Love Note Causes Injuries

A lover who chants an occasional billet doux should be careful of how he chants it, and take heed from the case of Johnson vs Chicago, R l, & P. By, Co.,, Al N. w. Rep. 43O. The plaintiff was lady friend of one of defendants brakemen, and lived near the railroad tracks. This brakeman had often waved at her, and had by his acts and conduct indicated friendliness to- ward her, and had thrown of to her maga- zines and other articles. At the particular time in question, while upon passing train, he undertook to deliver to the object of at traction personal note from himself For the purpose of weight he attached the note to torpedo, and threw the little missive forth landing 1t near the lady's home. In pursuance of the intent of the brakeman, the young lady obtained possession of the note and torpedo, both being brought to her by her sister. Being unaware of the dan gerous character of the torpedo, she was later injured by its explosion For such injuries is 'hc railroad company liable? The supreme court of Iowa holds that the act If the brakeman was not one which he was required to do for any purpose or under any circumstan in the line of his en.- pIoyment, but was apparently purely per sonal between the brakeman and the plaintiff, so the company was not liable for plaintiffs injuries,

EACING THE FUTURE.

The Press wishes to call attention to the
fact that for time Imperial Valley must seek its for
tunes by actual production than in the past and at
least for the time being forget speculative profit fac
tor IN land.
1t is the experience of every region that has made
rapid advance that colonization tends to center thought
"unearned increment rather than actual produc
ton with the result that the land itself and general in
duStl1CG are neglected.
Such tendency runs until some Influence checks
the speculative fever and the people forced to realize
that the real and the enduring value in land is proper
toned to the yield Of the soil
The war has checked all developmenta processes, and
ao until the nation has returned to normal conditions can
we hope to get this region into normal swing again.
Let u.s. then, realize the fac that in the future for
indefinite time the prosperity Of the valley and Of all it's
people must rest the thoroughness of farming opeI
ations.
Everybody knows that many and many farm main
elected until there is little or no profit in it. Those land
holders who have thus neglected their property are
brought face to face with the proposition that they
change their plans suffer loss
1t is such natural untoWard forces that spur men on
TO do their duty to themselves and society," and the Press
predicts that two three years of compala atve dull real
estate business, If the period continues long will re-
suit IN adding more actual wealth to the valley than like
period OF boom conditions and later the colonial
uOn advance will come logical and inevitable sequence
II the people OF the valley these facts now
realize that horoughnesS hard work and enterprise arc
absolute necessities, the will the HIGH profit
in actual production which has far been achieved bv
but minority but which can lie won by ALL and which
achievement must precede another great period of

CONSTRUCTION.

Il The city has done wise thing in getting expert
opinion the building conditions of the city and the eX
perts have done the wise thing in laying down certain
general rules with the ntimaton that these rules not
stern laws, but subject to liberal construction to meet
the individual case
There two distinct ideas that go with construc
ton in earthquake country, both aiming at the same
purposethe prevention of dsintegration by earthquake
The first idea adapted to residences and smaller
buildings outside the fire limits, is elasticity.
The second idea adapted to larger structures, is the
thorough binding of rigid parts into unit. The rein
forced concrete structure the ideal building for this pu
pose for this sort of structure becomes single great
rock formation, all parts of which move in unison
An approach to this can be obtained by the use Of
brick where there is steel reinforcement running through
cement mortar.
A combination of steel framework and masonry has
not proved satisfactory for masonry implies rgdity and
steel framework implies fexibity When earthquake
strikes such building the steel declares the
sonry and tears it to pieces.
The valley has learned many lessons in building in the
last few days but the chief of these is that building
must be either thoroughly rigid or thoroughly flexible
without dsintegration, and whatever produces of
these conditions is good building for Imperial Valley

w. b. EATON Is ENDORSED

BY defeating the Rumson F~reebooters
yesterday on the Far Cortlandt Park
field Squadron A earned the right to
play against the Piping Rock Wanderers
in the ina game of the tournament to-
The squadron four played good
polo and won by a score OF Q TO 6h.
They received 6 goals by handicap and
to this added 3 more by play. Penalties
reduced the total to Q. Rumson played
hard to overcome the handicap advan-
tase. but in spite OF all efforts could
earn only I goals, which a half penalty
reduced to 6h.
The squadron players were able to
hold their rivals at the start, and AL
though Borden had two opportunities
TO score he failed TO send the ball be-
tween the posts. When the period was
half over johnson scored for the squad
ron four. In the second period the play
was very open for half the time, and
then Ross got the ball on a cleverly
placed shot by Borden. and having plenty
of time made sure of his goal shot. In
the next period there was no scoring.
In the fourth Eaton added one for
Squadron A, but soon afterward John
son was penalized half a goal for a foul.
Then Waters scored for Rumson. John
son scored for Squadron A and Waters
and Ross replied with goals for Rumson.
Ross's goal vas a pretty one, he carry
ing the ball all the way down the field
with the squadron men in full chase.
These scores made the totals at half
time: Squadron A, IA Rumson, 4.
The squadron players realized that
their best chance of success was to play
on the defensive, and this they did most
successfully. In the fifth chukker
Waters scored on a neat shot from the
side at a difficult angle, but lost a mar
for Il foul before Ross scored. The
squadron was then leading by two goals.
Neither side scored in the sixth. Eaton's
pony crossed HE feet in making a sharp
turn and went down. His rider got q
