The Roast Beef of Old England.

Great Britain has been a little severe
on the growth OF trusts in this country.
and has wondered. In her public prints.
that the American public has been so
long-suffering: not realizing. perhaps.
that we have done what we could to
check the growing power Of monopoly,
and have made and are making the best
fight we can. It will be curious. then.
to see just what England herself, will do
now that an American monopoly-the
beef trust-threatens 10 invade her din
nsr tables.
That something was wrong with the
roast beef Of old England was patent
last summer, when at the world-famous
smithfeld market there was a marked
increase Of prices. This was so sharp an
increase and It affected the country az
large so vitaIly, that it led TO an Official
Inquiry by the British government as to
whether the American beef trust has
5ot hold Of the market.
That committee, headed by the energetic
Mr.. Winston Churchill. has just complet-
ed its report, and although It does not say
30 in so many words. It IS evident read
ing between the lines. that the committee
believes its worst fears 10 be confirmed.
To a certain extent the English commit
tees investigations have led It 70 Amer

four big American beef companies, and Il

so as 70 eliminate all serious competi-

It IS difficult to believe that the English
companies representing the four big
American firms in England are competi-
tive to the full extent. Witnesses atti-

The lobby question in its last analysis

we ever had in the past to view and
estimate its magnitude. 1t is an
enormous country. On the trip ele-

The extra crew of trail builders on

week and cashed in. The crew was
in charge of f. B. Meeker and they
made several miles of good trail, a
great deal of it being rock work.
Mrs. John Phillips, of Grangeville,
and her uncle, A. Davis, recent ar

ago when Kooskia was in the hands
of townsite boosters.

pair of shoes.
Because c. A. Day told the Lew

of building a pulp mill in Kooskia,
