The legal department is particularly
pleased with the decision in the grain case,
not only because the suit was won, but
because the court established the validity
OF the several antitrust laws which for
SO many years have been looked upon as
being possibly faulty.
While the suit against the grain men was
purely a civil action, the court by uphold
ing the several antitrust laws has also
upheld the penalty sections thus making

talk ABOUT

The "City Beautiful" committee
Of the 100000 club met today at the
rooms of the chamber Of commerce
and had a good old-fashioned talk
on several matters of interest to
the people of the city.
Discussion first turned on what
was going to be done about ade-
quate street sprinklihg during the
coming summer. Mayor Daggett
was present and informed the COM
mittee that there was no municipal
appropriation for street sprinklins
except within the fire limits. No
definite action was taken, but it is
possible that public subscription
lists will be circulated.
Communications were received
from the Floral society and from
the Woodmen of the World, re-
questing permission to join in the
Arbor day labor and festivities.
The sense of the committee iS that
Arbor day should be chosen as
early in the spring as possible, i'm
mediately after the ground settles
and the weather warrants.
Explanation of what the city Off
cials and the people connected wiYl
the Finch interests were doing to-
ward the series of parks and park
ways on the west of Hangmna
creek was laid before the commit
tee and the expression was one of
enthusiasm at the prospect of such
a venture becoming reality.

The bodies of Firemen Dakin and
