ON DEFENSIVE
Elevator Trust is Put by
Board of Trade
Crusade.
THE TRUST FIGHTS BACK

Chicago, Dec. 12.-What is declared
to be the first step toward breaking up
the so-called elevator trust in con-
troll of the Chicago grain market was
taken today by John Hill, Jr., board
of trade crusader against bucket
shops, in the form of suit demanding
the revocation of the license of the
South Chicago Elevator company, one
of the leading local grain concerns.
Hill says the company has violated the
law by dealing in grain in its own
elevators and by selling grain on the
board at less than the market price,
as an inducement for elevator pat
ronage. 1t is asserted that a trust
agreement has existed between the
South Chicago and Central Elevators,
and the Peavy and Armour Grain
companies Hill says evidence of vi
olation of the law has been placed in
the states attorneys hands, and that
criminal prosecutions will follow his
civil suit. The complainant supple
mented his suit by the distribution on
the board of trade Of a pamphlet en-
titled, Whom Rogues Cannot Buy
They Would Destroy" and dedicated
to Those respectable members of the
board of trade who have Industrious
ly labored for months past with the
aid of a blackmailing detective
agency to find means of blackening
my reputation"
Reference is made to the writer's
campaign against bucket shopping
and other board of trade abuses,
and stories are revived of an attempt
to blow up his house in 1898. Men
of the same purpose" says the pamph-
let, "are now insidiously at work to
besmirch my name. Their aim car
be no other than that wholesale buck
etshopping may bes perpetuated and IL

government in many of the matters
which IL has recently undertaken
would have been wholly unnecessary
il the states themselves had been
alive to their duty towards the general
body Of the country. 1t is useless for
the advocates of states right to
inveigh against the supremacy of ma
tional authority in the fields of ne
cessary control where the states them
selves fail In the performance of their
duty. The instinct for self-govern-
ment among the people of the United
States is too strong to permit them
long to respect any ones right to
exercise a power which he fails to ex-
ercise. The governmental control
which they deem just and necessary
they will have. 1t may be that such
control could better be exercised in
particular instances by the govern
will have the control they need eth
er from the states or from the ma
tional government. and if the states
fail to furnish it in due measure
sooner or later, constructions of the
constitution will be found to vest the
power where it will be exercised, in
the national government. The true
and only way to preserve state au-
thority is to be found in the awak-
ened conscience of the states, their
broadened views and higher standard
of responsibility to the general pub
lie, in effective legislation by the
states in conformity to the general
moral sense of the country, and in
the vigorous exercise for the general
public good of that state authority
which is to be preserved"

DINNER OF THE SOCIETY

New York, Dec. 1.-THE feature OF
the annual dinner of the Pennsylvania
society which was held at the Wal
dorf-Astoria, tonight, was an address
by Secretary of state Root who made
an eloquent appeal for uniform leg
islation by all state legislatures de-
signed to make illegal combinations
of capital and other abuses complain
ed of by citizens generally, impossi-
BILE. The large banquet hall of the
hotel was filed and nearly every rep
resentative Pennsylvania in New
York listened to and applauded the
sentiments of the head of the state
department. After reviewing the
enormous progress the United States
has made in the last century and a
half the secretary said:
Z" submit to your judgment, and
desire to press upon you with all the
earnestness / possess, mat there is
but one way in which the states of
the union can maintain their power
and authority under the conditions
which are now before us, and that way
Is by an awakening on the part Of
the states to a realization of their
own duties to the country at large.
Under the conditions which now ex-
list, no state can live unto itself
alone and regulate it's affairs with
sole reference to it's own treasury, it's
own convenience. it's own special in
-terests. Every state is bound to frame
Its legislation and it's administration
with reference, not only to it's own
special affairs, but with reference to
the effect upon all it's sister states.
If any state is maintaining laws which
afford opportunity and authority for
practices condemned by the public
sense of the whole country. or laws
which through the operation of our
modern system of communication and
business are injurious to the inter-
ests of the whole country, that state
is violating the conditions upon
which alone can it's power be preserv-
ed. If any state maintains laws which
promote and foster the enormous ov-
demned by the people of the coun-
try generally; if any state maintains
laws designed to make easy the TOR
nation of trusts and the creation of
monopolies; if any state maintains
laws which permit conditions of child
labor revolving to the sense of man
kind; if any state maintains laws of
marriage and divorce so far incon-
sistent with the general standard of
the nation sto violently derange the
domestic relations which the major
ity Of the states desire to preserve,
that state is promoting lne tendency
of the people of the country to seek
relief through the national govern
ment and to press forward the move
ment for national control and the ex-
tinction of local control.

AFTER TYPHOID
The Unsuitable Appetite Must Be Care
fully Watched.

An attack of typhoid fever usually
leaves one with an enormous appetite.
The wasted body cries out for food
material to repair the loss of body
tissues.
If care is not used, the weakened
digestive organs may be overwhelmed
before they have become strong.
Tsere is no food that has the tissue
building and energy producing quail
ties equal to Grape-Nuts.
This rood is predigested-the organs
are relieved of the necessity of di-
gesting it; it is concentrated-sffor
ing much nourishment with little bulk
contains all the essential food ele-
ments for repair and energy. 1t is
therefore valuable under conditions of
health as well as convalescence.

WORK BLACK SANDS OF SNAKE
Dr.. FraIick and DR.. Eckstein Planning
Construction of Big Reduction
Works.

HUNTINGTON, Ore, Sept. 25.-Dr.
Wilfred G. Fralick is now at his placer
claims on the Snake river, a few miles
above Huntington, where, together
with DR.. Oscar Eckstien, he will busy
himself Immediately in the draft OF
plans for the construction of the pro-
posed reduction plant for the treat
ment of black sand.
The United States government has
for the last two years expended sew
eral thousands of dollars for expert
ments on black sand, and many east
ern experts have been engaged on this
tack Designs will be drafted at once
by engineers in the east for the cree
ton of the plant for the treatment of
sand. Great secrecy will be observed
in the erection and operation of the
same. Under ideal conditions two
months would be required for the erec-
ton of this plant, but the work will
be pushed with promptness. In the
course of a year it is estimated that
plans will be perfected for the in
stallation of a plant either in South
Africa or Australia, one in Alaska and
others in localities where black sand
may prove especially abundant.
A number of specimens have been
received from across the water. Sew
eral local mining enthusiasts have ex-
pressed great interest in the work of
Drs. Fralick and Eckstien, and ship
ments of black sand will be turned
over to them for treatment as soon
as the Snake river plant can be COM
pleted.

RICH PlACERs ON SALMON RIVER
l. z. Moody Arrives at Boise With
Weishty Buttons, Work of Three
Men Two Days.

l. E. Moody has arrived from Thun-
der mountain, bringing in two buttons
of gold, amounting in value to about
$40, the savings from two days SHOW
cling by three men, where temporary
and crude appliances were used, says
the Boise Statesman.
The claim, which embraces $50
acres, is new discovery, and is locat
ed about 25 miles southeast of Thun-
der mountain, on the south fork Of
the Salmon river. 1t is estimated that
the ground will yield II cents a yard,
and the depth to bedrock will average
rs feet There are seven parties in
terested in the claim but pending ar
rangements for it's working Mr.. Moody
does not feel inclined to go into de-
tails.
He has also brought out samples Of
copper ore from a recent discovery on
Indian creek that assay from 50 to SCI
in gold with an average of 80 per cent
copper. Mr.. Moody estimates that the
outcroppings of the discovery would
approximate 10000 tons, and he be-
lieves them extensive enough to induce
railroads to seriously consider building
a line into the Thunder mountain
country. He was in Boise only bet
ween trains, and will return at once
to Thunder mountain to continue in
vestigation into the placer ground re-
ferred to.

MAREHoVsEMEA NOT At FAULT
Attorney General Renders Opinion in
Complaints Filed From
CoIfax.

OLYMPIA, Sept. 25.-Attorney Cen
eral Atkinson has been called on by
the prosecuting attorney of Whitman
county for an opinion interpreting the
law relating to warehouse receipts
Grain buyers are claiming that the
practice of many Of the warehouses
in issuing receipts subject to all
claims for bags and Irvine furnished
makes it impossible for them in many
instances to do business, and they
want to find a way to eliminate such
conditions from the receipts issued.
The attorney general holds that the
provision quoted is a legal one under
the present statutes, and he holds,
moreover, that the farmer is not in
jured by it, but is in most instances
benefited.

DIRECT PRIMARIES A FROST

TALES Of F|EhD|SH CRUELTY
Steamer Lands al Seattle After
Terrible Trip North.
SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST CAPTAIN
BEATEN, STARVED AND HALF
FROZEN WAS THEIR LOT
IN ARCTIC REGION.
SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST CAPTAIN

Tales of fiendish cruelty, rivaling in
details the actions Of Jack LOndOn's
"Sea Wolf" have come down from the
far north by the whalers, who arrived
in Seattle last evening from Point
Barrow, and may possibly end in a
wholesale investigation of the whaling
operations as conducted by big COM
panies controlling the industry, says
the Seattle News.
Not only have the sailors endured
terrible hardships, borne unwarrant-
ed brutality, starved for months and
been forced to live on practically
nothing, but they have returned from
their four years cruise with nothing
to show for their long voyage but 81
and grim remembrances of the cruise.
Murder, nameless crimes, violation
of the shipping laws and regulations,
refusal of the shippers to read the
ships articles as demanded by law
and shanghaing are but a few of the
charges lodged by the whalers who
have just returned from their long
voyage to the far north.
Cheated by the masters of their
ships out of their earnings, which
amounted to pittance, they have re-
turned to their home country with
not even dry clothing, except that
charitably provided by citizens of
Nome and by the United States gov
eminent. Indirect charges are also
made by the returned sailors of COL
fusion by the Northwest Mounted Po-
lice in the far north, and that pres
ents of money and furs easily won
over the inspectors who came from
distant posts to investigate the re-
ports of the terrible cruelties which
were brought to their attention by the
sailors.
D. F. Warden, a native of Portland
Ore, a member of the crew Of the
whaler, Bowhead, made the following
statement regarding the cruise to The
News today.
zone man Of the Bowhead was near
ly killed six times in two months, and
on the verge of insanity was driven
from the ship and forced to travel one
thousand miles to a distant Hudson
Bay post where he was rescued when
nearly dead from exhaustion. One
man was kicked in the chest by Capt
Cook of the Bowhead last November
and complained of a pain in his chest
until March when he died. On the
ships books he was entered as dying
of consumption. No mercy was shown
the crew in their long vigil in the
north marlin spikes, stanchions and
butts of rifles being used by the
shippers and mates at every opportun-
ity. For twenty-four months three
masters of the whaling fleet, Capt
New, Capt. Bodfish and Captain Til
ton maintained native Eskimo girls,
fourteen and fifteen years of age, upon
their boats.

Two Coyotes With One Bullet.

Peter Watson, a traveller by way

Gus experience while camped near
Kiona the other day. He started
down the road afoot with his rife, in
tending to try to secure a duck on the
river. He was walking on soft sand,
when two coyotes came out of the
sagebrush in front of him. They were
not ten yards from him but their at
tention was attracted by some sound
in the opposite direction and they did
not see him. The wind was also in
his favor They stood in such a posi-
ton that when he fired the bullet
