Sheriff Stevens this morning tr out
guarded statement declaring that be
has "never had the slightest .Intention
of interfering with the working of the
prisoners of the county on the roads'
under the new law giving him custody
of the county prisoners, -which was put
Into effect by the proclamation of the
governor June 2S. - Just -what the sher
iff will do, and how he expects his
' Ideas to balance with the will-known
divergent views held by Judge Webster
and the countv - commissioners, aire
(.nines the sheriff is silent upon.
Supplementing the written statement
' he had prepared, the sheriff said that
ne nas pot ret conferred wun me mem
bers of the county court regarding the
control of prisoners at Kelly's Butte.
Prisoners at the Jail went under - cus-
tody of the sheriff today, and the real
rub win come at me rocK pile.
The sheriff says he Intends to con
fer-with Judge Webster and the com
: m Iks', oners concerning the transfer of
authority at the butte, until then he
is unnrenared to say Just what arrange
ment will be made, or what changes
win oe maae in tne roree. inat Buper
intentent A. S. Briggs will be asked to
walk the plank ana the pie divided un
. der a new deal may be taken, for grant
ed, although no statement on this score
is forthcoming from the sheriff, who
. appears to be somewhat cautious In
feeling his way.. k
foreshadows Changes.
The statement of the, sheriff has an
olive branch twined through it, but at
the same time there is an aggressive
tone that Indicates that the sheriff will
stand pat on the new law and demands
the fruits of victory. He says that any
cnanges which "may be marts "will be
for gootTand sufficient cause," adding,
"which I have every reason to-believe
. will be fully sanctioned by the county
commissioners.-
This 'is the ' sheriffs statement In
, full: - ' -
"There will be no drastic changes In
'the system of handling the prisoners
-under the new law now effective. Thla
law was passed for the purpose of more
clearly defining the rights of the sher
iff regarding the custody of the orison
ers. My predecessor in office contend
ed that he had the right to retain the
full custody of the prisoners at' all
times, and to feed them at a cost of
17 H cents per meal, As he w; per-
auch road work. The law Itself 1 quite
explicit In , providing ' that the sheriff
'shall, under the direction of the county
court of his county, in the case of pris
oners held to labor under existing laws,
work such prisoners at such places and
for such time) and In such manner as
the county court may direct.. I fully
appreciate the importance of the road
work that can be carried on by the
labor of the ' prisoners, and so long as
the county has the care of these prison
ers It would be clearly a waste of the
taxpayers' money not ' to keep them
working.--- --v-i
"For that reason I have no intention
of interfering in any way with the con
tinuation of the work now under way,
and any changes which may be made
in the care of the prisoners will be for
gwu ana sumcient cause, wnicn i have
every reason to believe will be fully

Insurance men of the. state believe they

At present all Insurance companies In
the state are required to make a deposit
of 160,000 each with the state treasurer
In 'the form of cash securities or Ore

In discussing the questions which.
hanST - about - the ' n.vt InalalMtlva Ma.
sion this morning. -Mr. McCue, who i;
In Portland on professional business,
talked freely of how he felt on the sena
torial situation.- Ha holds to the opin
ion that no man who makes a promise)
to the people can afford to. break that
promise and- expresses the belief that
no man who has taken Statement No. ,
1 will fail to observe his pledge when
he casts his vote. He contends that the
simple fact, that the men .who broke
their pledge would of necessity know
beforehand the disguar their action
would cause even in the ranks of those
with whom they .cast their votes, and
will of itself deter any one from put
ting himself In auch a position.
Mr. McCue also predicts . that there
will bs a long and fierce fight, In the
next legislature to procure some ade
quate fish legislation for the control of
the salmon Ashing on the i Columbia
river.-- The passaae of the two rival
flsh bills has put both the upper river
and the lower river fishermen in the
position of not being able to pursue
their business without bumping agalnat
hostile legislation. In order to brlnar
order out of the tangle It will be neces
sary for the legislature to take a de
cided hand in the controversy and en
act definite legislation for the eontrnl
Of tle industry on the whole river,
which law. will--be Just to both upper
and lower river men.
"It looks to me as though there will
be a big and bitter fight over -the enact
ment Of fish legislation." said Mr. Mc
Cue, "it Is up to the legislature to pass
a just and' adequate law to protect the
Industry of both the utmer and tha
lower river. The war between the two
factions Is bitter and the fight, between
them In the legislature will be long
and bitter. I'p to this time I do not
know what the lower river men-contemplate

pleased with the conditions so far. It
Is too early as vet either to sret unduly
active or to be able to tell what wUI be

says, but he adds that he has been
