STANDARD OIL IS
DECLARED ILLEGAL
DISSOLUTION ORDERED BY
FEDERAL COURT.
EVASION is PROHIBITED
Decree Becomes Effective in 30
Days-Dividends to Parent
Company Restrained.

ST. Paul, Mimi Nov. 22-In an
opinion written by Judge Sanborn,
of St. Paul, and concurred in by
Judges Vandeventer, Hook and
Adams, with a special concurring
opinion by Judge Hook, the United
States circuit court for the Eastern
district of Missouri, handed down an
opinion declaring the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey an illegal
combination operating in restraint
of trade and ordered its dissolution.
The opinion was filed simultane
ously in ST. Louis and in St. Paul
In this decision the government
gains a sweeping victory. Accord
ing to Frank B. Kellogg, special
prosecutor, the government has won
every point for which it contended.
The decree filed by Judge Sanborn
is comprehensive and enjoins the
Standard Company, its directors, Of
6cers. servants and employees from
voting stock in any of the subsidiary
companies, and from exercising or
attempting to exercise any control
over the acts of these subsidiary
companies.
The subsidiary companies are en-
joined from declaring or paying any
dividends to the Standard Company
and from permitting the latter COM
pany to vote any stock in or sdirect
the policy of the subsidiary com
panies
But the defendants are not pro-
hibited from distributing rateably to
the shareholders of the principal
company the shares to which they
are equitably entitled in the stocks
of the defendant corporations that
are parties to the combination.
The decree becomes effective in
80 days, when no doubt stay will
be granted for the purpose of an ap-
peal When the decree takes effect,
unless stay is granted an injunc-
ton will issue restraining the Stand
ard Oil Company from further con-
tinuance of its business under its
present formation

WASHINGTONIANS MAY VOTE
Taft Wants Democratic Form of
Government for District.

Washington, Nov. 23.-President
Taft has decided that Washington
and the District of Columbia shall
have, in common with the rest of
the country, a democratic form of
government-if he can bring it
about With this end in view it
is his purpose to recommend to
congress radical changes in the gov
eminent which will give the resi-
dents of the district right to vote
The present seat of our national
government is more autocratic than
that of any other city in the world.
The citizen here has no other civil
rights than the right to pay taxes.
Just how far President Taft is
disposed to go in granting the
Washingtonians what they want is
not known, but it is certain that
he will urge congress to provide for
one commissioner instead of three,
and to have him elected by the peo-
pie,

CANAL HALF DONE
COST IS DOUBLED
TSTHMIAN COMMISSION RE-
PORTS ON PANAMA. /
NEW ESTIMATE S375, 2Oi 900
Original Price of Big Ditch Fixed
at $144,233,sss-Wages and
Material Jump.

Washington, Nov. 23.-With the
Panama Canal virtually half finished,
the members of the Isthmian Canal
Commission awaken to the fact that
this waterway will cost more than
twice the amount of the original
estimate. In other words, it is now
estimated that the canal, when I'm
ished and opened to traffic, will rep
resent a total expenditure of $685.
201 900. When the canal project was
adopted it was estimated to cost
only $144,233,358.
Chairman Tawney, of the house
committee on appropriations, on his
arrival at Panama with his commit
tee, talked of pairing down the es-
Inmates of the commission and re-
ducing the cost of construction. 1t
it not seriously thought, however,
that anything worthy of note could
be accomplished in this direction.
Rather the impression prevails that
when the last dollar has been spent,
the cost of the canal will be found
to exceed rather than run under the
latest estimate of $375,0OO,00o In its
annual report, just made public, the
Isthmian Canal Commission dis
cusses this question of cost, saying:
Wages have increased and the
cost of materials and manufactured
articles has risen. The unsavory rep
utation that the isthmus had re-
garding its healthfulness, made it
necessary to secure labor to increase
the wage scales from 80 to so per
cent over those paid In the United
States for similar classes Of work
Moreover, the provisions of the
eight-hour law were made apph-
cable to the isthmus."

PendleIon. Or. Nov. 22.-Mayor

known to the officers, the occupants
were compelled to produce marriage

stirred up, and it is declared that

against the officers and the mayor

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1909-11-26

when the lion, the tiger, the leopard
and the elephant in vast numbers
roamed the territory where today moth
ing but an occasional white bear or a
Peary-Cook marathon ever breaks the
monotony Of the drear snowscape.
Several times during human history
the earth has passed through the tails
of comets without disastrous results
and the coming summer it will again
essay the venture. The tail of even
so large a comet as Halley's is so at
tenuated, even so bright, that the stars
can be seen shining through it, and
the tail may be millions of miles thick.
But if the speed Of the celestial visitor
should so change SO that its head
should meet the earth, that would be
another story, as Kipling might say.
One can almost imagine the shock,
the terrible heat resultant, the evapora-
ton OF the rivers and seas, the follow
ing torrential rains, and the glacial
cold that would follow the excessive
rains. In ancient times, when it is
claimed a comet collided with the
earth, and with most of the shock cen
tering in what is now the United
States, practically all Of the aborigines
of this part of the globe were undoubt-
edly annihilated. Inscriptions in Cen
trail America tend to show that people
focked to caves in the mountains in
those sections, and there miSerably
persisted from the terrible heat or from
starvation. Today, even though such
catastrophe may occur, modern dis
coveries and inventions may preserve
thousands of the people of today from
the fate of those ancient primitive
people.
Whichever it may be, or whatever
may happen, predictions and worry will
affect nothing whatever. The forces
that govern the swing of the planets
and the flight of comets pay no more
attention to the prayers of human be-
ings than they do to the hopes and
fears of the San Jose scale on a We
natchee valley apple in spraying time.
What is to be will be, and all we poor
humans can do is to so live that what
ever happens we will be prepared to
meet it unafraid. 1t is to be hoped
that everyone of the readers of this ar
ticle will be able to watch the advent
and passage Of the wonderful celestial
visitor with merely the fearless admira-
ton of the immensely of that universe
Of which we are equally as important
and impotent part.
The comet that is to favor US with
visit soon will be with US for weeks,
and both by day and night will be an
awe-inspiring spectacle in the blue
vault above US. It will sweep in a
blaze across the armament and during
its closest approach will stretch over a
third across the heavens and equal in
brilliance a procession of ninety full
moons.
Those OF an enquiring turn Of mind,
who would like to search the skies for
the wonderful visitor, can keep an eye
on the constellation of Orion, for the
comet is moving toward our sun from
the southeastern part of this constella-
ton, somewhat near Sirius, the bright
est of all fixed stars. 1t will be sight
which very few OF our readers will live
to see repeated. G. E. B.

GROUND TO PIECES BY TRAIN
Brakeman Ball of Great Northern Meets
FrightfuI Death Between krupp
andxsWiISon Creek

A brakeman named Ball met with
horrible death near Wilson Creek
Wednesday night of last week. A
freight train, of which he was one OF
the crew, pulled out of Wilson Creek,
eastbound, and when the train reached
Krupp the conductor missed the brake
man and wired back to know if he had
been left behind. A search along the
the track revealed some fragments OF
flesh. The unfortunate mans hat,
gloves and lantern were found, and
further on a portion of one leg, part
of the brain and several teeth were dis
covered along the track. Later in the
day one arm and part of the mans
head were found west OF Krupp. The
portions of the body found were en-
closed in a box and sent to Wilson
Creek.
There was a cold rain falling the
night of the accident and the car roofs
were slippery with sleet. 1t is sup
posed Ball slipped and fell between
the cars, his clothes probably catching
and holding him until he was ground
to pieces The young man lived in
Spokane, his father being in the en-
ploy of the Northern Pacific.
