Napoleon's Coin Trick.
New York SUM


1t Is said that thousands of 5-franc
pieces are split into halves by their
French owners every year in the hope
or discovering an immense hidden
treasure. This treasure, according to
the legend firmly believed, Is an orde,
to pay the holder 100000 francs in
silver 5-franc coins.
When Napoleon first set the 5-franc
piece in circulation it was very diff.
cult to induce a Frenchman to re.
ceive the new coin Hence, according
to the story, Napoleon gave 1t to be
understood that he had ordered a
check for 100000 francs written upon
asbestos paper, to be concealed In
one of the new silver pieces.
From that day to this no one has
objected to the 5-franc piece

time attacked upon constitutional
grounds, but the court held that II

power OF the state for the protection
OF its citizens, and that it was there

point.
In the Nevada case mentioned the
court defined the procedure to be OBJ
served in determining just what cir
cumstances made it possible for a
workman or miner to recover in cases
of this nature. It held that to entitle
a workman In a mine to recover from
MS employer for an injury sustained
Upon the ground that the latter had
negligently disobeyed a statute en-
acted for the formers benefit-the
plaintiff must indeed not only prove
that the statute was violated by the
employer but also that such violation
OF the statute was the proximate
cause of the injury. If, however, the
eliminating catastrophe could not and
would not have occurred except for
the violation Of the statute, that yio-
lation should be deemed the proxim-
ate cause of the injury, notwithstand-
Ing there may have been one or more
intervening agencies that were oper-

In the same case, the court also
held that a miner, merely by entering
upon and continuing in the employ
ment of mine owner who has neg
lected to obey statute providing for
certain kinds Of hosting cages, does
not assume the risk of injury in as
cending or descending the shaft with
out such cage The only risks which
he assumes are those which are I'M
avoidably incident to the employment,
and not such as are due to the mas
ter's own negligence and violation of
an express statute. The adjustment
of the doctrine of assumption of risk
in all states except Alabama would
not affect the right of workman to
bring an action for damages, but it
would only heighten the mine own
er's degree of liability, inasmuch as II
would deprive him of even this de-
fensive material.

statutes have been enacted in prac-
,ic,lv all the states of the union re
curing that mine owners and opera
+ors shall take precautions to protect
the life and limb of miners, and i'm
nosing penalties in case the laws are
IGNORED or violated. Frequently a
miner is injured because his emp,o, Ell
has been guilty of a violation of min
ing statutes. The question as to the
light of the injured miner to sue his
employer for a violation of the min.
inc, acts, when such right is not ex
nressly conferred by the statute it
self, naturally arises.
ordinarily, private individual has
no right to bring an action seeking to
compel another person to obey the
laws of the state or nation. Such ac-
ton is properly, within the province
of the officers of the commonwealth
Rut the rule is modified in many in
stances, particularly with regard to
certain mining statutes. In the case
Of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron
co. VS.. Sharpe Q61 Ala, 1922, the
Alabama court held that evidence of
a violation of the mining statute of
that state is evidence of negligence
per Sc. which makes the disobedient
mine operator liable in dmages to a
workman in his mine who is injured
while at work, by an explosion of
gas; and the court further held that
no other proof of negligence was ne
cessary. The decision means that
disregard of the duties imposed by
these statutes constitutes actionable
negligence; and, If such negligence
should be the proXimate cause Of in
iuring person in the protected class,
a liability for the injury would follow
unless nullified by defense recog-
nized as good in law.
In the case of the Jellico Mining Co.
VS.. Walls. CLEO KY, 1907, the Ken
a mine who fails to obey the Ken
lucky statute-which requires that
there be supplied and circulated
through mines 100 cubic feet Of pure
air for each worker, and forbids
working places to be advanced fur
Their than 60 feet beyond the air
openings-is negligent and answer
able in damages to a miner injured
while at work at a point beyond the
statutory distance limit, by noxious
gases there prevalent and too subtle
to be noticeable.
In Illinois, in number of cases, it
has been held repeatedly that dis
obedience of the state statute on the
part of a mine owner or an opera
tor is negligence. per Sc, and upon the
mere showing of such violation the
employee may recover for the injuries
sustained by reason Of such violation.
1t will be noted that it is not neces-
sary for the legislature especially to
confer the right upon the injured
party to bring legal action under the
statutes.

 Normal, patriotic, progressive citizens are going to buy motor cars for personal efficiency and time saving. The demand will in- crease. But because the big plants of the country are helping to sup ply the Government with the sin ews of war, the supply of motor cars will necessarily be below nor nal. By the laws of supply and demand prices will advance. Our sincere advice to you is: buy your motor car nOW.

To Determine Title
To Todd Tracts

Ranchers holding contracts for
the purchase of land from the
White Bluffs Irrigation company,
generally referred to as the Todd
Tracts" were served this week
with summons and complaint in a
suit in which the irrigation COM
pany asks the court to declare a
forfeiture of contract. Summons
and complaint were also served tn
the same ranchers in a case entitled
George A. Todd VS. White Bluffs
Irrigation company ct al" in
which the bond holders are seeking
to foreclose their lien.
The White Bluffs Irrigation COM
pany came into being in 1907 and,
like most of the irrigation compan-
les organized at that time, it has
had its trials and tribulaiions. AS
compromise to suit brought by
the ranchess in 1910, the White
Bluffs Irrigation company enter
ed into contract with the n. l. I.
company to furnish water to tie
land involved. Later rne Hanforu
company went into the hands of a
receiver. Due to the unstableness
OF water conditions, no Payments
have been made on the contracts
Tor the purchase Of the land tor
several years, and it i, SAID thai
the present sui.s are brought now
to prevent the obligations being
ou.laMed and 10 determine the
rights of the parties involved.
Practically all of the local ranch
ers who were served with the sum-
mons and complaints met at the
school house Thursday evening and
decided TO employ Attorney M. M.
Moulton of kennewlck to luok af-
ter their legal interests.

White Bluffs will again market

General Manager Parks met the
local board of tru ;tte; in the after
noon and the growers in the even
ing. A good, free, frank and open
d clssion was had which left every
body in a better frame of mind.
Some of the blame for the misun-
derstal ding can be attributed to
the failure of. the auditing depart
: ment to say that the returns re-
ceived last week were partial and
not final, and some is due to a rat >
er loose method of handling the
business both at the warehouse and
at the central office. The local
board of trustees announced at the
meeting that they were going to
exercise much more interest than
last year, and ask that every COM
plant be first directed to them.
The central office has been reor-
ganized and authority centralized,
which will undoubtedly make it
much more efficient. Since the re-
turns were received last week,
comparison has been made with
those who shipped through other
concerns and there was very little
difference, if any, IN the net price,
At the conclusion of the meetir G
Mr.. Parks said that the Spokane
Fruit Growers company would be
glad to market the White Bluffs
fruit again this year, but that the
company did rot want single
member to feel that he was fore, d
to do SO and that if the growers
decided to. withdraw, he wo lid &C
everything in his power to help
them and to secure fer them tie
title to the warehouse.
1t was after Mr.. Parks had con-.
pleted his remarks and left the
room, that the growers decided. sf-
ter a discussion, to stay with the
Spokane company this year.
