cil are all citiiena and property ownert
it it lair to attume that they have done
everything In their power to better the

have Interfered seriously. It Is time,
however, for our citizens to contider
seriously this matter. It is very evident
the present tupply will soon be wholly

money to build water works, it is proba
ble city taxes f ir that purpose will be
necessary.

EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY
A good decision, and one that reflects
bredit upon the Supreme Court of the
State of Oregon, was hande 1 down by
that body on Tuesday last, citing the
decision of Judge Taft, presii'ent-elect,
in a similar case. The court say, in
part:
"It is often nrserted that a workman
Is at liberty torem'aiu in or abandon an
employment at pleasure, and if he so re
mains after lie uequires a knowledge of
a particular risk and danger to which he
is subject h mnst be held to have vol
untarily ai-sun edtheriskof injury there
from. In theory the bais o! this rule is
true, but in praet'u-e it is not, under
modern industrial conditions. In many
instances workmen ate compelled by
their neeei-eitic?, or conditions of the
labor market, to remain in the service
in which they are employed in order to
support themselves and families. To
sav tj auch i-ertnns that they are at
liherly to quit if they don'l like the con
ditions under which they are required
to work is often "only a heartless mock
ery."
The court hold, as we understand the
deciai in, that even an agreement on the
part ol an employe to waive damages
would be illegal bs contrary to public

and to siy they can quit it at will is, as
the court p ints out, a liolloir mockery.

Fate of thk Ferry According to a
Seattle dispatch the Northern Pacini;
ferryboat Tacou.a, which has been car
ryii g trains across the Columbia for
years, may be taken to Puget Sound and
used by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul as a car ferry betwe. n the Fuget
Sound Porta, picking up loaded (re'ght
cars at various mills and isolated com
munities and delivering them to one of
the compmy' Sound terminals. Seve
ral weeks ago railroad men were given
an inkling of the road's plan. The ferry
can handle from 21 to 25 curs and can
make a t'ip about t ie So ind covering
all mill points within (our or five days.
The St. Paul will thus be able to become
an active comp titor with all other lines
at all Sound ports and save a large
amount of cons'rocton. Sc .res A mills
ate located off the rail line, and th.se
can be kept in touch with' (he railroads
by means ol the (,rry.
provide every safeguard Ksible. Men
who are worthy of the nam will do
thia withoutcoinpulsion, but there are a
few employes who enro for nothing but
iin nnd will take anv risk on the lives
of their men if they believe it will result
in profit to themselves.
