Gossip in Railway Circles

c. L. Canfield, general agent Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Rail
road, has returned from Los Angeles.
In discussing his visit to the south he
remarked:
considering the weather conditions.
must say the trip to and from Los
Angeles was remarkably fortunate
one. 1t took little over twenty-five
hours for the home journey, but the
train had to go slowly, as the track in
many places was soft. The country
from Brentwood to Lathrop is afioat.
Wherever you look men can be seen
swimming horses and cattle TO the
higher grounds, and there must be a
great loss in horses, cattle and sheep.
From Bakersfield to Merced the coun-
try is safe and comparatively dry.
Most of the houses are deserted in
the flooded district and those that are
not abandoned have people living in
the second stories. The San Joaquin
River is raging. It is in tremendous
food and In some places it must be
fully twenty miles wide. There has
been a great deal of rain in Los Angeles
County and the streams are all swollen.
Freight is irregularly received and the
people in the south are to a certain
extent experiencing the evils of too
much rain"
r w. Hoover has been appointed in

General Manager z. E. Calvin. IT
must be careful to say, however, that

came out OF meeting in a towering
passion. He was using strong Ian
guage. and. seeing me, stopped and
said:
THAT man c. Is an unmitigated
scoundreL I will have nothing more to
do with him. He is outside the pale.
Why, he dies to his friends

was perfectly justifab1e to lie to those
who were not his friends"

Manufacture Fruit Boxes.

Jonathan Moulton is preparing to
build shingle mill at Dry. Buck and
will operate it this summer. There

poets to have the mill in operation
next month. 1t will have capacity
of $4,000 shingles per day and will

working, and will undoubtedly make
a success of the enterprise.

HARRIS CASE REVERSED.
Supreme Court Rsverses Deci.;on d
Judge Stewart in Flums Contract
Case.

| The supreme court last week re-
versed the decision of the district
court of Ada county in the case Of
Phil Harris versus the Faris-Kesl
company. Harris had sub-con-
tract for all the flume work on the
Canyon canal. The Faris- Kesl COM
pany was to furnish the lumber
whenever and wherever needed. 1t
failed to do so in time for Harris to
complete the work as specified in
the contract and Faris & Kesl finish
ed the job. Harris sued for work
performed.
The court holds: Where Harris
and the Faris-Kesl Construction
company entered into a contract
whereby Harris was to furnish all
the hardware and put in place more
than 1000, 600 feet of lumber in the
construction of fumes. trestles, ETC.,
and the company was to furnish all
the lumber at the times and places
where demanded by Harris, and it
fails to do so and suit is brought to
recover prospective profits, the
court in constituting such contract
should admit in evidence the facts
and circumstances surrounding the
making of the contract and the rea-
sons for the failure of the company
to furnish the lumber in accordance
with its terms.
IF the failure to perform on the |
part of the company was because of |
its intention to enforce or compel |
Harris to terminate the contract,
the measure of damages would in
the prospective profits had the con-
tract been completed; but if the
company was endeavoring. in good
faith, to comply with its part of the
contract but was prevented in doing
80 from no fault of its own, Harris
could not terminate the contract and
recover prospective profits, but he
night terminate it and his measure
If damages would be the value of
lis work already performed and
whatever damages he had sustained

)y the company, and the loss occas-
ioned, if any, on account of having
procured the necessary outfit and
appliances for carrying out the con-
ract, should be divided between the
PARTIES in the proportion that the
work already done bears to that yet
