After Harvester Trust.

To meet the exactions of the binder
trust, L. O, Teigen Of Jackson, would
install a plant for the manufacture Of
binders, mowers and rakes in the
Saltwater prison.
Mr. Teigen introduced a resolution
for the appointment by the speaker of
a committee Of five to confer with the
board of control and the warden of the
prison to investigate the feasibility Of
the installation Of such plant at the
penitentiary. The preamble recites
that the international Harvester com
pany has monopolized the manufacture
and sale Of binders, mowers and hay
rakes and is without scarcely a COM
peting factory in the United States.
The resolution declares that the bust
ness methods of the company render it
in effect trust, involving an advance
in prices, the curtailment of labor and
restraint upon dealers.
The resolution was adopted without
negative votes.

David y. Benson, who has been
with the government surveying party
on the Columbia river. between the
mouth OF the Snake river and Cello,
for the past two months. is In the city
today.
He says the work is progressing
satisfactorily and that in about
month or six weeks the survey OF
the upper Columbia river. between
the mouth of the Snake and Cello.
will be completed.
Soundngs have been taken over 4
short stretch of 80 miles of the upper
part Of the stream from the Snake
down the river. Innumerable rapids
have been thoroughly surveyed and
they were found to be full of large
rocks which will be dangerous TO nav
igation until they have been remov-
ed.
The purpose of the survey has been
to locate these distractions and then
to estimate the cost of removing them
from the channel. When this has
been done project for the improve
ment of the river will be drawn up
by the United States engineers and
forwarded to Washington. An ap-
preparation covering the estimated
cost Is expected to be granted by con-
gress.
The party in the field is in direct
charge Of Lewis s. Miller who has ID
men under him. They are equipped
with gasoline launches and Il number
OF rowboats from which they conduct
operations. When they reach
rapid every foot of the space is care
fully gone over. Every rock of any
size is located and marked so that 1t
may be easily found when the time
comes for blasting them out OF the
channel.
The engineers have covered a dis
tance OF 90 miles and have 80 miles
yet to go before the work is complet-
ed. IT is believed that the worst part
OF the river has been covered. This
will be the only thorough survey
which has ever been made to that
portion OF the upper Colpmbia river
Light draft boats have been run
ming up there at certain periods of
the year, but after the channel has
been cleared 1t Is thought they will
be able to make through trips during

the stable was wrecked. The police

New York, Dec. 27.-John C. Nc
Call, secretary of the New York Life,
was a witness in the insurance in
quiry this morning. He said that he
saw Hamilton in Paris, i'll. His con-
ditiOn was serious, which was certi-
fled TO by Paris physician. He said
Hamilton declined 10 give up his
checks or checkbook, as they only
had TO do with private matters
HamiltOn's statement, which is
long, was read in evidence.
Hamilton's statement is a masterful
defense OF the legal and legislative
business done by him 20 benefit the
New York Life, and other companies
He says that in 1899 he made an cx-
haustive report upon the accounts
and management and condition of the
New York Life for the Prussian gov
ernment, which report was passed
upon and accepted as satisfactory.
The statement says:
when given charge of the bureau
Of taxation and legislation of the
New York Life it became apparent to
the officers of that company as well
as the officers of other companies
that if Massachusetts, proposed leg
! islation passed, the companies would
be legislated and taxed out OF exist
ence
1T was decided that if secret
service was permissible for the gov
ernment. an agency and confidential
service would mot only be effective,
but at the same time a proper plan to
guard the most extensive commercial
interest in the world-the life insur-
ance business of New York state. BY
this plan it was able 10 have as my
representatives, frequently, men who
would not have accepted a retainer
were il known that they were inter-
ested in insurance legislation. Their
employment was known only to me.
l always kept them, and the COM
panies did not even know who they
we're.
''The protection to the companies
became ample. Each company was
supplied daily with list of legislative
propositions and progress. with COM
plete particulars. These secret agents
saw all the Legislators unfamiliar with
legal and insurance matters. and led
them to not attempt to enact tax and
insurance bills to discriminate against
the masses not resident in their par
ticular state"
The Press is Expensive"
Hamilton says he learned of all
proposed legislation and stopped it
believing that preventing is better
than cure. He said the use of the
public press did much, but is expens-
i've. Concluding, Hamilton said.
81 have found in my work that in
legislative bodies in the United States
there is as large a percentage Of hon
est men as in any walk of life. I
never found IL difficult to defeat the
blackmailers. The best years of my
