Il Is alleged that the defendants.
through the Standard Oil company
and the other corporations, are en-.
gagged In producing, purchasing and
transporting petroleum in the various
producing districts in the United
States, principally situated in New
York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Tennessee, Kentucky. Ohio. Indiana,
Illinois, Kansas, Indian Territory, Ok

and California; that they own and con-
troll nearly all Of the pipe lines in
said states, and other pipe lines ex-
tending from Kansas to the seaboard;
also pipe lines in Texas and In Cal
ifornia; that they own large num-
ber Of tank cars and steamships en-
gagged In transporting oil; and that the
said defendants have, through the in
strumentality of the Standard Oil CON-
pany of New Jersey "a holding corpor-
atom, eliminated competition between
all OF the separate corporations and
monopolized the commerce in oil in
the United States.
Control the Pipe Lines.
It is alleged that the Standard OIL
company has had control of the carry
ing business by pipe lines in and from
all the oil producing regions OF the
United States except Texas, Louisiana
and California; that they charged ex-
cessive and unreasonable rates, and
rates which were discriminatory in
favor of the Standard Oil company;
that they have refused to furnish
equal facilities for receiving and de-
livering oil Of Independent shippers
and refiners; that they have refused
to transport oil belonging to others
than the defendants and their associa-
ted companies, and since the month of
August, 1906, have refused to transport
oil Of others except in such large guam
titles as to completely prevent inde-
pendent producers and refiners Of oil
from using their service, and that they
have forced Is Independent refiners

Another word comes from David
Starr Jordan, the well-known and re-
spected president of the university
that has just suffered such disaster
in the recent earthquake in Califor-
MIA, Stanford university, and whose
words are worthy of special emphasis
in this city of North Yakima. He
writes:
THE Young Men Christian AS
ISOLATION is. in its essential quality. a
great insurance arrangement for the
preservation of young men and boys.
II saves them from idleness, from
folly, from vice, from the tempta-
tons to graft, from ENLIGHTENMENT
and ultimate moral collapse which
naturally follows the yielding to mi
nor temptations. The merchants of a
city conld well afford to support this
selfish interest. 1t gives them more
industrious clerks and safer, sound
or. more trustworthy helpers than
they could otherwise have. Leaving
ont of the question altogether the re-
ligious aspects of Christian Associa-
zion work, it is impossible to esti-
mate the good the association does
in saving and in rationalizing the lei
sure of young men and boys"
The accompanying cuts are illus
trative of the way some of the larger
cities provide homes for their Young
Mems Christian Associations. Many
of the large cities of the country have
recently found it advisable and neces-
sary to tear down their old buildings
as inadequate to the demands made
upon them, and build larger and
more up-to-date ediflces.
A notable instance of this is the
New Twenty-third street branch of
the Y. NJ G. A. in New York City.
The old building was worth many
thousands of dollars, but it was not
complete enough to do the work de-
manded of it. Therefore the board of
directors decided to tear it down and
erect new building, with the result
that now they possess the most valu-
able Y. NJ. G. A. building in the
world. It's value is $4,000. In

to the subject:
Woodrow Wilson, president of
Princeton university, says 81 be-
lieve that this voluntary promotion
of religion by a body Of men associat-
ed together for the purpose of put
ting that motive into the life Of the
university, is something that touches
the very center and springs of life,
and that the university that does not
display power in this kind is not like
ly to display the best power in any
other kind. The work of the Young
Mems Christian Association lies in
the springs of life"
President G. Stanley Hall of Clark
university, has this deep and signifi-
cant word to utter concerning it's

love and honor this association, be-
cause it marked practically the first
recognition in Christendom of the
true meaning and value of youth.

two years the membership of that as
sociation has almost doubled, from

Leaders of education all over the
country endorse the work of the
Young Mems Christian Association in
the highest terms. The fact that
about one-fourth of the buildings in
use at the beginning OF this year
(more having built since), We're for
students, indicates that such work is
recognized as a worthy adjunct to the
highest forms of education. The diff
ferent features of tile work give such
an opportunity to the student to
make use of what he knows, or to de-
velop more completely his latent
powers consequently many of the
universities of the country have
buildings of their own for the Y. M.

expect to own buildings shortly.

RAILROAD TO
FAIR GROUNDS
PROJECTORS SEEK RIGHT OF WAY
To BE Steam Road From n. Il. ~"
to State Fair Grounds
Local Men Interested.

1t will neither be the style nor
necessity for people to walk to the
state fair grounds this fall ii the
plans that are on foot, at this time,
materialize in time 10 allow a steam
railroad to be built from the North
ern Pacific ~" to the state fair be-
fore the fair opens. Already active
work in securing right-of-way is
being prosecuted and it is understood
that considerable portion of it has
been arranged for. 1t lis said that
the road, in all probability, will cross
the Huntington land and that nego-
tiations are on foot between the pro-
motors and w. l.. Steinweg for a
right-of-way across his holdings.
Sam Cameron is one of the prime
movers in the laudable enterprise
and was seen last night and asked
about the truth of the rumor. He
stated that the proposition was
somewhat up in the air and pre-
ferred not to make any statements
concerning it until the project had
assumed such proportions as woul |
make the plan complete success.
G.A.Graham, secretary of the state
fair board, said that he knew of SUCH
an enterprise but that he was not
at liberty to diyulge its plans and
referred all inquiries to Mr.. Cam
eron.
1t is generally believed that the
branch, which will be about two
miles long, is Northern Pacific
proposition and is backed by the
local representative of that company.
1t is also said to be part and par
eel of the Yakima e Valley railroad,
of which George Donald is the con-
trolling spirit.
Mr.. Donald was seen and asked
about the proposed road He pro
fessed to know nothing about it and
began to make inquiries as to the
reliability of the news.
While it is a well enough estab-
lished rumor to be considered an
actual piece of news, those who have
the matter under their wings are
very secretive and are waiting until a
right-ofway has been secured before
making their plans public.
1t is said to be the plan of the
company to lay the tracks and get
everything ready for operations be.
fore the opening of the fair. In
such an event, the cattle and other
stock sent to the fair for exhibition
will be unloaded at the "Y" and
then transferred to the short line
for direct entrance to the fair
grounds. Later, when the grounds
are thrown open to the public. it is
believed that the company will
transport passengers to the grounds.
Further rumors have been started
to the effect that there may be
greater signigcance to the project
than has yet leaked out and that
the short line is but link in what
sition.
