New York, Feb. 22.-The announce

United States that he believed the
Northern Securities company infringed
the antitrust law and that he would
file a bill in equity in the supreme
court, in accordance with instructions
from the president, to test the ques-

since Great Northern preferred is the
only stock remaining listed on the ex-
change which is directly included In

The direct concern of such various

the professional trader, is deeply i'm
bued with the conviction that all his

for Northern Pacific control last year
and that it is only necessary for the re-
adjustment to be made of the sltua-
ton precipitated at that time for the
stock market to resume all the buoy
ancy and speculative furore that was
interrupted by the May panic. For
some time there has been deep
rooted conviction among the specula-
tors that the supreme court Woulo
threw out of court Minnesotas suit
against the legality of the Northern Sc

assumption ALSO which was carefully
fostered in the interest of revival OF

to financial combinations was more
apparent than real, and that a demon

in fact, we came to the conclusion that
we had found what we were looking
for, good country. While the nature
of the soil changes and is in some
parts light, in others stony, and again
heavy, generally speaking it leaves
nothing to be desired. Hay and water
are also in abundance and wood can
be found along the river slopes and

there and shall certainly advise our

that this report may have the effect of
