Census Bureau OF the census, de-
partment of com
merce, will be engaged during the next
few years, has been issued by Director
William ]. Harris. This circular is in
tended to inform the public regarding
the many and varied lines Of work
done by the census.
Now that the task of taking the
thirteenth decennial census and pub
fishing its results is practically at an
end, the bureau is prepared to turn
to its numerous "intercensal" lines OF
work
Director Harris states that it is his
purpose to reorganize the work of the
bureau so as to concentrate the force
on the main census investigations with
view to securing publication of the
statistics more rapidly than hereto
fore. Every effort will be made to
prevent the work of the bureau from
becoming congested. So far as pos
sible, the work on the investigations in
hand will be completed before new In
quiries are taken up.
The principal reports which the cen
sus bureau expects to issue during the
next two or three years are the gen
eral reports on electrical industries for
the year 1912; a report on wealth, debt
and taxation of 1913; the census OF
/ manufactures for 1914; the census OF
agriculture for 1915; religious bodies
1916, and water transportation, 1916
| In addition there will be issued the
annual reports on mortality statistics
birth statistics, financial statistics o.
cities, cotton statistics cotton ginned
cotton consumed, cotton spindles ant
cotton stocks), and tobacco statistics
The special reports to be issued viii
include studies on racial classes o
population; population of metropolitan
districts; Indian population; negr'
population; supplementary occupation
statistics, embracing occupations o
adults and children, occupations Of
women, occupations of children, occu
patiOns of the foreign born and unem

Soules q Butler Get A
$1,000 Verdict Against +
N.P.~~~0 Other Damage Suits

This has been a slow week for the
court grind, nearly three days being
consumed in the damage suit of
Soules & Butler against the Northern
Pacific Ry. Co.
The suit Of Joseph Goetz against
Kasper Zauner, ST., and wife, was
finished last Friday and Satur-
day and a verdict for plaintiff in the
sum of $72O was secured. This ase
had been threshed out in district court
twice before. The first time Goetz
brought action against Mr.. Prindle of
| Ohio to recover for blowing on his
land. The jury disagreed and the
second time the jury decided that Mr..
Prindle never authorized the blowing,
the evidence going to show that Eau
ner was the man liable for the work.
The third trial results in Mr.. Goetz's
favor and he is happy: T. F. Murtha
was counsel for plaintiff and j. K.
hurry Of Mott appeared for defend
ant.
An interesting suit from a lawyers
standpoint was the action Of Ed.
Northrop against the Farmers &
Merchants State bank of Taylor to re-
cover some 1854. The charge was
conversion of grain upon which plain
tiff claimed a lien. The man had
worked for a farmer at Taylor and
the claim of Indebtedness was not
disputed. Mr.. Northrop, it was
shown, worked mostly as an expert
engineer, and less than 10 days was
consumed in putting in the crop on
which his lien was filed. He broke
land for the farmer and threshed at
different places in the fall, hence the
defense argued that separate liens
were needed, or in other words, that
the grain was liable only for the days
consumed in putting it in. This point
has never been to the supreme court.
The plaintiff also claimed that the
bill Of sale which the bank introduced
was dated back in an attempt to bring
it in ahead of the lien. The fact that
it was never recorded gave grounds
for this belief. The jury gave Mr..
Northrop his full claim. Attorney c.
H. Starke appeared for MI. Northrop
and Attorney H. ]. Blanchard for the
bank.
The suit of Soules & Butler against
the Northern Pacific Ry. Co. for the
recovery of $1,000 damages as a re-
suit of the flood on the 2Sth of July,
was tried on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. Every inch Of the ground
was carefully fought on both sides.
T. F. Murtha and T. H. Pugh repre-
sented the plaintiffs and E. T. Conmy,
of Watson, Young & Conmy, of Far
go, appearing for the railway COM
pany.
AS many of our readers will recall,
Dickinson had a flood the morning of
July 28th, last, some 2 inches of rain
failing in the morning before day
break and nearly as much more fall
ling during the forenoon. The a #.
culvert under the N. P track below
Second Ave. East. could not carry off
the. surface water which backed up
and flooded the Soules & Butler hard
ware store, also the Easements of the
st. Charles, Masonic temple and
other places in the city, resulting in
many thousand dollars damage.
1t was shown in the trial that the
N. P. graded it's road through a
natural channel for drainage and
thereby INSTRUCTED the outlet for sur
face water from ITO acres of land.

company put in a 2 #. culvert, later
replacing this with a A #. culvert. It
was also shown that at two or three
times previous to this year the sur
face water had backed up and flooded
Soules & Butler.
The company contended that the
storm Of 1914 was extraordinary and
therefore under the general law they
were not liable. Judge Crawford was
asked to dismiss the action on this
ground but denied the motion. A
great many witnesses were called.
Judge Crawford told the jurors
that if they found that the railway
company had used proper are in
guarding against a flood as a prudent
business man would be expected to
do, then the law would not hold the
N. P. responsible; on the other hand,
if it was found that the company had
been negligent in providing a culvert
Of sufficient size to carry off water,

It will be remembered that the N.
P. put in a 2 #. culvert in the hollow
east Of the city originally and after
la considerable number of residences
had been damaged by high water two
or three years ago, a IL #. culvert
was put in. In this particular part
of the city several damage claims,
amounting to about $1,000, were paid.
To those not versed in the law, it
looks as though the company should
have put in at least another 4 #. Gull

Of a few years ago.
The jury, with C. C. Hill as fore

Another suit was started Friday

Peter Buchli of Hebron is asking

Chicago. In reality the N. P. is in
no way liable, but on account of some
federal ruling the suit comes here.
