UMATILLAS CHICKEN KING.
w. II. Evans OF Pilot Rock the Owner
OF 1000 Fowls.

The chicken king OF Umatilla ooun-
ty is supposed to be w. II. Evans. the
well known farmer and stockman of
Pilot Rock.
Mr.. Evans is the owner of over 1000
chickens at the present time and
keeps from 1000 to 1900 on hand all
the time. He is well prepared for
keeping chickens and has an ideal
farm on Birch creek, a half mile from
P.lto Rock.
He raises all kinds OF chickens and
sells eggs, spring chickens and chick
ems for laying purposes at all times
in the year, and makes a speciality OF
the business.
Pilot Rock is especially adapted to
the poultry industry on account of
the mild winter weather, large num-
bers OF insects. and other natural
feed for chickens and the freedom
from diseases which often prevail in
colder and more damp climates.

Gould has been able to tight HIS way

Gould has been able to fight HIS way
successfully against the powerful com
bination of railway interests in bringing
his lines eastward toward the Atlantic
seaboard. But in addition to this he is
a heavy holder of the stocks and bonds,
more particularly the bonds, of almost
every one of the big eastern lines, as
well as of Northern Securities and of
half a dozen of the big roads running
out of Chicago. Probably not less than
$4,000. 600 of his wealth is invested in
railways. And it should be borne in
mind that practically all these holdings
were bought when their market rating
was much less than it is to-day.
The solidity and power that come from
the backing of unlimited millions are
valuable assets for a bank or trust COM
pany. A number of the most important
of these institutions in New York and
other cities have ~prospered through the
magic of connection with the Rookie
Teller name. Certain of these, like the
National City and Hanover banks, of
New York, the First national of Chi
cage and the two largest banks in Cleve-
land, are known as Rockefeller institu-
lions.
The Country's Richest Banker.
These are by no means the measure
of Mr.. Rockefeller's banking interests.
A well-informed Wall street financier
showed me a list recently of so banks
and trust companies, all of which are
reputed to be more or less under the
Rockefeller influence. If John D.. Rock
efeller had nothing but his bank hold
ings he would be known as the u
try's richest banker and would have a
fortune equaled by few in the United
States.
Oil, steel, railroads, banks and trust
companies have not been equal to the
task of providing occupation sufficient
for all the fast-multiplying Rockefeller
millions. Within the past ten years
especially a great many of them have
gone into a particularly lucrative form
of investment-city lighting and trac-
ton companies. Whether $40 600, 900 or
$25, 900, 900 more nearly represents John
| D. Rockefeller's investments of>this sort
in and about New York it is impossible
to say, but the amount is likely to be
near the latter figure, while he has other

Unless it is a cas- of clouds without
rain, and storm without wind, and cy-
clone without any twister, the tempest
which is gathering about the great
Standard Oil octopus is going to give
that many t~entacled trust something
else to do in the near future besides
crushing out competition, forcing up
the price of oil, sucking in the profits,
and declaring the regular quarterly divi-
dend of Is per cent. to its greedy stock
holders.
A good many people are beginning to
think that the Standard is the key log
in the trust jam, which is dam
ming up the commercial, industrial
and financial streams Of the coun
try, and destroying the individ-
ual rights of the common people, and
that if the dynamite of equitable law,

ment and just control, all the other

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 if 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 t~horoughness with which
the investigation of the Standard Oil
business will be conducted, Mr.. Rookie
Teller may well begin to idget in his
chair and recall unpleasant memories
of how Frank S.. Monnett, the attor-
ney general of Ohio, forced the
Standard to abandon it's trust form
Of organization, leave the state and
take refuge in its present form of a
New Jersey corporation.
Monnett Deals Standard a Blow.
This will not be the first time the
Standard has been Investigated. Three
times the trust has been up before leg
islative commissions and has once
been taken before the courts. Tho
legislature of New York delved into
the affairs of the monopoly in 1897,
with the Hepburn committee. Con.
gress tackled it in 1888 with tho
Bacon committee, and again in 1890
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 a bit
ter pill for the Standard to swallow,
it had the grim satisfaction at the next
election of defeating Monnettfor 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 a black eye.

IL impossible, there Is obtainabie some
data that give interesting glimpses OF
its staggering total. Some seven or
eight years ago n of the Standard OIL
leaders, in speaking of the fortunes OF
some of the men most prominently
identified with that company, was
quoted as expressing the opinion that
John D. Rockefellet's share OF this
great aggregation of wealth was then
$3.50, 000, 900 and that his income from 1t
was from $12, 000, 900 to SIS, 000, 900.
This statement had reference OF
course only to that part of Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's wealth derived from his oil inter
ests or represented by his holdings in
the Standard Oil company and the nu-
merous subsidiary companies engaged
in the distribution of oil or in the utili"
cation of it's many by-products. 1t was
made, too, before the great increase in
prices which in the past half dozen years
has added probably one-third to the mar
