Capt. Lars Erickson, skipper of
the Alaskan Steamship Company,
is rather happy these days. The
reason is that he flew back to New
York to take command again of
his old ship the Joliet Victory. The
war in Korea is responsible for the
assignment. The ship was operat-
ed by the Alaska Steamship Com
pany from 1914 to 1916 and Cap

Right to Recover In
Hotel BaiIment

The case of White VS. Burke, No.
30531, was recently decided by our
State Supreme Court. 1t involved
the obligation of a hotel in con-
nection with valuables left in it's
safekeeping.
The defendant operated the Don
nelly Hotel in Yakima and was
very well acquainted with the
plaintiff, Paul White. Mr.. White
lived at the hotel at isolated times
and he sold the hotel eggs from
his ranch from time to time. He
was in the real estate business
and consistently recommended the
hotel to visitors in the City of va
kima.
A friendly relationship existed
between the parties in this action
and Mr.. White was granted the
right to place money in the safe
of the hotel whenever he wished
to. It was his custom to deliver
the money to the hotel clerk for
safekeeping for which he received
a receipt.
On the day in question, Mr..
White gave the hotel the sum of
$4,000 for safekeeping which
was then locked in the safe and
for which he received a receipt.
Upon investigation it was discov-
cred that this money was missing
while in the safekeeping of the
hotel and it was never recovered.
The Supreme Court held that a
bailment existed in this case. The
court said that the principle ques-
ton was whether the transaction
was a gratuitous one or one for
the mutual benefit of both Mr.
White and the hotel.
The court further pointed out to
constitute bailment for mutual
benefit it is not necessary that the
hotel receive compensation in
cash. If the hotel derives a bene-
fit from taking possession of the
property that in itself would make
it bailment for mutual benefit.
Here, the court held that the de-
cision of the jury that a bailment
for mutual benefit existed would
mot be set aside. The fact that
Mr. White had furnished ranch
eggs to the hotel coupled with the
fact that he carried on a consist
ent conduct of recommending the
hotel to town visitors was
sufficient consideration to rem
der the hotel liable in the event
the money left with it should dis
appear while in it's possession.
Judgment was therefore entered
against the hotel in favor of Mr.
White for the full amount of his
loss.

ter and the result is like an etch-
ing. but it is not etching, for 10
acid is used and the print is made
from raised lines. First he makes
a sketch. The finished drawing Is
placed in front of a mirror. He
works from the reflection in the
mirror to transfer the sketch in
reverse to metal. This is fine work
which requires painstaking care to
bring out texture and detail. The
prints have a noticeably softer
quality. Each plate takes a week
to 10 days to finish.
Steiner is now making sketches
of Mt. Rainier, which will be the
subject of several dry-point etch-
ings. He will probably arrange an
exhibition of his work in Seattle.
Be sure to look for it.

New Type Morse
Work Lamp Made


vanced stage of electrificatiOn and
Norwegian engineers have given
much thought to problems of il
Elimination.
The firm JAG. Jacobsen AS of
Oslo has for some years manufac-
tured ali adjustable work lamp
known as the LUXO 1901, pro-
tected by a world patent. 1t has
become very popular in Norway
as well as in Denmark and Swe-
den, and the company now turns
out these lamps from factories in
all three countries.
The LUXO 1901 represents
something new in lighting fix
lures. 1t moves on its arm in all
directions with amazing flexibil-
ity. smoothness and stability. Its
easy movements are due to a
number of helical springs and link
ages constructed on a new prin-
ciple which permits perfect poise
and equilibrium in all positions. A
mere flick of the hand will bring
the lamp into any desired position
or angle, thereby securing a shad-
owless light of exactly the right
intensity for the job, whether it be
in an office or in a workshop. 1t
is a thousand and one angles
lamp"
Also extensively used as a gen.
eral purpose lamp in the home, il
can be taken into any room anc
with a minimum of fuss brough,
to the precise spot where it i.
needed.

Hope and Crosby Can Thank
Gilman for Strikinq 1t Rich

Well, you'd have to come and see
for yourself. 1t is not hard to
find. ALI highways lead here.
We're about 200 miles south of
Amarillo. The air is breezy and
clear. The elevation is about g.
300 feet, and if you could find a
hill high enough, you could prob
ably see New Mexico from here.
The Chamber of Commerce
would rather have you come to
Snyder as a. sightseer. There are
too many job-seekers already, and
the streets are not paved with
gold. Millionaires are sprouting
overnight, but they are banking
their funds while continuing to
be themselves as usual, without
splurging-except for new cars
and new homes.
Dump 10000 to $4,000 people
into community of 1900 persons
over years timet and the re-
suits are what you have here.
The total population Is now be-
tween $4,000 and 10000. More
are moving in daily. This is q
bustling and hectic town.
A local banker says 500 folks
have benefited materially, from
the oil find, and $50 have been
made rich. BY rich, the banker
said, he, means they are worth
100000 or more. Some are get
ting rich; some are losing their
shirts.
A lasting first impression re-
ceived by the average visitor here
is that everybody is excessively
busy and possibly on the verge
of frightful hangover or a nerv-
GUS breakdown or something.
Men, women, boys and girls-all
seem bugging under a full head
of steam. New building is pro-
ceeding frantically. The waitress
who brings your coffee does it In
a frenzy.
Even in casual conversation you
can sense the tenseness. Per-
spiration and petroleum. Every
body has IA things to do, no time
to do them in-two weeks behind
schedule. There's money to be
made. and everybody wants to
be In on it.
