CODE HEED SHOWN This Is the Final Week of Our Annual Clearance Sale Unusual have been the offerings of this, our onee-a-year sale, in which every article, -with the exception of a very few contract goods in our Carpet Department alone," has been included. And yet "just as important as the offerings of previous weeks will be those of this, the final week. Your personal investigation will reveal to you Paul Sroat Points Out Benefits of Proposed Draft by Commission. that Furniture, Floor Coverings and Drapery and Upholstery Materials of the better sort were never offered at such convincing prices. PUBLIC FAVOR EXPECTED Greater Authority to State Commis sioner and More Rigid Regula tion of Promoters and Com-, panles Would Be Result. If the proposed insurance code re cently drafted by the commission of 15 men named for that purpose by Gov ernor 'West, passes the Legislature in Its present form, it undoubtedly will meet with popular favor, both on the part of insurance companies and of the g insuring puDilc, says r.ui orus ot tne leading: insurance ulcu m city and secretary of the commission. The code now Is before the Legisla ture In the form of Senate Bill No. 38. It contains much that is of Interest to the general public "First of all", said Mr. Sroat yes terday, "the code as proposed has an enacting clause which it is hoped win stand the test of court proceedings. It was asserted that the former insur ance laws were inactive in many parts on account of detective framing of the bills at the time of their passage. Heretofore, as now, restrictions have been placed upon the organization of Insurance companies, but the laws gov erning same were capable of having several constructions placed upon number of the various sections, and made their value nil. Authority Now Lacking. "Then. too. while the state has main. tained an Insurance department with an Insurance Commissioner, whose duty it was to supervise the business of insurance as carried on in Oregon, the department has not been clothed with sufficient authority to carry out the intention of the law. These Impor tant features have been remedied In the new code. There are no unreason able restrictions placed upon the or ganization of new companies If there should be sufficient demand for them, but the cost of organization must not hereafter exceed 10 per cent of the capital stock. "Heretofore some promoters have used as high as 45 per cent or more, leaving the concern with a depleted capital which had to be made good be fore any dividends could be rightfully paid. The new code prohibits the pay ment of any dividends until actually earned. Regulations Set Forth. "It specifies the class of investments companies may make, regulates the loans and stipulates the security neces sary therefore. "It specifies the kinds of policies which may be issued and states what must and what must not be contained therein. "It provides for the maintenance of rating bureaus for fire companies which wish to combine and maintain such, but puts the rates so made un der the supervision of the Insurance Commissioner. Companies not using the rating bureau schedule must also file their rates and may not deviate therefrom until after changes have been submitted to the department. The supervision, inspection and control of such rates by the insurance department may be carried to such extent as deemed necessary for the public good, thus affording a means of preventing harmful combinations. Profession To Be Elevated. "The profession of insurance solicitor will be materially elevated in standing through a provision requiring agents requesting a license to file with the department a statement warranting the name, home address, occupation for past 13 months and names of employers for next five years preceding. "The selling or disposing of insur ance notes, before the delivery of the policy for which it is given, is pro hibited. 'Discrimination In the selling of In surance and rebating of any part of a premium will be prevented by virtue of law directed against both the sell ing agent and the purchaser and the misrepresenting of any of the terms of any policy sold is punishable by a heavy fine. "Standard forms of accident and health policies are provided for and misleading limited travel and health policies are prohibited. Assessments Are Limited. "Assessment Insurance, other than fraternal association-contracts, is 11m Ited to only such as has a rate based upon an approved actuarial table and the company Issuing same must have assets of J1200.O00 and surplus of 150, 000 over all liabilities. Including the valuation of Its contracts upon yearly renewable term basis. "Provlston is made for taxing all companies upon the net premiums, ex cepting only home companies having all assets Invested In Oregon securities. "Surety companies must comply with strict requirements in order to trans act business in the state, and these requirements are such as will warrant the purchasers of surety bonds here after issued In Oregon the utmost se curlty. "Title Insurance companies will be required to have a minimum capital of f 100.000. and deposit with the State TrH3urer the sum of $50,000. either in cash or in title to approved real estate i-r the pt Ltjctioii ot its guarantees. Public Favor Kxpected. "Mutual fire companies are restricted in the amount of insurance on any one risk, such restricting being based upon the total amount of insurance in force. The expense of such companies must not exceed a certain ' percentage of gross premiums and the liability of Its policy holders Is plainly staled. Only the Oregon form policy, as provided for use of all companies transacting fire business in Oregon, may be issued. 'Inter Insurance may be done under conditions which will warrant safety to Insurers and the proper rate of taxa tion to the state. "The fraternal societies are not dif ferently affected by the Code as It con templates only a re-enactment of the law passed at the last session of the Legislature, so as to have same a part thereof. Taken altogether, there is nothing unfair either to home com panies or to foreign companies in the new Code and a careful study of its various measure will undoubtedly bring It Into public favor." Dr. Harris Is Married. tr. Henry J. Han-Is, a dentist with offices In the Washington building, was married last night by Rabbi Halbern to Miss Bertha Sehayer. of Cincinnati. O. The couple left after the wedding for a short tour, and on their return will make their home at SOSVi Grant street. They will be at home to their fiends after February 15.

W0TI TUNNEL IN 1600 FEET Steel Will Be Laid to Elraira, 13 Miles From Eugene, In Spring and Big Fills Will" Be Made When Weather Permits. EL'GENEi Or., Jan. 25. (Special.) Fair progress, considering the weather. is being made on the Southern Pacific Company's line from Eugen to Coos Bay. according to W. P. Fontain. tne Southern Pacific engineer In charge. Clearing of right-of-way between Not! tunnel and Mapleton nas oeen coins- on contlnuouslv since last Au gust, and it is now fully 75 per cent completed. Work on tne ou tunnei is over two-thirds completed, and the work is well started on tunnel No. 2. a few miles west of Walton Postofflce. At the Not! tunnel work is being prosecuted from the eastern end and is now in 160U feet. The western portal has been cleared, and the bore Is far enough along to be underground, but the weather makes it lmpossioie id work from that end now. Three to four months" work will complete the remaining 900 feet of tunnel, however, and by that time tunnel No. 2, which is a short one, will also be finished. Grading for the new road is com plete ready for the rails, as far as Klnilra, 13 miles west of Eugene, and these will be laid Just as soon as the grade is dry enough in the Spring. For the six or seven miles between Elmlra and the Not! tunnel there are several large fills yet to be made, but this work cannot be done until the concrete "openings" are put in for the water courses. This, Mr. Fontain es timates, will require a month. When the big tunnel Is finished. grading can easily be done on the next six or eight miles down Wildcat Creek, before heavy grading begins again. Activity between Mapleton and Coos Bay is confined to the tunnel work near Gardnler. There were reports current on the Coast the first of the week that the route was to be changed to go west of Tsiltcoos Lake, following the survey of the Pacific-Great Western, which was bought last year by the Southern Pacific, but Mr. Fontain says he has no knowledge of such a proposed change.

UNIVERSITY; OF WASHINGTON, Se attle. Jan. 25. (Special.) Madame Sarah Bernhardt approves of co-education. She thinks that it is perfectly de lightful that the men should give par ties to the women and that the men and women should study together in the same classroom. In an Interview with two. students. Miss Margaret McCui- lough and Aimar Auzias de Turenne, she expressed herself as delighted with the American system of college education where the co-eds and the men mingle freely and give dancing parties to each other. Both of the students speak French fluently. Miss McCullough being an ad vanced student in the university de partment and Auziaa de Turenne, claim ing French as his native tongue. Do the men give parties to the wo men?1' was one of her first questions and when answered in the affirmative she clasped her hands in ecstacy and praised college society at length. It Is well that men and women study together," she said. "In some places they do not educate women, for, they say she has not ability. Is it not shame ful? She can learn as easily as man. Does she not do so? And it is good for the men that they study with the women. - 1 "It is delightful that the men give parties to the women and the women are allowed to give parties, too. The social life Is entrancing. is It not so? ' It all bespeaks so much frankness a,nd sincerity; it Is so natural, and lovely," and she smiled at her interviewers in ber own peculiar way. Madame will not see newspaper men. Non, non, non, non, but her manager gives out the newspaper interviews now. Aimar Auzias de Turenne gained admission to Madame's private car for long interview because his father is a personal friend of Madame. She reviewed the university cadets yesterday and when Major Roberts had nut the camDus soldiery through the in tricate movements of extended order he was showered with compliments. Arter the parade the cadets gave nine "rahs for Sarah" and she clapped her hands In appreciation. ILLICIT SALES ARE FOUGHT I. Touscher Arrested at Hood River on Bootlegging Charge.
