Trusts are not regarded as Illegal
combinations in Germany, as is evil
denced by a recent decision of the SUI
preme court of the empire Economic
)nsiderations appear to have played
prominent part in the deliberations
Of the court, which, in its opinion, says
that it is not to the interest of the
community that inadequately low
prices should prevail in any branch of
business or industry, and points out
that attempts have been repeatedly
made by legislative bodies to bring
about higher prices for certain products
by means of protective duties. The
ground is taken that if this policy be
pursued by the legislature, agre 3ments
or combinations between manufacture
ers to prevent ruinous competition ahe
check the downward tendency of prices
cannot be regarded as generally and
absolutely obnoxious to the interaI
of the community.

Seattle, Wash, July 24.-Fred Price,
a Seattle man who has returned frem
the Clondyke with several thousand
dollars in gold dust, says that there IS
great danger of suffering on the part
of those who attempt to go into that
country without an abundance of sup

mand which will be made on them. He
thinks the men who take up horses to
cross the pass from Dyea will do well.
They can get their provisions in easily
that way and sell the horses for dog
meat afterward. He also advises
newcomers to look for claims on other
creeks besides the tributaries of the
Clondyke. the latter being pretty we'll

further that gambling denS and dance

Price says it is hard to get along in
Dawson City on less than $50 day,
and many of the men spend ten times
that much. He claims that one saloon
cleared up $4,000 in three weeks this

A recent writer notes that "a good
orchard is one of the most important
and attractive improvements offered by
one who has "a farm for SALE" A ru-
raj nonagenarian, now dead for nearly
half century, made it part of his
chief industry to persuade his neigh
bcrs to start nurseries of future or
chards by saving and planting fruit
seeds. A blessing has been pronounced
en- the man who plants a tree, in the
generous hope that others will eat it's
fruit or sit in its shade. What
mighty debt we, who are "heirs of all
the ages" owe to those who have come
and gone before u.s. Oddly enough,
we can only pay it to those who are
to come and go after us.
