State Boundaries in Tunnel.

Delimitation in a tunnel is probably
one of the novelties of international law.
1t has just been carried out between
Italy and Switzerland in the Simplon.
There have been several incipicnt dis
putes as to the precise point ut which
one jurisdiction ended and the other be
gan, and to place such incidents out of
the range of possibility for the future,
a mixed commission was appointed to
draw boundary line in the bowels of
the mountain. Their work has just been
successfully completed. 1t is noted as Il
curious detail that the temperature in
the tunnel during the work was about
81 degrees Observation-Disclosures Globe.

Our Rival to the South.

The Argentine Republic threatens to
be a greater rival of the United States
than is appreciated by most persons.
Because of the location of the country.
the climate is a little less subject to
great variations than that of the Uni
ted States, and all crops that can be
raised in this country can be grown in
the Argentine Republic with much less
risk than here. The cereal crops and
cattle-raising are very fourishing. and
a very promising market is being open
ed up in Europe.

8 eep Feeding.

In feeding sheep for market avoid
feeding corn in excess. l think that is
one of the great faults of our sheep
feeders; they feed too much of the car
bonaceous ration. 1t is perhaps true
that one can put a flock of sheep into
the barn and make a greater gain per
day for a reasonable time with corn
than with any other kind of food. but
one is not making lean meat, simply
mutton tallow. 4 much better food will
be oats, bran, oil cake-something of
that kind which will produce a better
quality of meat.-F. D. Ward, in Or

AGAINST STANDARD

Inquiry Covers Distribution of Petro- leum and Its Products East of Mis-. sissippi River and In Kan.
 sas and Texas.

sissippi River and In Kan.
 sas and Texas. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. = Strong charges against the methods of the Standard oil were made by the inter state commerce commission in report presented to congress.
 It is declared that the company has used disreputable methods to destroy its competitors, that the ruin of inde- pendent dealers has been distinct part of It's policy, and 1t is suggested that the railroads with which 1t has dealt have sided in this policy. It is declared that there is little to show that the great profits of the company are due to It's economies.
 The report Is the result of the Till man. Gillespie resolution, in which the commission was ordered to make an investigation of the business of the great oil company.
 The report declares that the methods of the company have been so long pur- sued that the only remedy to save in- dependent dealers is the fixing of pipe line rates by the government itself.
 The work of the commission covers the distribution of petroleum and its products east of the Mississippi river and incidentally the Kansas and Texas fields. The report points out generally the methods by which the Standard oil company "has built up and per petuated its monopoly and the rela- tions of transportation agencies to that monopoly"
 It is significant, says the report, that the larger independent refiners sell the greater part of their product in foreign countries. One independent testified that 75 per cent his product went abroad and said that he could compete with the Standard in Germany, where its methods as followed in this country would. not be tolerated, but that he could not compete with 1t here. In discussing the assertion that "the ruin of its competitors has been dis tinct part of the policy of the Standard Oil company" the commission says that one method has been the organization of perfect system of espionage over the shipments of Its competitors, result ing in knowledge as to the destination of every car of oil leaving the refinery of an independent. Some of the main charges in the report were: "The ruin of Its competitors has been distinct part of the policy of the Standard Of company in the past, sys- tematically and consistently pursued.
 "The evidence against the company demonstrates if true that the competi- tive methods of the company in the past have been unfair and even disrep- utable.
 Its motto has been destruction of competition at any cost, and this policy has been pursued without much refer ence to decency or conscience.
 "The Standard has sold fifteen differ ent grades of oil at different prices from the same barrel"
