trade system. is not yet before us. and, ac-
cordng to Mr.. Lever, is not to be thought
Of.
Watching the Enterprise.
Nevertheless, the whole enterprise merits
careful watching In the public interest, and
1t may do good II it induces people who are
vaguely disquieted to reflect a little on the
foundations of their economic system. Save
In the unlikely case OF a trust including all
foreign producers. free trade remains a
Arm bulwark against the abuses of combi-
nation. So long as foreign products can be
ducers can raise the price to the consumer.
1t remains the truth that. except in the
most rare and special cases. trust can
only flourish behind a tariff wall But an
other lesson which the public would do well
to lay to heart Ii that the best safeguard
against the abuse Of capital lies In the
historic impartialfty OF the English law.
In America trusts rose to power because
they retain It because they are able often
to make their own terms with the courts
of justice. In Britain. happily. the latter
evil is not to be feared; but, as we have
frequently argued. the impartiality OF the
law itself II OF no less Importance than the
incorruptibility Of those who administer 1t.
There Is tendency, apparent In the re-
cent trade disputes bNl. to give legal Inn
munfty in certain cases to organizations
of labor. an immunity which, from a per-
verted logic. is extended also to organiza-
tons of capital. II this principle Is once
admitted, there win be no limit to its APP
plication, and we see no reason why, on
this reasoning. combinations Of manufac-
turers should not be allowed with perfect
immunity to crush out any retailers who
opposed them. II that day should ever
come. then all the benefits Of our free trade
system will disappear, and we shall be an
easy prey to every species of trust, home
grown or foreign. We would recommend
those liberals who are declaiming against
the new soap trust, and who also call them
selves free traders, to consider whether
altogether consistent with such fears and
professions.

In tire East OregOnian of August %
appears an article quoting what w.
r. Frey has to say about Alberta,
which he claims to have just returned
from.
am afraid mat Mr.. Frey is not a
very close observer. | have known
Alberta for seven years, and know
that no part of the province south Of
the Red Deer has even been settled
and abandoned.
Alberta is like all other countries.
II has thousands of acres that are f't
only for stock range, and there Is no
better range in North American than
is found there. No hay is needed in
the winter. ana OF course none is put
up, and beeves are gathered every
month In the year from the ranges.
This district | refer to includes the
southeast corner of the province.
The agricultural district hes along the
foothills of the main range OF the
Rockies 1t is about 60 miles wide at
the southern terminus and widens to-
ward the northward. The whole
north end of the province is a good
mixed farming district.
I am not extensively interested In
Alberta. but | am sure the land Is
well worth all that IS being asked for
1t at dhis time.
In the past six months l have Wis
tied n great many homes in Alberta,
Of persons who have gone from this
county. In every case have found
them prospering and wen satisfied.
Mr.. Frey states that II costs $3.50
per acre 10 clear the sagebrush and
hunchgrass from the land. There Is
absolutely no sagebrush in Alberta;
neither is 1t bunchgrass country.
The cost of plowing is s2.75 TO SO per

BATTLING NELSON
LOSES ON A FOUL
CANS GIVEN DECISION IN
FORTY-sECoND ROUND.
Nelson Fought Foul From the Begin
ning-It is Thought He Saw Certain
Defeat as the Outcome and Chose
Rather 10 Lose on Foul Than to
Be Whipped by Negro-Gans
Fought n Clean and Honorable
Fight Throughout.

At Goldfield, New, last evening,
Battling" Nelson lost a viciously hard
fought fight to Joe Cans, the negro
pugilist, in the forty-second round, on
a foul.
Nelson fought foul fight from the
very beginning and in the 42nd round.
after clinching Cans. he struck the
negro terrific blow in the right groin.
Cans fell like a struck OK and Nelson
was Immediately called to his corner
by Referee Siler and the fight award
ed to Cans on the foul blow.
Referee Siler's decision was uni
versaly approved, for the thousands
of spectators had plainly seen the
foul plays of Nelson and cries of
foul" echoed through the arena
whenever the Dane attempted to
knock out the negro by unfair means
1t was the longest and hardest fight
witnessed in the pugilistic arena for
many years and but for the foul blows
Of Nelson, would have been the most
closely contested and spirited fight
seen for some time.
Cans was almost entirely unhurt at
the end of the contest, while Nielsen
was bruised and cut terribly by the
swift blows of the negro.
Cans fought a clean fight all the
way through and is now more highly
respected by the sports than before.
because of his manly actions in the
face of Nelson's bold attempts to foul
him from the start.
1t is thought that Nelson saw at the
beginning that he was whipped IL ne
fought a fair fight and that 1t would
be more satisfactory to lose the fight
on foul than to be defeated by the
negro, so he chose the most "honora-
bic" means of preserving his dignity.
Considerable local interest was dis
played in the fight and several hun
dred dollars changed hands on the
outcome.
Proceeds of the Fight
Under the arrangements made pre-
ceding the fight Nelson is to receive
$22,500 win or lose and Cans but
$1,000. The proceeds of seat sales
reached over $4,000. The attendance
at the fight was in excess of 10000.
Most of the arena sold for SIS a sea,
and standing room was at a premium
an hour before the contest began.
