ACCIDENTS IN THE STREETS

quarter century ago, invaded the
city streets it brought a great in
crease in the number Of street acci-
dents. People didn't know how to
accommodate them selves to the new
and fast moving vehicle: horses
didn't have horse sense about it; men
and animals had to learn, and they
did, with the result that the proper
tion Of trolley accidents soon
dropped, and that class of mishaps
is now rare as compared with the
early years of trolley transportation.
In the quarter century before the
trolley, there was precisely sim
liar experience with cable cars,
which were the deadliest means Of
intramural transport ever invented.
The pedestrial public learned at last
to avoid these new monsters Of the
, highway.
Then came the automobile, and
there was repetition of this same
experience. Traffic accidents were
very numerous. They are, on the
whole, growing much less numerous
In proportion to the numbers of au-
tomobiles; largely because the
pedestrial community is learning to
take care Of Itself.
| But there is yet too much care
lessness on the part of people who
must accommodate themselves tc
the fact that fast vehicles have some
rights in the highways. In April
it is stated, an average Of two people
day were killed n New Yorl
streets; and in four-fifths of the
cases it is reported that the victims
own contributory negligence wa
responsible. This proves that walk
ers are not yet using due diligence
Perhaps it is true that some Of then
imagine they have rather NOR
rights than they really are entitled
to exercise. They have no business
deliberately imposing the whole bur
den of care and precaution upon tn
drivers Of vehicles. The thing is en-
titled to be divided.
Everybody knows tina: there is
certain class Of people who deliber
: ately, and with something !ik
malice, ignore the vehicles who
crossing streets and the like, know
ing that the drivers will manage t
miss" them, even though it be dit
ficult. These people get a curiou
3 satisfaction out Of the fact that the
can make trouble for drivers in thi
fashion. An inevitable result is tina
: drivers become disgusted with thi
Q sort Of dog-in-the-manger walker
and are tempted to give one of thel
n at least "good scare" OCCASIONAL.
This is the very worst possible att
tude on the part of both driver ar
s pedestrian. 1t will be outgrown, 9
g it was in the case of cable and tro
= ley cars. Meanwhile, there is quit
t as much need to urge greater cal
v and consideration upon pedestrian
: as upon drivers. Neither class hs
= all the rights, and neither should al
sumo that it can impose all the r,
y sponsibility upon the other.

May Send County Exhibit to Fair.

The Oregon commission at the Pan
ama-Paeific exposition is greatly in
need of more exhibits from this state,
and has recently communicated with
the Commercial club of this city with
the idea Of securing the Polk county
exhibit at the state fair for the Ore
gon building at San Francisco. This
display is now being re-assembled for
shipment to the Manufacturers and
Land Products show at Portland and
at its meeting Wednesday evening
the club joined the fair board in de-

OBJECT TO BEING SUED.
Insured Protest Action of Insurance
Commissioner Wells.

While admitting that suit brought
against the policy holders Of the Hor-
ticultural Fire Relief to collect un-
paid assessments will doubtless sue
ceed, the attorneys for the policy
holders committee protest that it is
entirely wrong morally" and a pro-
test to this effect was filed in the
Marion county circuit court on We'd
nesday by Attorneys Oswald West
and Claude McCulloch. The protest
was brought about by the filing of a
petition for authority to bring suits
by Harvey Wells; receiver for the de-
funct horticultural Fire Relief of
Oregon. This petition was filed last
week in the circuit court of Marion
county, butt has not yet been acted
upon by Judge Galloway before whom
the matter will be heard. If permis-
sion is granted by the court to bring
suits against the policy holders to
collect the unpaid assessments such
actions will be filed by THE receiver
as are necessary to collect the sums
due the creditors of the company.

SUNDAY LAW ADVOCATED.
League Would Initiate Measure to
All Activity,

Plans are under consideration fol
initiating a Sunday closing law at the
next general election that would re-
quire all employers to give their en-
ployes Sunday off as a day of rest, nc
matter what their business, and would
close drug stores and theaters and
other places of amusement, and make
it impossible to obtain even a news
paper on Sunday. The moving spirit
behind the proposed law is DR.. G. l..
Tufts, field secretary Of the One-Day-
of-Rest-in-Seven league. He discuss
ed the one days rest week feature
before the Ministerial Union of Port
land at its meeting Monday. The
proposed law was indorsed, and the
Ministerial union also adopted reso-
lutions relative to the present Sunday
law.

MAY ELIMINATE LENo HILL.
Inspectors Named to View Road Be
tween Bentley and Bear Camp.

The possibility of new road from
Bentley to Bear Camp was discussed
at the October meeting of the county
court, which was in session on We'd
nesday and Thursday. The count APP
pointed Roadmaster Waldo j. Finn
and T. j. Merrick as viewers to in
spect the road on the twentieth of
this month and if these gentlemen
say that the proposed route is q suit
able one it is the opinion of the court
that development of the road will not
be long delayed. The proposed route
will be about four miles in length and
will run through picturesque coun-
try from Bentley to Bear Camp, and
will be built to get around Leno hill.
The county court with number of
interested persons went over the
route about a month ago, and the
commissioners and the roadmaster
worked their way over the trail that
marks the route. Mr.. Wells believes
if the road is built that it will be one
of the most attractive drives in the
county, and this opinion is acquiesced
in by Mr.. Beckett.
The greater part of the monthly
session was devoted to the considera-
ton of bills presented, all of which
were passed by the court. The com
missioners were requested to meet
with the Marion county court on
Thursday and spent the afternoon at
Salem discussing the matter of an
inter-county bridge over the William
ette at Salem.

A beautiful floral offering was or
dered by Marmion lodge, Knights of
Pythias, to be- sent to Salem for the

ords and seal for the order. AT a
meeting of the local lodge on Wednes-
day evening a number of Dallas
Knights signifed their intention of
attending the funeral which is to be
held in Salem this afternoon and it
is probable that dozen or more Will
make up the mourners from Dallas.
Mr.. Stinson had many close friends
among the members of Marmion lodge
and his sudden death has cast a spell
of gloom over the entire lodge.

Record Number of Forest Fires

Despite the fact that the cost Of
fighting forest fires in Oregon, Wash
ington and Alaska was much lower
this season than last, more than four
times as many fires were reported in
