That the Wenatchee-Oroville branch
Of the Great Northern railroad IS to be
built in the early spring seems now 70
be an assured fact. There have been
persistent runaors that construction work
would start in few weeks, but the first
actual move IN that direction was made
last week when the comp4ny's right-oi-
way men appeared on the ground and
began work.
They are al work dogn The east SIDE
Of the Okanogan river and are serving
the necessary notices on the Indians
who have allotments on what was ior-

as men and teams can be secured and

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1907.
a SENSATIONAL REPORT

The report of the Interstate Com
meree Commission on the business
methods OF the Standard Oil Co, which
was filed with congress on Monday OF
this week will undoubtedly remove any
doubt that may have existed as TO the
perfect propriety of President Roosevelt,
taking a personal and official interest
in the Standard Oil investigation,
1t is because he had the ineouupti-
bihty and the nerve to attack this ag-
grega,ion of outlaws that the plain PEG
pie admire him.
That for more than twenty years the
Standard OH company has been guilty
OF the crimes against society and
against free government, which are
charged in the report,wss known to the
president and every public prosecutor
in the land, and yet, until Mr.. Roose-
welt became president, nothing was ev-
or done to check the evil The presi-
dents and prosecutors who have gone
before have either lacked honesty or
nerve.
In destroying respect for the govern
ment the evil influence exerted by this
arch enemy of free institutions was
thousand times greater than that of
Hen Most, or any, or all, the anarchists
who ever howled themselves hoarse
talking against government
The government destroying, soul
destroying influence OF the Standard
OH company has done more to lower
respect for Judge, jury, press and pull
pit than an other evil agencies put to-
ge,her. So well was this known that
self respecting ministers and college
presidents refused to accep, gifts Of
Standard Oh money, knowing tina; it
would discredit the Institution.
Some people may have forgotten the
Benis incident, and how President
Harper Of the Chicago, otherwise known
as the Standard Oh University, remon-
slrated with Professor Bemis ior lectur-
ing his classes on the evil influences Of
great corporations, Professor Harper
said they could no, afford 10 teach
such a doctrine when /, was IRON that
source that they received their salaries.
Chancellor Day, OF the Syracuse.
New York, University, has brought dis
credit on his school by becoming an
spologiS, for all corporations, and es-
pecially the Standard Oil company by
preaching the sacredness and inviola-
blly Of wealth. Nineteen out Of every
twenty men in the country firmly be-
heve that Mr.. Day is either paid Tor
his SOLDERING lauda,ions Of the over
nch OF expects ia; donation Tor his
college,
All corporations are not 50 bad as
the Standard Oh, but in most Instances
j, is because they are no, SO large.
The tendency OF great corporations is
to assume powers and privileges that
properly belong to the government, on
~. Great corporations have inherent
privileges. From these, with selfishness
as the motive, il is an easy step to as
segang legal pr1vileges-why should a
great corporation, composed Of the best
in the land, be bound by the same law
tia; governs the conduct Of the hara-
Bic individual, even # they have to buy
jadge, 5aIy, press and pulpit.

ASK FOR A RECEIVER
Minority Stockholders Of WennIchee
planning Wills Go. ask for Receive
err, Alleging mismanagement

The Wenatchee World of Tuesday
contains the following:
The minority stockholders OF the
Wenatehee Planning Mills Co., of We
natchee, filed complaints in the Super
ior court Monday morning of misman-
agement on the part of the present
manager, Judson H. Cornish, and asked
for the appointment of a temporary re-
ceiver to take charge of the business
pending the litigation necessary prior
to the appointment of permanent re-
ceiver to close up the affairs OF the
business. The plaintiffs are S. r. Hol-
comb, f. NJ. Lapp, of Leavenworth,
and B. +. Card, and are represented
by Attorneys Henry Grass and Ira
Thomas. The defendants, the Wenat-
chez Planning Mills Co. and Judson H.
Cornish, are represented by w. Q.
PAR.
The plaintiffs allege mismanage-
ment of the business by Mr.. Cornish
since he took charge OF the business
las, September after acquiring a MOTOR
| ity of the stock. The Wenatchee
Planning Mills Co. is incorporated for
$40, 900, of which Judson H. Cornish
owns $40, 500, his wife, Cora B. Cor
nish, 1000, S. R. Holcomb, $500,
B. f. Card. $1,000. F. NJ. Lapp, S.
900, ], B. Kelly, $4,000, The COM
pany owns property as follows: Plan
/ ing mill at Wenatchee, $4,000, saw
mill at Leavenworth, $4,000, lumber
and finished products, 1850, and a
dock at Leavenworth valued at $3.50.
Plaintiffs allege that on September
/ /. 1906, the company was in debt the
sum of $4,000; January /,
1907, the debt had increased to s22,-
900. and plaintiffs allege the as
sets of the company were the same
at both times. In substanuation OF
their claim Of Encouragement by
Mr.. Cornish they further allege that
Mr.. Cornish is president of the Farm
ers and Merchants Lumber company
located at Irby, Washington, and al
SO the president OF the Irby Mercantile
Co.. and that since assuming charge Of
the Wenatchee Planning Mills Co., he
has sold these two companies at hby,
of which he is himself the head, $4,000
of lumber Of the Wenatchee Planning
Co. at prices far below that paid by
other customers Of the company, and
that 10 their knowledge the Wenatchee
Planning Mills Co., has never received
one cent for such lumber sold.
Mr.. Cornish's afidavits deny the
statement OF the plaintiffs and would
tend to prove that the company IS bet
ter situated financially than ever be-
fore. Mr.. Cornish further denies any
connection with the Farmers & Mer-
chants Lumber Co. Of Irby, OF with the
Irby Mercantile Co.. Of both OF which
the plaintiffs allege he is the president.
| Upon a hearing by the court the APP
plication for receiverShip was denied,
pending the litigation to follow. The
court further required an amendment
to the complaint and the whole matter
will remain at a standstill until the
fling Of the amended complaint.

met defeat to meet it like a man. Other
friends-real friends-advised him the
same way. But he preferred the com
promise" which insulted his intelli-
gence by stating that he "misconstrued
the intent of the executive council"
If Swigart is satisfied with the reso-
luton as adopted, all right. The hum
BILE editor of this humble little labor
per would rather be thrown down
and walked on by convention than
t., submit to anything like it, provided
he believed he was in the right. And
f. Frank Swigart had all the right of
it until he showed the white feather.
Beginning with September 1, the
print shop conducted by George Bros,
went on the eight hour basis in all
departments. The printers have had
the eight hour day for long time,
but the pressroom and bindery have

of The Wageworker worked side by

Notice. cur correspondents and
Subscribers in general, for the last 6 or
10 months we have been crowded for
space for our news, owing to numerous
correspondents from the different towns
of the middle west and the many new
towns that are clamoring to have space
in our paper, also the many worthy
papers, essays and poems often sent
for publication and with our limited
space each week, that we cannot se-
conodate them all in fact we have
often left out the editorials and race
echoes to accommodate our outside news
gathers; but many Of CIR readers like
10 have editorials TO read each week,
therefore We have decided that we will
discontinue our regular correspondents
where we have less then ten actual
subscribers; news can be sent from
those points occasionally. We also ask
our correspondents to condense each
article and be brief with your letter.
