OFFICIAL CONFERENCE SET Mr. SteTens Points; to Justifica tion of Charges of Over-Insurance and Says He Will Continue His Campaign. Sixty fire insurance policies obtained or Fire Marshal Stevens on the "con tents" of vacant dwellings and other places repose in the vaults at the City Hall as evidence that some insurance agenU write insurance without inspec- Tion. lnirty-iive insurance ascitis wuu -were caught in Marshal Stevens' trap are on the anxious seat, wondering what is to happen. Fire Marshal Stevens says it is all vp to State Insurance Commissioner VellB. The two will have a confer ence Tuesday with District Attorney Evans. In the meantime Commissioner Vlls is reserving judgment. Marshal Stevens says he had several motives when he started out to catch the insurance agents. , The first was to prove that fire risks are increased In Portland by reason of overinBur ance; the next that overinsurance is permitted though denied by insurance people; another that Insurance com missioner Wells had said be would re voke licenses of agents if he got suf ficient evidence of overinsurance prac tices, and finally, that it is to the gen eral interest of Portland to stop Indis criminate writing of policies. Everv insurance agent in the city got a chance to write policies on Mar shal , Stevens' vacant places. At the beginning the places were selected and firemen and their wives delegated to get the policies. In only a few cases did the agents make actual Inspections before writing policies, it is said. In one place, upon which about $10. 000 of insurance was obtained on "con tents," the contents consisted of a tin cup, a helmet and a grand jury sub tena. The subpena was left as a warn ing to the agents in case they made inspections. A policy for $1000 was obtained on a . saloon on Alder street, between Broadway and Sixth street. The contents of this place consisted of atmosphere, the place having been closed January 1. Other policies were obtained on property where buildings had been burned and even on vacant lots, upon which there were no Duua lnrs. It is probable nothing will come of the Investigation into the charge that one insurance man, in his anxiety to get back a policy mailed to a fireman. vposea as tne liremui aim icwchju Volley from a mailcarrier. Marshal Stevens says the postal olllciais ao not seem to take the charge seriously. Changes in the insurance laws to prohibit overinsuring of property, both by sgents and owners, are being dis cussed. Marshal Stevens says he is going to continue his crusade against overin surance and indiscriminate writing of policies.

Marion, Mrs. Mol lle Bowers kidnaped the girl, who is a ward of the Juvenile Court, and fled with her to Vancouver. Wash.. Friday. This is the second time that Mrs. Bowers has kidnaped her daughter since the custody of the child has. been in dispute. The Juvenile Court, with the aid of the police of Washington cities, is mak ing: an effort to trace the mother and her daughter, but, beyond the fact that they were seen in Vancouver, bound lor Centralis, Wash., nothing definite has been learned. Warrants for the arre6t of Mrs. Bow ers and her brother. Cecil Stump, who is thought to be implicated, were issued yesterday. 10 As a ward of the Juvenile Court, the cnua was to nave Deen, put in me uumo of Mrs. L. B. Saxton, or Barton, or. and it was while Mrs. Saxton was wait lng at Juvenile Court headquarters for the child that Mrs. Bowers majje away with her. Mrs. A. E.

County Court Announces Atti tude for Expenditures to Be Made in 1916. PACIFIC HIGHWAY MAPPED Work on Larger Route Also Will Be Limited and of Higher Class Kuthev Than for Great er Distances. ROSEBURG, Or., Jan. 23. (Special.) Proceeding on the theory that one mile of road properly constructed is worth ten miles of temporary and un serviceable roadway, the members of the County Court are making their plans to continue the road improve ment campaign in this district during 1916. In the language of County Commis sioner B. F. Nichols, former county roadmaster, and an advocate of better highways, no money will spent here after for temporary road construction. "Permanancy" will be the keynote of road building In Douglas County from now on," said Commissioner Nichols, "and only highways of a durable nature ' will be constructed." Pacific Highway Bllleace Much. While not generally known, Douglas County has more Pacific Highway mileage than any county In the state. And in addition, the rugged nature of the country In this vicinity makes permanent road building more -costly than in many of the other districts of the state. It was only a few years ago that tourists entertained a dread for Pass Creek Canyon, between the northern boundary of Douglas County, and Drain. This canyon is deep and rugged and tha nature of the soil made road building perplexing to even the most experienced highway builders. Dexter Rice, ex-County Judge, was the first official to wrestle with road construction in Pass Creek Canyon. He realized the necessity for a good highway there and employed engineers. Plans and specifications were perfected, but almost as often they were found to lack in some essential particular. Plan Finally Is Adopted. Finally, after months of preliminary effort, a plan was adopted and work on a permanent stretch of road began. This piece of highway, which eliminated many of the worst grades and dangerous curves in the canyon, was completed later and was found to meet the requirements of the tourist. This road marked the beginning of the road evolution in the Pass Creek district. While little work was done on the Canyon road last Summer, the County Court this year will resume the task of extending the road to a point where it can be completed within the next few seasons. Canyon Creek Canyon, which lies South - of Canyonville and which has been the scene of many fatal accidents during the past 20 years, is another district in which the County Court has experienced trouble in making a per manent road. The new Pacific Highway survey. which was completed recently through Douglas County, placed the officials here in a better position to prosecute road improvement than ever before. Lines Already Established. There can be no guesswork regard ing the route, for the lines have been established and will soon be accepted by the state. As explained by one of the officials in charge of the survey, the new route of the Pacific Highway , through Douglas County will eliminate practically all of the railroad crossings as well as reduce the heavy grades to the minimum. All work done, on the Pacific Highway hereafter fh Douglas County will be confined to the new survey, which will be recognized offi cially by the state. Douglas County hns more than 9) miles of the Pacific Highway, and as a result, the expense of improving this road and the laterals is an enormous drain on the treasury.
