On the Rail


The executive committee of the
American Railway association is pre-
pairing to oppose the passage of the
full crew. bill and of the bill Great
ing a bureau for the inspection OF
railroad locomotives. Both bills are
pending before congress and it is
stated that the full crew bill, as it is
called, would entail a useless expen-
diture of approximately $20,O00,000 a
year. Whatever action is taken will
be by the executive committee of the
association, which held several SEES
sions here this week to consider pend
ing national legislation affecting rail
roads. The full crew bill, which was
introduced by Senator Borah of Idaho,
provides, in brief, that the railroads
shall employ an extra brakeman for
every train of freight cars in excess
of twenty-five. The present maxi
mum crew consists Of engineer and
fireman, a conductor and a forward
and rear brakeman. 1t rs asserted
that the new requirement would be a
detriment to the service instead of a
benefit.
The executive committee has decid
ed to gather all the necessary data
relative to the subject for presenta-
tiCn to the proper committee when
the bill comes up for consideration. 1t
is understood that the measure will
have the support of the railway train
mems order, unless the railroad man
agements succeed in convincing them
that to needlessly add such a vast
sum to the cost of operating American
railroads would make it more difficult
for the labor organizations to procure
increased wage schedules.
The bill providing for a bureau of
boiler inspection is opposed on several
grounds. In the first place it is stat
ed that the explosion of a railroad To-
connective boiler is exceedingly rare
Inspection, it is claimed would not
disclose any weakness which would
cause explosions. as their cause is al
most without exception low water TO
give the members of a bureau auto,
cratic power, as is proposed, to stop
locomotive at any time, order it out
of service and taken down for inspec-
ton, would be to crippl" the service
UNNECESSARILY.
THE members of the executive
committee" said one of the members
yesterday, do not believe congress
desires to pass useless or vicious leg.

bill will necessitate a capitalization

place this useless burden upon the

twenty or thirty girls and boys and
their school principal, Mr.. Daniels.
They took me up to the school house
singing America, waving their flags all
the way. Happy and hearty they were
as they came into the vestibule of
their schooIhouse, stamping their
feet, brushing the snow off themselves
and me, and caring for my overcoat
and hat Then they went to their seats
and proceeded with their lessons.
They had them well learned, too. and
we're eager to recite. Before Il
talked to them about the flag, at one
o'clock, they entertained me with O.
bit Of patriotic program of songs and
drill and the flag salute. It was all
beautiful, and meant a great deal. One
of the young lady teachers told me she
was only seventeen years oId,-that
when she was fifteen she went to Su-
periOr, got a place to work for her
board and spent two years studying in

1t is the cultivation of the soil that

There is one blessed good thing
about both Mason and DrummOnd
that l can not quite say for Cable,
even though it is surrounded by new
farms. Those farmers voted license
by a majority of one, and there are
salOOns-tWo of them. But neither
Mason nor Drummond ever had a sa-
loon. The business men there know
that their mills are more profitable
when managed by sober men than
such as frequent saloons; and so thew
do not mean to employ men who would
vote for license. The town line is
only half mile from Mason. Over
on the other side the people vote for
license, and a saloon has been set up

done in spite of the wishes of the peo-
pie Of the busy, Industrious little vii
Iage.

Orders Hack Restored.


Judge De Bolt rendered an opinion
yesterday, giving judgment for the
plaintiff in the replevin case OF Jennie
c. Bell against Katsuki Nasal for the
restitution of hack No. 81 or the alter
native Of the payment Of $3.50 and costs
of the action.
Mrs. Bell was the owner Of the hack
and employed a japanese named Kont-
shi to drive it for her, allowing as
compensation one-third of the proceeds.
In June, 1908, the Japanese and the
hack disappeared. and it was not until
Nav. 1908. that she discovered the hack
was in possession Of the defendant Ma
sal.
The contention Of the counsel for the
defendant that Mss. Bell was estopped
from claiming ownership in the prop
ertv Is disposed Of by Judge De Bolt
a 5 being without merit. He holds that
the sale of tie hack was eonsummafea
without the knowledge Of Mrs. Ben
and that a. a consequence none OF her
property rights IN the vehicle were
ieopardized. In this connection Judge
De Bolt laws down the following dictum
on the theory Of legal ownership:
O1E " no Teilec Il ron bdAN bS0t1>--

deals with such Possessor al his peru
Such purchaser, only acquires such tItIe

The Aberdeen News declines to ac-
cept the figures of Doane Robinson,
state statistician, for the correct
population of the leading cities Of the
state based on the school population.
The special reason for the News OBJ
lection is because the population of
Aberdeen suffers and brings it to
q more stable basis than the inflated
figures indicate. The News does not
think that approximate figures can
be secured with the school census as
a basis, but readily accepts the state
ment made by a directory firm, which
pushed the population up for that
town. Aberdeen has a very large float
ing population and naturally this kind
of a population does not help out
the school census. Aberdeen is grow
ing without any question, and SO are
some other cities in the state, and
the city on the north should not take
the matter to heart so.
