An effort is being made by the black
smiths and mechanics of the state to
have a law passed by the next session
Of the legislature giving the horse
shoers, blacksmiths and wagon max
ers a lien on the animal or other prop
erty on which they may do work.
Jens Olson Of this city Is the mov-
ing spirit in the promotion of the pro-
posed new law. He is very enthu-
siastic over the prospects as he has
had assurance from the mechanics
who will be affected over the state and
especially those of Lewiston that he
will get their hearty support. Many
men who have been elected to the leg
islature for the coming term have es-
poused the cause.
A bill along this line was introduced
in the last session. but was too late for
action and 1t went over. The new bill
will probably be framed along the
same lines as the material mans lien.
giving the workmen so days in which
to ile his lien and one year thereafter

Mr.. Olson stated to & representative
Of the Evening Teller that the me-
chanics to be included in the bill were
the only ones now, unprotected ana
that he believed that they should have
an equal chance with other workmen
under the law. He also stated that
he believed It would be fair to the
farmer - he must have credit and
credit could Be extended IL the black
smith and wagon maker knew that he
would Be protected by the law for his
