RAILROAD ERGEIS is
lLLEGAL.

In the United States Supreme Court
Monday an opinion was delivered in the
merger case of the Northern Securities
Company, VS.. the United States in favor
of the governments contention that the
merger is illegal The opinion of tie
court was handed down by Justice Har-
Ian and it upheld the decree of the Circuit
Court for the district of Minnesota in
every particular. Four of the justices
diisented from the five constituting the
ma jority.
The division in the court was due to a
difference of opinion as to the right of
federal control of state corporations. The
majority opinion proceeded on the theo-
ry that Congress has right under the
constitution to control interstate com
merce, no matter by whom conducted,
while the minority, or dissenting opinion
was based on the theory that in the pres
ent case the effect is to regulate the own
ership of railroad stocks by state corpora
tions, and that such ownership is not
interstate traffic.
The decision was by bare majority
Justice Harlan was supported by Justices
Brown, McKenna, Day and Brewer, the
last named concurring for reasons differ
ent from those of the others. Chief JUS
tice Fuller, Justices White, Peckham and
Holmes dissented.
The effect is to sustain the contention
that the Sherman anti trust law applies
to railroad combinations of the character
in question.
The merger case has attracted more at
tention than any other suit before the
Supreme Court since the first insular
cases were decided. 1t has been regard
ed by bench and bar US equal in impor
lance with those cases and with the i'll
come tax case. 1t was argued in Deem
Der last for two days and attracted gen
eral attention at that time, as it did pre-
viously when the decision was rendered
by the Circuit Court for the District OF
Minnesota.
The action was brought in the Circui,
Court under the law of February II, 1908
which was for the purpose of expeGiting
the case, and was heard by the four cir
cult judges of the circuit. They united
in a decision favorable to the United
States and opposed to the contentious OF
the railroad companies.
The suit was instituted by the United
States against the Northern Securities
Company and the two railroad compa
n les, the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern, and their leading stockholders
fol the purpose of dissoving the merger
of the two 70 .ds which the United States
claimed had been created by the creation
of a holding cempany-the Securities
Company After the fight which causeo
the Northern Pacific panic of May 9
1901, this consolidation was claimed to be
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law. 1t was claimed on behalf of the
Government that this consolidation was
in effect pool created to promote inter
ests, not of one system at the expense OF
the other, but of both at the expense Of
the public The railroads claimed tina,
the transfer of the stock of the two com
panies of the Securities Company was in
the nature of a sale and perfectly legiti-
mate.

ARE RESPONSIBLE TO LAW.

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the Northern Sc
curities case, says the Baltimore
american, is not only OF vital i'm
portance as to its effect on the rail
road properties of the great Northwest
but also on account of its bearing on
the other corporations and combines
which can be put into the same class.
1t must be taken as proving that there
is law in the land higher and more
powerful than any and all Of them-a
law which they must obey, one none
of them will be allowed to disregard
with IMMUNITY. This does not mean
that the law will interfere with any OF
the legitimate business of companies
that are properly organized, but 1t
does mean that corporations cannot be
brought into a combine for such mo-
nopoly and restriction of trade that
would render competition impossible.
The decision must also serve, at least
indirectly, as a pro ection to stock
holders who invest in the securities OF
these companies, and who have hereto
fore been given little or no considera-
ton in the mergers, combines and 9th
er deals that have been made without
their consent and sometimes without
their knowledge. From this decision
all stockholders, even those OF the
smallest holdings, 10y learn that
there is abundant law for their pro-
lection against the improper use OF
their investments.
While it is a matter Tor regret that
the decision was given by the bare
majority of one and that Chief justice
Fuller was against the ruling, yet
none the less does the important doc
ument become the supreme law OF the
land. Every contention made by the
government has been sustained the
victory of Attorney General Knox
and his associates is complete, and the
course of The Republican adminlstra-
ton in dealing with the trust prob
lens has been fully approved. The
right of Congress to make laws for the
regulation, not only Of trade, but OF
corporations formed to carry on trade
is also clearly set forth, and the way
is rtw oren for the adoption OF more
satisfactory methods of dealing with
the many questions that have arisen
stree the era of trusts began.
There can he no doubt that this de-
cislon will prove for the best interests
of the country. 1t is in accord with
the will and wish of til great majority
of the American people, who have
watched with considerable alarm the
increase in the powers of monopolies
for the control of business and inclden.
tally, for the restraint Of trade, and
who have sometimes feared that these
great combines would be allowed to
become a law unto themselves. This
opinion will render necessary and will
no doubt quickly bring about read
justment of many properties patterned
after the Hill railroads, and this read
iustment must be ef such character
as to throw down the bars to competi-
ton and encourage. not repress, trade
In this way and in others must the de-
ci sion be regarded as triumph for
the people-one that must prove
powerful factor in the future welfare
and development Of this great and
growing land.

MADE A '''' STRIKE. Prospectors Returnfrom
 White River. A RICH COUNTRY What a Prospecting Party Found l75 Miles From the Mouth
 of the River.
A RICH COUNTRY

Dawson. Oct. 2S.-A party of four prOspectOrs, J. J. Furlong, John Boor- man. Tom Carninal and man named Montgomery, arrived in a small boat Tuesday night from the headwaters of the White river, having been absent from Dawson two months, lacking one day The leader of the party was Furlong, d sourdough of the vintage of l895
 When seen last night at the Regina, Furlong was very reticent regarding what his party had found, as he has no desire to start a stampede. However, he expects to return just as soon'as the rivers freeze up. The party was up the White river about 175 miles above the mouth and above the upper canyon in American territory.
 The pssty made rich discovery, but as FurlOng says, no one could ever go to it as it is back in the interior from the river 9 miles, and in a very noun tainous country. Another discovery the party made was that of an outfit comprising sugar, baking powder, cooking utensils and P calibre rifle strapped to a pack. There was also @ pocketbook in the pack which contained some papers. The book was brought to Dawson and will be turned over to the police today and may possible be the means of establishing the identity of the owner, who the party finding the pack is firmly convinced has been lost in the White river.
 Furlong says that game is very plen- tiful in that country, moose being as numerous there us rabbits on Cotton wood island. but owing to the shallow water they were unable to bring any moose home with them. They brought head of a big-horned mountain sheep, the horns of which measure 14 inches around at the base. The animal was as white as snow, it's species being found only in that particular mountain range.
 The party was seven days coming down White river, as owing to the very low water Furlong says they would have to get out every few rods and pull their boat over bars. In the entire basin of the White river there was practically no rain this year, all the streams enter- ing it being almost dry. The last three days of the trip down the river was full of slush ice. Furlong reports Indian and Sixty-mile rivers as being both l frozen over at the mouth.
