ern Washington and Idaho. As re-
suit of that ownership the best re-
suits can be attained in operation,
as the line will then be operated in
the interest of the country through
which ii passes. 1t is also good bust
ness for the road to be so owned, be-
cause in that event ii brings business
from the owners of its shares-the
farmers, merchants and business men
generally.
For that reason we have decided
to appeal to the people of eastern
Washington and northern Idaho to
assist us in the construction of this
line. 1t will require a large sum to
construct this road-estimated at
s3.250, 000, including the power plant,
without expected branches to be con-
structed later. Only by the coopera-
ton of residents in this city and sur
rounding country can the expected
sum be raised.
we are not asking the people to
pay a bonus for the construction of
this line, but to become part owners
in the enterprise and sharers in its
profits The stock Of this road has
been subscribed by the incorporates
as required by the laws of Washing
ton, and the incorporators have
obligated themselves to pay into the
treasury 100000 as their subscrip-
ton, and we now offer to the public
such shares of stock as they will sub
scribe for to enable us to build this
road. Any deficiencies between the
stock subscriptions and the cost of
the road will be covered by a sale of
first mortgage bonds, conditioned that
sufficient stock can be sold to enable
the bonds to be marketed.

While one guarded him the other

then took the laces from his shoes

him to his home and with a curse

MOODY ARGUES IN
BEEF TRUST CASE

The agreement with reference to
the purchase price of the cattle,
therefore, was a transaction relating
to interstate commerce and was in
restraint of such commerce. The de-
PENDANTS combined to arbitrarily raise
or lower and fix the prices of fresh
meat and to keep them uniform
among themselves. This conspiracy
was rendered effective by means of
secret meetings at which they We're
fixed.
1t appears the defendants are en-
gagged in the common practice of OBJ
tanning unlawful rates or rebates for
transportation from common carriers
which they subsequently share among
themselves and their scheme contem-
plates the exclusion of all outside
parties from obtaining them.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.--Attorney
General Moody made the argument
for the government in the supreme
court this afternoon in the beef
trust" case. He said the defendants,
who are seven corporations, one CO.
partnership and % other persons,
were charged with entering into
agreements with each other and per-
forming certain acts which are claim
ed to be unlawful. All the acts in
question related to commerce and not
to manufacture or production.
He argued such an agreement was
in violation of the interstate COM
merce act inasmuch as unloading
cars of cattle did not constitute
breaking the original package as
the animal itself was the original
package which nature had made.

few weeks elapsed before Otis re-

He pawned his salary for an $50

to patch the matter up, which pur-
