HIS GOOSE POND.
But he Couldn't Shoot Wild Geese
ere-Now he is Mad.

There-Now he is Mad.
Jesse Foster was in town We'd
nesday, and was in that frame of
mind that usually comes to man
who falls six or seven times over a
rocking chair when he is seeking
his virtuous couch in the darkness.
That is to say, Mr.. Foster was
mighty mad, not at the family rock
ing chair, but at goose-hunters.
His anger was serious enough, it
is related, that he sought the ad-
vice of lawyers, and that he has
gone home, prepared for war if
necessary.
There is a pond on his place,
where the geese roost at night
time. Briar bushes are around the
spot, and hunting there is trans
cendene1y attractive as well as easy.
AS a result, the hunters round
about have shot there great deal
notwithstanding the fact that the
farm is p1astered all over with
trespass notices. which warn sports
men to stay away.
1t was all right with the farm
owner until he wanted a goose him
self. But the shooting was SO con
slant each evening that it dawned
on Foster that if he ventured down
he might get shot. Nevertheless.
he sailed down to the pond the
other night, feeling all the time
that there was danger in every
step. and sure enough as he got
near, chang, bang" went dozen
shots with geese and goose shot
flying in his and every other di-
rection. In consequence, he went
home without a goose, and madder
than if he had fallen over forty
rocking chairs. 1t is time now for
the neighbors to give Jesse chance
at his goose pond.

HUNTERS ARE DISGUSTED.
New Law Prohibits Killing of China
Pheasants What Hunters Saw.

AS for bottled wrath, there, is
more of it Corvallis now than there
has been in town since the coyote
and the red skin were the only
residents, There was more pro.
family and more threat of damage
to life and limb Thursday afternoon
and since that Carrie Nation could
arouse in four weeks raid on the
saloons of the country. Even
members of the church were heard
to say, ':darn," sDog On it." "by
jinks. y and whole lot more words
dreadful to hear. :
The whole trouble is over the
action of the legislature in passing
law which prohibits the killing
of China pheasants until the year
1906. The news came like a thun-
derclap in a clear sky, and it sent
every sportsmen in town on his feet
swearing like a sea captain. The
news spread over town like wild
fire and within an hour every hunt
er in town looked as though hewasto
start to the graveyard to sit awhile
among the headstoues in the dist
NAL evening time Ed Wilson ap-
peared as though suffering with a
bad attack of collie, and Sheriff
Burnett like some incurable ailment
had hold of him. The universal
verdict was9 that the legislature
had made a sublime donkey of
itself.
The new law passed with but
few votes against it. The argu-
ments used for it were that the
! pheasants were fast disappearing,
and that unless killing was prohib-
tied for time, they wonld disap-
pear. altogether. Representative
Cornut of Linn, combatted this as
sertion ard said there are as many
| pheasants now as at any time before
and that it the law should be passed
he should hate to go home among
| his constituents.
! @The law will only be effective in
increasing the number of law brea-
kers Pheasants will be killed re-
gardless of the law, the hunters
say, because they are plentiful, and
there was no reason for passage of
| the new act, They think the next
legislature will be prompt in re-
! pea1ing the measure.

~! Him in Corvallis Jail.
A big, raw-boned, tough-1ooking
husky. pretty well jagged, got off
the west-bound' c & E. trail, We'd
nesday. On the cars he had been
boisterous and disorderly. drinking
frequently from bottle and orher-
wise conducting himself in a dis
reputable manner He 1oafed about
the depot for a couple OF hours and
there made himself as disagreeable
as possible to parties in the vicinity
When it was suggested that he seek
hotel, he at once became belliger-
ent Station Agent Cronise tele-
phoned tor the police and Chief
Lane and Night Officer Osburn
were soon on the scene. The fell
low resisted arrest, aud it was fin
ally necessary to call the assistance
of several other persons and a dray.
After hard struggle he was bound
to the dray and thus conveyed to the
city Jail. Upon being freed when
the Jail door was about to be closed
he darted at Osburn as if to strike
that officer, but was intercepted in
time to save the ruffan a battered
skull, as Osburn had drawn back
with massive paddock in his.hand.
A search of the fellows person was
rewarded by $500 in cash. He
pretended to be from Butte, Mon
tana.

BEEF TRUST A
SURE THING
Plans for a Merger to Con-
troll the Worlds Trade
Completed.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-PIans are prac-
tically completed for the merging OF
the interests of the firms that comprise
the beef trusts, it is said. Unless some
thing unforeseen arises, April will see.
the official announcement of the In
corporation of a securities holding
company which eventually may control
the meat trade of the world.
Unlike the popular idea of the pack
ers merger, however, for the time be-
ing 1T is not to embrace everything in
sight nor is it to be capitalized at
100000 900, as announced for the Unit
ed States Packing company. Further.
the plans contemplate no friction with
the federal courts because Of the re-
cent decision by Judge Grosscup
against the packing house combination
The nucleus Of the combination is to
be the merger of the smaller indepen-
dent plants bought last year by the
big packers preparatory to the general
merger planned at that time. The Sc
curities to be held by the new corpor-
alton are those of the G. H. Hamond
Packing company, the Omaha Packing
company, the Anglo Flower
companies, the st. Louis Beef company,
the United Dressed Beef company and
possibly several of the outside stock
yards now controlled by the Chicago
interests.
Chicago will be the headquarters or
the combination, but as far as the pub
lie is concerned there will be no i'm
mediate change in the operation of the
individual plants under the new re
gime. 1t is planned to head the new
securities company with present off,
cials of the individual companies, in
stead of the big packers themselves,
or those Immediately associated with
them in the big six companies.
The slate of officials for the securi-
ties company is said to contain the
names of ]. G.. Melvin and ]. P. Ly-
man, of the Hammond company Fred
erick Cowan, of the Anglo American,
and E. F. Robbins, of the Omaha Pack
ing company.
Probably the last named will be
chairman of the board of directors. 1t
is not known definitely what will be
the capital of the securities holding
company, but it is thought the figure
will be in excess of the purchase price
of the companies to be combined, prob
ably something like $50,000,00

COAL BARON COERCION
Failure of Attempt to Force Operator
to Sell to a Certain Connanv.


to Sell to a Certain Company.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. %
Justice Dean in the ~supreme court to-
day handed down a decree in the case
of c. D. Lorraine VS.. the Pittsburg,
JohnstOwn, Ebensburg & Eastern Rail-
way company, reversing the decision of
the common pleas court of Clearfield
county, which was in favor of the de-
PENDANT. The plaintiff is a soft coal
operator on the line of the railroad,
which is his only outlet to the market.
On Nov. 10 the company notified Mr..
Lorraine that on the following day, I'M
less he sold his coal to the American
Union Coal company, which is con-
trolled by the president of the railroad
company, no cars would be furnished
him. He was offered $3.50 a ton by
She American Union company, and
claimed to be able to demand $500 in
the open market.
Mr.. Lorraine applied to the Clearffeld
county courts for a writ of mandamus
against the railroad company to COM
pei the latter to supply him with cars.
The petition was dismissed because
the suit was not instituted by the at
torney general of the state and be-
cause the defendant company was not
a corporation in Clearfield county
alone.
Justice Dean decided that the COM
pany was bound to furnish cars as a
common carrier, and ordered the is
suance of the writ of mandamus.
