W. F. & Y. R. Makes Good Showing to Stockholders

The general meeting of the share holders of the White Pass X Yukon Railway Company, which owns nearly all of the stock of the four companies which make up The White Pass S Yu- kon Route. which was held in London, October 3l. disclosed a very healthy condition of the company. While the gross income of the couPau;a, had dt- miuished it was because of the decrease in freight and passenger rates and not because of a decline in the volume of the business transacted. The dividends for the last two years have been re- duced from 8 per cent. to 4 per cent, !. but it must be taken into account that more of the net income has been ap- piled to interest on bonds and a sluHing fund to meet the bonds when due than in the payment of dividends to the e stscuHolders. Then a large surplus Is RI Ju hand all the time, and nearly S OO year Is taken from the earn i1 for permanent improvement s

ROCKEFELLER METHOD
EFFORT TO CRUSH AN INDEPEND-
EMIT OIL COMPANY.
standard suffers Loss of 100000 in Or
der 10 stamp Out Competition
at Augusta,
Georgia.

Augusta, Ga. June 16.-one week
ago the local manager of the Stand
ard Oil Company, in order to crush out
the opposition of the Peoples Independ-
emit Company offered to sell all stand
ard goods half a cent under any price
offered by the local company.
Up to noon to-day 10000 barrels of
oil had been placed for the Standard
company by brokers here, which COM
pared with the prices a week ago fig-
ures a loss to the Standard company of
$500. 900.
The brokers company, to whom the
offer was made, have sought the opin-
ions of attorneys who declare the en-
pa gement binding although the Stand
ard to-day declared the agreement was
NOT binding because made by the local
manager and not accepted at head
quarters. Brokers to-day have been
rusbed with orders from Atlanta, Sa-
vennab. Macon, Columbia and Charles
ton with orders for thousands of bar
reIs and It is believed the aggregate
sales will go to 100000 barrels before
tomorrow.
The local company quoted lSgher
grades of Iubricating oils at ten cents,
which 1t is stated cannot be bought at
the refineries in the largest quantities
for anything near that figure. Under
the agreement the Standard must sell
these grades for lac gallon.

ARKANSAS PLATFORM.
Hot Springs Convention Defers Natfon-

Hot sprfuxs Conventfon Defers NRffon-
nj Matters to ST. Louis Meeting.
Hot Springs. Ark, June ie.-After
spending three hours In discussion OF
the platform committees report. the
Democratic State convention adjourn
ed this afternoon after adopting the
platform as recommended. The plat
form says in part:
THE Democracy Of Arkansas. in con-
vention assembled renews its aliegi-
ance to the fundamental principles OF
government as expressed in Democrat
ic platforms throughout the existence
of the party and accepts the platform
of principles adopted by the last DEM
ocratic National Convention as bind
ing upon us as Democrats until chang
ed by succeeding national conventions.
In view of the near approach of the
national convention of the Democratic
party at st. Louis, we defer to that
body more specific declaration OF
principles upon national questions and
pledge the Democratic party OF Arkan-
sas to an acceptance and cordial en-
dorsement OF the same.
Among the declarations on national
questions the platform says:
1--WE condemn President Roosevelt
among other things. especially for his
public and private conduct tending to
stir up bitterness between the differ
emit sections of the country and to make
the negro believe that he Is the social
and other equal OF the white man.
The platform reaffirms the declara-
ton of former national and State Dem
ocratic conventions against trusts
pools. combinations and conspiractes
against trade whereby prices or rates
are fixed in restraint in any wise of the
freest open competition in any species
OF business. A plank was adopted to the
effect that hereafter the candidate for
United States Senator who receives the
highest vote In the primary election
shall be declared the party nominee for
that once.
The course Of the two United states
senator's from Arkansas Is approved in
connection with the ratification of this
, treaty with Panama that makes pos
slble at this time the construction Of
the isthmian waterway"
