AFTER RAILROAD WAR REBATES.
Negotiations followed which resulted in the
Standard purchasing the Empire refinery inter
ests The Pennsylvania Railroad purchased the
tank cars with trust certificates which Mr..
Rockefeller's company bought. Mr.. Flagler and
Mr. Rockefeller conducted the negotiations with
Mr.. Scott. The Some & Fleming concern figured
later as the Some & Fleming Manufacturing
Company Limited, in the trust agreement.
It was at this point that MIR. Rockefeller de-
MED that the Empire purchase was made TO
eliminate the competition OF the company. The

penditure Of public funds.
There will be river and harbor
bill. In addition to the appropriation
bill which are enacted at every ses-
sion. and this one measure will prob
ably carry $76.00O,O0O or more.
The very fact that there is not a
superabundance of money In the
treasury will be given as reason
for cutting down appropriations for
river and 9harbor work below the
amounts asked for by the army en-
gineers. This means that the dele
cations from the Pacific Coast states
will have their hands full getting
adequate recognition for the water
ways of the Coast.

will be In position to do much for

the Senate last session--thc bill di-
viding Oregon into two judicial dis
tricts: one on either side OF the.
Cascade mountains.
Oregon Representatives have bills
pending providing for the establish
ment of an assay Office at Portland.
But the economical streak that will
be manifest throughout the session
will probably kill off this bill and all
like 1t.
In connection with the river and
harbor bill. the Oregon representa-
tives will endeavor to secure an ap-
preparation for the purchase of the

introduced for this purpose last ses-
