About the time of the arrest Of the

Geographic columns of the Journal OF
We sterday the Portland officers of the
company managers of the Portland
office of the company were stopped
from doing business. The Portland
branch of the North American Trust
has been under the surveillance of the
Maine state officials since last Monday
when Bank Examiner F. h. Timberlake
went to Portland and called at the office
which is located at 51S Congress street.
ana asked To examine the books of the
concern and to look over their Literal
ture. Mr. Timberlalle was satisfied at
once that all was not right and so he
told the managers of the office,
Messrs. W. f. Cooper. a man of about
A. years of age, and another named
Oak. about SO years of age, both having
, come from Boston about a month ago
to open the Portland branch. that he
| would give them until Thursday of this
week to prove to him that they were
| conducting Il legitimate business.
According to the investigation made
| by Examiner Timberlake the Portland
| branch had collected almost $3.50, and
| the examiner says that the business
was opening up well and had they been
| allowed to go unmolested they would
have been taking in at least $125 per
week during the next few weeks. The
| branch Office of the Trust was located
ut SIS Congress street, up one flight of
| about Is by 80 feet, and was well light
ed by bow window. The office was
| handsomely fitted up. Neither Mr..
| Timbcrlake nor his assistant. Mr.. Ellis,

ment on Friday, so that no statement
concerning tn" case was obtainable.

Donald rang the little bronze

GOOD RAlLRoAD news.

THE FILING Of a $50, 600 600 mortgage
1 to secure a bond issue Of that
amount by the Western Pacific rail-
road is the best possible indication that
the promoters Of the road mean bust
ness; that they are going to build the
line as they have said all along they
would build it. It is announced that
the proceeds OF the bond issue are TO
be devoted to the construction of the
Western Pacific, with one terminal in
san Francisco and the other in salt
Lake city
A considerable percentage Of the
money viii be spent I'm Salt Lake and
Utah. According 70 a statement pub

A TIMELY PROTEST.

T HE PROTEST entered by Governor
Wells against the omission of the
name of Professor John J. Mcclellan
from the list Of organists who are to
give recitals on the Festival hall organ
at the Louisiana Purchase exposition
was most timely. We believe with the
governor that the omission was entire
~ uHintentionaI but it should be recti-
fed at once. Professor Mcclellan
should be on the list because he is thor
oughly worthy OF a place there. As an
organist he ranks easily among the
very foremost.
This is aside from sentimental rea-
sons. Professor Mcclellan has given
freely of his time and his talents for
the pleasure OF. tourists from every part
Of the world. At all times he has been
ready and willing to give recitaIs on
the tabernacle organ without money
and without price. Thousands Of Wis
itors have just one recollection Of Utah
that viii cling TO them always. That
is the recollection of the tabernacle or

ON DRIVING tbs HEARsE.

UTN THE DEMOCRATIC party the
L great question is, who shall drive
the hearsee" said q speaker at the
meeting of the National Republican
Editorial association the other day.
The speaker did not say who would oc-
cupy the hearse, but we are inclined 20
think that this year the occupant Of
that vehicle politically speaking, viii
be the Republican candidate for the
presidency. in this hearse business it
makes a lot of difference where you
ride
II you have & position on the box
seat where you can say ''giddap'' to
the horses the chances are that you'll
come back from the cemetery at the
conclusion Of the ceremonies. If you
are so unfortunate as to be on the in
side OF the vehicle it is not at all likely
that you'll take any interest in the pro
ceedings. Therefore, why shouldn't
there be some controversy among the
Democrats for the honor Of driving the
hearse2
The position IS one Of no little prom
inence and respectability. The first
person enc sees in any funeral process
sion IS the driver of the hearse- He
usually sits Up there on the box with a
silk hat on and other trimmings" and
he thoroughly enjoys his view of the
scenery going out and coming back.
The smile of our Republican friend
strikes us as rather inappropriate.
There certainly is going to be some
mourning done, but if the Democrat Is
are half sensible this year they won't
be the mourners They'll just be in
charge Of the obsequies.

eATTLe &c ZEE.

y ARAPHRASING A WE'LL known
line from Tom Hood we might
say: "Oh. God. that beef that is
dressed should be so dear and beef
on the h0of SO cheap" Representative.
Martin Of South Dakota has introduced
in the house q resolution requesting
the secretary OF commerce and -lahor
to investigate the causes fOr the wide
discrepancy since July /, 19oss between
the price of cattle on the hoof. ana the
price Of dressed beef.
The secretary viii not have 20 look
very far or very long. Anybody VINO is
at all familiar with the situation win
tell him that the discrepancy is caused
by the meat trust. This trust. as Rep
resentative Martin doubtless knows,
fixes the price Of cattle on the hoof. Il
also fixes the price OF dressed beef.
From its decisions there IS 10 appeal.
The cattle raiser must take the price
offered him or keep his cattle. The
purchaser of dressed beef must pay
what the trust demands OF go without
dressed beef.
Having the situation entirely in its
own hands It is not surprising that
the trust should make the most of it.
And yet there are people who win
tell you there is no meat trust. Let
one OF them go TO Chicago or Kansas
City or omaha or any other dressed
meat centre and try to sell cattle he
viii find buyers representing several
different houses, of course. But he
viii md that the price offered by the
first buyer he approaches is the price
offered by ali the others; he will find.
if he looks into the matter a little. that
the buyers meet every day and agree
on the price they win pay for cattle
No. this is not a trust Il is just
a simple method of destroying COM
petition, a method OF grinding the pro-
ducer On one side and the consumer
on the other. If Representative Mar
tin is really in earnest he win intro
duce a bin repeating the duty of two
cents a pound on dressed meats of all
kinds 50 that we can import the Can
adian and Mexican products in COM
petition with our meat trust. The pas
sage of such measure would be a
long step in the direction of smash
ing one Of the most unhoIy combina-
tions in the United states.
