Government Counsel Holds 1t SUI.
fcient to Justify Action Against
Northern Securities Company.
CASE SUBMITTED TO COURT.
Attorney Watson Closes His Argu-
ment at Noon-Decision May
Be Delivered Here or at
st. Paul.

D. T. Watson Of PittsburE. special coun-
| sci for the Government c,osed his argu-
| ment In the Northern Securities case in the
! United States Circuit Court of Appeals at
I l2:5o p. m. yesterday. The case was then
| submitted 10 the court which. without COM
| ment, ordered an adjournment to 10 o'clock
| tomorrow.
Attorney Watsons address yesterday was
| TO denolish the contention of counsel for
| the Northern Securities Company that the
| Charter Issued by New Jersey, under which
the company sought to operate, did not con-
| fer on II the authority to merge the two
| roads. in defiance OF the laws Of the United
States and the State OF Minnesota.
He said that the legal representatives
who drew up the charter. IL they had this
purpose in mind which in the light Of later
events seemed probable, should have stated
their purposes explicitly In the charter so
that there could be no doubt In constituting
the powers conferred upon the company.
The contention OF opposing counsel that
the absorption of the stock Of the two roads
by the fSorthern Securities Company was
not an ectual merger of the roads. but OF
the stock alone. he characterized as mere
Quibblins ard splitting of hairs.
WAS ACTUAL MERGER.
The acquisition of the stock Of the com
pe,tng roads, he argued. was virtual and
actual merging OF the roads themselves,
the ultimate purpose OF which was a
monopoly of the business origina ting in the
territory tapped by each. 1t was not neces-
esry. he said, for corporation formed for
the purpose OF inonopoiizing trade or
straining interstate commerce to commit
any overt act to bring It within the provi
sions OF the Sherman antitrust act or the
int0rst6te commerce act.
1t was sufficient that the corporation was
formed. and that 1t had the power to do
any OF the things prohibited BY Congress-
to Justify the Government In proceeding
against II.
Continuing. he said that II the Northern
Securities Company was allowed to remain
und!sturbed in the merger Of these two
roads, there was nothing to prevent the men
behind Il from consolidating the railroad
systems OF the entire country and become
absolute dctators of the transportation OF
the entire Union and the final arbiters OF all
matters of policy connected with the op-
Grafton ana maintenance Of railroads.
STOCK WIPED OUT
1.-THE stock OF the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific" lie said, has been
virtually wiped out, and supplanted by
stock of the Northern Securities Company.
This company has absolute control over
these competing lines. and has the power
to dictate terms by which every pound of
traffic Will be transported over these roads,
Most of the attorneys who appeared in
the case departed for their homes last
night Assistant Attorney General Beck
will depart this morning.
Judge Sanborn will depart for St. Paul
this evening. The decision in the case may
be delivered there.

Much Of the evidence taken by the COM

NEW NEVADA
inc Southern Pacific Company Publishes the
Resources Of the State.

The Southern Pacific Compa-
ny has just published a neat lit
tie pamphlet entitled THE New
Nevada" a few copies of which
are being sent to the press of the
State. The little book is printed
on fine paper, contains sixty odd
pages and is profusely illustrat-
ed with excellent half-tone pic
lures of prominent features in
the State, and is chock full of in
teresting reading matter. The
data was mostly gathered by
Division Freight Agent Fulton,
Prot. N. E. Wilson, of the Uni
versity Experiment Station, and
Land Agent R. L. Fulton put
the most of it in shape for the
printer. The company has print
ed $4,000 copies of the folder
for free distribution, and they
will be used chiefly IN the East.
The distribution of this folder
will be sure to advertise the re-
sources of the STATE as never be-
fore, and it is evidence that the
company is fully awake to the
business possibilities in Nevada.
The people should feel grateful
for this advertising. 1t is what
Nevada needs just at this time.
1t will answer many of the
thousands of inquiries now be-
ing made about Nevada. Many
man in the East has his atten-
ton attracted this way, and the
right information will bring him.
1t would be money well invested
if the various Boards of County
Commissioners would authorize
and pay for advertising schemes
similar to that inaugurated by
the Southern Pacific Company.
