Walling, California pioneer, Civil War veteran and dean of the Nevada County bar away at an morning. ; While Judge Walling had been in feeble health for some time the news of his death spread over tne! community and county rapidly and; caused the passing of many regrets; Julius M. Walling was born near Davenport, Iowa, June 21, 1841, where he was reared and educated. ' He went to the aid of his country Aug. 12, 1861 as a private in the 8th Iowa Infantry.

A small part is visible. But by far the Jarger part remains submerged and unseen. “The visible, . direct loss from. mine accidents is due to the compensation of injured workers. This is the part reflected by your compensation insurance premium. “The invisible, indirect loss is more complex. Damaged equipment. Time lost by curious or sympathetic fellow workers. Slowed up _ production. Labor troubles and bad a feeling which often follow frequent accidents. All these and many other factors may enter into the indirect boss. “This indirect loss is not covered by your insurance. It is an additional drain on your profits. The United States Bureau of Mines conservatively estimates that this hid-! den drain has cost California mine operators $7,255,500 during the last five years over and above their compensation insurance premiums which amounted to $2,084,300. More Hidden Danger “But even this indirect loss does mot represent your total accident bill. From the same causes many accidents occur, which involve. no personal injury or compensation payments. A cave-in many occur, fortunately just missing a man or a crew. Such a near accident causes no bodily injury. Itcalls for no eompensation payments. Yet it may . prove very expensive to you by delaying production, damaging equipment, reducing the efficiency of your workers by making them nervous, jumpy, or over-cautious. “How important these near-accidents in your overhead?

Both companies have built up technical staffs and manufacturing facilities at strategic locations throughout the world for the carrying on of their businesses which have grown to international proportions. The common use of these established facilities should give fuller prompter and more efficient service to clients. The two companies have frequently cooperated on the same projects, and in many instances, the equipment of both is used atdifferent, stages of operation in the same plant.
