seerera,y Receives Letter.

NEW YORK. Nov 2S.-William A.
lobby. secretary of the Astor estate,
received tonight one OF the letters
from Col. Astors brought in by The
steamer Harry Luckenbach today.
1t was a short letter dated the 18th
and concerned only business matters,
said Mr.. Dolby
1T made no mention whaever of
the Nourmahal having had any trou-
BILE in the storm and it is apparent
that the the time Col. Aston wrote
he had no idea of the anxiety felt
here on his account. He stated he
would cable me when communication
was re-established."
The letter completely relieves us,
declared Mr. Dolby, "of the fears we
had fer Col AstOr's safety"

NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-Reports.
rupors and legal prcphee es TO the
contrary. the Standard OF Company
announced auihorita,ively today that
it had no intention OF seeking to pro-
cure an ana ndmont e the Sherman
antitrust law. Tut will proceed with
the appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court. which as already an
nounced through Mortimer +. Elliott,
its general solicitor. is TO be taken
from the decree Of the United States
Circuit Court at St Paul.
Until the Supreme Court has rem
dered decision, the company VIII

ness tnsn the methods now In use,
Mr.. Elliott interviewed.
Mr. Elliott is authority for the fore
going. He discussed the case with
a representative Of the Associated
Press at the Standard OH building at
26 Broadway, this afternoon. after a
conference with Wiilisu Roeks-
felier and John D. Archbold
There Is TO be no EFFORT on the
part CT che company 10 procure an
amendment of the Sherman anti
trust law" said Mr.. Elliott. 1T seems
highly improbable To me that there
will ever be a foreign holding COM
pany organized. as you tell me has
been suggested. The complexity CT
control exercised ty the several
states sets too many difficulties IN
the way.
such comment on the case as
have seen misses the fact that the
Standard OIL Company is not hold
ing company pure and simple. as was
the Northern Securities Company. For
instance. It Owns outright at Bayonne.

There is nothing In the decree 10

il makes doing business more cum
bersome.
Although the decree enjoins the
Standard Oil Company from voting its
share holdings in subsidiary compa-
MES CT receiving dividends from them.
there is nc reason why the individual
holders. among whom such shares
would be divided by the decree should
not elect their own officers In the sub
sidisry companies and receive their
own dividends from these companies
A proxy system among out 5000
share holders would certainly be no
more unmanageable than The same
system as now used by railroad and
industrial companies. with 5000
share holders.
No Cause for Fear.
In brief. there is no cause for the
market TO fear a forced liquidation

Board Of County Commissioners for
franchise to erect telephone line

local service. Also a line extending
to Finley which will serve the ranch
ers along the road and also give a
local service in the town of Finley

venience to Kennewick and the peo-
pie of the Valley.

SHANAFELT'S BURGLARIZED

The Toggery, Shanafelt & Sons
Gents Furnishings store was burg
larized Tuesday night. Entrance
was made through the back door
which was pried open and a window
broken open letting from the storage
room into the store. Once inside
he seemed to take his time in max
ing complete change of wearing
apparel. He picked out fine Eas-
er Suit, a new hat, new shoes, new
shirt, collar, necktic, and under
wear and suit case. The iewelry
shelf in the front show case was
pretty thoroughly cleared of it's
showings. Departing he left behind
him all his old clothes scattered
around the store. In the pocket of
the old coat was a Saw Mills and
Wood Workers Union Card and the
stubs Of check book. Nothing is
known as to the time of the robbery
and no clews promise his immediate
detection.
The loss will amount to 500 or
s125. This is the second or third
time this store haf been burglarized
in the last three years and J. N.
Scott was bound and gagged in his
bed in the rear room by one set who
robbed the store.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE RESTRICTED

For many years it has been the
practice Of the Department to per-
nit homestead entryman who had
established residence upon his claim
and afterwards had been elected or
appointed to a federal, state, or
county office, to be absent from his
entry if required by his official duty,
and to consider such absence con-
structive residence upon his claim
This ruling includes deputies and
assistants III such offices. Sec 2 l..
D., 147; 6 l.. D., 66S; 7 l.. D., SS
8 l.. D., 523-525; Il L. d., 1876;
81 l.. D., 1856.
This privilege, which is not a
statutory right but rests solely upon
Department rulings, has led to such
grave abuse that the objects Of the
homestead law have been to a great
extent defeated. Therefore, the
Department has decided to discon-
tinue the said practice in 50 far as
it has been applied to persons ap-
pointed to office, and limit it to per-
sons elected to office. All decisions
and instructions heretofore given,
not in harmony with this view, are
hereby overruled or modified in so
far as they occredit such absence as
residence, to persons not elected to
office.
1t is not intended, however, to
disturb the status Of persons who
have acted under the rule hereto
fore prevailing, nor to deny the
benefit of the rule to persons who,
prior to April 1, 1909, shall have
been appointed to such Office. Per-
sons having homestead entries, who
enter upon public servive is non
elective positions to which they were
not appointed prior to above date,
will be required to comply fully
with all of the provisions of the
homestead law just as other settlers.
Very respectively,
FRED DENNETT,
Approved Commissioner.

Acting Secretary.

AN OPEN LETTER

l have been told quite plainly
that my efforts to unite the farmers
OF the Valley in a strong Associa-
ton with sufficient cash capital to
put it on substantial business ba-
sis is not for the best interests of
kennewlck. Surely this is a short
sighted criticism and does not, [ am
quite sure, represent the sentiments
OF many. 1t is true that we plan
to distribute crates, feed, seeds, etc.
to our members, and buy from them
fruits, vegetables and all farm pro-
ducts. Undoubtedly this will cut
off some business now handled by
various dealers. But indirectly, at
least, we will benefit them if we sue
ceed along the lines that we are
planning on. 1t is true, and beyond
question, that the SUCCESS of the
farmers means the success of the
business community. If through
strong Association we farmers are
able to secure q reader market and
higher prices for all we produce,
part OF our supplies cheaper, we
are just that much more prosperous.
More money will have been brought
into the community because of the
higher net prices, and some saved
in buying supplies. This means
that we will have more money with
which to pay our debts and to spend
for groceries and clothing and fur
nlture and various comforts, and to
build better homes, get better stock,
may cut off some business from a
few. Indirectly it will be of bene-
fit to every merchant and everyone
else in the Valley.
After paying the prices that we
do for our land we are really not
farmers, we are in business, and
must adopt business methods the
same as other men.do. That means
to buy our supplies as cheaply as
we can and to sell our products at
the best prices possible. In no other
way can we show sufficient net pro-
fit to warrant our land values.
/ fully believe that the kenne-
wick Valley has great future. The
Association will always work for
its best interests, and the manage
ment should have and will expect
the support of the business COM
munity as well az of the farmers.
Broadly speaking, our interests are
mutual. Antagonism can do much
harm and will accomplish nothing
good. F. NJ. SLY, MANAGER.
