The !amount of insurance written in‘ 1924, showed an increase of 20 per cent over that written in 1923 compared with an increase{ for the United States as a whole of only 8.2 per cent. The Montana Life closed the year with $37,639,409 of insurance in force and a Policyholders’ surplus of more than a million dollars. In the'ratio of Policyholders’ surplus to assets amounting to 16.7 per cent at the close of 1924, the Montana Life is one of the strongest com- panies in the United States. “While the Montana Life is proud of the progress it has made, we re- gard it more as a foundation, upon which the people of the northwest in the course of the next few years will see arise one of the largest and strongest western life insurance in- stitutions,” said H. Ry Cunningham, vice president “and manager of the Montana Life. “Since 1918 insurance in force in oug company has increased 16, mil- lion dollars. In the same period our assets have more than doubled, amounting at present to nearly six million dollars, “Admittedly one of the strongest life insurance companies in the United States, the Montana Life at the same’ time has expanded and modernized its policy forms until today they represent the last word in insurance protection and will cover every insurable life need. “The Montana Life sells insurance protection. It gives. insurance ser- vice, and in thus giving, it has cre- ated for itself an intangible of enduring value. The greates| set a life insurance company possess is satisfied policyholders, and the records of the transactions of this Company prove that the lations between the Company and i policyholders are one hundred per cent satisfactory.” PROGRESS ON TOMB I$ MADE Preliminary Work Is Nearing “Completion, Statement PROBE POWER OF CONGRESS _IS LIMITED Washington, Mar. _16.—Con- gress cannot collect by access to books and papers through a Federal investigating ‘body all the information desired for con- sideration in the forntulation of a legislative policy, the Supreme Court held today.

Mar. 16.—Hun- dreds of families have been made homeless and immense property dam- age caused by floods in Indiana, Ohio and Iinois, according to word received here. No loss of life was reported, The floods followed an unpreced- ented rainfall over the central Ohio valley. It sent’the Wabash, Maumee and other streams over their banks; to water spreading away over miles of country. A cold wave added to the suffer- ing of those who had been forced to} vacate their Homes. | Railroad traffic has been inter-j rupted, passenger trains held: up by washed out tracks and flooded brid-' ges, and automobile highways made | impassable. | The fact that the water rose slow-| ly is believed to have saved scores of lives. Warnings were given in time for families to vacate endanger-|{ ed homes. Reports from, Peru, Warsaw, Car-! mi, Mt. Carmel and other cities said | scores of families were living in the | upper stories of their homes. They refused to vacate at the approach of the flood. It was feared’ some of these buildings would be carried rom three to six inches of rain fell night and Saturday morn ing. The streams were already run-| ning bank full and the fresh flood | sent the water spreading over the lowlands in every direction. WANTED, The Association THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE U.8.

C., is being completed, according to an offi communication issued by the min- istry of public works. It has been decided to close the tomb until the arrival of Dr. George A. Reisner, assistant pro- fessor of Egyptology at Harvard, who, although head of the expedi- tion, was in America when the tomb was discovered, so that he may be able to see the burial place as it was when originally found and take charge of the long, diffi- cult work of remoying the objects it contains. Meanwhile Allen Rowe, who is in charge,of the operations, and his assistants are taking steps to make the 90 foot shaft leading to the tomb more secure. All of the inscriptions on the gilt mat on the sarcophagus has been read, and it contains nothing but the complete names and titles of Seneferu, arranged symmetricaily. Forty feet south of the tomb shaft, the foundations of a small stone pyramid have been found. The -shaft and its stairway, to- gether with the temple which or- iginally existed between them and that pyramid were found to have formed a complete unit, and, if this assumption. is correct, the of- ficial communication says, the tomb dates back before the time of King Cheops, known also as Khufu, one of the kings of the fourth dynasty coming after Seneferu. Thus the belief of some antiquarians that the tomb may possibly be that of Cheops, will be disproved.
