Practically every dollar Of it has been
invested where it has earned other dol
lars. Many of them. directed by the
keen trading instinct Of their owner,
have multiplied themselves threefold
within the past dozen years. One OF the
advantages Of aggregated wealth is that
it enables it's possessor in times OF
panic or depression to purchase valuable
properties cheaply and by the simple
process of holding them until better
times to realize a multiplied return on
the investment.
Three-Fold Profit in Iron.
Mr.. Rockefeller has done this In many
instances. A notable case was that of
his iron ore properties. During the de-
preston of 1893 he bought. cheaply for
cash. the ore lands of Lake Superior and
the Minnesota ranges. He improved the
mining equipment, built great docks and
invested in huge ore carriers on the
great lakes. When the era of high
prices came along on the prosperity
wave of 1900 and the United States Steel
corporation was organized Mr. Rookie
Teller sold out. The $25,00O,O 900 which
Mr.. Rockefeller has in one form or an
other Of steel holdings may be said to
represent almost entirely profits on his
investment of dozen years ago. 1t is
understood that in addition to his inter-
ests in the United States Steel corpora
ton, however, he has very large hold
ings in the Lackawanna Steel company,

Seventy per cent. of the Japanese

The working of this is simple and

posit it in banks mostly. and when q
national loan is called for, are pre-
pared to loan the government the very

to this the fact that all the powder

featured at home, and It is evident
why there is but 80 per cent left to 70

good many people are beginning TO

with the industrial commission. But
the most severe shaking up it has re-
ceived in its history was that given it
by Monnett, and though it was bit
ter pill for the Standard to swallow.
it had the grim satisfaction at the next
election of defeating Monnettf for reelec-
ton as attorney general, and forcing
him into private life.
Monnett is as familiar with the
Standard Oil business as anyone out
side of the company itself, and Kan
sas has turned to the one man who
has given Standard black eye.
The Ohio man is now at Topeka and
will aid in the fight. He will assist

Jerome is preparing to bring proceed

Standard in an effort to indict them

1873 Of the penal code.
Secretary Hitchcock. head of the in
terror department, and ex-Secretary
Hoke Smith are being drawn into the
fight, too, through the blanket lease of
100000 acres Of oil lands in Indian
territory granted to the Standard for
ten years by Smith in 1896 Mr..
Hitchcock says this deal is public
scandal, and Mr.. Smith replies that
the field had not been tested and that
there was little hope of finding oil.
But the upshot of it all may be that
the Standard may lose part or all of
its valuable Usage leases
Even Paul Morton may not escape
the investigation of Standard OIL

been filed against the Atchison, To-

amusing diversion, to have in time
crushed all opposition and forced the
people and the state into submission.
John D. Rockefeller has been laugh
ing up his sleeve and serenely waiting
1t has amused him to read in the pa
pers that the Kansas Legislature had
appropriated $4,000 for the estab-
lishment of state refinery to buck
against his $250,0O0,00O company. He
has been annoyed, perhaps, at the eff
fort to NEEDLE with his pipe lines, but
he has felt confident that the i end
would come in victory for him and the
establishment of his company in the
state on firmer basis than ever before
He has mapped out campaign of
waiting. This great financier, this
$3.50, 600, 600 money bags, can afford to
wait, for his dollars work while he
sleeps, and he can keep busy banking
the $4,000. 900 yearly income from his
Investments while the poor Kansans
see their $4,000 refinery a sink hole
into which to pour the wealth Of the
state and the Independent producers
there brought to state of SUBJ
mission where they will be willing to
make peace at Rockefeller's own
terms. and if reports are to be credited
Rockefeller's terms are never generous
except to the interests of Rockefeller
himself. He is never satisfied, it is
said. unless he can buy at ruinously
low prices and sell at figures which
tell the story Of fair co profit of
several hundred per cent.
Kansas Fires the First Gun.
Kansas seems to be always doing
things which other states are afraid
to do, or never think Of doing, and she
has fired the first gun In this tre-
mendous war, and, as Lincolns call
to arms in 81 was met by the cry
from the different states: 1--WE are
coming, Father Abraham, 100000
strong" SO the sound Of Kansas first
shot at the oil octopus has aroused

too. that are not included in any of the
above classiications, such as that of
the big insurance companies, steamship
and telegraph and building corporations
and other things, as the department
store advertisements say, too numerous
to mention.
Taking into account all these wide
spread interests. it is not difficult to
figure out that John D. Rockefeller IS
already possessed of upward of $780,
100000, or that, with the power which
his vast wealth gives him of buying
cheaply when prices are at rock bot
tom and when financial stress compe!s
the holders of particular properties to
let them go, he will become a full
fledged Millionaire within another ten
years. if he lives SO long. Indeed. the
accumulation of his yearly income OF
$30: 000,000, or thereabouts. will carry
him to that point without any allowance
for the appreciation OF the properties in
which his money is invested such as Is
certain to occur.

ing chronologically the growth of Mr..
Rockefeller's fortune it would read about

Two important items OF John D.
Rockefellers fortune are frequently
overlooked in making computations OF
his wealth. These are his holdings Of
real estate and mortgages and of GOV
eminent and municipal bonds Both are
so vast that II we undertook to follow
out the threads that lead to them. they
would take MS to every part of the Unit
ed States and across the Atlantic.
: While Mr.. Rockefeller's real estate
holdings would amount to probably
$4,000, 900, such investment does not
prove very attractive venture for this
astute financier. He prefers to let tho
other fellow own the real estate and he
hold the mortgage. The city of Cleve-
land is an example of this. He owns
valuable property there-Forest Hills
and his Tarrytown IN. W estate is
truly baronial in it's magnificent proper
tions, but these are nothing in COM
.parison to his mortgage holdings. in
Cleveland he holds a $100, 900 mortgage
on the principal hotel, a mortgage for
like amount on large wholesale bust
ness, and banking and street railway
holdings which would bring the total to
$4,000, 900 in the Ohio city alone.
But Cleveland is not the only city in
the United States that is doing a good
part of its business on John D. Rookie
fel)er's money and paying him we'll for
the privilege. New York, Chicago. Pitts

The Government to Use Its Probe.
The most important of all develop
ments in this fight has been the action
OF congress in ordering the department
of commerce and labor to begin in
vestigation, of the business of the
Standard Oil company. and as an evil
dence OF the thoroughness with which
the work will be done, the note of
President Roosevelt to Mr.: James r.
Garfield may be quoted. 1t is terse, and
businesslike: Act vigorously on the
resolution at once" And it the way
in which Mr.. Garfeld's department
has handled the beef trust investiga-
ton, and brought matters and condi-
lions before the interstate commerce
commission. which promise i'll for the
beef trust. is any indication of the
spirit and thorOughness with which
the investigation OF the Standard Oil
business will be conducted, Mr.. Rookie
Teller may we'll begin to fidget in his

Three men charged with counter

Duluth and were incarcerated in the
county Jail, where they will be held
to the next United States grand jury.
There names are Phillip Corners, Har-

innocence
The arrest was effected by Deputy
