FiILL-HARRIMAN
TRUST is BIGGEST
Has q Monetary Valuation Of
Three Billions.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The
charges which have been pre-
sented to the interstate COM
merce commission by the labor
organizations of the far west
marks the opening of what is by
far the greatest and most impor-
tant case yet started under the
new railroad rate law. The
greatest trust ever organized in
America is said to exist; a trust
with nearly three billions valua-
ton, representing the Hill and
Hartman railroads, and itself
composed Of two associated
trusts-the Hill system individ-
ually and the Hartman system.
It is charged that through the
Transcontinental Freight Bureau,
with headquarters at Chicago
or some other point" the Hill
and Hartman system make and
enforce the same freight rates,
destroying competition, and, in
the case of the lumber traffic,
to divert all the profits of the
business to the confers of the
railroads.
Already this matter has been
taken into the courts, an iniunc-
ton having been secured against
the enforcement of certain new
schedules of lumber rates which
large increases. 1t is
said the petitioners will attempt
to prevent the new rates from
effective by court pro-
cesses until they car. secure from
the interstate commerce COM
mission a ruling on its conten-
ton that they are unreasonable.

day night, and hundreds of the
est people Of the city went up
to take a glance at the fixtures
and furnishings, of a hostelry
which the writer believes to be
the best equipped of its size in
the country.
The formal opening was held
last night wnen a banquet in
honor o. the travelling me hotel
proprietors and the newspaper
men was given. There were
about one hundred of the former
present and every one of them
had words of praise to say about
the New" GiImer, which, as it
is today, reminds us OF the story
Of the prodigal son as told in the
book Of Luke, viz: BRING FORTH
THE BEST ROBE, AND PUT IT ON
HIM AND PUT a RING ON HIS HAND,
AND SHOES ON HIS FEET. AND
BRING HITLER THE FATTED CALF,
AND KILL IT, AND LET US EAT
AND BE MERRY"
This passage of Scripture was
literally, if not spiritually, car
ried out last night.
The Gilmer, before going
astray, has been the Gene Of MANY
delightful hours spent therein
by the culture and refinement of
sleepy" Columbus. but thank
God she has come back, as the
prodigal; REPENTED FOR FALL
ING DOWN" and gives us a guar
antee that in future no sins"
will be committed.
To be brief. the fixtures and
furni shings are simply elegant;
the dining room and the service
cannot be surpassed
