THE BILLINGS GAZETTE Founded November 1, 1901. Published Bvery Morninf, HISTORY OF CAR INSURANCE TOLD Changes of Fifty Years In Transportation to Be Shown During Founders' Jubilee iitiilliii about 1900 the engine was run into a retired corner of the great yard in St. I Paul and left to ruminate upon the lives and vicissitudes of locomotives, un- til In 1908 itw as run out for display at the seventieth anniversary of the late James J. Hill, chairman of the board of the Great Northern. Since then it has been a show piece, viewed by countless thousands.

The William Crooks weighs on its drivers, 36,000 pounds, as compared with 242,000 pounds of the latest type of i Great Northern locomotives. The weight of the tender and engine is 102,000 pounds as compared with 600,000 pounds of the "2,500" type of engine. Its tractive power is 5,000 pounds, while that of the I "2,500" is 55,000 pounds. It measures 51 feet, over all, as compared with 95 ger engine used by any railroad in the northwest. The William Crooks was built at Patterson, N.

and was delivered to the Great Northern aboard the Mississippi river steamer, Key City, on June 28, 1862, at St. Paul. The afternoon of that day, it pulled the first trainload of passengers over the first railroad in Minnesota. William Crooks, chief engineer of the Great Northern, after whom the engine was named, was aboard that train, as were a dozen other notables. For nearly 50 years thereafter the William Crooks was in continuous service, except for the time required for overhaul and reconditioning.

In time, the William Crooks drifted to Montana and Washington, where it was engaged in all sorts of odd Jobs. Along WILL SELL TO A THOROUGHLY RELIABLE FIRM AN EIGHT-DRAWER NATIONAL CASH REGISTER IN PERFECT SHAPE. PRICED FOR IMMEDIATE DISPOSAL. ADDRESS 101. GAZETTE OFFICE.

Looks For Record Yields Sidney, June 18. (Special) Due to the unprecedented rainfall this season, more than any other season in 20 years, Richland county's nonlrrlgated sections give promise of yielding more agriculture returns than any other year In the history of farming in this district. This applies to every kind of crop grown locally, and the grass on the range is better than at any time during the last 15 years, according to old stockmen, who have, during the last several years, been reducing herds with the intention to abandon the bnsiness. Prairie hay will be put up this year in great quantities, and it will come from virtually any uncultivated field. This is unusual, and has not been known since 1912.

Livestock of all kinds are fleshing up and the animals have that sleek appearance which comes from plenty of grass. OLDEST BANK PRESIDENT RETIRES. Springfield, Ohio, June 18. (JPi General J.

The 6tory of the first automobile policy Issued in the United States 25 years ago as told In a trade publication, The Accelerator, issued by the Boston Insurance company and the Old Colony Insurance company, a copy of which was received here Saturday by E. E. Tiffany, resident agent for the companies, shows a wide contrast in the manner of issuing policies in 1902 as compared to the present motor age. "Twenty-five years ago," the story reads, "the Boston Insurance company Issued the first automobile policy written in this country. Nobody gave it any particular thought at that time, because no one knew that it would be the forerunner of millions of automobile policies now In existence.

The 1902 motor cars were crude, awkward and ungainly compared to the present-day cars. That historic 1902 policy of the Boston Insurance company is rather crude compared to the present-day contract. It was, in fact, attached to a regular marine policy which contained many conditions not relevant to the coverage at all. For Stanley Steamer. "The first automobile policy covered for $950 on a two-seated Stanley Steamer and for $50 on the tools, implements and personal effects.

It was recognized that a policy covering an automobile must have broad limits in order for it to be of value to the insured, consequently this policy was made effective within the limits of the United States. In order to give it such a wide form, it was necessary that it should be Issued as a marine policy, to comply with the state laws. The policy as Issued was the regular marine vessel form with rider attached. It was drawn so as to cover while on board coastwise steamers or on board railroad cars. "It is interesting to note that this policy excluded all claims arising from explosion or burning of gasoline, or other fuel contained within the automobile, and it covered the car while within buildings or on board railroad cars within the limits of the United States and while on board steamers bound from United States ports to United States ports.

Marine Insurance. "Twenty-five years ago the word, "automobile," did not appear In any statutes and thee was no specific authorization for automobile insurance. But owing to a broad construction of the existing laws by a liberal-minded Massachusetts attor ney-general, insurance on automobiles was ruled as marine insurance. This decision was accepted by the insurance departments of other states, the theory being that if insuring goods on board railroad cars was marine insurance, then the insuring of a motor running on wheels of its own, instead of on wheels ol a railroad car, was really marine insurance. "In issuing policies in 1902 It was not necessary to distinguish automobiles by serial or motor numbers.

Perhaps there there would be only one car of any particular model in a town. On August 15, 1903, this oriignal form of policy was eA-tended so that It then covered anywhere within the limits of the United States 'while in buildings, on road, ferry of inland steamer or on coastwise steamer from a United States port to a United States but the policy still excluded liability for loss or damage by fire originating in or on the automobile itself." Rate Is Reduced. The 6tory continues to relate how the rate was reduced in March 1904 from 3 to 2 1-2 per cent and in August 1904 the policy was amended so as to include fire Lartsing within the automobile. The policy then covered loss or damage "irrespective of average to the automobile hereby insured by fire arising from any cause whatsoever." By that time, no question of used cars had come up, but as renewals came up, increased rates Were charged for the older cars. On March 15, 1905 the policy of that company was further changed to cover theft.

One of the principal clauses added in later years was one covering collision damage sustained by the car and liability of the owner by damage done to other property In an automobile crash. Sidney Legion Signs Pari Mutuel Expert 8idney, June 18. (Special) According to Roy Rounce, chairman of the committee In charge of the local American Legion Fourth of July celebration, R. M.

By OLIVER SHERWOOD. (CopyrlRlit, 1)'27. by Consolidated Press.) Custer, S. June 18. Roughing it in the Black Hills with President Coolidge are two guides men of the west who are tp teach the nation's chief executive the tricks of trout fishing and acquaint him with the fascinating lore of cowboy and Indian days.

Veterans of the outdoor life, hardened by contact with the frontier and with intimate knowledge of every nook and cranny in the huge state park, they are sure to give the president a good time. Cecil C. Gideon, former game warden, builder of the roads through the difficult hill country and now In charge of the state game lodge, had the honor of guiding President Coolidge to his first fish. Fres Shumaker. one-time cowboy, a two-gun sheriff of Custer county some years back and now state forester, is the other guide who Is expected to accompany the presidential party on its wilderness ventures.

Built Many Roads. Gideon is a slender, wiry, tall westerner, tanned by his outdoor life and dressed in keeping with the custom of the region. Shumaker as the cowboys say, "had his grub more regular," and is somewhat stouter, but is a real man of the west. He still wears high -heeled boots can't get along without them and looks the frontiersman. It was Gideon who built many of the roads in the hills with convict labor, living with the prisoners and working with them without losing a man.

And Gideon knows more secrets of the president's first trout catch than any one else. He even helped Mr. Coolidge land the big two-pounder and guided him to the spot on Squaw creek where they were lismng. "The president Is a natural fisherman." Gideon told the writer. He will be able to get them whereer he wishes to fish in the hills.

Squaw creek, where a section Is reserved for Mr. Coolidge. is one of the good fishing spots in the nearby hills and particularly in the two-mile stretch now set aside. There the rancher has kept fishermen off for several years, and it Is a nautral ground. Strange because the president caught only rainbow trout? Not at all.

The rainbow are a particularly cannibalistic fish and wherever you find them there are few brookles. In another part the brook trout thrive. The larger Locklaven trout are mostly in rppld creeks. A Little Too Big. "The president's two-pounder was a big one, a little too big to make the best eating.

They're best around a pound, more delicate. Of course. Locklaven trout have been caugnt here weighing 13 pounds but these are exceptional." Gideon says the president is delighted with the fishing and so exDresses him self. And the guide is delighted with Mr. Coolidge.

Little did he think he says, that a president of the United States would honor him as a fishing companion, cut In this country, where only a few years It was pretty much of a trackless wilderness. Squaw creek runs near the htehwnv between Rapid City and Custer and it was this highway that served as the Deadwood stage road in the old days. The president rides the stage road to and from work every day that he visits his office. May Explore Hills. Shumaker.

also a great fisherman and hunter, may take the president on an expedition back Into the hills. He can acquaint Mr. Coolidge with the hunting possibilities, though it has never been established whether the president is much of hand with a gun "Of coure. the httntinst peson is closed tm a little later on the presidential party could go out after pheasant," Shurr.aker said.

TROUBLE HS 15 ME BESTS RULE Likely Resignation of Bokanowski, Minister of Commerce, May End Prosperity Regime By WILLIAM BIRD. (Copyright, by Consolidated Press.) Paris, June 18. The Poincare cabinet which was thought to be a water-tight combination, has begun to leak. It will not be surprising to learn very soon that Maurice Bokanowski, minister of commerce, has resigned, either voluntarily or under compulsion. As M.

Bokanowski is one' of the three representatives of the conservative side of the chamber, now in the cabinet the others being Louis Marin and Andre Tar-dleu his resignation would create serious difficulties lor the Poincare government. Probably no other outstanding conservative would accept the post, and the appointment of another radical would tip the cabinet so far to the left that It could no longer stand up. Bokanowski Is one of the youngest men in parliament, and has come to the front only since the war. He is a brilliant young business-like type, of Jewish descent, and for several years before entering the government was "reporter" of the finance committee of the chamber of deputies. In that capacity he was responsible for overthrowing several Successive finance ministers by his piercing analysis of their budgets and tax proposals.

Had Ungrateful Task. As minister of commerce, Bokanowski has had a particularly ungrateful task. The reform of the tariff, demanded by French manufacturers, who think the present custom duties are too low, was undertaken by him Immediately after the Poincare government was organized last July. Bokanowski came forward a few months ago with a new tariff bill which increases most of the schedules far beyond the highest figures that anybody supposed he would dare to offer. The result was a torrent of criticism from the left, and even a large section of conservative opinion conceded he had gone too far.

The chamber committee rejected the bill and compelled him to revise it. Still smarting under thU setback. Bokanowski went before the senate to explain certain changes in the postal administration, which in France comes under the commerce department. He had eliminated a large number of postal Inspectorships, and a crv nf nmt from all parts of France. The senate flatly told Minister Bokanowski that it would not accept an order which diminished postal efficiency.

Defies Senate. Bokanowski, Instead of adopting a conciliatory attitude, declared that he would "raise the question of confidence" meaning that if the senate refused to approve his act. he would resign. This angered the senate, and while It is probable that when the matter comes to a vote, the senate win yield, the resentment against the minister for choosing this unprecedented course on a mere administrative question. Is so great that Bokan-owskls usefulness in the cabinet is seriously impaired.

Poincare has been urged for many months not only to get rid of Bokanowski but also to eliminate Tardleu and Marin replacing them all with men from the left. Such a course would be perilous usc iu is virtually certain that no socialist will vote for Poincare. and It is even doubtful If the socialists, in face of ct.mmuni3t taunts, would dare to maintain a neutral attitude. Unless the so cialists at least remained neutral, a Poincare cabinet drawn solely from the left could not stand. On such slender threads do France's destinies hang.
