The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1906-09-21

In response to request by tow
boat owners. the recent decision OF
the department of commerce and
labor in regard to the privilege OF
towboats carrying other persons than
their crews. has been found. The
case of the X. l.. Aubrey was mem
toned in which the owners of that
boat were fined $500 for carrying
extra persons. The local inspectors
have given out orders that towboats
running out of this port could not
CARRY persons who did not have di-
rect connection with the business OF
boat. and even the number of those
persons Is limited. The Courier-Jour-
nal quoting from the New York
Journal of Commerce gives the de-
cision of the department in the case.
where the Louisville inspectors OBJ
tanned judgment against the II. L.
Aubrey. 1t follows: 1.-THE department.
decides that in this case there was
no violation of section 4,4l7 r. 8.
1t appears from the correspondence
submitted. That on July Z, 1906, the
steamboat X. l.. Aubrey. towing
vessel belonging to che Peoples Coal
company of Pittsburg, was used TO
carry certain employees of that yes
sci. their families and guests upon
pleasure trip up the Ohio river.
and that while thus navigating thu
boat was sunk. The Il. l.. Aubrey
was operated with towing license
but the persons on board were being
carried solely as an accommodation
and without any compensation wat
soever. In the absence of any deci-
sions of the courts, constructing as
passengers persons carried gratui-
tously. on vessels other than those
engaged in carrying passengers for
hire. the department, in reversing
the judgment given against the Peo-
pies Coal company placed a correct
Interpretation on the will of con-
gress."

According To Ruling of The
Local Inspectors.
j. Il. Lord Interested ia Recent De-
cision Governing Passengers
On Towboats. \
THE CASE REPORTED IN FULL

An owner of manufacturing
plant can carry visitors in and out
around the most dangerous machine
cry, but the owner of a towboat can
not call his property so exclusively
his own. At least that is the decision
of the local boat Inspectors.
Mr.. j. b. Lord of the Ayer-Lord
Tie company, which owns numerous
towboats and innumerable barges.
up till the last week hardly dared
ride on his own boats. Much less
could he carry business friends or
relatives on river trip.
The river law says that a towboat
cannot carry persons who haven't di-
rect business connections with the
boat. The local Inspectors had in
formed the Ayer-Lord Tie company
that while It might be permissible
for Mr.. Lord to ride on his own
boats at will, he could not invite
other persons to do so unless their
presence was essential to the opera
ton of the business of the boat.
The local Office of the Ayer-Lord
Tie company was worried by the
decision.
A CLEAN through the darkness of
technicalities was seen when a de-
cislon OF the department of COM
merce and labor in a similar case In
Louisville held that towboat could
carry extra persons so long as no
compensation was received for the
service. Mr.. Lord can now invite his
friends to enjoy his own property.
but. of course. every increase in
passengers must be accompanied
with a corresponding increase in
life-saving facilities. The Sun was
importuned to get the decision OF
the department so that local river
men could know where towboats
stand in the matter of carrying ex-
ira persons.

ADVERTISING RAPID.

hA LII xShl LII.
It will be noticed in this is
sue that the old advertisers
of the paper have each a
new short story complete
in this issue that was writ
ten for the benefit of the
sensible buying public
either for the holidays or
later. The management Of
the UNION appreciates
these changes, for to them
is mainly due the general
feature changes in this
newspaper. The home
newspaper and it's adver-
Using we have always thot
was the photograph Of the
town it is printed, the bust
ness picture, of what tho
town is doing. If the adj
vertiser continues to sell
skates in July and ice
cream soda these warm
evenings in January, there
must be something awry in
Copenhagen. So when the
advertiser insists on a sea-
sonable story in his cad"
he is also helping out the
composite parts of q good
negative, Of his town, and
incidentally helping to
make Cne paper Wllcn ne
patronizes, a good live
newspaper. The live adj
vertisers, to say nothing
about space rates, is at
once the most valued con-
tributer. Their help to adj
vance these little ideas of
ours this week is hiehly ap-
preciated.

SOUTHD DAKOTA WATER.

With the rapid increase IN
settlement in western South
Dakota, especially in connection
with the Belle Fourche Reclaim
alton Project, the questions Of
local water supply has taken
on much interest. The surface
waters IN many portions of the
area are not SATISFACTORILY quail
ity or quantity, so that the
deeper seated and artesian wat
ers will have to be extensively
utilized. The United States
Geological Survey has been in
vestigating these underground
waters for several years, and a
report now in preparak n by
Mr.. N. Ell. barton will set forth
the results.
It has been found that the
entire plains region adjoining
the Black Hills is underlain by
Dakota sandstone carrying a
large volume Of water under
considerable pressure. This
water lies at depths Of 500 to
$1,000 feet, or even more, and
lin many districts, especially
along the valleys, will afford
large artesian flows. The in
vestigations have been carried
on with the view of ascertain
ling the precise depth to the
water-bearing sandstone at all
points and the limits Of the area
lin which an artesian flow is
avallable. This area has been
found to be much more extern
sive than was originally sup
posed, and artesian waters may
be obtained at many localities
where local supplies are greatly
needed. Some preliminary pre-
Idictions thatthe water would be
obtained in the larger valleys
last of the Black Hills have
been abundantly verified by the
success Of a number Of wells
along the line Of the new rail
way from Pierre to Rapid City,
in a region where the surface
waters are mostly Of an unsatis-
factory quality.

ground waters Of the northern
Black Hills region will COM

JONES OF TEXAS.

man. Col. Jones, (somehow
the presence of the gentleman
suggests at least the rank Of
Colonel) insists that he is just a
plain member Of the family of
Jones, that he knows no rank
nor title, and that he is just an
ordinary product Of Texas, that
by a peculiar chain of circum-
stances, happened to drift up
here for his health, after having
made an iteneraryf for California
and the coast country. Mr..
Jones has been a figure also in
the politics of his state as we'll
as an editor. His last job of
speli-binding during a recent
campaign that was of so siren
uous a nature that he was per-
force obliged to take needed
rest, so he disposed Of his news
paper interests and sought other
scenes for rest and relief. He
took q contract, in the last cam
paign to meet an attorney of
the opposing party in a series
Of sixteen joint debates. He
had his opponent going south
some, and would he thinks,
have finished him in the next
round if the opposition mana
gers had not switched attorneys
on him. They brought a dis
.trict attorney into the ring, he
says, who made it SO hot for
him that but for a pride Of an
cestry of long-standing, he
would have declared the battle
of words a draw. This district
attorney, he says, was RESPONSE
bic for his breaking down in
health.
Mr.. Jones has edited a news

is MAKING A MINE.
Improvement in Conditions at May
Day Are Pronounced.

Now that he has been able to make
arrangements for teams with which to
do the hauling Manager J. +. Darmer
of the May Day properties, states that
ore viii be coming to market with greater
frequency than for long time past. Con-
ditiOns in the mine are improving all the
time and, during the weeks that it has
been next to impossible to get hauling
done considerable ore has accumulated.
The opening of the 300, 400 and 500-fOot
levels below the tunnel since last Au-
gust, when Mr. Darmer urged upon the
directors and shareholders the necessity
of providing better equipment in order
that the shaft might be sunk and the new
work he frankly admits, has not been
without results. Between the 800 and 400
foot levels and on the 300, operations
of the last two months or so have been
particularly encouraging and had it been
possible to get hauling done. the exhibit
would likely have been better than it is
today.
While the work of development has
been in progress the management has
been careful not. TO talk of strikes that
might have proven misleading and turned
out TO amount to nothing As improve
ment has been shown he has so advised
everybody who sought information from
him. ever careful not to Overstate the
facts. That his judgment of what ought
to be done in the mine is now beginning
to get it's verification in results he is
