gold i'm Adrian Irrigation Case.

1t was only recently that the SUI
preme court described a promoter as
one who starts something and grabs
what he can as it passes by. The
supreme court now says the promo
ter is looked upon as a trustee by
the courts, or should be, and any at
tempt to extOrt from stockholders
more than reasonable profit for
their efforts is not sanctioned
In the case of H. w. Mangold, ap-
pellant, VS.. Adrian Irrigation COM
pany, respondent, an appeal from
Spokane county, judgment is affirm
ed. Mangold attempted to collect
damages for the failure of the COM
pany to complete a deal whereby the
corporation would have purchased
for $50 an acre about 5000 acres of
Douglas county land that Mangold
and associates, who promoted the
company, bought for about $500 an
acre. The stockholders held off I'M
til the promoters option expired and
bought the land at their own price.
The court refuses to hold the stock
holders to Mangold's demands. The
land in question was owned in part
by Messrs. Loving and Mcmahon of
this city.

DISCUSSED SQU|[[CAUCK WATER RIGHT

was submitted to vote and result
ed in a tie.
To Improve Okanogan Avenue.
A resolution was introduced pro-
viding for the improvement of Okla
hogan avenue. The improvement
contemplates six-foot cement side
walks with curb, graded street and
a 20-foot strip in the center gravel
led. The roadway will be left low
in order that If at a future day it
is desired to pave or put on a heav-
! ier macadam, it can be done without
raising the grade of the street. The
plan is to have the cOuncilmanic red
tape finished up so that improvement
work can be started early in the
spring. 1t would be impossible to
do the work this fall anyway, owing
to the fact that the sewer work will
be late. This is the second time the
improvement of Okanogan avenue
has been before the council. The
first bid was thrown out on the
ground that it was excessive.

WIFE RUNS FOR AID ONLY TO

Hiqhwayman Takes $40 from Till on
Buena Vista Street and Dis
appears in the Dark
ness

A masked robber armed with an
automatic pistol, entered the grocery
store conducted by c. j. Peters at
965 Buena Vista street at $50 O'Clock
last night, forced MIR. and Mrs. Peters
TO throw up their hands, then took
$40 from the cash drawer. The in
truder then warned the victims against
making an outcry and made his escape
without interference.
Peters and his wife were eating
their evening meal in the rear part
of the store. which they occupy as
living rooms. Peters heard the front
door slam and emerged from the din
ing room in time to see dark form
glide behind the counter. Peters sew
eral times before had tricks played
on him by boys In the neighborhooo'
and, thinking it one of their pranks,
went forward to joke with the masked
man.
rsThrow up your hands," commanded
the masked stranger with an oath.
Peters responded in a joking manner.
The masked one replied that he was IN
earnest and would shoot if the store
keeper refused to raise his hands.
Wife Runs for Aid
After seeing that the man was des-
perate and was not one of the lads IN
the nefghborhood Peters threw up his
hands and was backed to the cash
drawers. At this moment Mrs. Peters,
who had not finished her supper, heard
the rough language used by the rop-
her and started into the store.
When she saw her husband with his
hands in the air she knew something
was wrong and ran back into the
kitchen with the intention of getting
out the back door and notifying the
police. She heard a slight noise IN the
hack yard, and, fearing that there
was another robber hidden there, ran
into the store and held up her hands.
By this time the intruder, after sew
erai unsuccessful attempts to open the
cash drawer, commanded Peters to
open the money box, and after taking
out $40 told the frightened storekeeper
that he would leave at least $l.oO IN
small change. -,
After placing the money in his
pocket the robber backed toward the
front door, ordered the couple to keep
Quiet for five minutes under penalty
of being shot, then ran south in the
direction of the Broadway tunnel.
Chase Proved Futile
Peters ran after the man, but saw
that the robber had great gain on
him and after a chase of a half block
returned to the store and notified the
police.
Chief Dishman drove his automobile
to the scene and searched the neigh
borhood, and Capt. Lehnhausen of the
east side station, with several pa
trolmen, arrived and began investiga-
tions.
According to Peters, the robber
wore a black mask which covered his
face, was attired in a blue coat, a
dark pair of trousers and wore a
SLOUGH black hat. The man was de-
scribed as being feet z inches in
height and weighs about 140 pounds.

BERKELEY, Jan. 21.-Prof. w. S.
Thomas, assistant professor of educa-
ton, University of California, delivered
the Introductory lecture to the public
school teachers and a number of stu
dents of the university in California
hall.
Prof. Thomas comparisons between
the schools of California and other
states of the Union showed California
to be far in advance of the others, even
Massachusetts, where intellect is placed
on an apparentaly higher plane than
anywhere else in the United states.
Prof. Thomas said the criterion of
the high school was efficiency, and that
in this respect California was ahead of
all other states, adding that 95 per cent
of high school teachers in this state
were college trained, while in Massa-
chusetts the average of college trained
teachers was about 20 per cent.
