Prohibition Colony to Be Established by
Wealthy Architect.

Tacoma, Oct. S.-A city without a
saloon, brothel, theater or Sunday CT
gar store is in process of incubation
for the state of Washington. William
Arthur, an architect, of Omaha, Neb .,
intends to establish a city in which
the Irohibitionists will control and he
has selected this state for his colony.
In letter to Rev. MIR. Ketchum, of
this city, Arthur says he is negotiating
for land in Mason county, which he
expects to secure, and he will then
proceed to organize his colony and
city. He is looking for 5000 people
to colonize there and build a city.
Every deed for land will contain a
clause forever prohibiting its use fol-
any saloon, brewery or distillery.
Municipal ownership of all public util.
tiles, including street railways, will
be the order and other advanced ideas
of government will be incorporated in
the new community.
Arthur is man of considerable
means and he is enlisting citizens in
the project all over the United States.

LEASE OF ORE LANDS
Great Northern Deal With Steel Trust Il
Completed.

New York, Oct. Sc. H. Gray,
chairman of the board of directors of
the United States Steel Corporation,
has announced that the companies
controlled by the corporation have &C.
CURED the Hill ore lands in the North
west. Judge Cary's announcement
was as follows:
"After long negotiations contract
has been signed for the acquisition on
a royalty basis, of the Hill ore proper
ties, so called, by the companies con-
trolled by the United States Steel Cor
poration. The quantity Of ore has not
been accurately determined, but it is
large body.
1.-THE price to be paid is $l.65 per
ton delivered at the upper lake docks,
with an increase Of "a of cent per
ton each succeeding year The mini
mum agreed to be mined is 100000
toas per year until it reaches 8, $50, 600
tons, and thereafter continue ON that
basis.
TT is believed that the completion
of this agreement will result in great
benefit to both parties. The lease of
the ore properties is practically per-
petual, since it holds until the ore has
been exhausted"

CONSPIRACY Charge
STANDARD OIL TRIAL BEGINS AT
FiNDLAY, CHIC.
Present Suit Is Brought in State
Courts Under Valentine Law
of 1S9S---VaIidity Of the Stat
ute Will Be Tested--Rockefeller
Case Afterwards.

Findlay, O., Oct. 8. Enlarged with
conspiracy against trade" in viola
ton of the antitrust laws of the state
the Standard Oil Company of Ohio
and its alleged constituent companies,
the Buckeye Pipe Line Company and
the Manhattan Oil Company, will be
placed on trial here today before
Judge Gideon &. Banker and jury in
the probate court of Hancock county.
In the original information filed last
June by County Prosecutor William
l.. David, John D. Rockefeller was
made party to the proceedings, but
through the granting of request for
a separate trial Mr.. Rockefeller will
not be called as a defendant until the
case against the company has been
disposed of. Mr.. Rockefeller will not
not attend the trial.
If the manner of instituting the pro.
ceedings-by information instead of
by grand jury Northumberland the
jurisdiction assumed by the probate
court are upheld in the higher courts,
the case will assume added Importance
as indicating an easier and more di-
rect method for action against alleged
trade conspiracies.
Defeuse Questions Jurisdiction.
Both the manner of instituting the
proceedings and the jurisdiction of
the probate court have been question
ed by the attorneys for the defense,
but Judge Banker has decided against
them on all points, and no appeal
can be taken on these preliminary
questions until the case has been
tried.
Judge Banker ruled that viola ton
of the Valentine law constitutes mis-
demeanor and that the last session of
the legislature gave probate courts
concurrent jurisdiction with common
pleas courts over all misdemeanors
To this ruling. as we'll as to that on
other technical points, the defense
took exceptions.
The Valentine law, under which the
proceedings were brought, was passed
July /. 1898. 1t defines trust elab-
OTutcly dis d VI CdDlLdls
skill or acts by two or more persons,
firms, ETC., to create or carry out re-
strictions in trade.
Penalties Prescribed by Statute.
The violations of the act are defined
as conspiracy against trade" and
are punishable by fine of from $50 to
IS, 900 or imprisonment from six to
twelve months.
AS to the evidence required to con-
vict, the statute says:
cit shall be sufficient to rrove that
a trust or com bination as defined here
in exists and that the defendant be-
longed to it or acted for or in connec-
ton with it, without proving all the
members belonging to it, or proving
or producing any article of agreement
or any written instrument on which
it may have been based, or that it was
evidenced by any written instrument
at all. The character of the trust or
combination alleged may be establish
ed by proof of its general reputation
as such."

MlLWAUKEE'S STOCk TOBE
INCREASED $l5O,0OO,OOO

Milwaukee. Oct. S.-A resolution
was passed at the directors meeting
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road, at it's headquarters here last Sat-
urday, authorizing the increasing of
both the common and preferred stock
of the company each $50, 100000.
The resolution authorizing the in
crease provides that the directors may
issue the whole or any part of the
amount voted that they deem neces-
sary.
This announcement came as a par
tial solution of the puzzle which has
involved the Wisconsin Central rail-
way, which has during the past week
been the subject of much gossip.
The Wisconsin Central has been re-
ported sold to dozen different rail-
ways, but in the Milwaukee road g
big issue of stock is expected to be
eventually found the solution of this
question.
To Build to Seattle
When the annual meeting was held
a week ago the outside estimate OF the
COSG VI GIO 1dCIllC COdbU 0XC0u6lOu was
placed at $75, 900, 900.
OF this amount more than $25, OOO,-
900 was raised bv the sale of stock the
past summer, which was authorized
two years ago. 1t was expected that
the balance of the sum needed would
be raised by q bond issue or sale of
notes to French financiers, who a few
months ago provided money in a SINH
lar manner for the Pennsylvania.
Now, however, it is evident that the
Milwaukee road depends on its own
country for raising the funds for the
extension to Seattle. This will &C.
count for largep ortion of the stock
issue. The balance, however, is not
explained.
One report here is that the Milwau-
kee road is not content with project
ing line to the Puget sound country,
but proposes to send feeder down to
the south from the present proposed
terminals at Seattle and Tacoma, to
get some of the business originating at
San Francisco.

Boards AND BADNESS.

If you do not want to be bald, refrain
from growing beard
1t is a simple recipe for keeping your
hair which a physician of eminence
offers. His theory is that men who are
bald owe their affliction most often to
the wearing of boards.
Ho does not pretend to say why this
should be so, but merely directs the
notice of any observant person to the
tact that nearly every man who re-
loices in iuxuriant growth of whiskers
has deficiency of hair on the top of
his head. On the other hand most
ciean-shayen men possess good heads
of hair.
Many men who are clean shaver in
earlier life permit their boards to grow
when they have reached middle age. In
consequence Gf the theory of the ply
sician quoted be correcO the hair be
gins to fall off the tops of their heads.
1t is q fatal mistake. The frequent
and regular use of a razor is the best
insurance against badness.
1t would seem, says this physician.
