Mr. ~fFving 'h Russell.

 "The Securities company will as soon as practicable be abandoned" continues the statement, and the securities of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific companies will be exchanged back for the securities originally deposited. The effect of the decision so far as the roads in question are concerned will not be im- portant, as their absolute independence of operation has not been disturbed The decision will merely mean the. restoration of a community of ownership in the place of the more formal and more permanent form of corporate ownership"

The impression appears 10 be growing
throughout the state that The Standard
OH Company will make an effort during
the session OF the legislature which meets
next January To have the state oil inspcc-
ton law repealed.
This law was enacted by the legislature
n year ago last winter and had scarcely
gone into effect When Il was attacked IN
the courts by the STANDARD Oil Tom

aliiy OF the law the Standard Oh tom-
pany shipped into the state n quantity
OF oil which was alleged 90 have been OF
an inferior grade.
The shipment was inspected and re-
jectcd by Emil Branch. the state oil in-
spector, aud the Standard Oil Company
promptly instituted an action In the Unit
ell States court In Sioux Falls for the
purpose Of testing the constitutionality
Of the new law. +,

court. Special examiners were appointed
by Judge Garland. Of the United states
court, Ia take testimony In the case IN
