commissioner Garfield has been mott
fed that the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad has abolished It's oid
system and now pro-rates on OIL from
the west. The Boston & Maine has
followed suit and will now give
through rates on oil just as it does on
other products.
This is a tremendous concession TO
the Independent refiners. 1t opens TO
them a large and lucratice field from
which they have been excluded for
great many years The action of these
railroads will be followed by vigorous
canvassing of the New England states
by agents of independent refiners.
Tobacco Trust Whipped.
Similar reforms have been Wrung
from other trusts since the prosecution
of illegal combinations has become a
reality. The bureau Of corporations is
constantly hearing Of concessions
which the tobacco trust is making I'M
der pressure from Mr. Garfield's inves-
tigators.
Retail tobacco dealers state that the
trust has relaxed it's persecution in a
number of instances recently. One
dealer said that he thought the relief
brought to the retail trade in the city
of Chicago alone more than cOmpen-
stated for the total cost of maintaining
the bureau of corporations since it's es-
Establishment.
One of the favorite methods of the
tobacco trust to kill off a rival has
been to punish the retailers who use
the products of the Independent manu-
facturers. The trust controls the sale
of certain popular brands of cigars and
chewing tobacco which every store
must have on it's shelves if it is to do
any business at all. The trust refuses
to furnish these standard supplies to
any dealer caught flirting with rivals
of the trust. Lately these tactics have
been abandoned and smokers now can
find any brand of tobacco they desire
in practically every store, regardless
of whether the tobacco is the product
of the trust or of Independent firms.
The use of false weights and meas
ures in the oil industry was detected
by Mr.. Garfied's assistants This
fraud was promptly stopped by those
responsible for it when they learned
that the government had knowledge
of it.
In pursuing his oil trust inquiry.
Commissioner Garfield ran across a.
great many interesting incidents which
revealed the methods of the Standard
Oil company. Only few of these
cases We're put in Mr.. Garfield's report.

GOVERNMENT TO TAKE UP WORK

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 21.-
Elaborate plans for the gauging of
streams and the determination of
water sources in Washington and Ore
gon have been decided upon by the
photographic branch Of the geological
survey. Part of the cost will be paid
for by the states and part by the gov
eminent. The work will be done I'M
der the direction of ]. c. Stevens, of
the survey.
Vast tracts of land in the sections
where gauging is to be done are capa-
BILE of improvement, but much of the
Improvement must be done by private
enterprises, as it cannot be done under
the irrigation law; hence the govern
ment has decided to make a thorough
study of the available water supply In
hitherto unstudied regions.
The following gauging stations are
contemplated in Washington this year:
On Asotin creek at Shelman's ranch
and Asotin power house; Cedar, Ra-
vensdale, Clealum, Roslyn; Lake Che
Ian, Chelan Columbia gauge No. u,

FRIGHTENED BY ACT OF GARFIELD
ROADS GIVE OPPRESSED INDIE
PENDENTs A cHANcE-THE
TOBACCO TRUST YIELDS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 21.-
One of the definite results of the cam
paign of the bureau of corporations
against the Standard Oil company has
been the breaking of the oil trusts
monopoly of New England field. For
the first time in 20 years Independent
refiners are now able to get their prod
ucts into Massachusetts, Maine, Yer
mont and other states of that section
on equal terms with the oil of the
trust.
Officers of the trust threw up their
hands in every direction as soon as
they learned that the government
meant business in its search for evil
dence to begin prosecutions. The rail-
roads which have always been an es-
sentiaI factor in maintaining the power
of unlawful combination also surren-
dered like Davy Crockett's coon when
Commissioner Garfield leveled his gun
at them. Illegal determinations and
rebates and arbitrary rules drawn in
the interests of the oil trust for in
many cases since the bureau of cor
porations went on the warpath. The
result of these reforms has been to
loosen the grip of the trust on the
market in certain territories and to
open new fields for the independents.
Only Oil Barred.
The most striking instance of this is
found in New England. Until the last
few weeks the two railroads that con-
troll the traffic of that section, the New
York. New Haven & Hartford and the
Boston & Maine, refused to make
through rates from the west to their
territory. This refusal applied only to
oil and in some instances to one other
commodity. The independent refiners
of Pennsylvania, Ohio and other states
desiring to ship into New England had
ritory and then a local and much
higher charge to Boston or other
points of destination. Cheap through
rates could be obtained over these rail-
roads from the west on coal, lumber
and al lother classes of freight save oil
and one other product
This arbitrary policy on the part or
the railroads in question apparently
was for the purpose of favOring the
STANDARD Oil, because the trust was
not affected by the discrimination. One
of the largest refineries of the Stand
ard Oil company is located at BayOnne,
n. J. This refinery supplies the great
er part of New England with OIL 1t
seacoast to Boston or some other
point from which it is distributed at
a minimum railroad charge The prac-
teal result of this arrangement has
been to give an absolute monopoly to
the trust in this big region. because it
was the only concern having a refinery
