TIME SAVING ONE OBJECT Schedule of Sa.'aric for Tcacliers of Domestic Science, Cooking and Manual Training Is V . Approved by Board. At the School Board meeting yester day S. P. Lockwood, a. member of the Board, sprung a surprise by offering a resolution for the consideration of the Board recommending- the establishing of an "efficiency committee" of three members of the Board, the chairman of the School Board to become automatic ally a member of that committee. The resolution was read by Mr. lock wood, immediately adopted and M. G. Munly, the chairman of the Board, ap pointed Mr. Lockwood and J. V. Beach as the other two members. The resolution provided that this "efficiency committee" shall be & "com mittee of review, to prepare statistics and review the work that has been done for the district for the purpose of as certaining if greater efficiency can be provided or if economics can be intro duced without impairing present ef ficiency; and inasmuch as the other duties of the members of the Board consume so much time as to make-it impossible for them to make a review personally, let it be further moved that ,they be authorized to employ for spe cial work individuals qualified to make such reviews as the committee may think desirable, and that expenditures not exceeding $1000 be made by the committee from the funds of the school district to. pay for the necessary ex penditures of the committee. Time Savins la Aim. Mr. Lockwood explained that his resolution was not framed, to take care of any measures under consideration, but that it was designed to care for contingencies that may arise in the future. Mr. Lockwood further assert ed that there were circumstances that arose that took more time from busi ness duties of the members of the Hoard than the members could afford. With the employment of an efficiency expert to look into those contingencies and report to the committee, Mr. Lock wood declared, that results would be more satisfactory. The. committee is to he a permanent one. S. P. Lockwood was elected as the director for the 1916 Rose Festival As sociation from the School Board, de spite his protestations. The recommendation of the City School Superintendent and the school clerk regarding the admission of 21 nonresident children upon the pay ment of tuition: of the admission of 32 complying with the conditions stipu lated in the law regarding tuition, and the admission of 21 more without the payment of tuition, was approved by the Board. Bond Is Approved. The Board also approved the bond, passed on by the attorneys for the school district, in the American Surety Company, of New York, covering the case of Maud L. Richards against the school district. The amount of the bond approximated $2000. Audited claims to the extent of $64, 836.62 were ordered paid. A salary schedule, prepared by the school superintendent, providing "for a definite scale for teachers of domestic science, cooking and manual training in both the elementary grades and the high schools, was referred to the teach ers" committee. Mr. Alderman's sched ule provided for a minimum of $900 a year for the first year for the ele mentary manual training instructor, with a maximum of $1200 for the fourth year; $950 for the elementary instructor of cooking and sewing for the first year, and a maximum of $1100 for the fourth. In the hiirh srhnnio the minimum of $1150 was fixed by Mr. Alderman for the instructor of manual training, and a maximum of $1350 for the fourth year. For manual training instruction in the Benson Polytechnic School Mr. Alderman named $1600 as the salary of the head of the department; the same scale for his as sistant as the instructor in the other high schools, and for a helper a scale ranging from $600 to $900. Granted Teacher. Miss Caroline Holman was granted a month's leave of absence. The request of the citizens of the Brooklyn district for the material for a plavshed was placed in the hands of the building committee, and the offer of Samuel C Lancaster to furnish the Board with oO of his books on the Columbia Hlgh- j mr -..o a copy was referred to the supply committee. The Board members listened to fur ther appeals from residents of the Laurelhurst district for the inclusion in the 1916 budget of an appropriation for a school building to care for at least the needs of the first three pri mary grades. The matter was referred to the building committee. A deputation from the Ockley Green community asked for an appropriation eo that additional grounds for play purposes might be purchased. servimllIntinue SANTA CLARA OWXEHS ASSURE HANDLING OF COOS BAY TRAFFIC.' Strainer Kilburn Takes Out Passen mvrn and Cargo Accumulated Since. Departure of Ill-Fatcd Vessel. "Advise Portland Chamber of Com merce and others interested that we most certainly will arrange quickly to take care of Coos Bay traffic to their entire satisfaction, notwithstanding the loss of the Santa Clara, definite an nouncement tomorrow This message from the San Fran cisco office of the North Pacific Steam shin Company, which reached E B Fryer, district freight agent, last night was taken by him to mean that a sub stitute vessel would be placed in op eration so there will be little interrup tion in the service. It was thought that the company might send the M earner Geo. V. Klder into Coos Bay and Humboldt Bay on her trip Wednes day, so as to care for shipments until another vessel is placed on the route. The steamer F. A. Kilburn, sailing from here last night, had all the cargo that had accumulated since the depar ture of the Santa Clara Monday morn Ins" and it was evident the accident to the Santa Clara had not cut down the passenger travel, as the Kilburn had a good list. Captain McL.el.an took the Kilburn in and out of Coos Bay last voyage when there vaa a big sea on. and as the vessel has Kneed and nnvpr he rates her as one of the best of her class jDn the Coast. The steamers Yucatan and Alliance, of the North Pacific fleet, have been in Alaskan waters of late, the Yucatan being due at Astoria with a part cargo of salmon from the North, and it is understood the Alliance will also make delivery there of a large shipment. Whether one of them will be returned to the Coast trade is not known here. The et earner City of Topeka, running between San Francisco and Humboldt Bay under the banner of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, has been mentioned as a possible acquisition to the North Pacific fleet. Since the steamer Breakwater was ordered off the Portland-Coos Bay route by the Southern Pacific, being at present laid up at Marshfield, the North Pacific steamers have handled cargo destined for interior points formerly taken care of by the Breakwater, so there is steady business in considerable volume - moving from here. Railroad material from Portland, for the con struction of the new Southern Pacific connection v betweeen North Bend and Eugene, will probably be loaded on the North Pacific vessels also.

Controverain Over Accounts Are De clared Proper for Court Adjull cation. Not Departmental. SALEM, Or., Nov. 4. (Special.) Be cause many insurance agents in Ore gon have contended they were not re sponsible tor the payment of the pre mium on a policy issued at the request of another agent who delivers the pol icy to the insured, Harvey Wells, State Insurance Commissioner, today Issued a bulletin declaring that his depart ment would hold agents issuing such policies responsible for the premium's payment. "It is up to the agent issuing the policy to see that the company is re imbursed for the premium." said Com mtetfsloner Wells, "and he must look to the middleman for payment. If the policy holder has paid the premium to the middleman, the agent who issues the policy cannot cancel for non-payment. I would also add that it is not permissible for an agent to exchange a premium of a policy for merchandise or the payment of any debt." Controversies which have arisen over accounts, Commissioner Wells said, are proper for court adjudication rather than by the state insurance depart ment. "Under'the provisions' of the Oregon law," says Mr. Wells in his bulletin, "insurance companies may only tran sact business in this state through, their licensed agents, and none other than such licensed agents may solicit or negotiate insurance with our citi zens. "Trie payment of the premium or any part of same on such policies to any person or concern acting as middle man in soliciting, placing or otherwise negotiating' such insurance shall be held as binding upon the agency issu ing such policy or policies. "All insurance and indemnity con tracts are issued for a cash considera tion and such agents are not authorized to accept anything but cash in payment of premiums. The acceptance by such agents, or proposal or agreement to ac cept, of-merchandise or any other trade consideration or exchange, other than cash, is not considered as a legal trans action." TRAIN RUNS CHANGED SLIDES THREATEN CORNELIUS GAP TUNNEL ON UNITED LINE. Llnnton nnd Burlington to Get Service From North Bank, and Oreffoa Electric Also to Aid. Threatened slides in the Cornelius Gap tunnel west of Portland have caused the Vnited Railways tempo rarily to abandon service over that por tion of the road pending repairs. The tunnel has shown signs of weak ening for the last few days, and yes terday C. O. Jenks. general manager of the North Bank -system, ordered an in vestigation. Engineers learned that at one or two spots the bore is exceedingly weak and that immediate trouble was possible. He ordered service suspended at once. A force of workmen will be gin to make repairs today. Meanwhile Llnnton and Burlington will be given service by the regular North Bank trains on the Astoria di vision, and travel for all points west of Rorkton will be handled via the Ore gon Electric trains, which will connect with the United'at Orenco. The United trains for Wilkesboro, North Plains and other stations will be operated over the Orenco cutoff. Trains for United Railway points will leave the North Bank station at 8:15 A. M.. 1:05 and 5:25 P. M. Trains will leave Wilkesboro on the same time as at present 7:50 and 10:30 A. M. and 3:35 P. M. running through to Rock ton, west of-wthe tunnel entrance and thence returning and going via the cutoff to Orenco. Steamer Mariposa Is Floated. SEATTLE. Nov. 4. The Alaska Steamship Company's steamer Mari posa, which went on the rocks near Bella Bella, B. C, October 8, has been floated and towed to McLaughlin Bay for temporary repairs, according to word received by the company today. Insulated with a specially prepared paper, an electric cable carrying lo.ooo volts, in England, was found in perfect condition alter more than 2i years of service ROSE CITY PASSES All New Requirements Met Ex cepting Size of Liferafts. DEFECT MAY BE REMEDIED Steamboat Inspectors Are Busy With Seamen 15 Are Rejected Here. Northern Pacific Gets Special Examination at Flavel. Except that some of her liferafts do not quite meet the requirements as to area, a minor matter that may be remedied by increasing their beam if permission is obtained from Washing ton, the "Big Three" liner Rose City successfully passed the exacting pro visions of the new seamen's law, which went into effect at all . United States ports yesterday. Under the former regulations of the United States steamboat inspection service, liferafts were passed accord ing to their buoyancy, while the La Follette bill, which was enacted Into the seamen's law, provides that every raft shall have not less than three cubic feet of air cases or equivalent buoy ancy for eavch person -it can accommo date, and shall have a deck area of not less than four square feet for each per son and the raft shall not be less than six Inches above the water level when loaded. Instructions Are Awaited. United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller would not pass the rafts in ques tion, but will abide by any special privilege extended by Supervising Inspector-General George Uhler, as to extending the width of the rafts. He is to be communicated with by tele graph, and if his consent is obtained the Rose City's rafts will be up to the legal area when she sails Sunday. The Rose City's, annual inspection was due yesterday,' therefore she was the first carrier to come within the scope of the law, though others are ex pected to comply with its features at once. Her crew had no trouble passing examinations yesterday, the sailors to be rated able seamen and others as certified lifeboatmen, there being only two rejections in the entire company and, like virtually all Tejected so far, were unable to meet eye tests. In some cases the medical officers have passed men after they obtained giasss, except for color blindness Lieutenant R. R. Smith. United States Navj-, passed on the crew of the steamer P. A. Kilburn yesterday in the practical or professional examination, and. as the vessel sailed at 6 o'clock last night. Captain McLellan arranged with the Sailors' Home to supply him with certificated men to replace any of his company who failed. Fifteen Pall to Fan. At the same time he was assured at the Custom-House that if he could not obtain all certificated men he could sail, such instructions having been re ceived from Washington Wednesday afternoon. Crews of the Rose City. Kilburn. To semite, Columbia and Roanoke, also a few sailors unattached and Borne who had served in the Navy, have been passed on. Up to 4 o'clock yesterday 127 applications had been made, and with medical and professional exam inations not completed, 81 men were examined In all details so far, of which 15 failed. In order that the Great Northern Pa cific liner Northern Pacific could get away from Flavel for San Francisco yesterday, a special examining board was Impaneled in the morning, made up of Captain Hammerstrom, First Officer Sieckemeyer and Second Officer Erlckson, of the lighthouse tender Heather, and Captain Wicklund, of the Point Adams lifesavlng crew, who went aboard the ship and passed on the crew, so the steamer was on her way over the bar at 2:S0 o'clock in the afternoon. HARBOR WORK ADVANCING Tillamook and Nehalem Projects Proceed in Spite of Unruly Sea. Rough weather prevailing along th9 Coast for more than a week had not stopped Improvement projects under way at Oregon harbors, reports to Ma jor Williams, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., showing that work is going ahead, except dredgjntr on the Coos Bay bar, which is interfered with because of the heavy swells. During October, which was not a fa vorable period, the dredge Col. P. S. Michie handled more than 80.000 yards of material at the entrance to Coos Bay. Her record is 222,000 cubic yards in a month and during the most favorable weather the digger is reputed to move between 15,000 and 16.00C cubic yards a day. The south jetty at the entrance to the Nehalem will be finished this month and work started on a receiving dock and other buildings for the north Jetty, which is to be begun in the Spring. The inside extension of the Jetty at Co quille wll be completed the latter part of the month. Rock dumping is going ahead at Tillamook Bay and Nehalem Bay. A survey is being made of the bar and entrance at the latter place, being carried as far as the City of Ne halem. Columbia Slough is next Government Asked to Take Steps Tor Improvement of Waterway. Authority has reached Major Will iams, Corps of Engineers. U. S. A., from Washington to conduct a survey of Columbia Slough, persons interested in the future development of that waterway having obtained such con sideration through the War Depart ment of a project that calls for dredg ing a channel adequate for deep water vessels. It is said that if it can be shown the move is advisable an effort will be made to locate . manufacturing plants there. There is no current in Columbia Slough and for that reason it is be lieved that a channel can be main tained without trouble, as no sedi ment will be carried through it by or dinary high water. Part of the slough empties into the Willamette River and another branch into North Portland harbor. There are bridges across it that will have to be equipped with draws if it is improved. At present small river carrier pass beneath the bridges. opening ' of slough sought Ridgcfleid Club Names Committee to Meet With Commissioners. RIDGEFIELD. Wash.. Nov. 4. (Spe cial.) At a meeting of the Ridgefield Commercial Club Monday night a com mittee of three, consisting of Dr. Ralph. S. Stryker. H. H. Keim and William I. Groff, was appointed to confer- with the Clarke County Com missioners regarding the obstruction, mostly sano, which the United States Government dredge Multnomah al lowed to be plr.ced at the south- end of Bachelor Island Slough, near this place, while the dredge was in operation. It is said that for some time the pipe through which the sand and othr matter is pumped after being dredged was allowed to be emptied at this end of the slough, thereby partly closing wwa ... unnhoLiuii purposes, a num ber of farmers and dairymen on Bach elor Island have the slough for their outlet when shipping farm products, cream, milk and cattle to the various markets. BONCHAMP COMING- TO COAST Lindficld Finishes, Grain Cargo and . Steamer to Be Ready Today. Cables from London yesterday men tioned the charter of the French bark Bonchamp. which sailed from Leith July 22 for Gaico, but it was thought that she probably was fixed to load grain at San Francisco for the United Kingdom instead of coming here. One grain exporting firm reports that a steamer was ottered at 140 shillings for grain from here to Europe with 145 shillings asked for merchandise cargo. Of course, a liberal reduction was offered for a charter via the Canal, the chances for which appear dim until early next year. Of the fleet In port the Norwegian bark Lindfield finished loading grain for M. H. Houser at Irving dock and shifted to the stream. The Hokoku Maru, loading for Balfour, Guthrie & Co., hauled across from the bunkers to Albina dock yesterday and is to com plete her grain cargo there this after noon. The same firm will have the British steamer City of Corinth here Monday morning ,to load general cargo DAVID EVANS FUXLY LOADED Balfour, Guthrie & Co. Will Dis patch Lumber to Sydney Tomorrow. Last of about 1.000,000 feet of lumber for Melbourne delivery went aboard the British schooner David Evans at the North Pacific mill yesterday and she is to leave down tomorrow. Since reach ing here from Osaka, Japan, on Septem ber 26 the schooner was turned over to Balfour, Guthrie & Co., who purchased her subject to satisfactory delivery here. Captain Spicer remains in com mand. The brigantine Geneva, which sailed from the river August 21. with a lumber cargo' loaded here, arrived at Sydney on Wednesday, says a message to the Merchants Exchange. The schooner Maweena arrived in the Columbia yes terday from San Francisco and goes to Knappton to load lumber for Hono lulu. TURBINER TO BE DRYDOCKED Northern Pacific to Miss One Round Trip Next Week. The Northern Pacific had nearly 1200 tons of cargo in her hold when she got away" from Flavel yesterday. Her passenger list contained 292 names. Among northern travelers ticketed for San Francisco were: Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hall, of Vancouver, B. C. Mr. Hall is a prominent manufacturer.- The North ern Pacific will go into drydock for painting during one round trip after her southbound sailing from Flavel November 9. ' The Great Northern will arrive today with 196 passengers and 38J tons of freight. She sails on the return to morrow. MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer Schedule. DUE TO ARRIVE. Name.
