PAPER TRUST
SURRENDERS
VIGOROUS POLICY OF GOVERN
MENT BRINGS ITS OPERA
TlONs TO END.

st. Paul, May 1.-THE United States
government today secured an uncondi-
tional surrender in the United States
circuit court before Judge Sanborn,
in the suit which the attorney gen.
eral began On December Z, 1904, to dis
solve a combination between the gen.
eral paper company and % other de-
PENDANTS, on the ground that an agree
ment had been entered into by the de-
PENDANTS in restraint of interstate COM
merce.
Attorney Kellogg, for the govern
ment, and Attorney Flanders, for the
defendants, appeared before Judge San
born, sitting as circuit Judge. Mr..
Kellogg moved that the mandate from
the United States supreme court, aft
rming it, be filed. Judge Sanborn or
dered the mandate be filed. The wit
ness then appeared before the United
States examiner and offerfedffnhhnh
States examiner and offered to testify.
The defendants then withdrew their
answers.
Decree for Government.
Mr.. Kellogg announced that the gov
eminent did not care to examine the
witnesses, and moved for a decree in
favor of the government.
Judge Sanborn ordered that the de
cree be ordered for the government
for the relief prayed for, and that the
decree should be settled on June 16
and the proceedings were adjourned.
The three witnesses who refused tt
testify, namely, c. I. McNair, of th6

Dun's Wool Review,

Quotations are still without alter
alton. the monthly circular of Coates
Brothers of Philadelphia recording an
average Of 272S cents for one hun
dred grades, which has been the posi-
ton for some time past. Eastern
markets are very dull, stocks being
poorly assorted and manufacturers
sufficiently well supplied to be able
to wait until the new clip is more
abundant. Movement of new wool to
market is handicapped by the dispo-
sition of ranchmen to ask higher
prices than parity with Boston, al
though that market is decidedly firm.
It promises to reduce old stocks very
low, this inclination to force still fur
Their advances, and incidentally en-
courages shopping abroad. Hence,
the london auction sale next week
attracts unusual interest here.
"Boston-Wool is dull and there
has been a smaller volume of new
transfers than in any week for year
Manufacturers are generally we'll Gov
cred, and as the belief is general that
values have reached the top they are
disposed to wait till offerings of do
nestle become larger and the selection
better. Eastern merchants continue
very conservative in operations in the
new clip and there is a deadlock be-
tween buyers and sellers. All foreign
advices continue strong. The receipts
for the week are 2,779,373 pounds and
shipments 1896, 421 pounds.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. weather is
conducive to shearing in the southern
part of the state, but nothing has, as
yet, been done in the cOarser northern
fields. The running price in the bet.
ter grades is q cents and few lots
have moved at 25 cents in the coarse
districts. Very little discrimination
is made, as large number of buyers
are working on a commission basis for
eastern accounts. The condition of the
clip is fully as good as last year, blu,
there is considerable western wool of
fed sheep throughout the state. The
clip will show decided increase and
will approximate 100000 pounds.
Salt Lake City-Early shearing in
the southern districts of Utah is well
along, though to some extent delayed
by the late storms. The quality of the
product is good and the output it is
thought will be as large as last year
Utah's clip is being estimated at -,
100000 pounds. Shearipg is now un
der way in the neighborhood of Boise
and southern Idaho. The clip is to a
large extent sold or contracted for, and
the little that remains unsold is held
above the market. Prevailing prices
have been from 20 to % cents pei
pound, the bulk of sales being at 81
cents

SEE DANGER
IN SALOONS
SAN FRANCISCO is TO BE FREE
FROM THEM FOR A LONG
TIME.

San Francisco, May 14.-That the
authorities here have no intention of
loosening the tight grip on the reins
which have held the liquor dealers
in check since the city suffered it's
great disaster was made plain today
by the emphatic declarations of Mayor
Schmitz. When asked as to the like
lihood of the saloons being allowed to
open in the near future, the mayor not
only denied that there was possibil-
ity of such action being taken, but add
ed that he had decided that all drink
ing places should be closed for an in
definite period. He attributed the re-
markabe absence of crime and the
uneXceptional quiet which prevailed
in the city since the conf1agration to
the fact that the edict against selling
liquor had been rigidly enforced. This
stand of the mayor was emphasized
this afternoon when the board of police
commissioners met and unanimously
Endorsed suggestion made by the
mayor that all saloon licenses now in
existence be revoked.
Not Single Saloon.
San Francisco is today city with
out saloons. In discussing this sweep
ing order the commissioners were a
unit in voicing the sentiment that the
future welfare of the city would be en-
HANGED by fewer number of drink
ing places. A number of saloon pro-
prietors have in the course of con-
struction temporary buildings in which
they hope soon to be permitted to dis
pense liquors.
To these the commissioners issued a
warning advising them that the mum.
Der of saloon licenses to be issued in
the future would be greatly curtailed
and that it was premature for them
to incur any expense in the way of
temporary building operations.
In San Mateo county, just over the
border the supervisors recently allow
ed the saloon men to open their places
OF business. The result was disastrous
and thousands of men and women
! flocked over the border and INDUCED
in drunken orgies. 1t produced the
nearest approach to riotous conditions
that has existed in the city since the
great catastrophe. Chief Oman appeal
ed to Sheriff Mansfield, Of San Mated
GROCERY shops within his jurisdiction
!, be closed. Today Sheriff Mansfield an
; nounced that he would close all drink
, ing places, despite the action of The
supervisors Of the county. even if i

GOOD TIMES IN FERGUS.
Ranchers, Wool Growers and Mine
Owners All Contented.

OWuSTS AL NOUIcnISOs
The Helena Independent contains
the following:
In the opinion of Halsey R. Watson,
business manager of the Fergus Coun-
ty Argus, published at Lewistown,
1906 will be the best year Fergus coun-
ty has had in it's history, and that old
county has had many good ones, as
the comfortable circumstances of it's
citizens testify.
Railway construction, present and
prospective, accounts for the bright
outlook in Fergus to some extent, but
the principal reason for the present
prosperity of Fergus and it's bright
future, according to Mr.. Watson, is
that the county has within it's boun-
diaries vast stores of mineral and agri-
cultural wealth.
The population Of Fergus and Lew
istown is growing with leaps and
bounds" said Mr.. Watson yesterday.
Men high in the councils of the St.
Paul road have made large purchases
not only of Lewistown realty, but of
farm lands as we'll. Helena men have
recently been in Lewistown and have
secured options on property there and
men with money from other sections
of the state are also becoming inter-
ested. There is great deal of build
ing in the residence sections, but not
SO much in the business part, the be-
lief being just now that there are suf-
ficient blocks for the business.

but owing to the present dizziness In
the refined product, and the unsettled
| condition of the raw sugar market,
the closing this year will begin a
| month earlier than usual. Several of
the A S. r. Co.'S largest refneries
will close next week for the usual
period The Federal has commenced
the work of cleaning their refinery and
! will be able to resume operations soon.
Coffee.-The rush of coffee into the
Santos market is about over. All
markets have felt the very rapid move
ment, but are beginning to reflect that
since the weight of the coffee win not
come upon the consuming markets,
prices have been unduly depressed, and
are likely to react sharply
In view of the fact that
trading has been strictly hand to-
mouth for so long a time, the very
large DELIVERIES from the seaports to
the interior should command most Sc
rious attention as they indicate un-
precedented consumption, upwards of
1S,O00,000 bags for the season.
Reliable information from the inte-
rior of San Paulo gives ten millions
for the Santos crop, but other careful
computations up-tO-date result In an
estimate of Santos receipts, with con-
tinued favorable conditions for trans
portation, at 10 1-2 to IL millions.
As regards the Rio crop 1T
will not vary much from 3 millions, as
for very many years it has averaged
about 3A millions. From the above
we see a total Rio and Santos crop
of about 100000 bags.
The San PaulO government holds .
100000 bags apart from consumption
for a wear, so there may be available
for consumption from those ports about
12,00O,O 900 bags. while the world re
auires II to IS million bags of Rio
and Santos coffees alone, very strong
point when present prices are the re-
suit of constantly discounting the rid
ieulous estimates of Il to Is millions.
4 very smart rise in prices is Justi-
fed on this ground alone, to say moth
ing Of the prospects of next Santos
crop giving an outturn of about one
half, perhaps only one-third, of the
present, in support of which there IS
undeniable testimony.

HIlo could have her breakwater. In
f, discussing the refunding proposition
he expressed his disapproyal of that
plan, but said that Congress intended
to do better things for Hawaii, and
he expressed his support of the break
water proposition I regard his atti-
tude as of the very highest Importance,
and feel very hopeful"
Speaker Cannon has just been re-

who utterly stopped the refunding
measure in the last Congress, after the
Senate had passed it and the 'Presi-

prevail of Hilo's pet measure is re-

assuring it's early passage.
Mr.. Dillingham; predicted that the ap

be Immediately followed by work on
the railway from Hilo along the Ha-
makua coast II do not think there
is any doubt about these propositions,
he said. Mr.. Thurston has gone to
Washington with a large collection OF
material, to lay before the proper board
and secure the necessary approval of
the breakwater plans. 1 shall leave
myself next month, to give what aid
l can in presenting the matter and
showing Hilo's claims.
II do not think the peoples of Hilo
half realize as they should the great
chances which almost the immediate
future holds out for them. 1t will not
be many years before the whole re-

taxed to supply through shipping.

nine or ten years before the Panama

Mr.. KENNEDY'S
LOUISIANA TRIP

c. C. Kennedy, manager of Waiakea
Mill Co, yesterday favored an Adver-
tiser reporter with an idea of the OBJ
ject of his intended visit to Louisiana.
a wireless to the Advertiser from
Hilo last Thursday stated that Mr..
planters to study cane-loaders in Louisi-
ana, where the machines of that nature
are said to be superior to any known
here
"Our cane-loaders nave been a con-
siderable saving of labor Mr. Ken
nedy said, 'but they have something
far ahead of ours for economy in
Louisiana.
Here the cane is placed by hand
upon sleds from which the leaders
transfer them to the cars In Louisi-
ana they have a machine that picks up
the cane from the burrows as it lies
when cut.
cit costs us cents ton of cane
now to put it on the sled only. The
Louisiana machine picks up the cane
and loads it on ear or wagon at a
cost of from cents to cents ton.
81 am going to see how it is done,
as we have nothing here that picks up
the cane from the burrows. Perhaps
the difficulty here to find a machine
that can do that work is owing to the
formation of the burrows | think the
success obtained in Louisiana is due to
the fact that the burrows there are
high.
1.-The difference in cost of handling
the cane between, say, 3 - cents and
9 cents a ton would be considerable
on Waiakea plantation. where We load
$50 tons of cane a day
calculation will show that, count
ing IS working days a month, the diff
ference would amount to q monthly
sum of S643.50. This is equal to more
than the wages of 35 laborers at SIS
a month.
MIR. Kennedy is himself the designer
of one of the kinds of cane loader in
use on Hawaiian plantations.

islands, which it is claimed are less
than the Territory is entitled to. The
figures as to shipping are far larger
than those which have appeared in for
mer official reports.
II believe that the correct figures
will show that Hilo has a good deal
more shipping than San Diego" said
Governor Carter in discussing this fea-
ture of the matter. THE figures which
have been accepted at Washington are
based on custom house reports which
do not take into consideration the
Inter-Island traffic, which is just as
much a part of the ports shipping
business as any other"
On this basis, the tonnage Of ar
rivals and departures here will be more
than double what the custom house fig
es show.-Hawaii Herald.
