LEGAL CAUSE OF ACCIDENT.
Interesting Point Showing How Com
pany Might Be Liable.

Although an ore car at a mine jump
ed the track on account of defects in
it and the track, the mining company
is not liable for injury sustained by an
employee in assisting in replacing the
car, through carelessness or a c.
employe, since such carelessness, and
not the defects, must be deemed to
have been the direct cause of the acct
dent. In deciding this point in the
case of ISABELLA VS.. Newport Mining Co,
Isl Northwestern Reporter $50. the
Michigan Supreme Court qualities its
decision by holding that, if the co-em-
ployee had been habitually incompe-
tent and the company was chargeable
with notice of the fact. liability against
the company could be predicated on its
negligence in retaining an employe
whose service imperiled other work
men.

THE AMERICAN DOLLAR.
Its Prestige in South America Told by
New York Banker.

The American dollar since the De-
ginning Of the war has been growing
rapidly in favor and now leads the
money Of other nations, especially in
South America, according to William
s. Kles of the foreign banking depart
ment Of the National City Bank, in an
exporting lecture at the west side

Eighth avenue and Fifty-seventh.
street. Among other things Mr.. Kies
said:
in comparison with the monetary
units of value of other countries the
dollar has been for some weeks and is
now at premium. The pound Is wortt
less dollars, and a dollar Will buy more
marks, francs, rubles or Ira than ever
before in our history, This, of course.
means simply that the balance of trade
Is very largely in our favor.
Branches of American banks oper-
ating in foreign countries will be of
material assistance in making a per-
manent market for dollar exchange
The fact that the pound Is the common
denomination of values the world over
has been Of very great commercial
advantage to England. Our people
who have sold goods to South America
have heretofore been obliged to accept
payment in pound sterling, and the
oretically at leatst, have run the ris:.
of two exchanges Of money.
when the exchange market Is a..
tive and fluctuations are in order the
American exporter has been obliged .
pay fairly heavy tribute to the Eng
fish bankers.
with the branch of an American
bank in foreign country in a position
to draw on the parent bank for dollars
at all times and with the parent bank
being permitted to draw on the branch
for payments to be made in local cur
rency, there will always be dollars Tor
sale in the local market in which the
branch Is located, and the value of the
dollar will become known and re-
spected."

FROM OCEAN LINER
TO SNAKE RIVER BOAT
FIRST CONSIGNMENT FREIGHT
FROM NEW YORK TO LEW
lSTON BY WATER.

The benefits to be derived by Lew
iston through the Cello canal and
locks were demonstrated the other day
by the transfer Of the first consign-
ment of freight from big ship at
Portland to a river boat for Lewiston,
The advantages In rates are pointed
out by the Lewiston Tribune as fol-
lows:
Lewiston freight direct from the
hold of the big ocean liner, Santa Ce-
celia, to the deck of the steamer J. NJ
Teal will be made on Thursday, May
6, upon the arrival of the river steamer
with the Lewiston delegation from the
Cello celebrations. As the steamer
Teal enters the Portland harbor she
will be brought alongside the big ship
of the Atlantic Pacific Steamship COM
pany and the transfer will be made in
the presence Of the Lewiston delega-
ton. The Santa Cecilia will reach
Portland May 5.
From Ship to River Boat.
This is the announcement made last
night by j. M. Johnston, of the steam
ship company, who Is in the city to
participate in the river celebration and
join with the Lewiston delegation ON
the trip to Portland on the steamer
Teal Mr., Johnston directed the ar
rangements for the direct 'ransfer of
the Lewiston shipment from the re-
celia to the Teal in order that the ex
cursionists might be more forciby i'm
pressed with what the open river to
the sea actually means. He stated last
evening that the Santa Cecilia will be
open for inspection by members of the
excursion party and any members of
the party desiring to make the inspec-
ton are asked to communicate with
him on the trip to Portland The Santa
Cecilia Is a ship Of 10000 tons net ton
mage, Is over 400 feet in length and Is
we'll equipped for the ocean to ocean
service.
The shipment to be transferred Is
consigned to the Erb Hardware com.
pany of Lewiston, and will be the first
all-water shipment received here. Mr.
Johnston has compiled a very interest
ing statement of the various freight
rates applying to this shipment and
the saving effected by the all-wate-
route is very much in favor of the
boats,
Advantage of Water Rates.
This particular shipment had Its
origin in Chicago and was shipped by
rail from Chicago to New York The
charge for this shipment was GS cents
per hundred. The rate from New
York to Portland on the steamer Santa
Cecilia Is So cents and the open river
rate from Portland to Lewiston is so
cents per hundred, making total
charge from Chicago to Lewiston via
New York of S203. These charges
would also show the water rate from
New York to Lewiston to be $1.35 per
hundred.
The all-rail rate from Chicago to
Lewiston is $251 which would show

A Promising Group on the North Side

NJ. L. HOLDEN was in the city this
week, coming over from the Rawhide
group which he has been engaged ir
developing for the last four years. The
property is located across the Nine
Mile divide and east of Dobson gulch
1t is in a most favorable location, be-
ing presumably on one Of series o.
veins that cross the divide parallel t.
the famous Interstate Callahan. \
crosscut has been run distance o
27O feet from Missoula gulch which
cuts the Rawhide vein at a depth o.
about 200 feet The vein at that point
Mr.. HOLDEN says is II feet wide, con
sisting largely of iron and carbonate
which has the appearance of carrying
considerable values. 1t is altogethe'
a promising showing, and 1t is be
lieved that drifting will soon expose
a body of commercial ore.
