PERFECT
Tooth Powder
Used by people of refinement
Ior over a quarter Of a century

has been entered into between the Fidel-
ity Co. and large majority of the Pru-
Dental Co.'S stockholders, in which the
latter have contracted to sell their hold
ings of Prudential stock to the Fidelity
Co. on May next at 5000 for every
500 of par value. Those Of the Pru-
Dental stockholders who do not sign the
contract will sell sufficient pro rata
amount in addition to the 80 per cent. OF
their holdings TO make up for those who
do not wish to sell any,"
DENOUNCED THE PLAN.
Mr. Hardin followed by reading the
contract between the two companies.
This consumed some time. Criticising
the contract and the manner in which it
was carried out, counsel said:-
''The plan was concocted in secret and
that is borne out by the fact that it was
only made public when a majority of the
stockholders had signed it."
SIS that method any different from
any other observed? Is not an idea
originally conceived and discussed by
few and then made public to. the many?
interrupted the Vice Chancellor.
Yes, sir. 1t was a secret scheme,
conceived and carried out before it was
brought to the attention of all the
stockholders and it is idle to contend
otherwise" replied Mr.. Hardin, who,
proceeding, said in referring to the affi-
davits of Wall street men that hte
merger was a good thing and that since
it had been accomplished the stock had
jumped from 800 to 1000 a share.
''That only emphasizes the scheme
Had the stock gone down, would that
have emphasized it, too?" asked Mr..
Charles L. Corbin.
Nothing to do with it at all, replied
Mr.. Hardin. I'VE admit that the in
vestment is a good thing, but that is not
what we contend against the scheme. ;"
what do you contend?" asked the
ce-Chancellor.
'That it is ultra wires and illegal for
the Prudential Company to acquire these
holdings answered Mr.. Harkin.
.oD you impugn the honesty of the
officials in the scheme? asked the Vice
Chancellor.
mo, sir," returned Mr.. Harkin. 'We
make no personal attacks
'sThen it is merely a question of the
legality of the seheme?' inquired the
oCurt.
Precisely replied the lawyer, who
then went on to state that the merger
was against public policy and the insur-
ance laws of the State prohibited such
proceeding, when he was interrupted
by ex-Attorney General John M. Griggs,
who quietly asked:
''Are they enforced now|
"Yes, sir. ! believe so, but whether
they are or not that makes no differ
ence."
"Oh," was all Mr.. Griggs replied.
An adjournment was taken at midday
to this afternoon.

Ol1Eh LEVY ..
Director Lipman Lyons spoke in favor
of the Van Reipen property.
DIR. Egbert aid:-"It is wei under
stood how stand. l am very earnestly
in favor of new High School, am
satisfied that majority of the people
want the Harrison estate. A certain num-
Der want other sites. A few are satisfied
with the Van Reipen property. AS re-
CARDS the school sites in New York, to
which allusion has been made, I believe
that New York buys small plots because
property in that city is so expensive.
That is no argument, but we should do
what they do We have hesitated and
hesitated about selecting a site until we
are laughing stock. One other board
selected the Harrison site after veIy
thoughtful consideration.
Mr.. Coyie's amendment was lost, and
then President Ward put the original mo-
tion-the adoption of the committees re-

N MI MINING.

The White Knob Copper Company has
closed down its mines at Msckay, Idaho,
and 200 miners have left the camp. The
company spent q million dollars on de-
velopment work but found no ore which
would pay.
The low price OF the metals, prohibit
tive charges by the smelling trust and
unfavorable freight rates on the railroad
for the low grade ores, has caused the
Swansea mine in Utah to close down. 1t
is estimated that there are not less than
125, 900 tons Of ore exposed in the mine
above the 1850 level. and this mass of
wealth will be conserved until it is
deemed prudent to resume production
under more favorable conditions.

IRRIGATION ADDS A HUGE DOMAIN.

he said /: Throughout our history the
success of the homemaker has been but
another name for the upbuilding Of the
Nation
"These public lands" continued the
Secretary, ''are the heritage OF The Ma
ton and should be held for homes, be-
ing reserved for actual settlers under
the homestead act. The area to be taken
by any one man shonld be reduced so
that when water has been conserved by
the government the homestead shall
in certain parts Of the country be lin
tied to eighty or even forty acres"
Secretary Hitchcock in discussing the
long delay in passing an irrigation bill
said that it's final passage was greatly
due to the persistent efforts Of Repre-
sentative Newlands Of Nevada, whom.
he said, could not be too highly praised
for the campaign be had carried on in
it's favor and the time he had spent in
influencing its consideration by Con-
gress.
"Mr. Newlands," said the Secretary,
deserves great praise for his arduous
efforts in f%urthering n of the most
meritorious executive acts that has ever
been placed on the statute books of this
country"
The men who will be greatly affected
by the Irrigation bill are the owners
of cattle herds and the controllers of
the great cattle ranges. for the reason
that by the perversion of the land laws
the sources of water supply have been
gradually monopolized by them in an
effort to obtain a title to the water, and
by this means to control the land. pre-
vent settlement and perpetuate the
monopoly which they now hold.
When President Roosevelt succeeded
to the Presidency Mr.. Newlands found
his strongest ally, for one of the Presi-
dents first acts was to place himself IN
line with the best irrigation sentiment
of the country. He had been West
and was familiar with its needs, and on
this subject he called in consultation
the leading scientific men of Washing
ton, all of them indorsing the New
lands bill, which Endorsement wal in
corporated in the Presidents message.
The bill is very far.reaching.
''There will be no necessity of coming
back to Congress for more Legislation"
Mr.. Newlands said to-day:
1t is guarded in every way against
abuses and land monopoly. and I think
1 am safe in saying that no measure has
| been passed within the last fifty years
which covers so wide q range and is
likely to produce so much good as this
bill. Secretary Hitchcock is authority
for the statement that President Roose-
welt regards the Irrigation bill as one
| of the best measures which his sigma
ture has made a law"

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

from tne fhiihueipniA inquihcfs
Washington, d. c., June 22.-After
many years of untiring effort on the
part of the men who have supported
such a measure, q law providing for the
irrigation of arid lands has been placed
on the statute books of the United
States.
In this so-called arid region lie Who'll
ly or in part thirteen States and three
Territories. excluding Alaska, they con.
sist of nearly one-half of the superficial
area of the Republic. 1t is estimated
that they contain 10000, 900 acres
which may be irrigated if the water sup
ply is properly conserved and distrib-
uted. On first consideration il would
seem that the Irrigation bill possessed
only sectional advantages to the West.
but it really means much to the eastern
markets of this country. Speaking on
this subject to-day Secretary Wilson of
the Department of Agriculture said:
I'm developing these arid lands the
product of the western country will
simply increase the great aggregate of
wealth which the American farmer is
bringing back to this country for our
agricultural exports. Irrigation creates
home markets. and it will develop q
market for our products in Asia which
will absorb the whole surplus of farm
products in the West, no matter how
many additional acres of arid land we
may recclaim and cultivate.
'It will have a material influence IN
many of our farmers who are now flock
ing ACROSS the line into Canada in the
vicinity of Assiniboine, and they com.
pose an element we should keep here,
for they represent the best class of set
tiers the United States possess. These
arid lands can be so enriched by irriga-
ton that you can grow anything on
them that you plant.
"The man who is largely responsible
for the passage of this bill is Represent
alive Francis G.. Newlands of Nevada,
who has fought for its passage for many
years, and too much cannot be said in
praise of his efforts, for irrigation solves
the great problem of making hitherto
desert lands blossom like the rose"
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock.
when interviewed on the subject this
morning was very enthusiastic
IT am very proud that this bill has
become a law" he said. I'm the first
place it is admirably constructed and
surrounded with safeguards from cor
ruption and land monopoly; it opens a
wide field to settlers and assures them
the creation of prosperous homes. and l
know of no function in the power OF the
government higher than that. Mr..
Roosevelt in his speech at Minnesota
struck the keynote in this matter when
