chnnges modo to conform to tho now
status of tho law as Interpreted by
tho Supremo Court.
Having been beforo the court In n
caso decldod n fow months ago It was
tho belief that tho .Rnsohurg railroad
plans woro sound and that by follow
ing them nd trouble would bo exper
ienced horo. Now, however, corona
this second decision which necessi
tates a complete rovlslon of tho local
plans nnd a resubmission of tho mat

was on tho bond Issuo Itsolf, which
-was found valid and n proper oxor
clso of tho powor of tho city undor
Its nmended charter. Tho second
decision, Just handed down, takes up
tho question of tho contract thq city
was mnklng with tho rnllrond pro

As tho Hend' proceedings, on which
tho cltv registered a favorablo voto

THE
HIXON PLANT
Chairman of Stato Industrial Acci
dent Commission Observes Methods
Which aio t'.so to Safeguard Men.
William A. Marshall, chairman of
tho State Industrial Accident Com
mission mado a recent visit to The
Shevlln-Hlxon Company's plant. In
regard to tho safeguards offered by
tho company, Mr. Mnrshall says:
"The natlon-wldo movement for
safety has now reached tho stage
whoro cmployors, In tho erection of
mills and factories, not only aim to
provldo proper safeguards for ma
chinery, but also recognize other fac
tors Indispenslhlo to safety a,nd ef
ficiency. Insufficient light, for In
stance, has been found responsible for
many accidents In connection with
factory work, and It was apparent on
my recent visit to tho now plant of
tho Sliovlln-HIxon Company that even
this had been taken into considera
tion. Many windows In 'all build
ings furnished a wealth of natural
light, which was being conserved by
tho application of whlto kalsomluo to
tho interiors. The gonernl demand
by cmployors thnt machinery bo
equipped with safeguards at tho tlmo
of manufacture was also evidenced by
tho wood-working trnd other machin
ery Installed nt tho plant.
"Tho logging railroad and Its
equipment proved of particular In-
torcst, ns this Is tho most hazardous
operation In tho lumber Industry. On
the trip of approximately eight miles
nn Btecn grades pud only ono small
brldgo woro encountered. Tho roll
ing stock wn? equipped with air
brakes and automntlc couplers, whllo
all tho cars used for transporting logs
woro also provided with safoty log
bunks. In tho woods operation tho
very latest machinery wns round, nut
horo, of course, tho problem with ro
gard to tho prevention of accidents
Is not so much a matter of mcchnnl
cnl safeguarding ns It Is co-operation
botween tho workman and thoso In
chnrgo ns to the mnnnor of doing tho
work.
"To thoso of us who nro constant
ly In touch with tho Industrial acci
dents of tho state It Is, of courso, en
couraging to And efforts bolng mado
to reduco tholr number. Whllo tho
omployer can do much through mo
chnnlcnl safeguarding, thoro Is n
very lnrgo porcentugo of nccldonts
which can bo eliminated only through
tho nctivo nnd constant co-operation
of cmployors nnd workmen. ICffoc
tlvo work of thlV character reduces
tho cost of iiiBtiranco to tho employ
er, nnd tho bonelU to tho workmen Is
obvious."

vllle's chances of getting u rnllrond
wero never ' rlghter. At leant, that
Is. tho opinion In woll Informed circles
In Portland, where thoro Is evident
n real, belief In tho probable success
of tho town's latest rnllrond effort.
Today tho Prlnovlllo votoro pass
upon tho proposal to bond the city
for $100, ood, Undoubtedly tho elec
tion will curry nlmoat iiunulmously.
Not for yonrs has there been a butter
mnrkot for municipal bonds, nud as
this Is Prluovlllo's first Issuo It la
safo to say thnt a ready and satisfac
tory Halo will bo found.
It Is ostlmntod that $22o,000 wilt
build nud equip tho proposed line,
which will bo undor twenty iivIIoh In
length nnd will connect mM- tfci
main lino somewhoro betweon Rod
mond nnd Torrobonno.

Tho plan bolng worked out con
tnmplntos contribution of $r.0,000 by
Pi'liiuvlllo paopL and adjacent bind
owners who will bo much benefitted.
TIiIh plus tho bond Issue, will bring
$Ki0,000. It hi iitrtod that tho city,
or tho oporntlng company, nlrendy
has an agreement with tho railroad
companies by which the latter will
furnish mils nud uccoasnry rolling
stock, Tho total cost of nil this Is
$7r,000. Tho companies will chnrgo
rontal of live pur cent per year.
Already priietlrnlly nil right of wuy
bus been Mtciinnir Tho outlny for
this, exclusive of tho dountod bind,
will be about $10,000, and will bo
paid from the K0,000 paid in for

city will own tho railroad.

It Is known that A. II, Rogers, who
owns somo 30,000 noros of timber
back of Prlnevllle, hns offered to con

erly end of the lino as It Is to built
townrd PrlnovlllH from tho mnln road
as It would cost to ship In fir tins
from vnllov mills. Or, possibly Hend
mills will find a market for plan Hon.
However. Honors' Interest In the
