Argues Against the Modification.
st. Paul, April 21-Judge Sanborn
OF the federal court of appeals has
granted the application of the North
ern Securities company for a modifica
ton of the decree against it rendered
by the circuit court to the extent OF
permitting it to pay it's May dividend.
A bond of $4,000 was filed pending an
appeal to the United States supreme
court.
District Attorney Houpt objected to
the hearing of the application by Judge
Sanborn. He contended it should be
heard by not less than two judges.
The Northern Securities was seeking
to nullify vital portion of the decree
and this, he submitted, required a
majority of the court.
Judge Sanborn Interrupted to say
that he was not DESTROYS of settling
the point alone and that he had OBJ
tanned the opinion of Judge Thayer,
the only other judge in the circuit at
present. Judge Thayer had, in &C.
cordance with his request, sent a writ.
ten opinion.
Mr.. Houpt proceeded with a discus.
sion of the terms of the decree, which,
he said, enjoined the defendants from
doing something contrary to the policy
or law of the nation. The Injunction
prevented the defendants from doing
something adjudged illegal, and this
the supersedeas bond would, for the
time, nullify, if granted.
The defendants argued that failure
to pay dividends would mean loss in
the value of the stock on the money
market. This, he claimed, was not
valid ground. The question was, is
this business injurious to the public
and, if it is, it must stop, regardless OF
loss to the stockholders. If the stock
went down it would be to the misfor
tune of the holders, but the United
States could take no cogniZance of it.
Immediately after the order had
been granted the formal appeal of the
Northern Securities company against
the other portions of the decree was
filed, and the whole case is thus trans
ferred to the supreme court. Accom-.
panying the appeal papers was bond
for $4,000, furnished by the National
Security company. Thirty-four points
of error are alleged.

New York, April 21.-It is presumed

the Tribune, that if the Canadian tariff
proposals become law the German
government will at once obtain au-
thority from the reichstag to apply a
special prohibitory tariff on all i'm

gans of the German press declare that
the British government is the real
author OF Canada's behavior toward
Germany, and they advise retaliatory

their efforts IT, secure mutual tele-
phone exchange. Many people
living along the proposed route
have signed contracts to become
subscribers, and the business men
of Dallas have extended liberal
financial aid. The Salt Greek peo-
pie are desirous of connecting their
line with the BallstUn rural ex.
change, but before they do SO it
will be necessary for the members
of the latter exchange to show an
interest in the matter by assisting
them to small extent in a financial
way. Otherwise they will, 80 the
OBSERVER is informed, build their
line TO Dallas and leave the Ballston
gap open until such time as the
latter exchange sees fit to assist
in the movement to close it. The
first four miles Of the route out Of
Dallas lies in the hills, and from
this portion Of the line no revenue
whatever will be received. The
Salt Greek people say that all that
they ask of Dallas is to assist them
in building these four miles. This,
they claim, is all that Dallas can
rightfully be called upon to do.
They urge that the line to the
county seat will benefit every sub
scriber to the Ballston exchange,
and that it is only fair that the
latter should assist in small way
in the expense of its construction.
The completion of the line from
Dallas to Ballston would prove of
great benefit to all parties con-
cerned, and the OBSERVER hopes to
see the matter amicably adjusted,
so that work may begin at once.

The editor Of the OBSERVER is re-
ceiving large number Of con-
gratulatory letters and messages
from his brethren of the press and
other friends throughout the North
west upon the result of Mondays
city election. These letters are APP
preciated more deeply than any
words can express, for in every
instance there are kind words for
Dallas, and recognition of her posi-
ton as one of the coming manu-
featuring cities OF Oregon. No
town on the Coast stands higher
than Dallas for its up-to-date ideas
and spirit Of progressiveness, and
it is matter of surprise to out
siders that Folks Capitol has SO
long neglected to install the most
needed of all public conveniences-
a system of waterworks.
