question that upon the prosperity or

the value of every kind of property
and the welfare of the large majority
of the inhabitants. Trustees cannot
be called upon to foretell the outcome
OF the future, nor be considered or
held to be guarantors for all time of
the investments which they May
make. What was the nature of the
security at the time it was taken; and
did MIR. Allen act as prudent man in
doing as he did.
The first security objected to is the
investment in the o. r. & l.. Co.'s
bonds. These bonds are secured by a
first mortgage upon the property and
franchise of the o. r. & l.. Co., and
are commonly known as the Pearl
River Division bonds. A similar in
vestment was approved by the JUS
tices of the Supreme Court in the
estate of LunalilO, and find no rea-
son for not following that suggestion.
1t was shown that the earnings of the
company were derived largely from
freightsproduced by the Eva planta-
ton, and 1T was cOntended that if that
plantation should suspend there

to discuss the possibilities of the future
to that extent. 1t was further
shown that the Company might have
been forced into bankruptcy If press
ed by its creditors, but that was not
its condition at the time the invest
ments were made nor would it neces-
sarily render the bonds worthless nor
depreciate their value to any great
extent. The question is, is the prop
erty covered by the mortgage appar-
emily good security for the bonds, and
was it so considered by prudent men.
L think this question should be an
swered in the affirmative. The next
on the list are the bonds of the Ka-
huku Plantation. We must admit
that our actions are controlled and in
huenced by the acts of others in whom
we put confidence. This was not a
venture solely of Mr.. Aliens, but
Others were interested with him,
among whom were Messrs. Allen &
Robinson, Bishop & Co, Grinbaum d
Co. and jams Campbell. The mort
gage given for the security of these
bonds covered the entire property of
the Plantation, representing an out

Handling a Dangerous Wire.

When a wire is seen to fall and emit
sparks, any person can secure one other
to assist, and then run to nearby
store for a ball of Irvine. Both then
can walk along the street, one on each
side, a long way from the wire, each
holding an end of a piece of Irvine
drawn between them. When they
bring the Irvine against the wire so as
to make it bear on the wire as high as
they can reach from the ground, they
can meet and one take both ends and
draw the wire to one side and tie it
to shutter hing or other point. If it
seems best to make the string hold the
wire more firmly, they can pass each
other and go around the wire again,
so as to wind the string about it. and
so make it possible to pull it aside.
this can be done without either person
getting within forty feet of the wire.

Lard Commission Accused of
Favoring Corporations,
SUIT TO SET ASIDE. THE LINES
Collision With The Tacoma Land Com
pany and Northern Pacific
Railroad Company.

Tacoma, Nov. 25,-Cfty Attorney
Wickersham has filed a suit prepared
by Attorney-Gen Jones of this state
asking that locations of harbor lines
for Tacoma harbor be set aside, on the
ground that they had been fixed through
collision and fraud, on the part of the
state land commission with the Taco
ma Land Company and the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company An order
was granted by Judge Stillcup Temporal
rily restraining the local board of tide
land appraisers from adopting the state
land commissions harbor line locations.
The suit is the result of the failure of
the city to come to an agreement with
the two corporations named respecting
outlets for city streets to deep water.
The suit attacks the constitutionality of
the law creating the state land COM
mission. If the law is to be invalid the
harbor line locations of over a dozen
cities and towns on Puget sound, Gray's
harbor and Willapa harbor must be set
aside.

MOUNT TACOMA WAS ALL THERE.
The Monarch of the Range Seen by Hun.
dreds of People Sunday.

Tacoma. Nov. 25.-The clouds lifted
this afternoon leaving Mount Tacoma
in sight. thick cap appeared over
the mountain for time, but at 4:9O D.
m. had entirely disappeared. No break
in the crater rim was visible from here.
DR.. Culver, local weather observer,
thinks the cap was of vapor and mist,
such as frequently collects about the
mountain, and not smoke or steam.
Many people viewed the mountain with
glasses, while it was visible. There is
no doubt, as reported in these dispatch
es, that a number of people believed
they saw smoke coming from the crater
Wednesday morning, but that they are
of the opinion that what they witnessed
was vapor blown about by the heavy
winds in a manner to resemble smoke
or steam. The heavy cap which hung
over the mountain early in the week,
indicated to careful observers the heavy
rainstorm which prevailed Friday and
Saturday.
