! That Mckinley, in his forth
coming message will propose
legislation against the trusts is
limited at, but it will be difficult
for him to impress the country
with the sincerity of his attitude.
There is a well-grouned belief
that the question of trusts and
the existence of enormous cam
!. paign funds are interviewer.
With the chairman of the Repub-
lican Campaign Committee de-
Tending the trusts, it is not hard
to see what effect the Mckinley
TRADE against trusts will have
on Congress.
Miss May Purviance received

er's sword, the one he carried

Challis. He has been in the
Basin for some time working on
the construction OF the dredge
boat. The boat made a short
run before the cold weather set
in, but it was deficient in power
run steadily. Next spring as
early as possible, another large
boiler will be added, and the
boat will then be in shape for
active work. The trial run prov
ed that the ground was rich and
that it was an excellent dredg
| ing proposition.
