IN REEDER CASE
Circuit Court of Appeals Affirms
Judgment for $5,000 Damages
for Injuries.
Dan Reeder’s judgment lor $5,000
against the Copper River & North
western railway has been affirmed by
the circuit court of appeals at San
Francisco. The judgment was recov •
ered last May at the Cord.ova term j
of court. ' :
Reeder was badly injured by the j
second cave-in at the Chitina tunnel, j
August 7, 1911. lie was working on |
the reconstruction of the tunnel.
Landlords Lacking.
Switzerland is described in London j
Everyman as "a land without land !
lords.” The natural temper of the ]
Swiss is such that any man who i
should acquire and attempt to culti- |
vale an extensive acreage would find
it difficult to hire the necessary labor.
The Swiss are willing to regard them
selves as belonging to the soil only
on the condition that the soil belongs
to them. In cases where hired labor
is indispensable, it generally has to be |
imported from Austria. The Swiss j
prefer to leave the land and seek j
their fortunes in the hotels, or in the
towns, or across the seas. The Swiss
peasant, no matter how poor, is
strong in the consciousness that he
is a free and independent citizen of
a state to which no other rank than
official rank is known. The poorest
peasants are not in the least anx
ious that their daughters should seek
service as domestic dependents of
distinguished people. They prefer
to enter the service of hotels. The
lack of wealthy patrons dwelling
among them does not deprive the
children of school treats or themsel
ves of organized amusements. They
have their rifle '-•lubs and are the fin
est marksmen in Europe. They have
their choral arid orchestral socie
ties, ; nd they love music and danc -
ing as fervently as their neighbors
of Germany and France.
Moose Dance Saturday.
The regular weekly dance of the
Moose will be given next Saturday ]
at Moose hall. No dance will be giv- j
en on Saturdays. Feb. 14 and 21, be- '
cause of the dances of the Pioneers I
and the Catholic ladies. Saturday’s
dance will be a shirt waist dance. :
