HUMOR OF THE HOUR
Az to Mistakes.

During that lively epoch, to which
New Workers still look back with joy
and regret, when Theodore Roosevelt
was president Of the police board Of
the city an important matter came be-
fore him in his headquarters at mid
night for immediate decision. After a
moments intense thought he gave his
verdict in the rapid fire manner that
has often given him an undeservd rep
utation for undue impulsiveness.
'There, that's donew he said to q
friend. VERY likely I've made mis-
take, but. then, the only man who
never makes mistakes is the man who
never does anything"
This recalls the tale Of a colloquy
between lawyer and doctor on the
subject of mistakes. I'VE all make
Mistakes" sighed the doctor.
YES" said the lawyer, "but your
profession has a big advantage. Doc.
tors mistakes are buried six feet I'M.
derground.'
"Yes," retorted the physician, land
lawyers mistakes often swing twenty
feet in the air" -Woman's Home Com
paniOn.

Mayor Makes Statement.


"At the meeting of the auditing
committee, of the council yesterday the
matter Of Thompson's Walla Walla
work was brought out by a question
from DIR. Crichton. The eighth ward
man requested the mayor for Informal
ton as to how Mr.. Thomson was get
ting along in his outside work and
helping outside towns out Of their en-
cheering difficulties. The mayors re-
ply was terse and to the point. He
said:
"Mr Thomson is all through in WAL
la Walla. He is at present head over
heels in work for the city of Seattle"
The mayor declined to go into par
ticuiars as to the reasons actuating
Thomson in earning a fat fee as
consulting engineer on the Walla Wall
la water works system. The fact that
authentic Information bears out the
assertions of one or two people close
to the mayor that the chief executive
gave clear and distinct orders to
Thomson, however, has clinched the
matter in the minds of a majority of
the employees and officials at the city
hall"

MAY SETTLE CAR QUESTION
Attorney Makes Important Ruling
on Subject
The RAILWAY COMMISSION HAS POW"
TO DEFINE "REcIPRocAL DEMUR-
RAGE" RELATIVE TO THE
SUPPLY OF CARS.
THE RAILWAY COMMISSION HAS PoWt !"

ATTORNEY General j. d. Atkinson. in
an opinion rendered Saturday, holds
that the railroad commission has full
authority under the law creating it, to
define reciprocal demurrage' as the
right of shipper to demand empty
cars within a reasonable time after
making application to the railroads for
them. and that the commission also has
authority to fix and enforce penalties
by a reasonable reciprocal demurrage
rule or regulation.
If the railroad commission takes ac-
ton in accordance with the ruling of
the encouragement, as it is fully eX-
pected to do, it will have the effect of
transferring the vexed car shortage
disputes from the offices of the vari-
Gus railroad companies in the state.
to the office of the railroad commission
in Olympia. Members of the commits
sion do not attempt to conceal their
satisfaction over the encouragement
opinion, and while they say it was
what they expected. it will have the
effect of removing any doubt about
their authority to promulgate recipro-
cal demurrage rules which will be
strong enough to accom- liSh results.
The attorney-general's opinion is
contained in a letter addressed to the
railroad commission, replying to the
request made some weeks ago for an
official definition of the terms ode
murrage" and reciprocal demurrage,"
as found in section three of the rail-
road commission law of 1905, and is a
document of about 5000 words. The
attorney-ge general finds little trouble
in defining the word "demurrage,"
quoting numerous state and federal
courts on the subject as well as
Baldwin. in his work on American
railroad laws.

IS ENTIRELY DISCRETION WITH BOARD
WHETHER PERSONS IN REFORM
SCHOOL CAN BE RELEASED
ON CONDITIONS.

An opinion has been rendered to the
board of control by Assistant Attor-
ney General E. c.. Macdonald, that SUI
perior courts have no jurisdiction to
interfere with paroles of inmates of
the reform school.
1t was with respect to one of the
paroled girls that the attorney general
was asked for an opinion. This girl one
of an entire family that had such a
home that all were deemed fit sub
jects for the school, had been paroled
and had been placed with a family of
Eastern Washington farmers, where
she was we'll treated and was earning
81 a week. Her father, for some rea-
son that does not appear, secured an
order from Judge Hatch, of Jefferson
county, directing that the parole be
set aside and the girl be returned to
the school.
The assistant attorney general points
out that the matter of parole is en-
tirely in the discretion of the board
and superintendent, and that the
courts have no authority to interfere
1t is probable, however, in this case,
that the board WILL purely as a mat
ter of courtesy to the court, direct
the return of the girl to the school, but
steps will probably be taken to have a
judicial Interpretation Of this Iarole
matter at an early date, as, if the
courts may interfere with the paroles,
it will, of course, prevent carrying out
such plans as the board has had with
respect to the Bradford and Ball boys
and others.

Planting q City.


better SHELTER, lanes in time widening
into streets and streets into avenues
and boulevards. For this reason there
is scarcely to be found a model city.
Some sort Of order in the streets of an
cient, crooked Paris was effected by
ruthlessly ripping out whole sections
and running the highways through val
liable building sites. Most cities of the
old world and not a few In America
would be the better for artistic yet
merciless pruning of the same kind.
Two unusual opportunities for laying
out and laying down cities are now
open in America, both on the Pacific
coast. Canada has one of these at the
western terminus Of the Grand Trunk
Pacific. railway under government
control. The region around the site
Of the new seaport and terminus Is
practically a wilderness, and there is
nothing to interfere with having broad
streets, ample parks, suitable sites for
public buildings-in fact, building
city as it should be, with certainty
that it is to be permanent San Fran
cisco's opportunity is for rebuilding on
lines already fixed to a certain extent.
Commercial interests already fixed
will dominate because they are already
powerful. In some cases present in
terest may be sacrificed to future safe

stances is not to be expected. A gen.
GRAFTON hence it will be interesting to
note which Of the two built the more
wisely-San Francisco, with bitter ex-
perience to guide her, or Prince Rupert,
as the new Canadian seaport will be
called.
San Francisco has to consider dan
ger from fire and will certainly tie her
hopes to fireproof buildings. Earth
quake dangers will be met by i'm
proved steel structures of the style
which weathered the late disaster fair
ly well. Some method of binding the
stone blocks forming the shell of steel
buildings will add to the security un-
der earthquake shocks. Japan Is an
earthquake country. and the Japanese
build structures that will not be shaken

placed. But security from earthquake
Is bought at the expense Of danger

rage in the big cities 1t is said that
relatively the whole of Japan is burned
up once In the span of human life
and it is rebuilt with the expectation
that 1t will be burned again. To re-
build safely a city in the plight Of
San Francisco needs block after block
Of freproofs, with combustible struc-
lures absolutely cut out. Wide streets
and plenty Of open squares and parks
would lessen some Of the danger when
buildings did fall or take fire. San

tural model for earthquake districts.

ROADS BUY STEEL.
Heavy Purchases Of Rails Indicate Ex-

CHICAGO. May 2S.-It is evident
from the way that the railroads are
placing orders for steel rails for deliv-
cry in 1907 that construction work is to
be prosecuted on an extensive scale.
Thus far the business definitely placed
for 1907 aggregates $4,000 tons, and
there is now under negotiation fully
5000 tons more. Among the largest
purchasers are the Pennsylvania, the
Baltimore & Ohio, the line of the New
York Central system. the Milwaukee
& st. Paul, the Hartman lines. though
all the big systems of the country ap-
pear to be liberal purchasers.
Among some of the latest orders to
be placed is one for 5000 tons for the
Wisconsin Central. one for $500 tons
for the Nickel Plate one of 2200 tons
for the Chicago Great Western. and one
for $500 tons for the Baton Rouge &
Eastern.
Heavy Car Purchases.
Nearly all the roads are still heavy
