Il.
. Parent and Child
Before the Law.

A very interesting paper on the
above topic was given in number
Of Harper's Bazaar which sets forth
some little known points of law. re-
lating to the obligations Of father and
mother to a child.
The father Of an infant Is bound to
provide him with neccssaries. in
Guiding food, clothing and medical at
tendance. II he docs not provide such
necessaries, Il stranger who furnishes
them can hold the father liable. The
obligation on the part of the parent
to maintain the child continues until
the latter is in condition to provide
for his own maintenance-generally
speaking, as long as he remains Il
minor But by the statute law of the
country this obligation only ends with
death in the case of children who are
blind, lame or physically or morally
incapable of providing their own sup
port. 1t is the purpose of the
law not to compel a father to main
tain idle and lazy children in ease
and Incidence, but to provide the
young and inexperienced with the nur-
ture and sustcnance to which they are
properly entitled from those who
brought them into the world; this to
continue until they have gained
strength and ability to care for them
selves.
1t Is doubtful to what extent a
mother is bound to support her child.
In general. she would not be bound
to do SO during the life Of its father.
Under some statutes an adult son is
compelled to support his mother. A
father cannot avoid his responsibility
for the support of his child, even
though he may agree with the mother
to do so; and although a wife, by her
own fault may forfeit her own claim
to support she cannot forfeit that Of
the children.
\ stepfather is not bound to support
his Stcpchlld unless he practically
adopts him by taking the child into
his family and providing for him,

thus giving him the same status as
Il natural child. An adopted child and
the person legally adopting have all
the rights and are subject to all the
duties Of the relation of parent and
child, including the right of inherit
ance.
The duty Of child Is. first Of all,
honor and obedience Failure to rem
der these, or ingrattude. may be pun
lshed by disinheritance. The father
may cut his children off entirely, but
he cannot leave more than half his
property to charitable institutions If he
has wife and children living. (This
is true In New York,
According to common law there is
no legal obligation resting upon child
to support a parent in case of either Il
minor or adult. In some States stat
utes have been enacted to enforce this
duty, with the result that the Sta @

A father has a right to the services
and earnings Of the child while the
child lives with him, and is main
tanned by him-a right resting on the
parental duty OF maintenance and fur
nlshlng some compensation for the
service he renders the child. How
long this right continues is open to
question, but certainly until the child
reaches the age of IA, and usually dur
ing the entire period of minority. But
where father refuses or neglects to
support the child or compels him to
support himself. the right to his earn
ings ceases. At common law mother
has no implied right to the service and
earnings of a child. as she was not

MILLION DOLLAR DEAL.
Seattle and Everett Syndicate Buys
British Columbia Timber.

Br1t1Sn COluulDlA TIMBER.
Seattle, July 6.-The Post-Intelli-
gencer says:
The biggest deal in timber lands
since the Weverh aeuser syndicate came
to the state OF Washington was consum
mated when G. II. Cobb, James Camp
bell and Rufus II. Smith, of Seattle,
and Frank Brownell, of Everett, paid
$ 600, 900 in cash to the Dunsmuir es-
tate for so, 900 acres of timber lands on
Vancouver island.
This deal has been on for more than
a year, during which time the intend.
ing purchasers had cruisers visiting ev.
cry part of the tract and estimating the
number of feet of timber standing. The
reports of the cruisers were SO satisfac-
tory that the Geal has been closed and
the purchase price paid.
The purchasers are to have the choice
OF any so, 900 acres of the 1000, 900
acres owned by the Dunsmuir estate.
These lands were secured by Robert
Dnnsmuir under crown grant in 1850,
and have been in the family ever since.
Robert Dundsmuir made fortune in
coal lands on Vancouver island and
when he died he was the richest man
in the Northwest section of the country
The cruisers estimate that there are
$500, 900, 900 feet of lumber in the 80,
600 acres that will be selected by the
Seattle men. Just what the plans OF
the syndicate are has not yet developed.
They may build mill and manufac-
ture the lumber for market. If they
prefer to ship the logs to this side,
however, there is nothing to prevent.
The timber being on crown grant
lands there will be no duty, either i'm
port on the part of the United States
or export on the part of the Canadian
government on the logs sent out. The
syndicate can ship the logs to Puget
Sound or any other part of the United
States for manufacture into lumber. il
it desired. Part of the land is on salt
water, but most of it is on Campbell
creek.
