CASE AGAINST MERGER.
Federal Officials Hope to Make 9
Strong ShoWing.3

Strong Showing.
Washington, Dec. 27 To show In
brief what has been done and what
is expected to be accomplished in the
case of the government against the
Northern Securities company an off,
cial Of the department of justice made
this concise statement:
Since this case was opened In May
nearly thirty witnesses have been
heard. Two-thirds of this testimony
has been for the governments side.
! The testimony is now all in, having
been concluded with that of Mr.. Har-
riman Of New York. 57
The arguments constitute the next
step, and this will be made before the
United States circuit court of Mime
sofa. This court begins its next term
Jan 10.
The government, in view of the tes-
timony presented, believes that it has
a good case on the feature of the Sher-
man antitrust law which prohibits two
corp orations from forming a third for
the purpose of control olling trade or
commerce between the states.
This is the only novel feature pre-
sented in this suit and should the gov
ernment be successful in it's conten-
ton, it will undoubtedly have an i'm
portant bearing on future legislation
along the lines Of trust restriction !"

GREAT REEF OF GOLD.
Forty Mile District In Alaska Attracts
Adventures. S

Tacoma, Wash. Dec. 27 A great
deal of gold bearing quartz has been
located by miners in the Forty Mile
district, Alaska. The formation was
traced for three miles and hundreds OF
claims were staked out.
It contains stringers running as high
as $4,000 q ton. The; first stringers
were found six months ago, but the
matter was kept secret until the lucky
prospector making the discovery could
locate the trend of the ledge with the
object of stalking out as many claims
as possible. Since the news was made
public early in November great stam-
pede has taken place.
South African miners say the reef is
similar in formation and appearance to
some of the greatest gold-bearing
ledges of South, Africa. s
It is supposed the ledge is one of
those ground down by glaciers during
past ages. thereby loosening the pres

COMMODITY. a
NOW LEADS p! THE I'll: WORLD
Production for 1901 Slightly Above the
Combined Output Of Great Britain
and Germany, the Next Largest Iron
Producing Countries normous In
crease Over Former Years Shown BY
Government Statistics.

Washington, Dec. 27.-A striking
evidence of business activity in the
United States at the present time is
found in the comparison of pig iron
statistics of the year just ending, with
those of earlier years, as compiled by
the treasury bureau of statistics Re.
Gently published estimates of the pro-
duction of pig iron in the United
States during the calendar year 1902
put the total production at IL, SOC, 900
tons. This is an increase of nearly
100000 tons over last year. and is
more than double the production Of
1896, three times that Of 1886, four
times that of 1881, six times that of
1870, eight times that of 1875, ten times
that of 1872 and twenty times thatsof
1865. The steel production of the
year is estimated at 15,GOO,00O tons,
which is practically so per cent more
than that of 1900, nearly, three times as
much as that of 1896, ten times as
much as that of 1884, and twenty times
the production of 1878. In addition to
this enormous production and increase
over the earlier year, the importations
of pig iron in the year just ending are
ten times as great as in the preceding
year and greater than in any year Of the
decade, and the total value of iron and
steel imported will also exceed that
OF any year during the decade.
This phenomenal growth in the pro-
dnction of iron and steel in the Unit
ed States placed the United States
several years ago at the head of the
worlds list Of iron producing nations,
but has now made its production
greater than the combined production
of the United Kingdom and Germany.
those countries being by far the larg-
est iron producers of the world, aside
from the United States. The total
pig iron production of Germany in
1901 was 7,856,149 metric tons, and
that of the United Kingdom Z ,928.647
long tons, making the combined pro.
duction Of these two countries in
1901 100000 long tons, which is
slightly less than the 1901 production
OF the United States.

IN THE ooukHosoRs SETTLEMENT IN AsslnlsoA CANADA.

hObers which is ma rching on YOrktOn
is caused by scarcity Of the kind of
food their religion allows them. 1t
is believed, however, that the Douk.
hobers will in time forsake strict veg
etarianism since the severe climate
seems to demand meat, and that this
abhorrence of meat will be the more
easily overcome in view of the fact
that it is a compa ratively recent ad-
dition to their code. It is also assert
ed that many of the younger genera
tion are becoming reconciled to the
owning of private estates in spite of
their having been taught literally to-
obey the words of Christ: LAY not
up for yourselves treasures upon
earth," etc, with especial emphasis
upon the words ''for yourselves"
In all of their protests against the
Canadian law the Doukhobers declare
that they wish to abide rather by the
higher commands of God. For exam
pie, concerning marriage they declare
that "only a pure feeling of love born
of the natural recognition of moral
traits of character. creates a real le
gality of marriage according to the
law of God" and that legal recog-
milton, with its accompanying fee, is
not essential. Their daughters are
given in marriage in the open air be-
fore the assembled community with
impressive words of benediction from
the patriarchs. Divorce is almost un-
known; but when a separation is
necessary it is held that the parties
themselves are the best judges of its
necessity.
These religious scruples concerning
marriage and divorce have been often
misunderstood by critics and scoffers
at their religion and have lead to
many erroneous statements concern
ing their ideas of free love-" Careful
writers declare that no people hold
chastity and purity more sacred than
they, and that their religion, while
not forbidding marriage, holds celib-
acy to be the higher state.
The Doukhobers have often been
called Russian Quakers; and while
they have many of the admira BILE
traits of the Quakers, vet this term is
not correct as applied to them, the
! Russian Quakers being distinct sect.
The Doukhobers are described as a
sturdy, strong, and yet simple peo-
pie whose doors are always open to

have been the first to live and teach
the principles of the new faith. The
members of the sect call themselves
only by the name christians" but
the followers of this soldier were
early dubbed by the Russian officials
began early and hinged upon their re-
fusal to- serve in the army-a service
which seemed to them nothing short
of murder. This refusal, as may well
be imagined, was punished most Sc
verely. Even as recently as 1887, when
universal military service was intro
duced for the first time into the pro-
vince into which they had, in a body
been banished, many of them were
whipped until their 'boots were filled
VIII blood" others were imprisoned
and many were sent in chains into in
voluntary military service or exile. A
few yielded: but many more perished.
For long period of years the sect
had grown in this dwarfng atmos-
phere of oppression; but in 1895 the
great majority of them resolutely
stood together in declining to offend
their consciences. They came to-
gether in mass meeting and burned all
their weapons. Harsh measures of
punishment were imm ediately resort
eG fe. though with great secrecy, no
newspaper daring to recount the
scenes or even to refer to the sect in
any manner, on pain of confiscation.
On the assumption that the mass
meeting was the visible evidence of a
rebellion the cossacks were called out
against them and the whole band of
Doukhobers was driven to a distant
village to appear before the governor.
On the way both the men and women
were cruelty treated.
st this point certain kindhearted
Russians who had beheld their suffer
ings made appeal to the czar and Sc
cured. for them the permission to
emigrate at their own expense. An
English officer who had become one of
a group of Tolstoi admirers, which
had. become interested in the Douk-
hobers, visited Russia with funds to
start a colonization movement; but he
was soon expelled from the empire by
the police. On his way home, how
ever. he visited the island of Cypru-
and selected it as the site Of the first
colony and in the summer of 1899 the
first shipload of Doukhober emf
grants landed there. But the china tie
Of the island proved too much for them
and it was determined to secure land

There's some things in this here old world
that I can't quite see through,
And I've been ivin' here now quite a spell,
gosh hang 1t, too.
An artist chap from up in town come prowl-
in round this way
A-totin' of a lot of traps they paint with
10th II day.
L found him in the pasture lot down near
the walnut tree,
With old Spot standan' there as nice and
quiet a. could be-;
He drawed her picture just as though you'd
photographed her there
I dunno why he wasted time to work by
hand, swear.
At last he gethered up his traps and turned
around to go.
Says I: What would you take fer that?@''
the cow he'd drew, you know.
He studied quite a bit and then he turned,
around to
And says: 1.-TWO hundred dollars, when
git it DONE" says e.
'Dyou think you'll git that much?' says 1.
Yes. that, and mebby more,''
He said as though he meant it, and, as I re-
marked before,
There's some things I can't understand;
he'll sell that picture now
For more than seven times ais much as I
could sell the COW.
