panies charged with discrimination.
The bill originally provided that If
the commissioner of insurance has or
shall have at any time after examlna-
tion, reason to believe that any annual
statement or other report required or
authorized by this article, made or TO
be made out by an officer or agent OF
any insurance company is false, or II
the commissioner of insurance has or
shall have at any time after such ex-
animation reason to believe that any
insurance company is practicing dis
elimination against individual risks in
the issuing or cancellation of policies,
it shall be the duty of said commits
sioner of insurance to revoke the GER
tificate of authority Of such company
and mail a copy Of such revocation to
such company and to the agents there
of in this state, and such company and
it's agents, after such notice, shall dis
continue the issuance Of any new pol
icies or the renewals of any policies
previously issued; and such revoca-
tion shall not be set aside nor any new
certificate of authority be given until
satisfactory evidence shall have been
furnished to said commissioner of in
surance that such company is in sub
stance and in fact in the condition set
forth in such statement or order, or
that such discrimination will imme-
diately cease, and that the require
ments of this article have been fully
complied with"
The teeth of this bill were pulled
before it was finally passed by adding
the following section:
mo action on the grounds of dis
elimination shall be taken by said COM
missioner unless upon written com.
plant under oath or information and
belief of the person or persons inter-
ested, showing in substantial detail the
ground for complaint, with such data
as will reasonably enable the COM
missioner to determine whether there
is probable cause therefore, and no
such action shall be taken nor \shall
there be any examination thereon until
a copy of said complaint and data shall
have been sent by registered mail to
the insurance company concerned, and
such insurance company shall have at
least ten days notice of the date when
such examination is to be held"
The recent assembly did not treat
insurance companies very harshly.
Not a great number of bills were in
troduced. Those which passed were:
House Bill 36, providing for work
mems compensation.
House Bill 63, requiring at least
$25O,O0O capital stock from foreign
insurance companies admitted to the
state.
House Bill II, making an appropria-
