THE PACIFIC MUTUAL Life Insurance Cnmpany of California Organized 1868 on "Old Line" Plan. Ijad what one who is recognized au thrity on the subject, has to say: "Of lat;e the magazines and daily papers he had much to say by way of criti c' of certain Life Insurance Compa , and especially with regard to the Organization of such Companies, of the manner of their control. These CRITICISMS- do not apply to The Pacific Mutual, but DEMON STRATE the Truth of the Assertion that "for [POLICY-HOLDERS The Pacific Mutual has the BEST Legal organization." It is not controlled by ONE or Two men, having no pecuniary interest or responsibility save as policy holders, or recipients of salary; But it is controlled by a BOARD of fifteen Directors, not mere dummies, but Stock holders in their own right, holding a large amount of the Company's stock, and Policyholners as well. The Direc tors of the Company are men of high Financial and Commercial standing, and are by LAW made RESPONSIBLE for the acts of the Officers of the CORPO RATION. "The Company has a capital stock of $500,000 Fully paid up in GOLD coin, but while this Capital and the Stock holders' responsibility afford to Policy holders the GREATEST possible Secur ity, it Costs participating Policyholders NOTHING, but every dollar paid into the Company by them and the ACCU MULATION thereon, is applied - to their BENEFIT. There is no Other LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY trans acting business in America whose Pol icyholders, by Legal enactment, are so Safe-guarded as are the Policyholders of The Pacific Mutual."

TO HUNT SEA ELEPHANTS The Voyage of the Brig Daisy to Desolation Islands. New Bedford Letter, in N. Y. Herald. The Brig Daisy sailed this week un der command of Capt. Benjamin D. Cleveland, her owner, for Desolation Islands, on a sea elephant hunt, to be gone about two years. This will be Capt. Cleveland's fourth voyage for sea elephants, and probably his last. Then the animals will be without an enemy until some daring whalernan decides t-o visit the isolated land for hides and elephant oil. When the Daisy reaches the is lands it will be spring, although there is no mild season there. Hurricanes and storms give continuous perform ances and there is no vegetation, ex cept a wild plant that resembles the cabbage. The brig will be anchored in a landlocked harbor with which Capt. Cleveland is acquainted, while the crew is killing elephants on shore. The men will make trips ashore at daylight every morning and visit the haunts of the sea elephants. The killing is done on land, and a catch is almost certain. Before Capt. Cleveland made his first voyage, in 1897, no hunter had visited Desolation for 20 years, and the elephant population was very large. In the bark Swallow he brought back about 2,000 barrels 01 oil, the product of about 4,000 ele phants. In the Robert S. Graham he returned with 2,400 barrels, and by the brig Lenora, three years ago, his catch was 2,600 barrels. Said Capt Cleveland: "The sea elephants are found ir herds, se--etimes hundreds together To kill them we use rifles, lances and clubs, the largest bulls requiring ri* fles, although they are ferocious look ing beasts, as their noses protrude when approached and their mouths open in a vicous way, they will noi attack a man, and unless one is care. less there is no danger in attacking. them with a club. There is a place in the head about as big as a walnui where a mortal wound can be given ICOLUMBIA TO GEORGETOWN.

That vate transportation is feasible was provei long before the present generatioi was born. It was again shown whei the "Highlander" a couple of year ago did a fine business between herr and Georgetown, but was unfortu nately destroyed by fire. The possi bilities of water transportation ani the success of the Highlander inducei the business men of Columbia to buili a new boat, "Tne City of Columbia, which was launched this afternooi with the best wishes and plaudits o hundreds of Columbians. The launching took place at th foot of Senate street, where a per manent wharf is to be built. The City of Columbia was built a the riverside, and Capt. Graham, whi has constructed many river freigh boats, says that this is the best ves sel he has ever built. President W. J. Murray, who ha been the inspiration and worker o the undertaking, in introducing Presi dent Washington A. Clark, the presi dent of the Chamber of Commerc< said that he was satisfied that Colum bia had made no mistake in going int the river transportation venture. Dr. Murray said that when thirt days ago the board had been- assure that river navigation could be resum ed he felt that this meant very muc for the business interests of Coluna bia. NOTICE.
