The com mission took charge of the work about the time the denuding of the northern forests and other influences had be- gun to diminish the volume of water in the river. There was at that time-dnd still is-tha June rise" which ire quently resulted in a complete destruc- ton of plans for curbing the river, but for the most of the time the river was apparently tractable, keeping within it's banks and behaving with unusual dccility. It was the dream of the en- gineers and the members of the com mission to narrow the channel in pla- ces. and. by the use of riprapping and dikes, to conffne the river to course that would, by the very nature of things. provide an open water way cap able of accCmcda ting river craft of th.- freight variety.

In passing on the validity of the Illi- nois antitrust law. the supreme court
 Of the United States ANTITRUST has laid down a prin- LAWS. oiple easily understood.
 and the soundness of which will be disputed by few. In brief, it is to the effect that antitrust citizens alike.
 The court held the Illinois law invalid because it exempted livestock and az ricultural interests. The effect of this decision is sweeping. With the failure of the Illinois statute twelve others fall for like reason. These are the anti trust laws of Georgia. Indiana. Louis jana, Michigan. Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Da- kota. Tennessee, Texas ana Wisconsin. each of which contains a provision that excmpts livestock and agricultural pro- ducts. in the hands of the raiser or pro- ducer. and labor organizations. Under the ruling of the cour; an antitrust law to be constitutional must apply equally to all classes of citizens and businesses without any exceptions whatever. Any exception, Justice Har- Ian held. was in violation or the equal protection of the law guaranteed by the constitution. Justice AIckenna dis sented. holding that there must be some classification having regard to the different capabilities, conditions and relations of men.
 The grounds upon which the decision is based are apparent to the laity as well as to the legal mind. \ law that attacks one kind of trust combi1a tioas and protects others cannot be valid, be- cause it is not just. There is neither ! legal nor moral reason why farmers and stock breeders should be permitted to combine and advance prices on their products any more than should rail- roads and manufa cturers. The states affected will have to try again for anti trust legislation. and if they will eliminate the features pronounced ob- jectionabie by the supreme court they may have something that will bear | the test

MEEKER ISLAND: ]
Lock and Dam Work Once in
Critical Shape, but
O. K. Now.

From The Journal Bureau, 1soons 20. Poss
Building, Harrington.
Washington, March ,29.-The appropr1a-
ton Of $25O,OOO in the sundry civil bill for
continuing work on the locks and dams
between Minneapolis and st. Paul insures
the completion of that project Reports
are on file in the house that the project
cannot be completed within the author
lied limit of cost. Under the law when
such conditions exist the engineer de-
partment must stop work. Chairman
Cannon of the appropriation committee
knows of the conditions, but through the
representations of congressman Beecher
and Stevens, he consented to allow the
appropriation to go in the bill. There
is a PARAGRAPH in the river and harbor
bill authorizing the secretary Of war to
continue the lock and dam work, but it
is not yet law and by continuing the
work the department is stretching the old
law almost to the breaking point. The
situation was very critical for time,
but all the kinks are now In a fair way Of
being straightened out.
Representative Stevens says that about
$780, 900 Of the appropriation of $1,6OO,0OO
for repairs and improvements at army
posts will be spent at Fort Smelling. This
is In addition to the 1880 specifically
appropriated for extending the railway
tracks into the reservation.

BY TUNNEL
TO ST. PAUL
An Interurban Subway Is
Planned by N. w. Tel
ephone Co. \
Work Will Begin Monday
i. on the Improvement,
Costing $1oo, 900.

Work will begin Monday in St. Paul
upon telephone tunnel which is to con-
meet the Minneapolis and St. Paul sys-
TENS Of the Northwestern company, and
through which all of the interurban wires
OF that company will be conducted. The
Improvement will cost approximately
100000 and will be completed before fall
1t. is designed to obviate the possibility
of an interruption of the interurban serv-
ice because of 8storms, and to give the
company increased capacity between the
two cities. At present there is no pole
room and the company finds itself I'M
able to supply the full service demanded
by patrons. Another objection which the
new plan is expected to overcome Is the
frequent 'singing' of the wires, a con-
dition brought about by the close prox-
unity of wires belonging to the street
railway company and carrying high
voltage current. - ---.-
Altogether the company will eXpend
$500, GOO III the northwest this year in
betterments of it's plant OF this amount
$200,00 will be spent in extensions of
the present underground system in Min
neapolis and St. Paul, including the new
interurban tunnel. Additions to the pole
system. now under way, will cost 100000
more; and the remaining 100000 will be
expended in the construction of additional
toll lines, and in improvements of vari-
Gus systems owned by the company in
northern Minnesota and the two Da-
kotas. .~. -
The pole work to be done here and in
St. Paul is important only in the ag
gregate 1t will consist of not more
| than two or three blocks at a stretch, the
system already being very complete in
both cities; but altogether the improve
ments will be SO extensive that their cost
| is estimated at 100000. II
| Minneapolis will get the larger share
of this appropriation, as the company has
about 80 per cent. more subscribers in
| this city than in St. Paul.

- Helena, Mont, March 29.-Little doubt
is expressed here Of the death five years
ago of John c.. Paulsen, state architect,
who committed suicide to escape possible
conviction of accepting bribes.- Press dis
patches sent from Butte tell of sensa-
tional disclosures made in the trial of the
case Of Riddel against Ramsey, an action
to recover money alleged to be due on
a contract for building. .-' ~.
1t Is alleged that Paulsen never died,
but that his coffin was filled with lead or
stones and the authorities fooled. His
wife afterwards took his body to Ger
many. '..h -5-.r..-
The coroner of Lewis and Clarke county
visited the graveyard two days after
Paulsen's death five years ago, opened
the coffin in the receiving vault and found
that the dead body of the state architect
was therein. This step was taken to allay
public suspicion that he was not dead,
but that he was feigning death to cheat
the grand jury, then in session.
