Railroad Strike
Next M0nday
Big Tie-Up Unless President and
Congress Can Prevent.

The long pending railroad strike
is announced to take place next
Monday. How long it will last is
problematical. Shipments of
perishable goods are already being
refused by the companies on
account of uncertainty of getting
them to their destinations. Should
the strike continue very long it
will mean ruin to many fruit rails
ers, also to growers of green vege-
tables where shipments are made
to distant city dwellers. Live
stock movements will be seriously
interrupted.
In the event of the strike only
mail and milk trains would continue
to run, it is said.
On the 2oth, President Wilson,
in a message, placed the railway
strike situation before congress
with recommendations for legisla-
tion. Developments now depend
on two points: whether the legis-
lation the president proposes can
be passsd, and if enacted, will it
be effective to prevent strike

Timely Precautions On Border.
(By Earl Bowman, Capital News

Nogales, Arizona, a,-(By mail)-The
first battalion Of the Second Idaho
listened to a most profitable lecture
in the amusement tent at the Twelfth
infantry camp last night. The
lecture was given by Major Skinner
and dealt with the conservation Of
physical manhood. 1t was profusedlY
illustrated with lantern slides made
from life. Some of them were horri-
b,y realistic The subject is most
timely and the men learned many
things which will no dUubt cause
greater consideration by them of their
health-which will prevent risks tat
are unwarranted and which may be
avoided by the exercise of self
restraint.
These lectures are part of the
educational process. They are power
ful auxiliaries to the campaign fer
morality and cleanliness among the
uen. 1t is a source Of immense
qualification TO see the deep and
serious interest officers and men alike
give to them.
Apropos of this subject morality
has won the first round in the battle

The Mexican Policy

The Nation has no policy OF
aggression toward Mexico. We
have no desire for any part OF
her territory. We wish her to
have peace, stability, and pros
perity. We shall have to adopt
a new policy, policy OF firm
ness and consistency thr rough
which alone we can promot te an
enduring friendship. We de-
mand from Msxico the protec-
ton of the lives and the prop
erty of our citizens and the Sc
curity of our border from depre-
dations. Much will be gained
II Mexico is convinced that we
contemplate no meddlesonl le in
reference with what does not
concern us, but that we pr oppose
to insist in firm and candid
manner upon the perforrn nance
of international obligations. To
a stable government, app propri-
ately dtscharging its in terna'
tional duties, we should give un'
grudging support A short perl

friendly dealing will accomplish

tanning the demurrer of the defen-
dants, Judge F. S. Dietrich OF the
United States district court in a
decision handed down today ruled
that the action of Kootenai county
to recover S25, 900 from the Fideli-
ty and Deposit company Of Mary
land as bondsmen of James w.
Smith, former county assessor, is
barred by the statute of limitation.
While the suit was started four
days before the termination OF the
FIVE years elapsed since Smiths
term of Office expired, yet the
court held that the case does not
come under the FIVE year contract
limitations and that there had been
no fraud by concealment which
would extend the time of starting
action until three years after the
fraud was discovered, because the
auditor and the commissioners had
access to Smiths books during his
tenure of office and it was their
duty to audit same, therefore there
was no concealment.
The decision Of Judge Dietrich
removes Smiths alleged violations
from fraud by concealment be-
cause, it states, his mistakes or
discrepancies should have been
known TO the county officers. "lf
the auditor and commissioners did
not have notice of Smiths wrong
doing" the decision reads, "it
must be because they wilfully
closed their eyes. The facts, so it
is alleged, were discovered in 1871 S
in the course Of an examination by
public accountant. But If they
are as charged, they must have
been known to an ordinarily intelli-
gent auditor and board of county
commissioners in the exercise of
reasonable care in the discharge OF
E, their duties. The state and county
can not now be heard to say that
they did not know that their books
would have disclosed to any ordi-
narily intelligent person."
In supporting his decision that
the action could not come under
the three-year fraud Limitation,
Judge Dietrich takes the stand that
Smith made no concealment. The
decision on this point reads;
Doubtless anticipating the posi-.
bility OF such ruling, the plaintiffs
have undertaken to SO plead as tc
| bring their claims within section
1854, subdivision four, which pro.
vides that IAN action for relief or
the ground of fraud and mistake
may be brought within three years
after the discovery by the aggriev.
ed party, of the facts constituting
the fraud or mistake But to thi'
contention there are two conclusiv,
answers. In the first place no sucl
fraud as the statute contemplate
is pleaded. :. With one compare
lively trivial exception, there is nj
charge here that Smith profited, o
expected to profit, by his allege'
violations of duty, nor are circum
stances pleaded from which il
reasonable to infer that his motive
were corrupt or that he attempted
to conceal his shortcomings, o
was conscious OF wrongdoing.
"In the second place, the plaintiff
have not pleaded such conceamen
on the part OF Smith or such know
ledge OF the facts or the opp0rtunit
of knowing them, as TO toll III
statute. Fairly construed, tn
complaint here, with one poss bI
exception, charges no cuncea linen
and no manipulation OF the records {
of the entries therein ID cover up th
& facts or to mIslead the auditor an
I the county commissioners. ln Ii

a very heavy rain the reservoir fills
up and the excess water, if no
adequate spillway is provided, over
flows the top of the dam and
washes away the earth as it falls
over the back side of the dam,
washing it out from the rear. At
least IA square inches cross section
of spillway for every forty acres in
the watershed should be provided to
carry off this excess water. The
spillway should have a cross section
area at least equal to the cross Sec
ton area in the coulee or creek

mark. The main part of the dam
should be at least two feet higher
than the spillway. The outlet for
carrying off the water as it is used
can be of several different types.

size of outlet pipe or sliuce box.
Extreme care should be used in
putting this in so that no seepage
