Profits Of Standard Oil.

In the twenty-three years of its ex-
istence the Standard Oil company has
paid 1863, O65, 900 in dividends on its
800, DOC, 900 of stock. This 1896 ,O65,-
600 is considerably more than me
fifth Of all the money--gold. silver
and paper in the United States.
The 1896, O65, 900 hitherto distributed
does not Representative total profits of
the oil trust. What its surplus and I'm.
divided profits are no one outside of
the innermost hierarchy of the oil kings
knows. Nor is there any means of
knowing how much is spent each year
in lobbying and in influencing legis-
lation, in crushing competition and
strengthening the grip Of the trust on
its monopoly.
BY far the larger part of the Stan
dard Oil profits have been accumu-
lated in the last nine and a quarter
years. Prior to 1896 the total divi.
dends paid amounted t o less than
$3.50, 600, 600. Since that date the profits
have been on such a scale that the
total is astounding.

IN:IDAHO.
h Payettc-BOise Project Will Reclaim a
VaStT Tract Of.Land.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Pay.
ettee'Boise irrigation project in Idaho
has received the formal approval of
the secretary of the interior, who re.
Gently set aside the sum of 81, 300, 600
for initiating the work of construction.
This action on the part Of the secre-
tary has been anticipated for some
time, and is largely the result of the
enterprise OF the citizens of that sec.
ton.
For more than a year the landown.
ers. organized into a water users as.
sociation, have labored indefatig ably
to harmonic the many conflicting
claims of private interests in lands,
canals and water rights, with the re-
suit that today practically the valley
as a unit stands pledged to the gov.
eminent enterprise.
Briefly stated, the Payette. Boise
project provides for the reclamation
OF $4,000 acres of land in these val
leys, 5000 0 acres of which are now
in a desert condition. The estimated
5 of the entire system is $40, 7732, 600,
or an average cost not to exceed $50
per acre for the land which has no
facilities at present for irrigation.
This amount includes maintenance
for 10 years, also the value of exist.
ing works which would be utilized but
which would not have to be paid for
by the government, and the purchase
of rights of way which will have to be
provided from the reclamation fund.

ers of 1904, says Mr.. Sargent, abou,
81 per cent, stayed here In New YORK
city, about 81 per ent settled in the
states of New York, New Jersey, Con
neticut, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island
and Pennsylvania: the south Atlantic
states got ) per cent: the south cen.
trail division got about Il per cent.
the western division got 6 per cent.
If it is admitted that the six states
which got two.thirds of this incoming
body need them less than the country
further west, it is much more clear
that this city does not need one-third.
Here this influx of foreigners creates
Quarters" where the inhabitants re.
tain their language, their habits, their
clannishness, their utter ignorance of
the constitution and limitation of free
dom. They may become voters but
they do not really become American
citizens. They remain as an undiges.
ted and non.assimilable mass, fruitful
of disturbance and danger in the body
polite. Our civilization ends here,
because it obtains no opportunity to
work: and wherever we have a mass of
foreign life which persistently remains
foreign, We may say, without exagger.
alton, that a part Of the political walls
of the country are laid on insecure
foundations.
In part, the immigrants stop here
because of greg ariousness in human
nature: but in part, doubtless from
lack Of a definite aim and knowledge
what to do. An exhibition with
trained guides and Interpreters, which
should show them, by an object lesson
and sample, what the country is they
have longed for and have at last
reached, would be to them what a re.
lief map Is to an educated observer.
This might bring together the broad
acres which need hands, and the
hands which can do best for
their owners upon the virgin acres.
The idea is certainly worthy of trial.
1t implies taking the immigrantin hand
and trying TO make out Of the raw ma
terial he brings better service than is
likely to result from leaving him to
himself in a strange land. 1t agrees
in its foresight with the pioneering
in which many of the rail
ways Of the west and southwest have
been engaged for some years, and it
to enlist their support.-Dun's

Chicago ia>ors Municipal Ownership,

street railways of Chicago was the
principal issue in the municipal cleo
ton held here today. Franchises es.
timated to be worth > 1000. 900, 900 We're

can candidate for mayor. favored a
tentative arrangement with the trac.

municipal ownership, while Judge Ed

date stood for immediate ownership
by the city. The latter was the victor.
The plurality for Dunno was e-t!.

crat. defeated Stewart, republican, by

AN OBJECT LESSON FOR IMMIGRANTS

Mr.. f. +. Sargent, general commits
sioner of immigration, will present to
congress Il scheme for the construction
OF an exhibition hall on Ellis Island,
where state fairs on a condensed scale
will be held, in order that the indus
trial of the grea, sections
which need settlers may be displayed
to the immigrant at the time of his ar
rival. Here, according to the enthusi.
astic ideas of Commissioner Wa,choru
at the island, the agricul,urist will see
where the products with which he is
best acquainted are grown in the
greatest abundance. the mechanic will
see where he is most wanted, and the
miner will have his destination ready
chosen for him by natural fitness.
According to the plan, the ~governmeu,
will and control the hall, but the
states and commercial bodies therein
will install the exhibits: Il corps OF
guides will be required and some of
the states, it is thought, may feel
enough interest to keep representatives
on the spot.
AT least the idea is most interesting.
and it is not difficult for imagination
to see the uewly.arrived refugee from
industrial or political conditions
abroad receiving in his first impress
sions, what must seem to him Il cor.
dial welcome. The tide of immigra.
ton does not seem to be declining
any. In 1904, over Cos, 900 passed
through Ellis Island, and Mr.. Wat
chorn thinks the figure will approx.

CATTLE MUST BE DIPPED.

While many Montana stockmen be.
lieve the federal regulations relative
to the dipping OF cattle for mango are
unnecessarily strict, they will be re.
quired to comply with them the coming
season. 1t was hoped q modification
OF the order would be made by the
bureau OF animal industry, but it ap.
pears that government officials will in.
sist that cattle which have been affect
ed with mango or which have been ex.
posed to the disease, must undergo
the prescribed treatment: otherwise
they will not be permitted to be shipped
out of the state.
Acting under the authority conferred
upon it by state law, the Montana
board of stock commissioners has
made regulations providing for the
dipping of diseased cattle IN every
part Of the state. The new rules are
announced in the form of resolutions
adopted at a recent meeting of the
board, and are to this effect:
"Be it resolved that it is the sense
of this committee that the president of
