New liability Laws.

President Rooseyelt's proposal In his
last jamestown speech that workmen
should receive certain definite and
limited compensation for all accidents
IN industry" Is broader than any law
on the statute books In this country.
The president thinks there should be
no need Of lawsuit to recover damages
and that there Is no sound distinction
between accidents caused by negll-
gence and those which are unavoidable
Heretofore IL has been possible In
many states for the employer to plead
the negligence OF fellow employee Of
the injured man as a defense in dam
age suits.
The new law In Pennsylvania defines
very clearly the feature of "contribu-
tory negligence" 1t regards every
person In control OF work or machinery
a. the agent Of the employer and any
act Of q fellow servant" done under
orders given by an employer or his
agents as an act Of the employer, This
law has been classed as the most dras-
tic Of the kind ever proposed in the
United States. Nevertheless 1t implies
that there may be "contrlbutOry negli,
senoe," for 1t specifies instances where
negligence may not be pleaded by the
employer, leaving 1t to be assumed that
in cases not specified there may be
negligence ON the part of the employee
which frees the employer from llabill.
". Where the provisions are plainly
stated in statutes both employers and
employees will be at pains to guard
against accidents.

yesterday one mile this side of Paha,
A small brook, which flows along the
railroad track, had washed small
ditch about four feet wide, across the
track. When the locomotive struck
this place rail broke, the baggage
car derailed and when the smoker
reached the break the broken end
pierced the full length of rail
through the car. One man was killed
and one slightly wounded. The killed

JONES STANDS
FOR OPEN RIVER
In Letter to Representative Henderson,
Congressman Urges That State Make
Sufficient Appropriation.

Hon. Wesley L. Jones, in a letter to
Representatives Henderson, says that
nothing will do so much to hasten. the
work on the Columbia river as an ap-
preparation by the state. showing the
interest and confidence of the people
in this great work. He also recites
facts as they are in Washington, D. c.,
so that they may be considered here in
connection with any Legislation that
may be passed for the furtherance of
the open river. In this letter he says
in part:
81 am heartily in favor of the state
appropriating large amount of money
for the open river project, and think
that such action will do more to hasten
the opening of the Columbia river than
anything else. In the present river
and harbor bill we will appropriate suf-
ficent money to complete the proposed
work at the mouth of the Columbia and
that will leave US in shape to put in a
large amount at The Dalles in the next
appropriation bill. In the present bill
we will have $500, 900 for that work
and if the state manifests its interest
in the matter of appropriating money
for improving the river above The
Dalles, l feel that in the next river and
harbor bill we can place sufficient
amount in cash and in continuing con-
tracts to complete the work at this
point and the policy on the part of the
government very likely will be to do
only this and not to make any extensive
appropriations for the work above. An
appropriation on the part of the state
for opening the Upper Columbia would
hasten the completion of the work at
the Dalles, as well as have this navi-
CATION in good shape by the time the
canal is completed.
I'm the present river and harbor bill
l have also been able to secure an ap-
preparation of $40, 900 for the improve
ment of the river above The Dalles, it
being the idea that this sum of money
will prepare a government plant to
carry on this work and also furnish
funds to run the plant possibly for
year.
81 have also had inserted in this bill
a provision authorizing the Secretary
of War to use any moneys that may be
placed at his disposal by the state of
Oregon or the state of Washington,
and in connection Herewith hei. is
authorized to use the government plant
in removing the distractions in the CO.
lumbia and Snake Rivers.
MY idea for having the above
clause inserted was this: That it
would save the state from the necessity
of going to very great expense in the
handling of any funds it might see fit
to appropriate. Very careful surveys.
have been made by the engineers of
the war department and full report
has been submitted. This report and
survey could simply be accepted by the
state as the basis of improvement, and
if the money appropriated were placed
at the disposal of the War department
the expensive machinery, the COM
missions to engineers, etc, on the part
of the state could be avoided and all its
money used to the very best advant-
age. Walla Walla Bulletin.

vessel to be proportionate to the
cube foot of power the increase of
speed by the new method will be %
per cent.
Another gain can be made by short
ening the route. 1t is we'll known that
the actual or loxodromic path Of ves-
sci is appreciably longer than the
shortest or orthodromic along the great
circle. This Is due to the comparative
ly imperfect steering by compass. On
the average. the actual path Is about
10 per cent longer. Now, practically
all this can be gained by steering with
stationary electrical waves instead
Of by compass. Incidentally, by this
means some motive power will be
saved. To sum up, a. gain Of about
rs per cent is perfectly feasible by the
use of these two improvements. A
vessel like the Lusitania will thus
need, instead Of four days and twenty
hours, only three days and three hours
to cross.

perform the thanksgiving services. On
the same day special tables will be
prepared at Tagaotien and Chaios-

HISTORY OF SUBMARINES.
Rapid Strides In Twenty One Years OF
Experiment and Construction.

Experiment dno NoHoHuSNS"
The history of the submarine is thus
outlined in the London Spectator: The
first steps toward the practical adop-
ton Of submarines in modern fleets
were taken in France. The Gymnote
of 1886 was the earliest example. She
was about $50 feet long and weighed
about thirty tons. When submerged
she had a speed Of six knots, and at
the surface rather more. She was pro-
pelled by electric motors, current for
which was supplied by storage batter
les. This vessel was followed by the
Gustave Zede in 1891, vessel 14S feet
in length, weighing 265 tons, and haV-
ing a speed Of eleven knots under wa
ter. Many difficulties arose on the
trials, and several years were occupied
In overcoming them. Ultimately sue
cess was attained, and the experience
gained helped forward the rapid devel-
opment of submarines in the French
navy that followed upon the Fashoda
incident in 1898. France possessed
two completed submarines at that time
and another was building. On March
81. 1907, the completed submarines Of
that country numbered forty, and
there were fifty-nine others building.
The largest vessels yet laid down In
France are about 200 feet long, weigh
$50 tons, have engines Of 1700-horse-
power, are to attain a speed Of fifteen
knots, carry six or seven torpedo tubes
and will cost 100000 each.
simultaneously with the movement
I'm France, attention was directed In the
United States to the performances OF
submarines built by Holland. In 1896
after twenty-one years continuous
work-the Plunger was laid down from
Hollands designs under a contract
with the navy department. She was
IS feet long, weighed 165 tons and was
propelled at the surface by steam en-
gines. oil fuel being used in the boil
ers. This mode of propulsion proved
unsatisfactory. Another Holland sub
marine, subsequently purchased for
the United States navy was fitted with
gasoline engine for surface propul-
sion, and electric motors for use when
submerged This boat was about hfty-
four feet long and weighed seventy-hve
tons. She proved successful on trial.
In March last the United States navy
possessed eight completed vessels OF
the Holland type, while four more were
building. A rival type has been intro
duced in the United States by Mr.. ST.
mon Lake and has been adopted In
other navies to a limited extent. Com
parative trials have been made recent
ly between representative vessels OF
the two types, and it has been decid-
ed to expend the special grant made
by congress on more Holland subma-
rines.
