NO DEPOT Clover Leaf Will Not Build This Year

Superintendent Shane Mates Positively That Such is the Decision. The question as to whether the Clover Leaf railroad would Jput up a new depot here this season or not, is now practically settled, none will be built this year at least. A. Shane superintendent of the road-, way was in the city yesterday and he stated as a positive fact- to Agent Miller that the company had decided not to build here and work was immediately commenced this morning on remodeling the old one. that is by patchng up the holes in the I floor and mending the doors which have become in a very demoralized < condition, in fact the old shack that now stands there is worthless and not fit for the passengers to stay in. i Agent Miller does his utmost to I keept he same clean and looking | respectable but all of his energies are useless, and the same is an eyesore to all. It would be well for the company to reconsider this matter and furnish to her traveling public a better waiting depart-1 ment. But as Mr. Shane has made i' known the rulings of the company we will all be compelled to give in ■ and bear it. 1

A GOOD OMEN, THIS Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Make a Most Creditable Showing. NEW YORK, Feb. 12—In the face of the general depression in financial circles and the shrinkage in industrial and other securities no better evidence of the general prosperity of the country and the thrift of the people could be given than is contained in the recent statement of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. Ths company shows a great gain in assets and notwithstanding market depression a handsome gain in surplus. It issued in 1903, 1398,889,074 of new insurances—a larger amount than that issued by any company in the world. It has done this for the last ten years. It has 7,523,915 policies in force which is a larger number than is held by all the other regular life insurance companies in America put together, less one; equivalent to policies on ! one tenth of the total population of the United States, greater than the combined population of twenty nine states and territories, for, as the reports puts it, greater than the combined population of Greater New York, Chicago, Philadelphia. Boston and St. Louis. When one realizes that an average of one out of every ten human beings, men, women and children one passes on the street is insured in the Metropolitan Life, the wide spread beneficence of this great company can be appreciated. The income of the Metropolitan Life in 1903 was <49,887.804.11, and it paid out to policy holders end added to

its reserve fund <985,82.76, every business day of the past year. The company now holds assets of <105,656,311.60 for the benefit of its policy holders and a reserve fund consisting of capital and surplus over and above liabilityof <106,918,00. The success of the Metropolitan has been so great that it recently announced a special dividend which will amount to about <600,000. in addition to over four and a half millions paid in the past seven

years, to certain classes of policy holdres who had continued with the company, a dividend not nom-! mated in the insurance contract and which is a windfall of the policy | holders. The growth of this oom-1 pany form <63.000,000, in 1883 to <1,342,381,457 of insurance in force i in 1903 is one of the wonders of the insurance world.

Write us for information stating destination and number in party. California points <33. Helena and Butte <3O. Spokane <30.50. Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, etc,<33. Many other equally low. J. P.
