ber association and the Pacific Coast
Lumber Manufacturers association are
the two big combinations which con.
troll and fix the price of the product of
practically all OF the mills that ship
lumber into this state. Corporations
connected in any way with either of
the associations are practically barred
from doing business in the state by
the antitrust law.
In addition, the law affects directly
retail lumber dealers in the state who
are under agreement to maintain cer-
tain fixed price lists which cannot now
be sustained.
A well-known local lumber dealer
who is in close touch with the West

believe that the abandonment of price
list agreements would result in the
cutting of prices of lumber.
Theoretically the prices on North
Dakota shipments will be regulated by
the law OF supply and demand" he
said. "lnasmuch as the state is de-
pendent upon the outsider for its lum.
Der and shingles. there is no danger of
price cutting. even though agreements
to maintain schedules are dropped.

TEST NORTH DAKOTAANTI TRUST IAN
Shippers the Trust Are Afraid Of the Measure and Test Case
Is Likely to Result at an Early Date

| One of the results of the Shells anti
trust law which was passed at the last
session of the legislature is that all
pricelist agreements entered into by
lumber and shingle manufacturers in
Washington have been abandoned so
far as North Dakota is concerned. The
law is believed by attorneys for the
lumber trust in the West to be uncon-
stitutl0nal. and it has been ascertained
that firm of Fargo attorneys has
been retained to investigate the mat
ter with view of commencing in the
near future case which will end in
the law being thoroughly tested
Under the new statute the sale of
goods produced by members of any
| trust OF association of two or more
persons organized to fix prices or regrl.
late traffic is illegal. The law further
provides that the consignce receiving
| shipment from a member of trust
may refuse payment on the goods and
be awarded them upon proof that they
are trust shipments. Severe penalties
are provided for any corporation fail
ing to file an affidavit showing that it
IS not member of any trust.
Although the measure Is denounced
by Western lumber manufacturers as
class legislation. and therefore uncon-
stitutional. they propose TO take no
chances on lumber and shingle ship.

In the town of North Ferrisburgh. In

from Lake Champlain. there is a noun
tain rising out of the plain which COM
mands a noble view of the Adirondacks
and Green mountains and the his
toric sheet of water that extends from
the Canadian line to the New York
border. There is no finer view in New
England than the panorama that is
unfolded from the top of Mount Philo,
and ii can be seen by any person on
Gods footstool without asking leave
of the owner of the mountain, James
H. Humphreys of Boston, for he has
dedicated lit to public use. Not only
has he done that, but he has built a
fine road to the summit and erected a
tall and sturdy observatory. He asks
of visitors only that they injure no
bird or animal or damage tree or bush.
And the public benefactor is not rich

The curfew.

Mayor Burke of Burlington has re-
the police force of that city
to account for neglecting their
duty of keeping the streets clear
at night. He made a special point of
the fact that young girls were allowed
to be out late in the evening, declaring
that the curfew law was made for a
purpose and that officers who fail to
enforce it are in part responsible for
evil which befalls young girls who
should be at home.
The Barton Monitor makes a strong
statement along these lines when it
says that boy or girl who is allowed
by his or her parents to habitually
wander the streets until 10
II or IL o'clock is just as surely doomed
to ruin as a person with cancer of the
stomach is doomed to die
One of these Burlington women
whose daughters have been allowed to
walk the streets at night has recently
died broken hearted. it is said. because
her daughter was sent to the house OF
correction for disorderly conduct. OF
this case the Montpelier Journal says:
If sons and daughters could realize
that the suffering for their transgres-
sions is not confined to themselves and
that a mother will sit by the fire and
suffer long after the perpetrator has
become calloused to the feeling OF
shame there would be more care taken
in proper conduct and fewer mothers

Public sentiment in Vermont gen.
orally endorses the act of the Sheldon
man who shot and killed burglar in
his employers store recently. Yet the
same public sentiment holds human life
so sacred that it questions the right
of the law to hang a murderer, Is
public sentiment inconsistent. or is the
Ioffense of the burglar more grieVous
to society than that of the murderer?

influences. his youthful environ-
ments." etc? Could the Sheldon man
have been quite. quite certain of his
victims mental responsibility!
Would he not have been doing his full
duty to society and to his employer IN
creeping out of the building and sum-
moning the authorities? For our part
