TO AVERT
FUEL FAMINE
Railroads Still Continue
Efforts to Get
Supplies

CHICAGO. Aug. 5.-Following up
efforts already made to avert a repe-
tition of last winters fuel famine in
the West, additional orders have been
issued to local agents of the Union
Pacific railroad to advise dealers of the
urgent necessity of laying in their
supplies Immediately. Attention is
called to the fact that the prohibition
against transportation companies en-
gaging in coal trade after May 1, 1908,
has stopped all development work in
this direction by railroads, making 1t
impossible for large territory to draw
it's supplies from the Wyoming fields
Supplies must now be sought in Col
orado, or east of the Mississippi.
Good re"ults have followed the action
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, at the reques. of the Union Pa
ci1c, in authorizing a reduction of 25
cents ton on coal shipped to Wash
ington, Idaho and Nevada before Sep
tember 1. The company's object in
putting this rate reduction into effect
is to induce dealers to order fuel now
when it can be readily handled. rather
than to wal, as they did last winter,
until transportation is difncult If not
impossible.
By September local Union Pacific
freight agents are required to report
the amount and kind OF coal each deal
er has In stock on that date. and II
dealers have failed to get their sup
plies 10 report the reason. On its own
account the company has stored 100000
tons Of eastern coal and states that
the pnhaic can only be assured Of fuel

CELEBRATION OF
TERCENTENARY
Cape Cod Folks Celebrate
Landing Of BarthOlo=
new GOSnald

FALMOUTH, Mass, Aug. 5.-The
attention of all Cape God, including
residents and summer visitors, Is alb
sorbed this week in the celebration Of
the tercentenary of the landing of
Bartholomew Gosnold on the shores
of Falmouth. The observance of this
historical event, under the auspices of
the Falmouth board of trade and in
dustry, takes the form of a pageant
reproducing the arrival and landing Of
Gosnold and some of the subsequent
events Of his career
Other events that make up the pro-
gram of the weeks celebration include
bonfires along the shore. an extrava-
giant display Of fireworks. a great wa
ter carnival. literary exercises with
historical addresses by prominent men,
parades. athletic sports, the dedication
of a monument to the memory Of the
seamen of Falmouth, receptions and
miscellaneous festivities. Governor
Rockwell and a number of other men
of note are to participate in the cele-
bration.
The significance of the celebration
Of the Bartholomew Gosnold tercen-
tenary is that Gosnold was the earliest
New Englandecolonizer, preceding the
Pilgrim Fathers by 1S years, and that
he preferred the North Atlantic coast
to Virginia as site for English col
onies. The little colony he planted in
the Buzzard's Bay island now called
Cuttyhunk in the spring of 1902 did
not last. The colonists were too few in
number, and were not of the right fibre
to deal with the Indians and subject
the sandy soil to the plow. But Cos
! mold, who named Cape Cod and placed
the felicitous name of Martina Vine
yard on the charts of North America
was firm in his conviction Of the de-
STABILITY Of the New England soil and
climate for colonization.

STANDARD OIL
IS GUILTY
Has Raised Prices and
Mulcted Public of
Millions

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Significent
in a report submitted to President
Roosevelt by Herbert Knox Smith.
commissioner of corporations concern
ing the operations of the Standard Oil
company.
In a previous report the ways and
methods of the Standard were explain
ed. The present report sets forth the
results of the methods and the effect
they had on the consumption of Oil and
on the profits of the Standard Oil COM
pany. Commissioner Smith says:
THE Standard OH company is re-
sponsible for the course Of prices Of
petroleum and it's products during the
last 25 years. The Standard has con-
sistently used Its power to raise the
price of oil during the last ten years,
not only absolutely, but also relatively
to the cost of crude OIL"
The Standard has claimed that it has
reduced the price of oil; that il has
been a benefit to the consumers and
that only a great combination like the
Standard could have furnished oil at
the prices that have prevailed.
Each of these claims" says Com
missioner Smith, 'fs disproved by this
report"
The increase in annual profits of the
Standard Oil company from 1896 to
1904 were over $27!OO0.Oo The report
says:
"The total dividends received by the
Standard from 1882 to 1906 were $751;
922,124, thus averaging 24.15 per cent
a year. The dividends, however, were
much less than the total earnings. II
Is substantially certain that the entire
net earnings of the Standard from
1882 to 1906 were at least $790,O00 ,0OC
and possibly more.
"These enormous profits have been
based on an investment worth at the
time of its original acquisition not more
than $75,000;00O.
