w. w. Broughton, traffic manager
Of the Great Northern Railway, de-
clared that this years wheat crop is
going to break all known records. l
have come across the country slowly, !"
said Mr.. Broughton recently, for
the express purpose Of getting out
among the producers and wheat deal
ers to ascertain crop conditions. Not
for many years has the vast stretches
Of country from Minnesota to the
Sound been so prolific with its wheat
yield. The crop in Washington state
is especially good and heavy. l have
crossed the country many times but
never did I see a people so happy and
contented with their lot as the farmers
in the region tapped by the Great Nor
them and its branches. Railways keep
just as good account of the crops as
the banks and grain dealers. We also
know what is doing in districts other
than our own. So it seems reason
able to say that with good crops from
Minnesota to salt water, from the
Platte to the Saskatchewan in Canada,
the entire west will enjoy remarkable
prosperity this year. I look for the
greatest travel the west has ever seen
between the middle Of July and the
middle Of September"

you've got to remember that the Spo-

that we're going to get some prizes
this year. And what's more you're
going to turn that calf loose and 60 to
the barn and study some. Go along
now, and give me a chance to cook

Mr.. Lubkins stared moodily at the
saffron calf for an interval OF such ex-
asperating length to his wife that she
wrathfully shook him by one shoulder.

gently detaching himself from his

to the barn.
But what I was thinking OF main
ly," said Mr.. Lubkins, retracing his
steps after unloosing the saffron colored
heifer, was OF her looks in the live

parade last year, with all the sight of
people looking down from the grand
stand at the Spokane race track, Sadie.

Lubkins, beating a nervous tattoo with
her clenched knuckles on the half

you couldn't get it through your thick
head that old Stuckel was glad to trade
his Dick, going on five years-even if
he did get the ribbon last year-for a

VESTS TRIBUTE TO THE DOG
The One Friend of Man Who Sticks to Him
Thru Good and Evil Report

The following deserving tribute to
the dog was uttered by George G. Vest,
before he became United States Sen
ator from the state of Missouri. He
represented client whose dog had
been wantonly shot by a neighbor and
who asked 5000 damages for the kill
ing of the dog.
When Vest finished speaking, the
jury, after two minutes deliberation,
awarded the plaintiff $500. The full
text of the speech follows:
Gentlemen Of the jury-The best
friend man has in the world may turn
against him and become his enemy.
His son or daughter that he has reared
with loving care may prove ungrateful.
Those who are nearest and dearest to
US, those whom we trust with our hap
piness and our good name may become
traitors to their faith. The money that
a man has he may lose. 1t flies away
from him, perhaps when he needs it
most. A mans reputation may be
sacrificed in a moment OF ill-considered
action. The people who are prone to
fall on their knees to do US honor when
success is with US may be the first to
throw the stone OF malice when failure
settles its cloud upon our heads. The
one absolutely unselfsh friend that man
can have in this selfish world, the one
that never deserts him, the one that
never proves ungrateful or treacherous
is his dog. Gentlemen of the jury
a mans dog stands by him in prosper
ity and poverty, in health and sickness.
He will sleep on the cold ground
where the wintry winds blow and the
snow drives fiercely, if only he may be
near his masters side. He will kiss
the hand that has no food to offer, he
will lick the wounds and sores that
come in encounter with the roughness
of the world. He guards the sleep Of
his pauper master as if he were a
prince. When all other friends desert
he remains. When riches take wings
and reputation falls to pieces he is as
constant in his love as the sun in its
journey through the heavens. II for
tune drives the master forth an outcaSl
in the world, friendless and hopeless,
the faithful dog asks no higher privilege
than that of accompanying him tc
guard against danger, to fight against
his enemies, and when the last scene
of all comes, and death takes the
master in its embrace and his body i:
laid away in the cold ground, no matter
if all other friends pursue their way
there by his graveside will the noble
dog he found, his head between hi:
paws, his eyes sad but alert in watch
fitness, faithful and true even to death

The women of Washington are now
prepared to wage an active campaign
for the ballot in this state. They will
90 into the field at once to agitate in
behalf Of the constitutional amendment
that is to be voted on next year. They
are unit on this proposition and ex-
pect to make considerable Roadway
from this time forth. A great deal OF
enthusiasm was aroused at the suffrage
conventions held in Seattle recently.
Though there were some differences
as a result OF over-zealousness on the
part of some of the suffragists, no SER
ious rupture resulted and the confer
ences ended tremendously. Many
speakers OF national and international
prominence were present and the
Washington sufragists will have the
cooperation OF the entire organization
in their contest for the right to vote.

NEWS LETTER
Already More Than Million People Have
Visited The fair

This week will see the million mark
in attendance passed at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacifc Exposition. The show
ing is more than gratifying to the man
agement and President J. E. Chilberg
says that all estimates have been sur
passed. Twenty-Five per cent more
persons than were counted on have
passed through the gates and as the at
tendance is growing steadily, there is
every reason to believe that the big
show will be witnessed by more than
1000, 900 by the time the gates close
in October. Pleasing almost beyond
expression to the directors is the fact
that all persons who come, go away
thoroughly satisfied. The early visitors
are giving the fair more publicity than
any other source. Even now arrange
ments are being made to accommodate
larger crowds. So far the daily attend
ance is more than $4,000 and it is
said that this number will be doubled
next month. As result of the show
ing made, it is certain that the fair will
make money for the stock holders.
Brokers are trying to buy exposition
paper, but its holders do not care to
sell as they are willing TO retain the
profit on the investment themselves.

In the death of Francis W. Cush-
man of Tacoma, who represented the
second Washington district in Congress
for many years, the State loses one Of
its ablest servants. Possessing
genial disposition and the talent Of
humor, he had only friends. His ser
vices in Congress made him a nat
ional figure and fellow congressman
all declare that "Cush' as they loved
to call him, will be missed when that
body convenes again. Governor Hay
has said he will not call special cleo
ton, but will defer TO the legislature
at the coming session to fill the vacancy.
Already there are a number of pros
pective candidates, among them being
J. W. Slayden, M. X. Smell, ]. M.
Ashton, w. H. Paulhamus and J. B.
Bridges. The death Of Congressman
Cushman removes a formidable can
didate from the coming senatorial con-
test when Samuel H. Piles term ex-
pires next year. The Tacoma repre-
sentative had strong following and
would have been an important factor
had he gone after the plum seriously
Even now, it begins to appear as II
the political wind is beginning to veer
about in favor of former Senator J. L.
Wilson. The White river Journal,
which is one of the strongest King
County newspapers outside of Seattle,
says that voters are going to see strange
things happen by the end of the pres
ent year. 1t declares that Piles friends
who stood with him in the Ankeny
fight, are now deserving him, because
they have seen the light, referring
to Senator Jones' victory.

NOTED SUFFRAGETTE
TELLS ABOUT BOTH
BRANCHES OF WORK

CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-"The sufrragette
movement in England is not "a superficial
smoke or reek that will vanish when
they will get tired of It,"
Mrs. Philip SnOwden, leader of the
conservative wing of the suffrage move
ment in Engiand-the party that does
not approve of the militant tactics of
the sufrragettes paid her fighting
sisters that tribute last night as she dis
cussed the question of woman suffrage
in general.
"Of COURSE" she said, you know that
there are two parties in the suffrage
movement in England-what we call the
suffragists and what are called the
suffragettes. The difference may be best
described in the words of the little boy
in the east end OF London.
lone of his companions asked him to
tell the difference, and this little fellow
said: The difference between the suffra-
gist and the suffragette is that the
suffragist jist wants to git the vote and
the suffragit will git it,"

STANDARD OIL TRUST
ORDERED DISSOLVED

Standard Oil trust becomes effective
in thirty days when, no doubt, a stay
will be granted for the purpose of an
appeal.
When the decree takes effect, unless
a stay is granted, an injunction will
issue restraining the Standard OIL COM
pany from a further continuance of its
business under its present formation.
1t appears from the concurring opin-
ion written by Judge Hook that the
company cannot do business under any
other form with the object of sitting
competition, for he says on this sub
ject that 1t Is thought that with the
end of the combination the monopoly
will naturally disappear but should it
not do so and the members of the COM
bination retire from it, except one who
might perpetuate the monopoly by the
aggregation Of the physical properties
and instrumentalities. 1t would consti-
tute violation of the decree Of the
court.
In the trial the point was made that
the Standard Oil company was benef-
icent corporation in that it, by reason
of economy in operation, reduced the
price of its product. This, Judge Hook
says, can have no weight. The suit was
begun by direction of the federal attor-
ney general in St Louis, November Is,
1906 Frank B. Kellogg of st. Paul was
appointed a special prosecutor, assisted
by Charles b. Morrison of Chicago,
Frank II. Poole and J. H. Graves of the
department of justice, w. H. Higgins
of Minneapolis and c. A. Severance Of
st. Paul.
The Standard Oil company presented
a formidable array of legal talent. led
by John G.. Milburn of New York
Their defense was that the present or
ganization of the Standard Oil corpora
ton was the result of the snatura
growth of a great industry and that no
statute had been violated.

police and fire departments returned to
duty, and the residents of the city VINO

zcns last night The meeting adopted
resolution asking the mayor and city
council to call another election on the
$50 900 bond issue for corporate ex-
penses, and asked the mayor to REIN
state the police and firemen at once, to-
gether with all other city employees who
had been dismissed
Mayor Buck issued the necessary order
Immediately and the police and firemen,
most of whom were at the meeting, went
back to work at once.

HEROIC ACTION OF
CREW SAVES LIVES OF
EIGHTY PASSING

The st. Croix was owned by the North
Pacific Steamship company of Seattle
She was brought south about six weeks
ago as one of the vessels of an lnde-
pendent line between San Francisco and
Southern California points, organized TO
compete with the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company. The advent of the 1t.
Croix on the run between san Francisco
and the south resulted in rate war in
which the fare from Los Angeles to san
Francisco was cut as low as 81. As
result of the low rate all steamers have
been crowded with passengers TO their
utmost capacity.
The ST. CrOix was built in Bath, Me-,
in 1895. She was 2iO.7 feet long, 4O.i
feet beam and 25.o feet depth of hold.
Her gross registered tonnage was 1893
and net tonnage 1864 tons. She carried
a crew of 50, and her engines developed
27OO indicated horsepower.

.N T. PAUL, Nov. 20.-In al
~ opinion written by Judge
NJ Walter II. Sanborn of St
Paul and concurred in by Judge
Vandeventer, Judges Hook anc
Adams and with special concur
ring opinion by Judge Hook, the
United States circuit court of the
eastern district of Missouri hand
ed down an opinion today declar-
ing the Standard Oil company oi
New Jersey an illegal combination
operating in restraint of trade
and ordered its dissolution.
The opinion was filed simultan
eously in St. Louis and in St
Paul. In this decision the gov
ernment of the United States
wins a sweeping victory and, ac-
cording to Frank B. Kellogg, spe-
cial prosecutor, the government
has won every point for which ii
contended.
The decree filed by Judge San
born is comprehensive and en-
Joins the Standard company, Its
directors, officers, agents, servants
and employees from voting any
stock in any of the subsidiary
companies and from exercising OF
attempting to exercise any con-
troll. direction, supervision or in
Auence over the acts of these sub
sidiary companies by virtue OF its
holding of their stock.
The subsidiary companies, their otfi-
GERS. directors, servants and employees
are enioined from declaring or paying
any dividends to the Standard company
on account of any of the stock or these
subsidiary companies held by the
standard company and from permitting
the latter company to vote any stock
in. or to direct the policy of the SUD
sidiary companies, or to exercise any
control whatsoever over the corporate
acts of any of the subsidiary companies
by virtue of such stock, or by virtue of
the power over the subsidiary corpora
tions acquired by means of the illegal
combination, or by the use of liquid
ating certificates. But the defendants
are not prohibited from distributing
rateably to the share holders 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.
Monopoly Must Cease
The defendants are enjoined from
continuing or carrying into effect the
combination adjudged illegal hereby
and from entering into or performing
any like combination or conspiracy, the
effect of which is to restrain commerce
in petroleum; or to prolong the unlaw-
full monopoly of either by the use of
liquidating, or by making any express
or implied agreement or arrangement
like that adjudged Illegal to the control
or management of any of the corpora
tions or the price or terms of purchase.
or of sale, or the rates of transportation
of petroleum or its products, or relative
to. the quantities thereof purchased,
sold, transported or managed by any
corporations which will have a like
effect in restraint of commerce.
The case will be appealed direct to
the United States supreme court, as the
judges who signed todays decree are
in effect the judges of the United States
circuit court of appeals, although they
were sitting for the purpose of trying
this case as the circuit court for the
eastern district of Missouri.
