The only eountry now represented at the bolshevik scat of government is Argentina- ' (Si Opsins) SUPREME COURT RULES MOIST RESPONSIBLE Justice Burnett Writes Cent's Opinion Of Accident In Baker Comity. If the driver of an automobile at tempts to cross a railroad track without listening and 'looking to see it a train is approaching, neither he nor his es tato can collect damages from the rail road eompany if a train hit him and inflicts damages. This is the gist of an opinion handed down today by the supreme court in the case of Alonza V. Robinson and H. H. Clifford, administrator of the estate of Frank Wcygandt, decoased, ccrainst the Oregon-Washington Railroad i Naviga tion company, appellant. "Considering the great flexibility of motion, and their great possibility of doing damage," says Justice Burnett, who wrote the court's opinion, "it is but simplo justice to demand of auto biles a more particular obfn.,wJ. .t the rulo to look and listen than is re quired of the driver of a team of hors es." Accident in Baker County. The aceident occurred in Baker coun ty on a railroad crossing in the Burnt river canyon. Wcygandt was driving the car and Robison was ridine with him. Weygandt was killed and Robi son was injured. Suits wore brought against the company and judgments foi damages obtained. The supreme court reverses the lower court ana orda.s suit brought by Clifford, as administa tor of Wcygandt 'a estate, -dismissed on the grounds that Weygandt was negli gent, and directed that the suit brought by Robison be remanded for a new trial. "The administrator claims his deco dent could sot see the train because of the intervening bluff," says Justice Burnett. 'lf this be true, how could he expect the trainmen to see hlmf J.f it was negligence for them not to seo him under such conditions, it was equal ly negligent for him not to see the train thoy were operating. Looking at the impenetrable hill was futile. It was Weygandt 's duty to look upon the only place whence danger would come: viz, upon the track, for which viow he had safe and ample opportunity before go ing in front of the train. He was guil ty of contributory negligonce not looking from that place of safety, stop ping if necessary for that purpose, be fore advancing to the point of collision. His neglect of that duty cost him his life and his estate must bear the loss." Justice Burnett points out that an automobile is different from a team of spirited hoses and it can be stopped with safety within a few- feet of the railroad back tor the purpose of al lowing the driver to see if. the way it clear. Other Opinions. Other opinions were handed down as follows: Tho Alder Slope Ditch company, ap pellant, vs. Moonshine Ditch company; appealed from Wallowa; contest over water rights in connection with adju dication of water rights in Hurricane creek; opinion by Justice Olson; Circuit Judge Knowlcs affirmed. D. D. Gorsline, executor of will of W. M. Gorsline, vs. Jennie A. Gore, ap pellant; cppcaled from Marion; suit for accounting of funds of W. M. Gorslino estate; opinion by Justice Harris; Cir cuit Judge Galloway reversed and case dismissed. Emma A. Smith et al, appellants, vs. J. F. Boothe et al; appealed from Mult nonmhj suit for accounting of profits realized in connection with roalty deal, heard on rehearing and former opinion adhered to; opinion by Justice Burnett. Meeting Tonight In Waller Hall To Organize Orchestra Under the direction of John R. Sites, music -director for Willamette univer sity, a meeting will be held this eve ning at' Waller hall at 7:30 o'clock for the purpose of organizing the Salem symphony orchestra. The mooting is not only for those who have had some experience with orches tra instruments but also for the women of the city who are Interested in mu sic to form a musicians' association. All women who are interested in music are invited to be present. Besides the symphony orchestra there will also be organized this evening at Waller hall a choral union which Prof. Sites will direct. For those who enjoy concert singing an opportuniy will be given and it will not be necessary for one to have a trained voice to become a member of the union. Professor Sites, is taking up a work that will doubtless meet with the ap proval of musicians not only for those interested in a large orchestra but also for those wh0 wish to have the advan tages of efficient training in chorus work. It has been well known for a number of years that the city has suf ficient orchestra talent to support an orchestra of SO pieces or more and it is for the purpose of bringing these players together that Prof. Sitea has called the meeting tonight. Part Of William Jory Land Claim SoldFor $33,000 One of the largest sales of real es tate made recently1 was "onsumated today when, a part of the William Jory donation land claim about two miles southwest of Liberty was sold to Claud H. Stevenson, A. I. Potter and Henry Booth- The tract included 80 acres in prnnes and 20 acres of timber and was sold by Miss Ada E. Jory for :t3,000. From the tract this year was harvested 118 tons of prunes. On the land sold is a drier. The Jory family will con tinue to liv in the'preswit home ad joining the land sold.

The Southern Pacific is getting on the wrong side of the city councilmen, due to the bad condition of several crossings- This developed at tho regular session last evening of the city fathers when a motion carried instructing City Attorney B. W. Macy to take up the crossing problem with the railroad. Reference was especially made to the crossings at Church and Trade, High and Center and Seventeenth and Market streets. It seems the railroad has been notified of the bad crossings and asked to Tcmcdy conditions as its franchise provides that it shall main tain its crossings oft the grade estab lished by the city. The 8. P. will again be notified to put its crossings in right condition and if no attention is paid to the city's needs, tho city will then have recourse to the law covering the railroad's franchise. Extra For Lighting. Instead of paying $15.00 a month for lighting the bridge, the council last evening found out that the eost would be an extra $2.25 a month. In making the contract for the lighting, the Port land Railway Light and Power com pany forgot all about the channel lights which cost 4.50 a month. Hence, as the eity is paying half of the lighting this $2.25 a month will be added to the $15 00. As the city's books have not boen financed for two years, Alderman C. B. Albia snggested that now would be a fine time to have an expert look over the city's books. His motion that W. I. fitaley be employed to expert the books carried, with the provision that the bill should not exceed 200. To Clear Out Ditch. A. H. Moore suggested that some thing b done to clear out the ditch near the Deaconess hospital. Mr. El liott said the owner of the proper ty adjoining objected to the ereek be ing cleaned up. Mr. Moore also told of a man who was run over by an autv about 9 oo 'clock a few evenings ago and the auto had no lights. The police was instructed to look out for lightleas autos and enforce the law in this re spect.

SIM SHOULD HELP PROVIDE J-AND TO HEN State Engineer Cupper Discus ses Reconstruction Plans ForJFuture. Methods for the state to co-operate with the government in providing land and homes for returning soldiers arc discussed by State Engineer Cupper in his biennial report, now being print ed. He points out that the general fea tures of the government s program seem to be to make provision for tho returning soldier to Improve a tract ol land and be paid wages for the work and be given a preferential right to purchase the land. The state's shore, he said, should be to furnish the land while the government, pays for the improvements ander a deferred pay ment plan whereby both would receive their money back, As a means of acquiring land for soldiers, he suggests that irrigation, drainage and other districts should bo given authority to accept a portion of a man's land at an appraised value in payment for tho reclamation of the bal anee, and in that way brcuk up iuhiij large land holdings. lie suggests that district should be organized for clewing logged off lands by community effort the same as ir rigation districts are now formed and operated for the reclamation of land. Concerning Irrigation. There are 150,000 acres of Carey act lands in feasible irrigation projects in this state which could be reclaimed without expense to the state, he also points out. Mr Cupper highly commends the op eration of -the irrigation district law. Prior to ISIS there were only 11 irri gation districts iiThe state, be points oat.
