Trouble Under Old Law.
He then told of the havoc caused
by the old liability law. When this
was IN force, an injured employe
could sue his employer for damages,
providing he could prove the employ
err guilty of criminal negligence. This
was not difficult in many cases and
soon pack of tricky lawyers sprang
up who were experts at the game of
getting big damages for small iniur-
les.
The thing grew so burdensome that
the time of big corporation employers
was entirely taken up with court pro-
ceedings. 1.-The whole system" de-
clared Mr. Ross. was working to al
ienate the employer and the employee"
On the other hand, many men were
injured who were never compensated
for the loss of time simply because the

the wrong in this act and repealed it.

Farmers of Rock Island county and

of the extreme dryness of the earth.
The amount of moisture for this

a few days ago did but little good.
The snow melted so rapidly that the

Tells Story Of
Fargo and Saloons

On November 10 last the Tidings
briefly mentioned a decision in a
liquor case by Judge Pollock of the
district court of North Dakota, also
referring to incidents in connection
with the election of Judge Pollock
as prosecuting attorney in 1884, A
few days ago Mr.. Talcott received a
letter from the Judge in which he re-
counted the incident and others
growing out of the fight, and tells
something of the career of Fargo.
That city was then of 5000 in
habitants, with so saloons. 1t now
has $4,000 inhabitants and is de-
scribed by him as The biggest little
modern city in the United States
without saloons, blind pigs, bawdy
houses or gambling dens. The driv.
ing out of the saloons count the
largest factor in our progress"

Will Improve
Jones Ranch

Several years ago +. NJ. Lewis and
brother of Honolulu; H. l., purchased
the Jones ranch on Emigrant creek.
Charles Homes has been managing
the property for them since the pur-
chase. Mr.. Lewis is now in the city
making arrangements for extensive
improvements Of their holdings.
Plans have been made with NJ. M.
Tucker, who owns the tract between
the Jones ranch and the Oregon-Cali-
fornia wagon road, whereby a road
will be constructed down Hill creek
from the county road to Immigrant
creek and then up the creek for about
a mile. This move is made necessary
for the reason that the property own
ers on immigrant creek have never,
as yet, been able to get county road
located along Immigrant Falls road,
The Lewis brothers have one of the
best tracts in the Rogue River Valley
and in a few years it will be one OF
the SHOW ranches" of the valley.

Portland Market.

Receipts for the past week have
been: Cattle 1884, calves A, hogs
5,7O2, sheep $3.50.
A big week on the cattle market,
particularly the first half. Offerings
of butcher cattle, COWS, heifers, etc,
were extremely short of trade needs
compared with steer consignments.
The best quality granted bullocks
sold at $3.50 to 5, and cows $6.7j
to 81, Bull trade was slow, but
calves ruled firm. After Monday re-
ceipts were not as heavy as expected.
Hogs were the real sensation of
the period as they opened on Monday
at $S.65 and got to $S.75 by We'd
nesday in the face of deluge. The
bulge was not spasm either, as it
maintained a firm front right up to
the close of the week. Buying of
swine was spirited and competition
among the killers to get stock of any
weight so long as it had a smooth
finish produced a real live market.
Lamb transactions carried off the
honors in the sheep house Several
lots of medium grade ewes went over
the scales, and bunch of yearlings
at Sc comprised the bulk of mutton
sales. The best grain lambs sold at
1915, the first shorn stock of the
season arriving this week.
