Water of ManaWa
is Being Raised

Lake Manawa is filling up at the rate
OF one-half inch a day through the canal
which the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
Railway company has dug from Mosquito
creek TO the lake. The water has been
running ten days and the surface of the
lake ahas risen five inches.
AS it is the intention to raise the lake
four feet, ninety-siS days would be re-
quired II the creek alone were depended
upon, but considerable precipitation is
expected in February. With this and the
melting of the present snow, It is thought
that an even three months will be suf-
ficient to raise the water to the desired
level
TO get the water the company had to
dig a ditch 900 feet long from Mosquito
creek to the lake. Then, as the lake is
above the level OF the creek when the
latter is normal, a dam had TO be con-
structed across the creek below the end
of the ditch. The project is due to the
fact that the lake got so low that yacht
ing and motor boating became impossible.

FIRST SUIT UNDER new LAW
Reagan Safety Act Comes Into Play
in Cameron Action.
WIFE WANTS $4,000 DAMAGES
New Law Provides for Safeguard
ing of WOrLmen who Are
Employed at Danger
GUS Tasks.

Estranged from her husband at the
time Of his death and living with her own
blood relatives in Council Bluffs, Mrs.
Viola Cameron, wife or CiTford c. Cam
eron, the painter who fell lightweight
feet TO his death in the new county build
ing a month ago. started suit for $4,000
damages against Caldwell & Drake, gen.
eral contractors on the county building,
Wednesday, Fuchs, Son & Blind, the
painting subcontractors on the building
for whom Cameron was working when the
accident occurred, and Douglas county as
owner Of the building also are made de-
PENDANTS to the suit.
The suit is the first to be started un-
der the stringent new law known as
Reagan's safety law, which goes 70 un-
usual length in providing for the safe
guarding of workmen in dangerous em-
ployment and for recovering damages by
wives or children in cases of death.
Falls Eighty-EiEht Feet.
Cameron was killed November %, when
the scaffold on which he and Clarence
E. Winter. fellow painter, were work
ing broke. Winter saved himself by
grasping a joist after he had fallen about
twelve feet Cameron's life was crushed
out when he struck the foundation floor
eighty-two feet below.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cameron were married by
Rev. Charles w. Savidge in July, 1908,
when they were "a and is years old, re-
spectively. Their parents did not approve
the match and their married life was un-
happy. A separation was the culmina-
tion of frequent storms and Mrs. Cam
eron went to Council Bluffs to live with
relatives.
No divorce action was started by either
Cameron or his wife. Mrs. Cameron says
they were on friendly terms up to the
time OF Camerons death and had ne lived
reconciliation might have been ef-
fected.
Cameron and wife Separated.
At the time OF the fatal accIuent mem
bers OF CameronS family denied that he
was married and said he was paying at
tentions TO young woman who boarded
at the home Of Camerons father. ]. ].
Cameron. and who worked in j. ]. Cam
eron's office.
One OF the provisions OF the Reagan
safety law which will apply in the case
Is that when workmen are employed on
scaffolds more than thirty-two feet above
| solid foundation they must be protected
by special safety scaffold placed not
more than sixteen feet below the scaffold
on which the men are working. The en-
ployers must see that this is done, ac-
cording to the law.

BOOSTING THE INITIATIVE.

The legislature forces the people to
make use of the initiative and refer
endum. Through petty political bick-
erings the members waste valuable
time and then fail to accomplish
work that should be done. The re-
fusal of the senate to make a change
in the office of food and dairy COM
missioner is an instance. Bailey was
twice subjected to investigation by
the legislature. Each time he was
found guilty and the verdict was that
il he would not resign he should be
removed. The house voted to oust
him but in the senate there was
contingent that stood fast against the
reform. Because Governor West had
urged the removal of Bailey the Bow
erman forces took up his defense. 1t
was peanut politics pure and simple.
Yet a sufficient number of senators
lined up to block the move. Incl
uenlaIly IL is 10 the Sndlne OIL UNA
t;lla county that Senators Barrett and
Burgess were in this group. In acting
as they did in this case the senators
did not represent their constituents,
The people of this county do not ia
vor keeping in office a man who has
never been anything but a political
barnacle and who has allowed his Of
flee to be used to defeat the very pur-
poses for which it was established, as
Bailey has done.
Every time the legislature acts as
did the senate in this particular an
is made for use of the in
itiative.

as traffic increases and unnecessary
expenses are curailed."
The financial writer has the follow
ing to say about the Canadian recip-
rocity treaty:
The prompt passage of the recip-
rocity bill in the house at Washing
ton was encouraging. The concessions
in this measure upon either side are
not very great. but the movement is
q step in the right direction. What
the action of the senate will be it is
impossible to determine at this writ
ing should that body by any means
fail to act, there is strong proba-
bility that President Taft will call an
extra session. This. however, the sem
ate does not desire. and for political
reasons it is not considered good
tactics to precipitate a general re-
opening of the tariff question such as
might easily happen in event of a
special session"

GETTING POSTED.

man was in his shop to get lift on
the heel of his shoe. AS the work
was about half done the cobbler

thing did you want to ask about?"
"Nottings no more" was the reply
after a minute.

GET TOGETHER"

What promises to be one of the
most memorable meetings ever held
in the city will be conducted here to-
morrow. Members of six different or
ganizations will assemble at the Ore
gon theatre to listen to a program of
unusual interest. The organizations
Union, Commercial Club, Good Roads
association, Creditmen's association,
District Fair association and the
Roundup organization. The conven-
ton is being held at the instance of
the Farmers Union men who are
anxious that the public should learn
more regarding the aims and work
ings of that society.
Had such meetings as this been held
occasionally in the past there would
now be less misunderstanding and
prejudice among our people. Each
organization to be represented to-
morrow has worthy object in view.
In measure the work done by each
organization is for the benefit of all
the people of the county. The Pen
dleton commercial club is distinctly
an organization that works for the
advancement of all this county as well
"a for the welfare of the city of Pen
dleton. The work of the Farmers
Union is also very broad in scope and
the Good Roads association strives to
bring on improvements that are for
the benefit Of all classes. The dist
rlct fair is an institution for the bet
terment of everybody. 1t is an edu-
Gator for the farmer, the horticul-
turist, the stockman and also for the
merchant. The Creditmen's associ-
alton has as it's first object the pro-
lection Of its members against bad
accounts Certainly 1t is a worthy
object for when bad accounts are
upon good accounts. AS to the
Round-up-it needs no defense for
IT. has few critics and countless boost
ers.
If you are live one and take some
interest in the welfare of others as
well as in the welfare Of yourself then
be at the Oregon theatre tomorrow
for the Get Together" convention.

ADVENTURE.

Wherever earth is, there her stand
ards are;
Her seal is set upon the wide sea
gates;
She bids her reckless children fol-
low her
To where the end-or death, or
glory waits!
Far out at sea the long, slow rollers
run
Above her dead, yet turn them not
aside;
White bones lie bleaching in the des-
ert sun
To speak the tortured deaths her
sons have died.
Stern, unrelenting certain of demand
She is the keeper of the great
game, Chance;
She hides the strength of her steel
sinewed hand
Beneath the softness of the glove,
Romance.
There is no place for weaklings in
her train
She holds reward for those of
sterner stuff,
And only those-the stubborn, fight
ing strain.
The brave heart breed that will not
cry enough"

NOW VOTE 1T THROUGH.

The school board has selected plans
for the new high school and it may be
taken for granted that the board has
acted carefully and for the best in
terests of the city. The architect
chosen by the board formerly lived
here and therefore his work is well
known to local people. In the view
Of this paper the selection of Mr..
Troutman means that the city will
have an up-to-date and presentable
building and that is the sort desired.
The next step will be for the peo-
pie of the city to vote the bond issue
for the new high school. Evidently
a special election for this purpose will
be called shortly and there can be no
doubt as to the outcome of the vote.
Thus far no objection whatever has
been raised to constructing a new
high school and from appearances
there will be no objection. The need
of the improvement is too apparent.

1T LOOKS CHEERFUL.

In the view of one financial critic
there is nothing alarming in present
skies. In his weekly financial review
Henry Clews has the following to say
regarding the railroads and the rate
cases over which such a hubub was
made recently:
Concerning the railroads, a deci-
sion from the Interstate Commerce
commission has long been expected.
Something in the nature of a COM
promise is anticipated. since some Of
the Western rates are known to have
been unreasonably high. and many Of
the Eastern rates are admittedly very
lew. Upon the whole 1t is evident
that the railroads are not now very
fearful as to the result of this de-
cision; their confidence being shown
by their activity in financing and car
rying out projected improvements. 1t
fs known that some Of the railroads
have not earned their dividends in
the last two or three months, but bet
ter things are expected OF the future
