 That Philippine investigation continues to turn out things disa- greeable to the administration right along. Reputable witnesses have testified that the half has not been told of inhuman cruelties in flicted upon the natives by men wearing the American uniform. Public sentiment against the re publican Philippine policy is daily increasing, although the admins tration still refuses to see 1t.
 The editor, in company with c. o. Magness and E. II. William son, took stroll over to the farms owned by these gentlemen in Big Bottom Sunday morning and got our first glimpse of the beautiful and fertile farming lands of that community. Its no wonder that Newark IS prosperous; a town with such fertile farming country as that to back it, cant help but be prosperous. The people who are so fortunate as to own land in this favored section have far more sure road to wealth than if they owned half dozen claims in the Klondyke.

They TELL
ABOUT MERCER
Hill and Hartman on the
Witness Stand.
HILL TELLS 1T ALL
Says That 1t Was Necessary 10 Control
the Burlington to Evade Posi-
BE Coal Famine.
HILL TELLS 1T ALL

Chicago, Jan. 25-James J. Hill,
president of the Northern Securities
company and president of the Great
Northern railway, testified for three
quarters OF an hour before the inter
state commerce commission yester
day.
In answer to questions tending to
show the effect of the community of
interests plan on rates, the veteran
railroader declared that competition
does not lower rates, but, on the con-
trary, he believed that it advanced
them. He declared that in the north
west, where, for 20 years, the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific have
been at peace, where one road has
agreed with the other on rates, and
maintained the agreements, rates
were lower than in any other part of
the country.
In regard to the purchase of the
Burlington by the Northern -Pacihc
and Great Northern, Mr.. Hill de-
clared that the purchase was a mat
ter of necessity, and was not due to
movement in line with the trust
idea. He testified to the formation
of the Northern Securities company
and in doing SO gave reason for It's
organization far more simple than
has generlly been considered.
There are some old men-some
very old men interested in the Great
Northern" said he; two of them
are over 80 and several of them are
over 70 years They wanted to form
a close corporation into which they
could confide their interests with the
assurance that the road would be
managed along the lines which have
made it success. 1t was to have
taken over one-third of the stock of
the road. The plan seemed to be a
good one. and then it was proposed
to let all the stockholders in-not
alone the few owners of the one
third-but all of them. The plan met
with approval and then it was broad
ened into the idea of taking in the
Northern Pacific also. The roads had

can make no difference, and will
make no difference"
Mr.. Hill talked vigorously and
earnestly. At the end of the session
when Chairman Knapp offered to al
low Mr.. Hill to leave for New York
if the latter felt that staying in Chi
cago would inconvenience him seri-
ously. Mr.. Hill declared that his time
belonged to the commission and that
he desired to aid them IN every way
to the extent of his ability. Chair
man Knapp thereupon said that Mr..

SCHLEY TO Be
INVESTIGATED
Exceptions Taken to His
Letter to Graham.
CRITICISED SAMPSON
Secretary Of Navy Long Claims He Dis
obeyed Order Forbiddtng CT
1icers to Talk.
CRITICISED SAMPSON

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Admiral
of inquiry for his alleged letter to
George e. Graham, author of "Schley
and Santiago" in which Admiral
Sampson is by inference criticised
for not having been present when the
Spanish fleet was destroyed.
The matter has been brought to
Secretary Longs attention and he
will give it consideration. Admiral
Sch1ey's letter to Mr.. Graham was
dated November IA, 1901, and was
written from the Arlington hotel in
this city.
The sessions of the court of in
quiry had been concluded several
days, but this, according to the navy
department authorities, does not af
feet the case. Secretary Longs spe-
cial order that naval officers should
not discuss the Sampson-Shley con-
troversy for publication is held to
have been in effect.
The letter made public by the pub
fishers of George e. Graham's book,
''Schlev and Santiago" is issued un-
der the canton. "A personal letter to
the author 1t reads:
"The Arlington, Washington, Nov.
IA, 1901: My Dear Graham-To be-
gin, in replying to your letter,
have no literary intentions or pre-
tensions, and I shall be glad if you
shall succeed in getting the work
you intended publishing just after
the war before the people. There is
no other one person save you and
Cook or myself who could tell the
story of Santiago. All of us saw it
from beginning to end and the Brook
lyn and Oregon were exposed from
beginning to end of the combat, and
were closer to the enemy at every
stage of the fight than any other ship
or ships.
''If these facts are essential to one
who writes history correctlv. then
you are qualified in an eminent de-
gree to tell the story of Santiago and
I'd tell it without fear and without
favor.
Sampson WAS III olDOneV ndrDOr
the morning when the fight began,
and O'Shaughnessy of Chicago
swears to it. This fact you ought
to bring out clearly and it is certified
to by O'Shaugnessy, who was on the
beach that morning and saw the New
York there. and this is undoubtedly
a. fact.
"Now, l will indorse you in the
highest way possible, SO you may
fire when you are ready, Graham ="

.MAGNATES IN SESSION
Formation of the Pacific Northwest
League Is Assured.

Spokane, Jan 29.-The managers
of the Pacific Northwest leage { are
in session at the Spokane hotel. Tue
most important event that has taleL
place so far is tha admission of Butt
and Helena into the league. There
is little doubt about four games q

the managers have not yet voted on
the proposition. The men to repre-
sent the differen' clui5 arc. Spokane,

the raise a distance of 80 feet, but
no bones were broken, but his inju;-

Russell also fell and his foot causnt
in the ladder. The two men man.
aged to reach the draft ana gave the
alarm RusselPs body was found
hanging to the rounds OF he ladder

coroner's jury today. Deputy State

us-the Oregon Short Line people
thought it would be advantageous to
have an interest in Northern Pacific,
and purchased stock that was lying
loose all over the country and Eu-
rope, held by five to seven thousand
persons. We made no contest for
the Northern Pacifc-we purchased
a majority of the capital stock. We
purchased prior to the supposed co...
test and no stock was acquired dull
ing the panic in May.
Mr. Day tried to show that the cou-
test for Northern Pacific stock was
the forerunner of the panic on the
exchange, but Mr.. Hartman insisted
that such was not the case. Some
of the stock" he continued, Eve had
! bought in markets all over the world.
Some of this was on the way from
these various markets TO be deliv-
erede In the meantime the sellers
borrowed"
Questions were then put that indi-
Gated "jobbing" had been resorted to
in the purchase, and which brought
til6 ltplS ne 6LOCh w DIS DuICudSGu
in New York from persons who
bought from the owners. Then when
the so-called contest came and the
stock contracted for was demanded,
seller found it difficult to fulfill their
contracts. Our interest in every case
gave the persons all the time they
wanted
An attempt was made by the COM
mission to draw out statements to
the effect that the final sale of the
Northern Pacific stock by the Ors.
gon Short Line as controlled by the
Union Pacific-Northern Pacific sypdi-
cate was only an understanding or
truce with Mr.. Hill and the supposed
interests that combatted for North
ern Pacific in the panic. Mr. Harri-
man said that after the purchase was
made he and his colleagues thought
the matter over and they thought bet
ter to sell again. He implied that it
made no difference really who owned
the Northern Pacific.
