THE NEWSPAPER COMBINATION.

Newspaper publishers and job print CTS pay over forty five mi lion dollars per annum for their supply of news print paper Their purchases exceed ing 1.200 coo tons per annus have been made largely under. pledge of secrecy and by individual negotiation The recent congressional investigation un- covered the results of that method in startling disparities of price. outrag- eous discriminatious, deceits, mlsrep- resentations, and actual cheating that forced the sales agent of many paper companies to profuse and frequent apologies. Unu that exposure was made, publishers were unaware of the extent of the frauds praeticed upon them. The representatives of the pap. CT companies declared with poSSfve- ness under oath that they knST of no arrangement or understanding which stopped competition. They said the discriminations they had made were due largely to the acceptability of the buyer or to market conditions. Nevertheless. the publisher who at tempted to buy paper in the year 1907 realized that in some unaccountable way. ne had been apportioneu to g particular mill at a given price and 1Aat all the results of a paper poo were accomplished notwithstanding the denials of the paper makers-
 To show the insincerity of these witnesses, and to test the>truthfulness Of their assertions, a request was sent recently to many of the larger man ufacturers for quotations, on carload lots of approximately twenty tons each f. o. b. mill. The weight was to be standard and the widths of rolls would approximate those which the mills had been running. The first ap plication was met with a refusal to make a quotation f. o. b. mill unless the name of the buyer, the place of shipment, and his present contract should be disclosed, thereby revealing the method by which the "gentleman's agreement" had been maintained. 9th CT mills failed to make any quotation. The general refusal of paper makers to give such prices will convince con gress and the country of the vitality of the. paper combination.

CUBAN INDEPENDENCE.

For the second time the Cubans are about to try their hand at self-govern- meat. On the eve of the elections Governor Magoon has congratulated them on the indications they have given recently of their increased ca pacity for governing themselves.
 So far so good. Cuba has indeed responded the training and instruc ton she has had from the hands of the United States, says the Washing ton Post. She has improved measur- ably since her last fasco. General contentment, order, and activity have reigned without apparent disturbance on the island, and the usual mushroom crop of juntas, cliques and ginger bread generals has failed to mature during the past two years. But one swallow doesn't make a summer. and one little era of harmony and prosper ity, beneath the commanding eye oi a superior force, doesn't make self controlled nation. II remains to be seen if Cuba can mark out her course and upon it pursue the even tenor oi
 
 her way when American control has been withdrawn,

Bisbee daily review., 1908-08-07

The opposition interposed by min ing men to the proposition to remove the mineral exhibit from the territor
 ial fair grounds to Albuquerque for display during the irrigation congress in that city is not surprising in the light of past experience in sending mineral exhibits awy from the terri
 tory for exhibition. At the New Or jeans exposition years ago several val uable private collections were sent there, supposedly under the care of a representative of the territory. Sev- eraI of these collections were lost en- tirely and others were robbed of their choicest specimens. Like treatment was the result at the Chicago exhibi- tion. Exhibits sent there were badly

One Cruiser Ona FOggy Night Could
Destroy Seattle and Tacoma.

One cruiser ona Eoggy NlghC NouAu
Destroy Seattle and Tacoma.
The departure Of the feet of sixteen
battleshlps for Its long cruise has at
least served the purpose Of drawing
attention to the lamentably weak and
unprotected condition Of our Pacific
coast, writes a Washington CORE
spondent From Lower California to
the Canadian boundary we have abso-
lutely no protection against Invasion,
save at San Francisco. Representa-
tive Humphrey, of the State Of Wash
ington, made 1t plain to President
Roosevelt recently that a second-class
cruiser on a foggy night could steam
into Puget Sound and shell Seattle and
Tacoma off the face of the earth with
out receiving a shot in reply.
The President was so impressed that
he asked Mr.. Humphrey to prepare
report, in conjunction with his Pacific
coast colleagues, as to what defenses
and coast protection were necessary
and desirable.
San Diego and San Pedro In Califor-
MIA are equally as unprotected as the
Washington cities, and are wholly at
the mercy of any enemy which may
approach from the sea- 1t would not
cost much, however, to give San Diego
reasonable protection and to prepare
there a rendezvous for Pacific feet.
1t is estimated that $150,0O0 expended
in dredging out the approach would
furnish San Diego with a splendid har-
Dor, easily defended by land fOrtifica-
tons and by battleships, the latter of
which would be instantly available for
service anywhere along the coast.
Just what the great Atlantic feet
will do when 1t reaches our Pacific
coast Is a question not definitely set
tied. Mexico has granted us permits
sion to make use of Magdalena bay fol
target practice, but it is claimed by ex
perts that the ships will be in no con
dltion for anything except to go into
drydock for a complete overhauling
For this the Pacific coast Is absolutely
unprepared. There Is not a drydocl
or a navy yard commensurate for tn,
task 1t would be called upon to meet
The Mare Island navy yard at Sal
Francisco is absolutely inadequate.
There Is doubt expressed by thos
who ought to know, having had expe
riences in the commissary end Of tn
navy, that the provisioning Of tn
feet, when 1t arrived in the Pacific
may turn out to be as poorly prepare,
CIR as are the other functions.

ing a dollar to every person who re-
sponded to his appeal for aims, there
was a quick opening of purses and a
scramble to aid the needy. The man
was soon out of dollars.
The supposed beggar appeared at
the corner about 8 o'clock at night.
He stopped a number of men, plain
lively asking for the price of meal
Some passed on without noticing him.
and others roughly told him to go to
work or hunt up the free soup kitchen
At last one man gave the man dime
Immediately the mendicant drew out
a dollar.
Take this" he said. you gave me
a dime. I'll give you a dollar"
When the urchins about the corner
learned what had happened they flock
ed to the rich beggar and shoWerec
him with offers of assistance.
In a very few minutes the mans re
sources were exhausted, and he de
parted, humming to himself.

A Toad 1000 years Old.

Director Hornaday of the New York
Geological Park has placed upon exhibit
ton a toad which he believes to be not
less than 1000 years old, it having been
found several months ago in a pocket of
block of limestonle in a silver mine at
Butte, Mont, 800 feet below the surface
of the mountain. When found the toad
appeared to be dead, but upon instruc-
lions from the operator, who knew Mr..
Hornaday, it was placed in a glass jar,
sealed up and sent to New York. There
an inspection revealed the truth that it
moved sluggishly, although the eyes had
long been useless and it had neither eaten
nor drunk for centuries. This appears to
prove the old theory that toads can live
untold years in state of suspended ami
nation. The director believes that if he
should try to feed the creature it would
certainly die. 1t is quite plump and q
perfectly formed medium-sized toad of the
spadefoot variety.
