Many leaders in the local uade wro

There is hardly a redcemlng feature

Corn-There are holdings of May
corn in this market, which show con

stand like rock beneath the market
for the present. They did not permit
the break in wheat to start any de

the price. Current claim Is that corr

TREADWELL TOPICS.

The music of the mills, which mak- eth clad the hearts and pockets ofmen, once more resounds on the calm Tread we'll air. Operations were resumed Thursday evening as soon as possible after the arrival of the Beckenham.
 Mir. Carl Weiss and wife left on the steamer Jefferson for their future home in Washington.
 Miss Mary Kennedy was Treadwell arrival on the last Jefferson.
 Mir. Steve Ferris has been appointed steward of the Mexican boarding house.
 The heavy rains on Saturday and Sunday caused some little uneasiness for a short time on account of the danger from flooding, but no damage of any sort resulted.
 Charles Swihart took passage on the Cottage City for short visit with hls sister at Petersburg.
 
 BoRN.-A son was born to Mir. and Mrs. Nels G. Johnson on Thursday, January 3lSt.
 The steamer Beckenbam with 6OOO tons of coal for Treadwell arrived here early last Thusday afternoon, and be- gan unloading her cargo the same day. She will leave next Sunday and from here will go to Bellingham, where she will take on three million feet of lum- Der for Australia. The Beckenham is one of the largest vessels ever seen ln these waters, being 3S5 feet in length, 30 feet in beam, with depth of 23 feet and total capacity of 7,50O tons. She is owned by Watts, Watts &Co. of Lon don, and comes here from Moi, Japan with her cargo of Ohtanji coal, which was loaded in 14 days. This seems very rapid work when we remember that the Japanese method of loading coal is by means of small baskets. There are thousands of these however, and they are passed quickly from the hand of one coolie to another, so that an increditable amount of work is ac- complished. Capt. Craggs, the com manding officer of the big steamer is accompanied by his wife and child. Leaving Japan on Jan. 9 they arrived in Victoria Feb. ?, and made the trip from there in four days. The amount of coal carried by this one steamer alone is sufficient to run the entire Treadwell works for five weeks.
 The Montara left Seattle Monday morning with more coal for Treadwell.

The Indiana Case.

What would happen TO the liquor
traffic in the rest of the States if
the Indiana case, so-called, shall be
decided adversely to the high court
of that State by the Supreme Court
of the nation? Conjecture on the
subject is highly interesting.
Most newspaper readers know at
this late day what the Indiana case
is. Suffice it now to say that it
comes 10 the Supreme Court of the
United States in the form of an ap-
peal from the supreme court of In
diana. That court had before it a
decision by one of the minor judges
to the effect that the State cannot,
under the guise of police regula-
ton, license the sale of Intoxicating
liquors, for the reason that the sale
of such wares is dangerous to the
public morals and the public health.
This was reversed by the higher
Hoosier court. But temperance
workers of the State have carried
the case resolutely to the supreme
tribunal.
AS was asked in the beginning.
what would happen if the court at
Washington should decide with the
Indiana Judge?
In the first place, the whole sys-
tenn of licensing the sale of liquor
on the part of the various States
woulG fall 10 the ground. In the
second place, as the Indiana supreme
court pointed out, it would restore
to all persons their unrestricted
rights under the common law to
retail Intoxicating liquors, which
would mean confusion worse con.
| founded.
That such state of affairs would
stop the sale of liquor is much to be
doubted. Instead, il would NEAR
merely that the State had no power
to discriminate between citizens
! who wished to so engage. On the

DEEPER HARBOR
FOR BALTIMORE

Provided there are no intervening con-
tingencies, the city of Baltimore will be
provided with a deepened harbor in De-

Of water. according to the report for the
fiscal year ended June 80 submitted to-
day to Brigadier General Mackenzie
chief of engineers of the army. by Lieut.
Col. r. L. HOxie, the engineer officer in
charge OF the river and harbor work in
the Baltimore district. This promise is
calculated to be joyously received by the
shipping interests Of Baltimore, who
have been working for a greater port
Colonel HoXie's report covers the work
being done on the new channel from
Baltimore harbOr to deep water in
Chesapeake Bay, a distance of about
twenty-three miles. The channel is to
be Coz feet wide as well as thirty-seven
feet in depth. and the work is now about
two-fifths completed. This project was
authorized by Congress March g. 1905.
and operations were begun July ,. of
that year. The bill provided for a chan
nel thirty-five feet deep at mean low
water. The estimated cost was 50. 49,. 600.

Mr.. TiIIman Counterbalanced.

Hotspur having found rehabilita-
ton, or recreation, in our plain
friend, Mr.. 1illman, it behooves us
TO note how not all the South is
eating fire. We are IN great danger
of drawing unwarrantable general
differences from such exceptional
happenings as the South Carolinian's
reported disagreement with his Iowa
colleague.
What if the daily press has
presented an instance of genial in
diligence, of kindly charity, even of
loving forgiveness on the part of
no less typical a Southerner? We
cannot then say Dixie is the home
of quick temper, can we?

Receivers for Trusts.

The new proposal of the Govern
ment, to place monopolistic trusts
in the hands Of receivers, is a start
ling departure from the utmost
rigor that has been shown hereto
fore. II amounts to a confession
that the Government cannot by the
mere process of securing a decree
against a trust. enforce a restora-
ton of competition. So il is pro-
posed to have a receiver placed in
charge, to conduct the business and
20 distribute the assets in such
fashion as will assure the restOra-
ton of something like competition.
This is very long step beyond
anythingyet undertaken. 1t amounts
to Government control, at least
during the receivership period, and
TO Government supervision of the
distribution of the properties.
Moreover, it assumes that a Govern
ment executive viii be able to com
pete with himself, although a cor
pOrate executive can't. II is not
quite plain how this is going to
work out.
When the business of distributing
a corporations assets, through a re-
ceiver, is taken up. IL may be as
sumed that the original owners will
find means 10 resume their control
in the new form, and that ulti-
mately the old community of inter
est will be restored. The circle will
then have been completed, and the
impossibility of compelling compe-
tition will have been demonstrated
Then. perhaps, the policy of per-
petual receivers for monopOlistiC
concerns viii be taken on-which
means simply frank assumption OF
the definite policy of Government
supervision and regulation. Ger
tainly it cannot be denied that the
new proposal is long and suggest.
i've step toward such a consumma-
ton.
