AS 1T LOOKS.

"When we come to look over the
complaint which Montgomery Ward
has filed in the federal court in his suit
against the Retail Merchants associa-
ton, we are forced to the conclusion
that Montgomery Ward has been los
ing business as a result of the cam
paign which the Retail Merchants as
ISOLATION has been making against
catalogue houses" remarked l.. S.
Tyler last evening
81 understand that the attorney of
Montgomery Ward, the Chicago at
torney, has said that he proposed to
first attack the strongest point in the
line of The enemies of the catalogue
house and its business, and it is a
compliment to the South Dakota Re
tail Merchants a~ssociotion that their
association was the point of attack.
'The further statement of the at
torney was, | understand, hal the at
tack upon the South Dakota associa-
ton would drive the members of that
association out of business, and that
after that was done Montgomery Ward
would attack every retail merchant in
the state. And then the same pro-
gram would be followed in other
states,
"The South Dakota association is
the one, | understand. which has given
the catalogue houses the most trouble
and put up the strongest fight against
them.
ut seems to me that the business
men in Sioux Falls who have been
bowling the loudest for the advance
ment of the state and the states in
teres's and for the building up of
Sioux Falls, are also bowling the
loudest for the catalogue houses and
the building up of these institutions
which are, and always will be against
the interests of the state of South
Dakota.
II have heard from several of the
officers and many of the members of
the association during the day and
there is but one sentiment, and that
is to fight this case to the last ditch.
That the interests of the state must
be looked after."-L. S. Tyler in
Sioux Falls Press.

NO ELEVATOR TRUST.

One of the many newspaper CORE
spondents at Washington asserts that
a statement tocongress has been made
by the interstate commerce commits
sion that there is no close alliance be-
tween the managers of grain elevators
and the managers of railroads and
that no evils result from the relations
between the two. This is given as the
conclusion arrived at after an inves-
tigation under the provisions of the
La Toilette resolution
While The testimony was being de
livered to the commits sion at various
western points it seemed othe readers
of newspapers that the commission
was building up a strong cas- in favor
of the existence of a combination that
took from the farmers two or three
cents a bushel as abduction from the
price of their wheat.

EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon by Rev. II. Preston
There are souls whose views are
very narrow toward the great complex
world life, with pity for those who
have not yet been guaranteed against
it's doom. To them, the worlds varied
activities are not only worthless, but
dangerous.
Some, whose narrow circumstances
and lack Of opportunity are sufficient
explanation Of their attitude, cheer
fully sing the praises of ignorance,
and predict the doom of those who
are ungodly enough to be eager to
know. As though brains and religion
we're sworn foes.
Now, zeal cannot save such narrow
views from being a travesty of the
kingdom, whose growth is to be like
that of a grain of mustard seed, with
widening. compelling influence like
that of the leaven in the meal.
1t would be false to facts indiscrim-
inately to commend our age. In in

CONE KILLED.

Rosalia, Wash, Dec. 24.-Raymond
Cone, a youth staying on the farm
owned by Ralph Martin, was accident
ally shot and killed this morning by
Fred Sly, aged Is years, while the two
were out hunting on the breaks of
Pine creek. The accident occurred on
the farm owned by the slayer's father
George Sly, four miles east of Rosalia.
Young Cone was high up on the
breaks, lying on his stomach, prodding
out a rabbit, which bolted, and called
to Fred to fire. Young Sly aimed at
an apparently safe angle from down
the hill, but the bullet hit a rock and
glanced, entering the heart of his com
panion, who Immediately expired.
The funeral will take place at Bel
mont, the home of Raymond Cone.
Much sympathy is expressed for
both families in their great grief.
The above clipping was mailed to
us by our friend, David Ross, of Far
mington, Wash. The boy killed
was the son of w. G. Cone, who
at one time lived a mile west of this
city. Raymond was Is years of age,
and a promising young nan of excel
lent habits. Old friends of the fam
lily in this locality extend their heart
felt sympathy to the bereaved family.

THERE has been waged during the
past few weeks a battle between two
financial giants. On the one side
was j. II. Hill, of the Great Northern
on the other was the Hartman interests
and the bone of contention was The
control of the Milwaukee railroad.
Hill sought control that he might
turn the proposed Milwaukee coast
exteation into the Hartman territory
to the south, and Hartman wanted
it to tap the Great Northern territory.
But for once Hill was beaten. 1t was
brought about through the issue of
$l00,000,000 additional stock, a certain
per cent of which can be purchased
by those holding preferred stock, and
a certain per cent by those holding
the common stock. The officials are
in the Hartman deal. The issue was
decided and made public on Dec. 10Th
and the Dist was set as the time limit
for stock subscriptions. All stock
not taken by stockholders of record
on the Dist was taken by a syndicate
founded for that purpose, which, of
course, was formed in the interests of
the Hartman Standard Oil outfit.
This is "high finance" But it must
be borne in mind that the people pay
the freight

During several a. the wears a. the

During several of the years of the
recent past, farmers in some locali-
ties in this state and other states have
found it necessary to construct indie
pendent elevators through which their
own grain and the grain of neighbor-
ing farmers has been shipped to the
market and they have found the bust
ness profitable to their patrons and to
themselves.
Better prices have beeen paid than
would have been paid without the
competition and most of the farmer
elevator companies have declared divi-
dends.
Testimony taken by the commerce
commission has declared specifically
than combination in restraint of the
purchase and transportation of grain
existed and independent buyers have
told of the difficulties encountered by
them in the transaction of business on
account of the interference of the trust,
and other independent ex-buyers re-
lated to the commission how they were
driven out of business through the adj
verse cooperation of the elevator and
transportation trusts.
Evidence of this character was laid
before the commission in plentiful in
stallments. Yet the commission says
that only a slight alliance exists be-
tween the elevator corporations and
the transportation corporations and
that the trifing combinations discov-
cred are of pecuniary benefit to the
farmers of the northwest.
The commission has sacraficed it's
reputation for reliability among the
farmers of the northwest, who will
view the conclusion of its work in the
interest of the industry they represent
as the application of a coat of official
whitewash
At Washington the suspicion exists
