mission must pay its expenses, in
cluding clerk hire, with $4000.
It is generally believed that the

riod of nearly 13 months. Frank Davcy,
of Salem, is the only active candidate
for the clerkship, so 'far as known here.

reation for some time, but have had
difficulty In determining whom to ap
point. There was no disagreement
among the officers, but they found it
difficult to select from among the many
men who were rocommendod to their
consideration. The law requires that
not more than two members of the

HEALTH MUST BE GOOD.
Southern Pacific Employes Must Pass
Physical Examination.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 7. (Special.)
From the first of this month every man
who wishes to enter the service of the
Southern Pacific will have to pass a
physical examination to prove his fitness
for the work. This is one of the latest
rulings of General Manager E. E. Calvin.
fVycharge of $1 Is to be deducted from the
.first month's pay of those who have
jiassed the examination and trho have
secured employment.
According to the plan no one is exempt
from this examination except; those who
get employment upon the road as labor
ers and trackmen, and thea the boss of
the gang is held responsible for the good
condition of the men. These bosses are
instructed to be careful as to tho men
they employ, and are to use their Judg
ment as to their physical condition.
This policy is in line with Eastern
roads, which are getting more particular
every day a to mon they take on. Calvin
says good physical condition is as neces
sary for clerks as for trainmen.

INJUNCTION IS DENIED
Idaho Judge. Severely Criticises
Farmers for Allegations That
Tailings Have Poisoned
Their Grass and Hay.
BOISB. Idaho. June 7. Special.) Judge
Eeatty has refused to grant the injunction
asked for by a large number of farmers
on the Coeur d Alene River against the
mining companies of the Coeur d' Alene.
The injunction was sought on the ground
as alleged, that the tailings from the
mills wero deposited on the lands of the
plaintiffs at high tide poisoning the grass
and hay and causing great loss.
The Judge not only denies the Injunc
tion, but severely criticises the plain
tiffs and attorneys. The opinion recites
that the court in company with the at
torneys visited the scene and found the
channel of the river was not choked, but
was deep enough to "float a battleship,"
and no such conditions prevailed as al
leged. Continuing, the opinion says:
The """lid assertions of complainant are
without Justification. They cannot shelter
themselves behind the flimsy veil that they
believed themselves because so toM. A man
must hav some reason for his belief before
asserting it as a truth. It seems by some
to be considered admlssaMc practice in liti
gation to assert anything regardless of truth
that will constitute a rH -demurrable race.
It is the duty that ceuasel owes to the courts
to see that their clients present to them
only the truth.
Courts will endeavor to see that no man
shall succeed through misrepresentation. It
must be concluded either that these com
plainants Intended to deceive the court or
were themselves deceived by their culpable
negligence. In either event a court of equity
would not be Justified ia granting the relief
they ask.
Judge Beatty enters into tbo question
of the contradictory affidavits filed re
garding the propence of poisonous sub
stances la the waters of the river, aa as
sorted by '.the chemists on either side.

and concludes that the court would be
unable to Justify Itself from these affi
davits in issuing a restraining order. It
Is also pointed out that to Issue the re
straining order asked for would mean
"the closing down of every mine and mill,
of every shop, store or place of business

12,000 people, the majority of whom are

transfer In contemplation of death, and
subject to the law governing inheritance
taxes.
