THE PAPER TRUST.

The next trust octopus that should
command the attention Of Attorney
General Bonaparte should be the paper
merger. According to present plans,
a merger Of paper manufacturing
plants Is to be formed by means OF
which the one firm will control two
thirds of the paper product of the coun-
try, and it is now predicted that with
In two years print paper will double
its present price, which will mean that
it will amount to three times its for
mer cost
AS one result of the increased price,
If the price is increased according to
present schedule, it may be expected
that the public will be asked to pay
the cost, in increased rates on news
papers. Already many weekly news
papers all over the country have added
fifty percent to the subscription rates
because of the increased cost of white
paper and the added cost in every
other department of newspaper pro-
duction.
1t is claimed now that every print
paper, manila fiber, sulphite and
ground plant in Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Michigan will be taken into the
gigantic combination. 1t is said that
options are now held on practically all
of the mills and it is further declared
that the International Paper company
will within twelve months control the
print paper market of the United
States. This concern was incorporated
under the laws of New York in Febru-
airy, 1898, with a capital of $11S,O0O 600
and will expend $3O,0OO,OO0 to $5O,O0O,-
900 more ip order to secure this con.
troll of paper r'hich it seeks. This
money will go toward buying up the
plants of the middle vest.
To John G. Hanrahan of New York,
who engineered the merger of the
twenty-five mills in the American
Whiting company and the thirty-two
mills in the International Paper COM
pany, belongs credit of this new west.
ern merger which is bound, it is
claimed, to take place.
When the General Paper company
was dissolved by Judge Sanborn of the
United States court of appeals at ST.
Paul on June 16, 1906, the statement
was openly made by members of the
alleged trust that the press of the coun.
try, which had fought the so-called
trust, would regret it. This time OF
regret is said to be in the near future
when the impending deal will have
been consummated and the Interna
tional, which will then control the
print paper market of the United
States, will be able arbitrarily to fly
its own prices.
Mr. Hanrahan has been working or
the project for six or eight months
1t is said that options have been oh
tanned on thirty print and fiber mills
most of which ahve ground wood ant
sulphite plants in connection, with
daily output of 1,243 tons of print anC
manila paper, 42O tons of sulphite anC
SIG tons of ground wood, In addition
to this, there are ten pulp mills in tn,
state of Wisconsin with daily capac
ity of 1874 tons of ground wood ant
los tons of sulphite.
If the proposed merger does TAX,
place as it now seems probable tn,
= scheme may well attract the serious
consideration of the attorney general
y office.

NORFOLK PEOPLE pLEASED.

Everywhere in Norfolk you can hear
approval of the movement which has
lust been taken looking to the expan'
sion of the city limits In the south
western part of the city. People OF
the community heartily believe and
hope that this may be the beginning Of
n similar expansion all along the line
of the city's corporate limits.
Norfolk business men and people
Interested in the city's welfare point
out that there are on all sides of the
city outlying additions containing
several hundreds of people, which
ought by any possible reasoning to
be part OF the city proper. North
west OF the city there Is a corner, south
west, just south of The Heights, south
east and east Of the Junction. north
east in Edgewater park and north.
In all OF these additions there are
n good many homes and families.
These citizens are literally part OF
the community. BY coming into the
city they will derive many valuable
advantages which they do not now en-
Joy and Norfolk proper will be bene-
flied In having its population increased.
A town works hard to increase its
population in other ways, and Norfolk
people insist that when the population
could be so easily and simply increas-
ed as In this way, no time should be
lost in going ahead.

old ones renewed. Those who desired
we're shown about the busy little town
and given an opportunity to visit the
mills and factories and note the hum of
industry that pervades the place, A
special train brought upward of forty
people from Sheffield and took them back
in the evening. Newtown Mills, Nebras-
