COURT UPH0LDS CHARGE
AGAINST RAILROADS
Bv Associated Press.

Bv Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY. March 2.-The
most interesting result of the investi-
CATION of the interstate commerce
commission in 1906 concerning the con-
troll of the coal supply was the indict-
ment of the Union Pacific, oregon
Short Line and others for conspiracy.
The grand jury found the defend
ants had refused TO deliver coal to j.
d. Sharp, a Salt Lake dealer, presum-
ably because Sharp had made cut of
so cents in the retail price.
The defendants demurred to the in
dictment and the demurrer was sus-
tanned today by Judge Marshall. 1t
was contended that the count was not
substantiated by the law, nor by the
evidence submitted to the grand jury.
ON the second count, that of COM
bining to fix prices in violation of the
sherman law, the demurrer was over
ruled and the defendants held to trial.
They are. in addition to those named,
the Union Pacific Railroad company,
Everett Buckingham and James H.
Moore.

DIR. FORD NOTED AMONG
WESTERN METHODISTS

The transfer of Dr.. Ford. F. b..
was one Of the big surprises Of the
assignments at the recent conference
at Eugene, says the Portland Oregon
ian. He is perhaps the most widely
known of the Methodist ministers in
the whole conference, having served
eight years as presiding elder now
superintendent on the Eugene dis
trict, and four years as pastor of the
Sunnyside Methodist churcn. His
work has always been Of the highest
order and he has been very successful
wherever he has labored. Under his
ministry the Sunnyside church pros
pered well, ANA ne was also lnstru-
mental in assisting in other organiza-
tions in the neighborhood commune
ties.
Prior to coming to Oregon Or. Ford
was presiding elder Of Seattle district
and still earlier in his ministerial ca
reer he held the same position in the
Little Rock, Ark, district. He has
contributed largely to the periodicals
Of the denomination. and his book on
the presiding eldership is the only
work Of the kind ever published and
had wide sale. The church at PEN
dleton, to which he was transferred
is one Of the most magnificent edfl-
ces in northwest Methodism, II being
q new building costing $4,000. Pen
dletOn also has a nice parsonage and
Is an altogether desirable appoint
ment. It Is in the Columbia River
conference, one Of the strongest con-
ferences in the west.

have been happy all these years, but
the man has had something on his
mind. For more than IA years the
assistant postmaster has carried this
secret Of the intercepted letter in his
heart. No one ever knew
The other day an old man hobbled
up the stairs Of the federal building.
He said he wanted to see the authori-

Such scheme would bring in a number of the big mining companies to share in the expense. And it would be big boost for Globe.
 The Silver Belt wants this matter discussed. It wants the guiding light of publicity. Let the people talk it over in the columns of the Silver Belt It will prove beneficial to all. If the school trustees are right they should be sustained. If wrong. the bond issue should be defeated.
