TELL OF DESCHUTES

MiSSOUlA MEN RETURN FROM
RIGHT OF WAY BATTLE
GROUND IN OREGON.

]. +. Frost. Elmer Johnson and Will
liam Pease returned To Missoula yes
terday from Madras, Ore, where they
have been working for the Oregon
Short Line as surveyors. They bring
back reports of a hard fight and a
long one and according to their story
the Hill and Hartman forces are
fighting hard over the Deschutes
risht-of-way.
The snow has become too deep for
work in the field now and all of the
men who have been working for the
Hill road have been laid off. although
the Hartman forces are still on the
job. Locating work is nearly finished
at last and should be wound up dur
ing the coming spring, according to
the Missoula men.
The two great railroad systems
the Hartman road, called for the
present the Desehutes railway. and
the Hill line. the Oregon Trunk rail-
road-are making things hot in the
nov famous Deschutes valley. This
lately discovered opening into the
north is the gage of hattie and neither
side has been losin. any opportunity

Now the fight has conferred on the

hot one.
Both roads cross the Columbia river
near The Dailes and go down the
Deschutes canyon into California,
where the connection with San Fran
cisco is an easy one. The fight is
not finished yet by far and both roads
are stili about even in the race. Al
though the Hartman forces are still
in the field. progress is necessarily
slow and il will remain for the spring

TRADE AND INDUSTRY.

Northwestern timber alagnates have
failed to complete the combine begun in
Chicago some weeks ago. Another meet
ing was held at Duluth, but some Of the
large timber owners were still opposed TO
the consolidation.
The G.. A. Smith Timber Company, with
headquarters in Minneapolis, will apply
the principle of rcforestation TO upward
Of half a million acres of timber land.
This action results directly from the ac-
ton which is to be taken up by lumber
men throughout America.
The property of the Northwestern Co
operative Coal and Dock Company was
sold under foreclosure proceedings at Ash
land. Wis, to the Northern Dredge Com
pany of Duluth for $1OO,707 the amount
of the dredging claims. The company
was started about three years ago by
farmers of the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa
and Wisconsin,. Ihe expense of promOt-
ing the project is said to have been heavy
and the organizers, it is said, were Vt
terly fought by coal magnates.

MISSOURI GUSTS OIL TRUST.
Standard of Indiana, Republic and
Waters-Pierce Fined $4,000 Each.

Standard of Indiana, Republic and
Waters-Pierce Fined $4,000 Each.
Declaring that the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana, the Republic Oil Com
pany of Ohio and the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company of Missouri had conspired n
combined to ~monopolize the oil bust
ness in the State, the Supreme Court
Of Missouri has issued a decree GUST
ing all three from the commonwealth
and fining them $4,000 each.
The decree against the Water-Pierce
company is tempered by the proviso
that it may continue in business II by
Jan. 10. 1909, it can show to the court
that it has taken steps to operate as
an independent concern and has salts
fed the judgment against it. The other
companies are given until March I,
1909, to wind up their affairs in the
State.
The decision, which was unanimous
on the part of the seven judges, and
was written by Judge Woodson, is so
sweeping that Attorney General Hadley
and Governor Folk hail it as the end
of illegal commercial combinations in
Missouri, and the former asserts that,
in conjunction with the decision OF the
Supreme Court of the United States in
the tobacco trust case, it will affect sim
ilar suits in other States.

A Post Card Panic.

The post card business is seriously de
pressed at present, while some of the
great foreign markets are bordering on
panic. Over-production and wild specu-
lation in the commodity are the causes.
The public has watched the gradual en-
croachment of the souvenir post card
with surprise, perhaps, but without re-
alizing the proportions of the
industry. In order to supply the little
stands in every store. at every cross roads
the country over. an immens industry
has been developed in practically all civ
iiized lands. incidentally the United
States imported from Germany in a sim
gle year more than S6,OOO.ON o worth OF
the bits Of cardboard. The post card
panic is most acute at present in Ger
many. The card industry lost heavily,
as large orders were Cancelled.

DR.. F. w. Grundman of St. Louis
who has recently recovered from the
dreaded disease, lockjaw, which he con-
ractcd as THE result of a cut on the knee,
caused by a fall from a street car, gives
an interesting account of how he follow
ed the symptoms from the first indica-
ton. About q week after the accident.
when the knee was all healed, he noticed
that he had a slight fever and that the
muscles of his neck panied and were con-
stricted. ~Spasmodic jerkings of the
limbs followed, and soon the muscles of
the jaw began slowly to contract. He
sent for a doctor and used all his will
power to control the muscles until the
physician arrived with the antitoxin
serum. In one day about a fluid ounce
was injected, and though the jaws con-
tinued to lock, a victory was finally won
and the doctor lives to tell the story.
