MISSOURI "SH0WED'
 THE OIL COMP PANIES

republic, destroy free institutions, and substitute in lieu thereof some other form of government.
 "This record abounds in instances where this unlawful combination has withered the energies of competitors, blighted individual investments in legit- innate business, driven small and hon. est dealers out of business for them- selves and have made them 'hewers of wood and drawers of water for the trust; and has reduced tho price of pe- troleum and at the same time has raised the cost of the various finished products thereof to the great detriment of the producers of the raw material, and to the consumer of the manufac- tured products thereof.n
 The court finds that whenever an in- dependent company reduced prices below those fixed by the trust, or wher- over their aggregate sales exceeded l5 per cent. of all sales in the state, wig orous warfare was waged against them by means of an elaborate system of es- pionage in their business, and cutting prices, or giving rebates, until the in- dependents were glad to throw uptheir hands. "As result of this method" says the opinion, 'the Waters-Pierce Company fixes the prices for which all such oils are sold in the state by all dealers, in- cluding the independent companies, and at the same time and by the same means it controls and monopolizes for itself and the Indiana and the Republic Oil companies from & to 95 per cent. of the entire oil business of the state.
 ''The direct effect of those facts, which are not seriously disputed, was to create by indirection, & pool, trust, and combination in restraint of trade, and to fix and maintain prices at which respondents sold tho products of petro- leum in this state."
 The suit was instituted almost four years ago. The evidence was taken in St. Louis and New York. In tho latter instance John D. Rockefeller remained in New Jersey and avoided Hsdlsy's srbpoena-it being Hadley's wish 10 place him on the witness stand.

PLEASANT
 EVENINGS

sS
 During the past few weeks, on Friday evenings, quite number of residents have been meeting at the home of Commissioner and Mrs. Bevington and have enjoyed several hours by having different gentlemen read aloud from the writings of selected authors upon timely subjects, while the ladies sewed or knitted, after which a general discussion followed.
 There has as yet not been a regularly organized literary soei- ity formed along the lines indi- cated, but in probability there will be in a short time, as much interest has been manifested in the discussions. As a means of familiarizing grown people with topics and questions of the times this sort of pleasant exchange of ideas can hardly be improved upon.

Cameron Visits Hot Springs

John A. Camerson, the widely known inspector of internal revenue, arrived in Hot Springs last Saturday, remained over Sunday, took Monday mornings stage for Panama, where he will attend to official business, and return here to- morrow.
 The Post, taking ''tip" from a tele- gram posted in the local signal office making inquiry as to the whereabouts of ME Cameron late last fall, almost had him lost in the wilds for fair. But after hearing at first hand of the trav- cling he did and the remote settle ments he visited during the period he was out of telegraphic communication, it is surprising he got back as soon as he did.
 There is not man in tho whole of Alaska who is more familiar with the hundreds of highways, byways, trails and unbroken forests than is Mir. Cam eron.

Ed Keogh, arrived in Hot Springs last Friday week and was ready to re- sume his long journey to Innoko on the following day. Just as he was starting to hitch up his big dogteam Frank Stevens blowed in town from Eureka creek on double-ender behind feet footed cayuse. Keogh and Stevens are old-times shipmates, and many parts of the world they have together visited This was their second meet ing in nearly 25 years-the first being in Rampant about 10 years ago. We'll, Ed didn't "mush on" that day; 1t was the next when Frank with his horse gave him and his heavily-loaded sleds g. lift over the divide, and sent him on his lonesome way rejoicing. Mir.

Tanana Citizens
 to Visit Fairbanks

Two we'll known citizens of Tanana-Joe Anicich, proprietor of the Pioneer bar, and Ernest Nichoff, for long time connected with Ed Lees Golden North res. taurant were guests at the Hot Springs hotel last Wednesday night, and resumed their journey for Fairbanks the following day. They are enjoying the trip be- hind a good horse, and will arrive in the upper town Saturday even ing. MT. Anicich expects to be absent from his business only two weeks, but Ernest will re- main until the later part of March.
 Mir. Anicich has been a resi- dent of interior Alaska for over 20 years, and is one of Tanana towns most energetic boosters. He informed The Post that their new commissioner, Judge Phil Gallaher, is proving himself a most capable official.

participated. A caricature of Hot Springs famous mule Maud was drawn on a square of canvas by our local sign writer, MT. Dewey, and was conspicuous by being minus her fly shooer. Each player was given fac sim ile of Maud's missing appenaage, and as their names were called were blindfolded and told to place the missing member as near, that mules southern extremity as the law of gravitation would per init. The game caused no end of fan, and the honors fell to Capt. Sellendar, who placed the miss, ing tail about 3 deg. N. E. of the proper place. MT. Nellany car ried away the consolation prize by placing his mule tail two points above the left ear.
 The next diversion, equally as amusing, consisted of 8 game in which each player drew the name of some animal and then was to draw the same upon sheets of paper mounted for the occasion, and of all the freak menageries that ever saw light, this bunch would carry away the palm. However, there were a few mas terpieces which showed that Mrs. Carvelson, Mrs. Hall, MT. Black and Mir. Davidson knew what an animal looked like when it was absent.
 Mrs. Bevington, assisted by the ladies, are to be given much credit for this enjoyable affair.
 Mir. Davidson showed himself to be royal entertainer and kept the cigars and sweets circulating. The party kept possession of the hall till the small hours of the morning, and those who were not present missed an enjoyable time.

SURPRISE
 FOR DAvY

A purprise party, in which the surprise was genuine, was given in honor of c. A. (Papa) David son by the ladies of Hot Springs on Wednesday evening last.
 The party, which consisted of some thirty couples, met at the home of MT. and Mrs. Drake, whence from there they pro- ceeded in & body to the quarters of the surprised. At about the time the party was to break in on the genial host, he had taken his hat and was about to leave to spend the evening at the home of neighbor, but by the inge- nuity of Lynn Smith, and Mir. Johnson who, under pretense of buying a suit of clothes, kept him busy till the happy party ar rived.
 When the leading couple en- tered the store Devy looked up and with that look we all know so well-said "oh, my soul!" and went on with his work, but when the procession kept filing in-in the words of the German One by one, and two by themselves, also side by each" - it soon dawned upon Dad that he had been jobbed, and he sputtered out "Darn ye!" And for the next 20 minutes there was such cleaning up and dusting and moving of boxes as the A. B. hall had not seen for months.
 The party laden with good things to eat then proceeded to the well-groomed quarters above where general good time was indulged in.
 The opening was a duet by Mrs. Hall and MT. Tyler, who gave that delightful western song, Down Where the Silvery Colorado Wends Its Way"
 Frank Brennan then gave re- citation which was we'll received.
 Mrs. Hall followed, reading that truly western story, The Prospector," in a manner most pleasing.
 The party then sat down to a long table which was laden with delicious refreshments, and after listening to a toast given by MT. J. F. Nellany, all proceeded to enjoy the good things.
 After lunch the first diversion in order was Q game in which all

Jefferson Caty, MO-, Jan. l5.-Oe- claring that the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, the Republic Oil Company of Ohio and the Waters-Pierce Oil Company of Missouri had conspired and combined to monopolize the oil business in Missouri, the state supreme court has issued decree busting all three concerns from the commonwealth and fining them $5o,000 each.
 The decree against the Waters Pierce Company is tempered by the proyiso that it may continue in business if it can show to the court that it has taken steps to operate as an independ- ent concern and has satisfied the judg- ment against it. The other companies are given until March l to wind up their affairs in the state.
 The decision, which was unanimous on the part of the seven judges, is so sweeping that Attorney-General Had ley and Gov. Folk regard it as ending illegal commercial combinations in Missouri, and the former asserts that, in conf unction with the decision of the supreme court of the United States in the Tobacco Trust case, it may affect similar suits in other states.
 It is big victory for Attorney-Gen- eral Hadley, who has prosecuted the Missouri case since its inception in March, 1905. He was inaugurated as governor this month, and is charged with the enforcement of the decree. In q recent interview Gov. Hadley said:
 s'At least three efforts have been made by attorneys for the oil companies 10 get me to com promise the cases. l invariably refused their offers. It was intimated 10 me that the oil companies were willing to accept good large fine and concede victory to the state. The proposals were entirely legitimate.
 "At the time this. suit was begnn there was not 8 suit pending against the Standard Oil trust, state UT federal. The facts as to it's plan of organization were entitely unknown. saw Miss Ida Tarbell and the best-informed per- sons of Wall street, and they could give me DO information upon this question. "I subpoenaed the officers of these companies here in Missouri. and they either said they did not have the in- formation desired or else they declined to answer. then went to New York and subpoenaed H. H Rogers, John D. Archbold and other leading officers of the Standard Oil trust.
 ''It has again been demonstrated that the law is equal to any problem that our complicated commercial system can produce, and that no combination of money and power is above the law or would be permitted to violate it with impunity."
 The court found that the companies conspired-

 To control and limit trade in the re- fined products of petroleum.
 To control and limit and prevent com petition to the buying and selling of these products.
 To deceive and mislead the public into the belief that they were separate and distinct corporation pursuing inde- pendently their business as legitimate competitors.
 In coming to it's decision the court says:
 ''If such abuses as those complained of were permitted to continue untram- meled it would only be 8 aquestion of time until they would sap the strength and patriotism from the very founda- tions of our government. oyerturn the

Modern machinery became a neces-
sity. A company was formed, which,
after a few years of prosperous busl-
ness, was reorganized and succeeded
by the present corporation. Archl-
tects and builders specified. The
Company made good. It's stone is
known and appreciated; its present
output, greatly in excess of any other
quarry in the Pacific Northwest"
MANY advantages are to be gained
in the use of a substantial sandstone
style, structural beauty, strength,
dura bility, and power to withstand
fire. These emphasize strongly it's
desirability over other materials not
possessing, in so marked degree, any
of these superior qualities; while the
important consideration of cost is no
longer prohibitive to all but the few.
Modern machinery and close proximity
to markets have brought our sand
stone within the reach of both home
and public builder"
Mr.. Huston recently turned his at
tention to getting out fireplace which
could be supplied to the home builders
at a reasonable COST and this line has
become immensely popular.
The fireplace is a feature of the
modern home that no one overlooks
these days, and the question with
home builders is not whether they will
have a fireplace or not, but rather,
"where will we get it?" Mr.. Huston
can answer this question with a line
of well constructed stone fireplaces
of varied design, but all in attractive
styles, ready to set up in the home,
and all sold at prices which will COM
mend them to the consideration of
everyone who desires to add the cheer
ing CLOVIS of a fireplace to the COM
forts and attractions of his home.

But there is more to it than that

of feet of valuable lumber, and under
those hills lie immense beds of coal

Tenino have already supplied the stone
for some of the largest churches and
halls and other public buildings in the
Northwest. The country around is
capable of producing large crops OF
fruit and grain and vegetables, as

supply milk and cheese and butter for
the hundreds of thousands in the
cities to the North and South.
Teninos possibilities are not con-
fined to the development of the agri-
cultural and industrial interests alone,
for with the advancement of the Sound
country will come railroad improve

much for Tenino. The opening up OF
the peninsula country will send more
traffic this way over the railroad lines
already in operation, and it is prob
able that within a short time new
