SENATOR MARK HANNA DEFINES
HIS POSITION ON THE COM
BINING OF BUSINESS
AMERICA MUST HAVE THEM
ORDINARY CORPORATIONS COULD
NOT PROVIDE NECESSARY
CAPITAL, HE ADDS
FAvoRs STEAMSHIP SUBSIDIES

Would Be Marked Change in
Rates-Asserts That the SO-Called
Trusts Are Not New-ComparisOn
Made With Labor Organizations.
CLEVELAND, O., Oct. Ex-senator
Hanna, in a speech before the Fifth Dis
trict Republican club tonight, stated his
position regarding trusts. On this subject
he said:
THE Democrats say I am a fraud to
about them This combination of capital
for one purpose or another is not ques-
ton at all. 1t is a business question and
ought not to have been brought into poll
tics. When our industries We're in their
infancy England and other countries came
along and sold goods to this country at
less than the price asked III their own.
Then followed the protective law, framed
by that friend of the worklngman, Will
lam Mckinley Having secured this pro-
lection, American manufacturers went
ahead. They made rapid strides and are
successfully competing with the whole
world. 1t is impossible for them to do
so unless they have combines of capital.
1--WE should own and control our own
merchant vessels. We should then be in
shape to make our own rates and compete
with other vessels on an equal footing.
We have now reached the stage when We
are doing more exporting than importing.
Last year was the first year in the history
of the country that this was true. But we
must look to the future. We must be
prepared for changes that are bound to
come Therefore Industrial combines are
simply an evolution in business methods.
WOULD CHANGE RATES
Should railways own their own steam
ships there would be a marked change in
rates. All this requires capital and to
such an extent that no ordinary corpora
ton could stand it,
The so-called trusts are not new. They
have been found in England and Germany
as far back as 200 years, and are increas-
Ing. Therefore, from a business stand
point Of view, the formation Of these COM
bEations in one sense is a step forward
Tie Democrats would have US believe that

low us all up However, if the trusts are
a menace to the country, what party ber-
ter than the Republican party can give

When 1t comes down to plain facts,
the various labor organizations are sort

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Will be Held Next July After Republi,
can Convention.

New York, Dec. 21.-The national
democratic convention will be held
either June 26th or July 3rd. The first
date will be just a week after the re-
publican convention at Philadelphia,
and for that reason many democratic
leaders have suggested that their own
convention had better be postponed
until July 3rd, for by that time the
people will have thoroughly discussed
the republican platform and nominee.
Another reason for having the demo-
cratic convention during the first
week of July is that the nomination in
all probability would be made on the
fourth day Of July. The report circu-
lated recently that the democrats are
thinking of holding their convention
in advance Of the republican onven
ton Of the republicans has no founda-
ton whatever. 1t is overwhelmingly
the sentiment of the democrats in
congress that the party out of power
should speak last.

BOOM IN LAND SCRIPT.
Zachary T. Hedges Has Sold SIS, 900
Worth in Wyoming.

The following article in relation to
the sale of land script in Wyoming ap-
peared in the Denver News Of Wednes-
day, December 81:
The unprecedented demand for choice
Wyoming lands has led to the placing
Of large blocks of government scrip on
springs, streams and valleys which con-
troll the use of the public range.
z. T. Hedges, during the last few
months has sold about ST, 900 worth Of
soldiers additional INT forest reserve
scrip, the latter created by the act Of
June 4, 1897. The largest buyer in this
section is the Swan Land and Cattle
company, which has placed scrip cost
ing $4,000, the Geddes Sheep company
SIG, 900, Charles A. Gurnsey 100000.
One large syndicate is 10y arranging
to place $35 1000 script on choice loca-
lions to hold grazing areas, and others
are preparing to put scrip on valuable
timber lands. Buyers operating in this
state are not only Wyoming people, but
come from Montana, South Dakota, Ari-
iona and from eastern states. The SOL
der scrip" is given to veterans of the
civil wal who made filings of less than
16O acres prior to June %, 1874, the
government issuing a certificate allow
ing them to take the remainder from
any unoccupied public land, without
the necessity of settlement upon 1t.
The forest eserve scrip" is issued to
those who filed and settled on lands at
forwards taken by the government in
its creation Of forest reserves, from
which such settlers were obliged to re-
move, and in lieu Of the lands from
which they were dispossessed.
The scrip costs about S. per acre,
which is a big price for grazing areas
in the arid region, but when it is I'M
derstood that in the struggle for range
the possession of 100 acres or less Of
the watering places may give absolute
control to many thousands OF acres of
fine pasture land, such an expenditure
seems small. The land laws are now
so restricted that it is impossible to get
these lands otherwise than by long
homestead settlement, the desert act or
by state lease, the latter being of IN
certain tenure and covering only selec-
tons already approved.
The purchase of scrip gives the buyer
a perfect title and immediate posses
ion, does not require settlement or i'm
provement by bitches as under the des-
ert act, nor compel tedious proceedings
at the land office.

There is a decided boom in real es-
tate in Laramie nov and a number of
business people propose to own their
W stores and are going to demon
strate their faith in the future of Lara
mic by buying and building handsome
substantial brick buildings.
One of the first of Laramie's business
men to show. his faith in the town by
investing heavily in real estate was w.
H. Frazee, who bought the property on
avenue and put on there, at a cost of
nearly $4,000, a handsome brick block,
which is not only a credit to the town
but has demonstrated to persons who
contemplate locating here and strang-
ers who visited in Laramie during the
past year that the outlook for Laramie
in a business way was bright.
That Mr.. Frazee was correct in this
idea has been since fully proven and
his example OF faith and business fore
sight was followed by others, 30 that
now property values have stifened.
several sales have already been made
and two more handsome blocks are
now under construction. The first of
these is the fine Miller block on Thorn
burgh and Second streets, which will
be completed and ready for occupancy
early in the spring.
The second story walls Of the Miller
block are ready for the pressed brick
to be put in as soon as it arrives.
Workmen are now busy e%xcavating for
the steam heating plant which will be
put in this block. 1t will be in the
basement on the Thornburgh street
side.
The second of these is the handsome
Johnson block on Grand avenue and
First street, which will be rapidly push
ed to completion and will make a de-
cidedly great Improvement on that oor
ner.
Another handsome block which will
probably be built in the spring is the
Trabing block on the r Of Second
and Garfield street on the the site OF
the old block, which was burned down
four years ago. There are four lots
with a frontage Of ninety-six feet on
Second street and 1872 feet on GARFIELD.
The foundation walls are intact and a
handsome well-lighted and well
equipped modern block could be put up
there, giving on the ground floor over
5000 square feet of surface and similar
space in the second story and basement.
One of the purchases of a brick
block made during the past year,
was the building on Grand avenue, be-
tween First and Second, owned by Paul
Fuhr of Portland, Oregon, and pur-
chased a few months ago by Bailey
Cornwell. who located here and again
vent into business.
George Phillips is making some
changes in his building at the Thorn
burgh street entrance.
1t is understood hat negotiations are
pending for the purchase, by a dry
goods firm, of the Ivinson block, form
erly occupied by C. N. Settele, and a
Laramie jeweler is figuring on the va
cant lot on Second street next to the
Albany bank building.

THE DEAD OF THE MAINE.

Havana, Dec. 21.-The removal of the
dead bodies of the Maine was not ac-
companied ~ any ceremonies over the
bodies as, newly cofined, they were
placed in the mortuary chapel of the
cemetery until all vas completed.
At 10 o'clock last night 10 wagons
formed a procession carrying ISL cof-
fins to the Machina wharf, passing
through unfrequented streets.
The bodies reached the wharf at 11:3C
under a strong guard from the battle
ship Texas, were placed aboard two
steam lighters before daylight, and
were taken to the warship at 6 a. IN.

Other deals now pending by different

Other deals now pending by diferen'
parties are for the Hill block on Thorn.
burgh street, opposite the Kuster hotel;
the frame building occupied by E. D
Carter; the store on Thornburgh street
occupied by G. E. Eggleston, and the
Baird block on Grand avenu formerly
occupied by w. D. Thomas. .
There is some other property that
would probably be sold now but 1t is in
litigation and buyers are shy of it.
Two former Laramie business men
who expect to return here and engage
in business in Laramie are Meyer Frank
and DR.. Verpoorten and both expect to
buy locations.
s, A. Crawford has been figuring for
some time on building a neat brick
Office block or Grand avenue next to
DR.. Swigart's office.
A Laramie butcher may move into
the Balch block and reopen the Pacific
market in this fine location.
A Laramie barber is also figuring on
/. location.
Another saloon may be opened up on
First street in the spring.
In conclusion it might be well to sug-
gest that this is an opportune time for
the people to take hold of the hotel
proposition. Laramie needs another
hotel and a good hotel with rates from
50 up to $3.50 a day could be made to
pay if located in the center of the bust
ness district and away from the noise
OF the railroad. d,
A new, modern, we'll equipped opera
house would also be a great benefit to
the town, and this as well as the hotel
might be built by selling shares Of
stock.
1t will not be long at the present rate
of improvement before the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company will
purchase a site and erect a modern
block for their business. This COM
pany has their W building in nearly
every town or city of 10000 population
or over.
In the line Of public buildings a post
Office block is becoming every day a
greater necessity and u representa-
tives at Washington have the matter
in hand and will push it through at the
earliest possible opportunity.
Work will commence early in 1900 on
the new science hall at the university,
to cost $35, 900. This building will be on
university heights and will make this
section of our beautiful city one OF
which every citizen will be proud.
In railroad circles, the new Union Pa
cif1c depot at Laramie is another fine
structure.
The outlook is certainly bright and
next year should witness n Of the best
building seasons in the history Of Lar.
annie.
