SMALL VALUE ON LIFE.
A Jury in the Circuit Court Returns a Yer
dict of RRNA

Jury in the Circuit Court Returns Yer.
dict of $500.
Last night the jury in the case of C..
E. Bayard ct al VS.. The Standard Oil
Co. returned a verdict of $500 damages
in favor of the plaintiffs.
This case grew out of the death of
Perry Watkins, which occurred year
ago last June, it is alleged through the
fault of the defendant. Mr.. Watkins
was driving past the oil tank then un-
der course of construction by the
company, on the road beyond the
Wasco warehouse. His horses became
frightened, Mr.. Watkins was thrown
out of his wagon, and received in
juries from which he died.
The jury by its verdict certainly
said the defendant was responsible for
Mr.. Watkins death by allowing dam
ages to his administrators. But the
damages are extremely low to say the
least. A human life certainly is
worth more than the paltry sum of
$500. If it was through an act of negli-
gence On the part of the Standard Oil
Co. Mr.. Watkins lost his life, the COM
pany should certainly have been re-
quired to have paid more than $500
damages; it is too low an estimate
placed upon human life. If the
company was not responsible for the
death then the jury should have said
so and returned a verdict for the de-
fendant. This verdict is on parallel
with the one recently returned by a
Grant county jury in the case of Hinkle,
who was convicted of killing a peddler
for the purpose of possessing his money
and then burning his body, which was
for manslaughter. The murderer if
guilty at all, was guilty of murder in
the first degree. The same is true of
the verdict rendered in this case; if
the Standard Oil Co., was in any way
to blame for The death of Mr.. Watkins,
it should have been required to pay
sum, not simply enough to
mulch it for the costs of the action,

Every Man, Woman and Child Should
Favor the Opposition Line.
ED TINES -MoUNTA1NEER:
Assuming that, as fair minded peo-
pie, the citizens of The Dalles believe
in reciprocity, that is TO say, if any
one does them some especial good they
believe they should return it in some
way, we put this case before them.
They have undoubtedly received
som, benefits, both directly and indi-
rectly, through the advent OF the oppo.
sition line on the river-directly by
the reduction of freight rates one half,
and indirectly by the prestiage that
our city will now have over other
Eastern Oregon towns by terminal
rates.
The farmers have received one cent
and half per bushel more for their
wheat through the rate .of the cents
per hundred, established by the White
Star Line, and that means more money
in circulation, which is for the benefit
of all. When you figure cut the
amount of new trade that will be
drawn here this next year through q
low freight rate, and corresponding
prices on goods, can't you see where
you will be still further benefited?
You will admit that the White Star
Line has been the entering wedge into
the high rate compact and have cut it
in two. Have they not done you good?
Will you return it? Will you help
yourself and your town out by patron
izing the White Star Line, by giving
them at least share of your business?
Every man should favor it, for it is
money in his pocket. Every woman
should favor it, for it is to the interest
of their husbands, brothers and lovers;
every child should favor it, for it
means better times for The Dalles, and
the surrounding country.

Ignorance of Practical Business Causes
Losses of Millions.

OSoSc
Ex-Gov. Mcconnell, of Idaho, who is
a special inspector of Indian agencies,
and who has made general inspection
of th. agencies in the West, has cer-
tainly done excellent work, and will be
prepared to make report to the de-
partment that will probably open the
eyes of some of those high in authority
at Washington.
In conversation with Times Noun
taineer reporter, Gov. Mcconnell
stated that he had discovered during
his inspection system connected with
freights in supplying the several
agencies by which the government
loses millions of dollars annually. On
account of the ignorance of men in
charge of the shipping, system has
been adopted by which all supplies
forwarded to agencies are classed as
third-class freight, whereas in reality
they should be rated as fourth and
fifth class. AS result, in supplying
the many agencies, the government is
required to pay what business man
would consider exorbitant rates for
like service.
This Gov. Mcconnell says is owing
to the ignorance of men in charge of
the business at Washington. They
base their calculations upon the fact
that freights are rated from first to
fifth class, and have struck an average,
estimating that third class rates would
be about the average, and have es-
tablished that as basis for all freights,
whereas most of the freights forwarded
by the government would be classed at
the lowest rate.
In his report. Gov. Mcconnell will
recommend radical change in this
line of the Indian service, and expects
it to result in great saving to the de-
partmeut.

Dogs For Klondike.

The discovery of rich gold fields in
Alaska has created an entirely new
field for the canine. He is to be made
the beast burden to carry the sup
plies of the miners across the mountain
passes. hence the hitherto worthless
cur has come into demand. Recently
200 of them were picked up in the
streets of Chicago, and have been
shipped out to Seattle to be fed and
fattened for the Alaska trade. They
form a great collection, being all kinds
of dogs, from the little spaniel to the
massive Newfoundland, but they will
all make good workers, and will be
sent north early in the spring. They
are under the tutorship of dog trainers,
and are each day taken out and put
through an educational course in
obedience and pulling loads.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
at Home in the Refurnished Quarters
Saturday Night.

|
Last Saturday evening The Dalles
Commercial and Athletic Club opened
its refurnished rooms. and entertained
some 500 guests. The rooms were
opened at o'clock and in a re-
markably short space of time they
were filled with the youth and beauty
of the city. The apartments were
tastefully decorated, and throughout
presented most attractive appear
ance. Every room in the building had
beer refurnished, new papers had been
| placed on the walls and the wood work
repainted and vanished SO that it
showed most brilliant.
At the opening, the athletic rooms
attracted the greatest attention and
the bowling alley was we'll patronized
during the evening. Though the par
| lors on the second floor were thronged,
the guests making themselves comfort
able and the members of the club ex-
erted every possible means for enter
| tanning their guests.
The new club rooms are indeed a
credit to the city, and to the club. On
either side of the landing on the
second floor is spacious parlor. while
the extreme north end of the building
is set apart as the billiard room, sup
piled with two billiard tables and
numerous card tables, and in the south
end of the building is the smoking
room also the directors and secretary's
offices.
Throughout the apartments are
elegantly apportioned, and have been
arranged with a view to beauty and
comfort No pains has been spared to
make the club quarters attractive and
too much credit cannot be given the
board of directors for the success with
which their labors have been crowned.
The club may now be considered one !
of the permanent organizations of The |
Dalles, and many benefits must result |
from its existance. Aside from the |
commercial feature which is the pre-
dominent Office for which it was Or
ganized, and through which influence |
all matters pretaining to the upbuild- !
ing of the city must originate, the |
social feature of the club must prove !
predominant. In the club rooms young |
men will find sources of amusement |
and comfort, a place where they can
spend evenings surrounded with every
thing that is elevating, and will also
be thrown into the society of those
whose influence will be beneficial
The club is indeed an organization
that is worthy the moral and financial
support of every citizen of the city.
