"The consolidation of the steel in
terests lately affected, and which as far
as raw material for tin plate mills are
controlled by the Tin Plate Trust,
makes it unwise to erect tin plate mills,
as they apparently could not at present
secure their raw material. We there
fore find the Tin Plate Trust entire
masters of the situation, and it will be
absolutely easy for them to regulate
production to the requirements of con-
sumption. The chances of any change
in the tariff are too remote and uncer-
tain to enter at present into the calcu-
lation.'
To limit the supply to the restricted
demand at the artificially high prices
the trust has closed the following
mills:
MILLS CLOSED BY TRUST.
BALTIMORE Tin Plate Co. Baltimore, Nd,
Britton Rolling Mill Co., Cleveland Ohio,
mills.
Cincinnati Rolling Mil and Tin Plate Co.,
Cumberland Steel and Tin Plate Co., Cum
berland, Md, 5 mills
Hamilton & Co. West Newton, Pa. mills
Marshall Bros. & Co., Philadelphia Pa.
mills.
Ohio River Sheet and Tin Plate Co., Ro-
chester, Pa, mills.
Somers Bros, Brooklyn, n. Y, mills.
Stickney Iron CO., Baltimore, Md, mills.
Total plants, 81 mills.
The two plants at Baltimore and the
one at Brooklyn have been dismantled.
Two or three other plants are said to
be closed much of the time While
several of the mills closed were built
as experiments and are inferior and
cheap, the most of them were good pro-
ducing mills. An average of somewhat
less than fifty men to mill were en-
ployed in these plants.
PRICES AND PROFITS.
When the trust was being formed in
November, 1898, what were said to be
conservative and carefully prepared
estimates of sales, earnings and profits
for 1898 were made public. These es-
Inmates were as follows:
The gross output of the mills was
stated to be 7,635,556 boxes. On the
basis of the then operating expenses a
profit of So cents a box, or $2,671.754,
was made by the mills when prices of
tin plate were the lowest Under the
new arrangement the operating ex-
penses were to be reduced by s1,0O0,000
making a total estimated profit of
$3,671,754. After deducting s1,260,O00
for dividends On the preferred stock ST.
441,754 would be left for dividends on
the common stock.
The prices at which the stock has
been sold on the New York and Chi
cago exchanges show that in good bus
mess circles these estimates were re-
garded as reliable.
When these estimates were published
tin plate was selling at S265 at the
mills, or $3.50 in New York for 100
pound boxes.

AVERAGE PRICES OF TIN PLATE
AT NEW YORK.

Thus not only did the trust advance
prices Immediately, but in March, four
months after the trust was formed, it
had them within one-fifth of a cent a
pound of the importing point-the duty
being IL cents. The trust raised the
prices at the mills on July IA to S43715,
and again on August &c to S4.65-whicn
price has since been firmly held Al
though this makes the price at New
Yerk 80 cents under the importing price

An Old Offender Caught.

Last evening Jesse T. Beans, who lives
at Cul de Sac, was observed to load keg
OF whiskey into his buggy and start
toward the reservation. As this man
had been under suspicion for some time
Deputy Marshal Foresman followed him
to the reservation line and arrested him.
The contraband whiskey was found in
the buggy. Beans was brought to Lewis
ton and locked up over night. This
he was arranged before Com
missioner O'Neill when he plead guilty
to the charge of introducing whiskey on
the reservation. 1t was known to him
that the officers were in the possession OF
evidence that he had sold whiskey at his
place in the past and as he expressed
it he was caught dead to rights.
He was bound over in the sum of 5000
to appear at the May term of the Federal
court in Moscow. He was committed
in default to the Lewiston Jail.
Beans has been regarded an old offend
er. Over a year ago he was placed in
charge of a prisoner who was charged
with the offense of selling whiskey tc
Indians. He suffered the prisoner tc
escape. 1t was believed that he was al
accomplice in crime with the prisoner hi
permitted to escape.

A GrueS0me Relic.

Dir. Galbraith has gruesome relic i'll
his Office, in the shape of human skull
which is supposed to have belonged to
Walters who was hanged by mob III
this city i'll perhaps 1872. Walters killed
a man by the name of Yates near Mount
Idaho. He was brought here for trial.
He was convicted but the fact that his
attorneys appealed his case and got a
stay of execution of the sentence. ar
reused the friends of Yates to such an
extent that a mob was organized, Walters
was taken from Jail and hanged to gate
way arch on Snake river avenue.
The skull i'll DIR. Galbraith's Office is
said to have belonged to Walters but
again others deny the fact, The skull
in question was washed out of the Snake
river bank Just above Snake river ferry.
1t is asserted by some that Walters was
buried there while others say he was
given a regular burial in the old cemetery.
The old timers can solve this problem
if they will shake up old memories and
compare notes. Wood, the man who
killed Duffy,was mobbed and his remains
were buried by the coroner on the hill.
A pan by the name of Wells. who died
with small pox, was buried up there.
A man was buried long years ago on
the hill where the Snake river cable Is
anchored. Who can tell whether this
