MANY QUESTIONS TOUCHED
Incoming Presidents Ideas on Trusts
 and Other Matters

strictions of the antitrust law have be urged by me. On the other hand, the administration is pledged to legis- lation looking to proper federal su- pervision and restriction to prevent eX cessive issues of bonds and stocks by companies owning and operating inter- state commerce railroads.
 Then, too, reorganization of the de- pertinent of justice, of the bureau of corporations in the department of com merce and labor and of the interstate commerce commission looking to effec- tive cooperation of these agencies is needed to secure a more rapid and cer- tain enforcement of the laws affect ing interstate railroads and industrial combinations.
 I hope to be able to submit at the first regular session of the incoming congress in December next definite suggestions in respect to the needed amendments to the antitrust and the interstate commerce law and the changes required i'll the executive Ge- partments concerned in their enforce ment.
 Good and Bad Trusts"
 It is believed that with the changes to be recommended American busi- ness can be assured of that measure of stability and certainty In respect to those things that may be done and those that are prohibited, which is essential to the life and growth of all business. Such plan must include the right of the people to avail them selves of those methods of combining capital and effort deemed necessary to reach the highest degree of economic efficiency, at the same time differenti- ating between combinations based upon legitimate economic reasons and those formed with the intent of creat- ing monopolies and artificially control ling prices.

 The office of an inaugural address is to give summary outline of the main policies of the new administration so far as they can be anticipated. l have had the honor to be one of the ad yisers of my distinguished predecessor and as such to hold up his hands in the reforms he has initiated. I should be untrue to myself, to my promises and to the declarations of the party platform upon which I was elected to office if l did not make the mainte nance and enforcement of those re- forms a most important feature of my Administration. They were directed to the suppression of the lawlessness and abuses of power of the great combina- tons of capital invested in railroads and in industrial enterprises carrying on interstate commerce. The steps which my predecessor took and the legislation passed on his recommenda ton have accomplished much, have caused general halt in the vicious policies which created popular alarm and have brought about in the bust ness affected a much higher regard for existing law.

RIVER OF OIL IN ALASKA
J. p. MORGAN'S AGENT TELLS
STORY OF WONDERFUL DIS
COVERY IN THE WIlDS.
Crude PETROLEUM Flowing in stream
From Lakes of Oil Shown
Explorer by Local
Indians.

Seattle-L. V. Detrik, an agent Tor
j. Pierpont Morgan, arrived here TINS
week with report OF having dlScOv'
cred a vast stream of crude petroleum
oil
The river of oil is in the northeast
ern part of Alaska, but within the
boundary line The country never be-
fore explored lies on the Arctic slope,
between Point Barrow and Colvllle
river. Natives told Detrik that he was
the first white man they ever saw ana
that because of his gifts they would
show him river of fire water, and
led him to the oil stream.
Oil bubbles from the ground in thar
locality and in quality it is graded
with the Iinest produced by Pennsyl'
vania. The natives told Detrik that
there are lakes farther back in the
country that will burn, so he will go
north next spring to seek the new
tabled land of riches.
SO convincing are the reports sub.
mitted by Detrik that George w. Per
kins, right -hand-man Of J. F. Morgan,
will go north on the first boat next
spring to investigate the find. The
discovery is 150 miles from the coast,
but the oil can be easily pped to
water and loaded into tank steamers
for transportation to market.
