A CLOSE RACE.
Regulator Ahead, But the DalIes City Is
Hard to Beat.

Just how much Dalles people are in
terested in the D. P. & A. N. Co. and it's
boats was evidenced yesterday by the
large crowd, about one hundred in num-
ber, which boarded the new Regulator
at 2 80 O'Clock, for the purpose of taxing
spin down the river and determining
what she could do after donning her
new clothes. Captain Sherman was at
the helm ready for the fray.
The breezes got wind of the trial trip
and took part in the circus, walking the
tight ropes and tumbling around the
decks until the passengers took refuge
in the cabin. Then, too, the rains de-
scended and got the drop on the few
who still insisted on remaining outside.
At length, all settled down in expectancy
until the Dalles City hove in sight,
with Capt. Short at the wheel, as they
reached Rankin's Landing. Await
ing her convenience, for she must make
Ind at 6 20 the whistles On both boats
announced that all was ready.
The Regulator was about half a
length ahead as the race began, and al
though she led all the way, the Dalles
City was fright at her heels' as the say
ing goes, and the greatest distance be-
tween them at any time was about
length and half. 1t was pretty sight
as the passengers watched them intent
ay, eager that their own boat come out
ahead. As they neared the city the
palles City began gaining. and it seemed
TO be question which would throw
khe line first; but the good old Regu-
fator, Dong may she sally, touched the
dock first, as the shout of triumph arose
and the whistle told of victory.
The distance, which is nine miles, was
made in about twenty y-fve minutes,
which, if exactly correct, would make
nineteen miles an hour. Then, too, an
allowance of three miles must be made
for current.
The Dalles City, which is allowed 250
pounds of steam, carried from 160 to
1876 while the Regulator, whose limit is
Isl pounds, carried from 80 to $50. The
conditions not being as perfect as they
might have been, as the Regulators
steam pipes are not as yet covered, and
some features in regard to conditions on
the Dalles City being taken into con-
sideration, this is not considered per-
feet test, and the engineer is confident
that hecan beat this time by five or six
minutes; but it has certainly added to
the faith which the owners have in the
tive boate, and the pride which our
citizens feel in having two such steamers
on the river.
Two better hulls do not enter the port
of Portland than are possessed by these
boats. OF the Dalles City Capt. Short
says: "She is the best handling boat 1
have ever managed ;"and Capt.Sherman
is equally as confident of the Regulator.
1t fact, everyone is unanimous in their
estimate of the boats owned by this
company.

was employed, and sue upon the con-
tract, and recover his whole wages. 90
lie may treat the contract us rescind-
ed, and may Immediately sue on a
quantum meruit for the work and labor
he actually performed. In this case the
plaintiff elected to pursue the last
named remedy, which he was fully au-
thorized to do.
2. The next question presented is,
should the amendment offered have
been allowed? 1t will be noted that, as
set out in the petition, the contract was
Silent as to the time within which 1t
was to be performed. This did not rem
der the contract ambiguous, SO as to
allow it to be explained by other evil
dence, but 1t simply failed to recite a
time in which the terms of the con-
tract should be In force. This necessary
overment the plaintiff undertook to
supply by allegation Of the existence of
general custom or usage III such
business as he and the defendant were
engaged in, under the contract, as to
the time such contracts should be In
force when not otherwise agreed. The
time. then, In which the services were
to be rendered was an incident of the
contract and was not one of the terms
by which the duties of either party
We're to be measured. Section 52o6 of the
Civil Code prescribeS that evidence OF
KNOWN ana eSIdDISileu usage is uQIllSS-
lille to aid In the construction of con-
tracts, as well as to annex Incidents
Mr.. Greenleaf. in the first volume of
his treatise on the Law of Evidence
says that the rule which forbids the
admission of parol evidence to contra
dict or vary a written contract is not
infringcd by any evidence of known and
established usage respecting the sub
ject to which the contract relates. To
n pn rti hn
posed to refer, Just as they are pre-
sumcd to employ words In their usual
and ordinary Specification.
Under these rules, we think the
amendment offered as 10 the custom
should have been allowed, and that the
court below erred in rejecting it, cs-
pecially in n case when the amend
ment explicitly alleges that the Gus
tom became n part of the contract; and
for refusing to allow the amendment,
the judgment of the court below is re-
rersed.

BECK v. T. & T. S. co.
Supreme Court Of Georgia.
July %, 1899.

WHEN a CONTRACT FOR SERVICE
HAS BEEN BROKEN BY TIE EN-
PLOYER, THE OTHER PARTY
CAN EITHER SUE FOR DAMAGES
FOR THE BREACH OF THE CON-
TRACT. OR ON A QUANTUM
MERUIT FOR TIE VALUE OF
THE SERVICES RENDERED.
The plaintiff, by his petition, made
the following case: About September
Is, 1896, petitioner entered into an
agreement with the defendant, by
which he was to work for the latter as
travelling salesman In several Southern
States, and was to receive as compen-
sation for his services one-half of the
profit over cost OH all goods sold by
him for defendant, and also to have an
equal dividend on all future sales in pc
titioner's territory, whether made by
him or the house direct to the custo-
mer; that. under said contract, he en-
tered on said work. and took a great
many orders for goods, and secured q
large and remunerative trade for the
defendant throughout the State of
Georgia, and so worked for more than
two months; that the defendant, after
said time, refused TO observe the terms
of the contract. and to pay him for his
SCI SitCo, ii<lO UcSll iSISeu, dHu tHey
did so for the purpose Of dispensing
with his services, after he had succeed
ed In opening up his territory for the
trade, and to avoid paying him the
amount which he would be entitled to
under the contract,--and prayed to re-
cover the value of his services So rem
dered. a demurrer was filed to the petit
ton, and the plaintiff offered an amend
ment, to the effect that it was a custom
in the business in which the plaintiff
and defendant We're engaged, which
was we'll known to the defendant, and
was a part of the contract, that
plaintiff should have years employ
ment and such custom was reasonable
in that 1t requires at least a year to
build UP such trade, etc. The court
refused to allow this amendment, and
dismissed the case, to which ruling the
Plaintiff excepted.
The Court says:
l. 1t is u we'll settled principle of law
that where contract of employment is
broken by one Of the parties. the other
party acquires or may acquire, three
distinct rights: ~ He may bring an
action Immediately to recover for any
special injury which he may have sus-
tanned in consequence Of the breach of
the contract (2) He may walt until the
termination Of the period for which he
