Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Oct. 13.-In September
the state railroad commission re-
ceived an informal complaint from
the Garfield Coal Mining company,
asking for spur on the line of the
Rio Grande Junction railroad one
and-half miles west of Palisade,
Colo.
Numerous attempts had been
made by the petitioner to secure this
spur directly from the railroad COM
pany, but without success. The mat
ter was laid before the commission,
and. to save the parties the expense
of formal hearing. it took 1t up in

formally with the Denver G. Rio
Grande railroad company, with the
result that it received a letter from
the railroad company Saturday stat
ing that notwithstanding the fact
that several good reasons exist why
the trackage requested should not
be installed, including expense of op-
GRAFTON, danger to main line opera
tion, lack of sufficient business to
justify construction, maintenance
and operation and lack of sufficient

OLD CUSTOM IS DROPPED

London, Oct. 13-Another instance
OF old customs giving way to new is
found this week in Lloyds Underwrit-
ers room, where the famous old
Loss Book, which almost since
the inception of the present head
quarters, only contained records or
losses OF vessels, their capture. seiZ-
ure or other forms of detention, is
now to become casualty book which
VIII have posted within its pages
minor casualties. such as damages to
ships equipment, collisions or any
happening that might cause delays,
Tor which the underwriters reinsure.
Another Improvement will be the
posing of home and foreign arrivals
on typewriter sheets instead of the
present laborious method of enter
ing them by hand In two large vol
umes. Many of the older. more con-
servative members express regret at
these changes, but the younger gen.
GRAFTON welcome them as facilitating
their work.
The taking over of the telephone
system by the British postoffice de-
partment has not been welcomed by
other public utilities already under
'"c VI vi tht poStUldhltT-Reuerul
and when that official returns from
his visit to Canada. he will find a
feud in full swing between the Off
cials of the telegraph and telephone
divisions. The officials of the two
departments have been at logger
heads for some time and the lack of
teamwork has been made painfully
apparent by the adoption of separate
codes for the two systems, although
the same clerks in most of the Of
fiees do both the telegraph and tele-
phone work.
Practically ever since the tele-
graph was invented code names have
been used to designate towns with
long names and recently the tele-
phone department decided to adopt
the same system, but instead of du-
plicating the telegraph code it In
vented one of its own. Now most of
the towns have different code names
and when the system comes use on
October 80 subscribers will be pre-
pared for trouble. Some of the sub
scribers already have protested and
pointed out that the use OF a little
common sense and cordiality between
the two departments would have Sc
cured uniformity.

MORAVIA WINS BALL GAME
Errors We're Plentiful But Game
Plsases Crowd OF Fans

The Moravia baseball nine took
a second game from the Honners
Ferry junior baseball nine last Sun
day on the Eagle park grounds
winning by score of IL to 6.
The game was umpired by Frazier.
Until the seventh inning the
game was anyhody's. Then
succession of hits and costly errors
allowed Moravia to run in FIVE
scores and Boomers Ferry was un-
able to overcome the lead and al
though Moravia was in several
tight places the team managed to
pull out safely.
Peterson for Moravia pitched
good ball as did Heathershaw for
the local nine but Moravia gave its
pitcher better support in the in
field. The Moravia boys also
managed to connect with the
sphere for hits oftener than did the
local nine.

LAW PROTECTS TAXPAYERS
Property Can Be Held But For One
Assessment Uuder Idaho Law

In an article published in the
Herald last week in which a dis
cussion was carried on relative to
questions pertaining to the drainage
of the Kootenai valley the state
ment was made that some taxpayers
of the valley hesitated to endorse
the project through fear that if it
were a failure in the end and any
part of the land embraced in the
drainage district were allowed to be
held for taxes the bonding COM
panies would hold other property as
security for unpaid bonds and
interest.
A close reading of the drainage
laws of the state of Idaho shows
that such a proceeding would be
impossible for the law provides that
each tract and subdivision is as
sessed separate and apart from
every other tract. Any man can
pay up in full on his lot or tract.
and thenceforth be free and clear
of the remainder of the bonded
obligations. There is no way for
any one or several owners of land
in any part of the Kootenai valley
to be held for obligations further
than the assessment placed upon
their land. The above opinion is
acquiesced in by several attorneys.

STRUCK BY A
BLOWN STUMP
Perry Names Victim Of Peculiar
Accident Yesterday Skull Ia
Fractured
STUMP GLANCED OFF TREE
Injured Man In Critical Condition at
Local Hospital

Perry Maness, homesteader of
the Leonia district is lying at the
Boomers Ferry hospital in critical
condition suffering from fractured
skull, the injury having been
inflicted yesterday afternoon by a
piece of stump dynamited from
the roadway on which Maness was
working.
Maness was employed by the
county to work on the new road
being constructed between Leonia
and the Yakt river connecting
with the Montana automobile road
at the state line. Yesterday after
noon the crew were blowing out
stumps i'll the roadway. When
the stump which hit Maness was
about to be blown he took up a
position of safety, as he supposed,
behind nearby tree. The stump
by which he was struck glanced off
another tree near him and struck
him on top of his head inflicting a
scalp wound some four inches long
and causing a deep dent in his
skull. Maness was brought to the
Boomers Ferry hospital this morn
ing. He has been unconscious
since the accident.
Perry Maness is a brother of
John Maness of this city. He is a
married man and the father of
five children.
