trusts promises to be the battle
which the federal government
will begin on Oct against the beef
packers. Months were spent by fed
eral grand jury in examining the opera
tions of the packing companies, which
are charged with forming conspiracies
in restraint of trade. The result of this
long and searching investigation was
the presentation to the court of q
formidable list of indictments. Among
the men whose names are on this list
are captains of industry who count
their dollars by millions, and the cor
porations represented by them are
among the most powerful in the world
of trade and commerce. With unlim-
tied funds upon which to draw in fight

certain large corporations have fla
grantly violated the Sherman antitrust
law, President Roosevelt recently said
at Chautauqua:
''Many of these combinations by Sc
cret methods and protracted litigation
are still unwisely seeking to avoid the
consequences of their illegal action.
The government has very properly ex-
ercised moderation in attempting to en-
force the criminal provisions of the
statute, but it has become our convic-
ton that in some cases, such as that
of at least certain of the beef packers
recently indicted in Chicago, it is inn
possible longer to show leniency"
Twenty-one packing company Off
cials and five of the corporations with
which they are identified were indicted
by the jury which closed its sessions
in Chicago on July 1. Seventeen of

They represented seven different tribes,
and one Of them belonged to the Sho-

quired to drag the visitor to the
grounds. 1t is massive meteorite Of
many tons weight and fell at some
time in the more or less remote past
in the woods of Clackmas county,
about fifteen miles from the exposition
site. 1t was discovered in 1902 by a
prospector, who supposed it to be iron
ore. He kept his discovery a pro.
found secret and at once endeavored to
get possession of the land on which it
was located. Failing in this, he
moved the iron to his own land, nearly
a mile distant. Special trucks had
to be constructed for the task, which
was one of considerable difficulty, as
secrecy was maintained In regard to
the whole proceeding. Perseverance
triumphed. but when the fact of his
possession Of the mysterious iron be.
came known the carefully guarded
secret leaked out and the owners OF
the land where 1t fell claimed 1t as
their property and sought to gain pos
session. Litigation ensued. The finder
claimed that, being a shooting star
that had dropped from some unknown
world, it should not properly be con-
sidered part of the land where 1t fell.
The persons owning the land claimed
1t as mineral property, possession of
which goes with the land. The court
ruled in their favor and established
an important precedent in regard to
whatever may fall in the future from
Mars, the moon or other heavenly
bodies.
The biggest nugget ever found,
which weighs 182 ounces and is worth

mitted to lift 1t. Most women find
the weight Of the chunk Of gold too
great for their strength.
