recent automobile accident calls attention to
the frequency of such mishaps when chaufeurs
take out machines without the owners permits
sion or knowledge. There has been discussion In
Massachusetts of a severe punishment for
chauffeurs in case of accidents under such cir
cumstances Perhaps If a few examples were
made of the men who take out machines without
their employers knowledge and by their reck-
lessness do serious damage automobile accl-
dents would be less frequent. Such use Of ma
chimes by servants appears to be common
practice and automobiles taken out thus are
probably more reckiessly used than when the
owner and his family or his friends are present
in the A chauffeur caught speeding. If he
has taken the out without it's owners per-
mission. should receive a term in tail.

about one-third of Stevens county.
Congressman Jones and the post

objections to the final establishment of

til he could see the department officials

I'VE did it with our little trip. All

This means that all of the proposed

amounting to $35,140.07, which sum
was appropriated by the Legislature
of Oregon, 1852. but no portion of said

books of the treasury department at
Washington indebted to the United
States in the said sum of $35,140.O1 and
some small credits, amounting to ST.

came due, to help cancel said indebt
