SUIT AGAINST

Asks for Dissolution of

COMPETITION is STIFLED

Albany y Y. Dec 20.-Attorney Cen
eral Julius Meyet in the name of the
people of the state of New York. today
began an action against the American
Ice company in the supreme court of New
York county. for the dissolution OF the
so-called ice trust
The complaint alleges as principal
feature of the scheme and arrangement
by which the company secured practi-
cal monopoly of the natural and artlflclal
ice output and distribution. especially in
greater New York and the communities
in that vicinity. that it secured control
OF the Maine ice field, and caused a re-
duction there last year OF the usual har-
one-third of that amount. The sources
of supply are alleged 20 be similarly con-
troIled.
Prices Are Controlled.
The key to the ice situation in New
York City is pointed out as lying IN TINS
companyFs control of the ice bridges"
or landing depots. by which means II is
alleged the company Is enabled 10 flx the
price of ice. resulting last summer in an

correspondence OF the company with its
agents and others is quoted TO show that
at the very time when the company was
urging its customers to be careful in
their purchase and consumption of ice.
owing to the shortage of supply, ii was
Informing its agents that the ice situa-
fion from the companys standpoint was
satisfactory. and that offers We're being
received from various sources. especially
from Maine independent producers of
ample supplies, and the company was at
that time refusing to accept these offers
on any terms.
Practical Monopoly.
1t is declared by the attorney general
that on the Hudson river the American
Ice company owns all but seventeen of
the IA ice houses, and that IL contracted
with the Mountain Ice company, operat-
ing in New Jersey and Pennsylvania 10
restrict its sales in Brooklyn. whereby
the free pursuit of the ice business In the
borough was prevented; that II had like
aereements with various independent
concerns along the Hudson river and
elsewhere TO prevent their entering the
field of competition in production or dis
tribution of either natural or manufac-
tured ice.
The methods alleged to have been pur-
sued By the company include purchase
lease, traffic agreements, control or capi.
raj stock and other devices TO restrict
the output of both kinds OF ice and I'M
ftation of distribution and sale.
The court is asked to declare that the
alleged agreements and arrangements be-
tween the American Ice company and
other corporations and dealers are null
and void and against public policy, and &c
prevent continuance of the acts and
transactions complained of.

CHARGE Determinations.

1.-THE matter Of freight rates within our
state is something that calls for the most
rigid investigation and adjustment All
over this state there are cities, towns and
villages that are being Disseminated
against but which in many instances are
ignorant of that fact.
Railroads can reduce or raise rates
within the state at a moments notice,
which enables them to favor one shipper
as against another They should be re-
ouired to give advance notice OF all
changes the same as is required by the
interstate commerce commission or inter-
state traffic.
There should be some method outside
of the railroads. through which disputes
resulting from excessive weights could be
adjusted. At present the weights arrived
at by representatives OF weighing asso-
citation. established and controlled by the
railroads, are final unless the individual
lines are disposed to consider fayorably
the evidence in support of weights claim
ed by cOnsignee.
..There exists today local Utah Rail-
way association commo My known as
pool association formed for the purpose
of maintaining rates between Important
Utah competitive points, which would be
a subject for investigation by a railroad
commission.
Free transportation, except as autnor-
tied nv n commission, should De prohlD-

evils of determinations Large Shippers

The canal spoken of has been under
contemplation for long time, but
at first it was thought water could
only be taken out to cover about 40, =
600 acres. BY recent surveys a
route has been found by which it is
intended to run the canal so that
about 1870, 900 acres of fine land will
be put under water. The land will
be opened to settlement under the
Carey act. 1t extends out toward
Shoshone and westward toward

with which the Twin Falls project
has met, it can be more fully realiz-
ed what it will mean to reclaim

one that can be reached by the pro-
posed canal.

THE GEOGRAPHY AND
GEOLOGY OF ALASKA

So rapidly has the exploration and
exploitation of Alaska gone on in
the last eight years that our knovl-
edge of the geography, geology, and
mineral resources of that territory
especially of the interior, has made
greater strides in that period than
during the proceeding thirty-one
years since the acquisition of Alas
ka. Scattered as they are through
many books and reports, those facts
are not always readily accessible,
and it has seemed to Mr.. Alfred H.
Brooks, of the United States Geo
logical Survey, that the time is now
ripe to present them in summarized
form. This he has recently done
in a professional paper mo. 45),
which the Survey publishes with
the title of ''The Geography and
Geology of Alaska. -
AS treatise on geography would
hardly be complete without some
discussion of the climate, meteoro-
logic data have been compiled by
Mr.. Cleveland Able, jr., and are
included in the paper. 1t is not
generally realized that the range of

At the southernmost point of the
Pacific coast the mean annual tenn
perature is not far from that of the
city of Washington, though the
winters are warmer and character
lied by less snow fall; the Yukon
Valley on the other hand has q
winter climate similar to that OF
northern Montana and Dakota
while in the extreme northern par
of the territory the meterologic con-
ditions are invari ably arctic.
A topographic map, which wa:
made under the direction of the
late r. u. Goode, also accompanie:
this report.
The larger geogr aphic features o
Alaska are now fairly well known
though the detailed surveys which
are demanded by the development
of many localities have hardly beer

been completed of all but three o
the larger rivers. The most i'm
I. portant mountain ranges have beer
at least outlined. Only three larg,
areas remain almost entirely un

ka, between Cook Inlet and tn
lower Kuskokwim, and the other
in northern Alaska, embracing tn
Arctic watershed east and west O
Colville river. Nearly all the sur
veys of the interior, however, hav

quirements of exact geography mus
be followed by more detailed men
