CLAIM Is
REJECTED
CITY COUNCIL OF CHELAN RE-
FUSES TO REFUND LICENSE
MONEY OF A WET GOODS DIS
PENSER.

The town of Chelan will not re-
fund Josh Clarys balance of un-
earned license money unless it is
forced to do so by the courts of the
state. Clary's claim for 1928 with
interest at six per cent, which grew
out of the revocation of his license
three years ago, was handed down
to the present council as legacy
from two previous councils, and was
brought up for hearing at the regu-
lar meeting last Monday. With re-
cent decisions of the supreme court
of Washington as guide to its ac-
ton, the council voted to reject the
claim and let the claimant force col
lection in the courts if he can.
The council also voted to table
Capt. J. P. Boland's claims for 5000
damages on account of the raise in
grade at the south approach of the
Woodin avenue bridge, and a special
committee, which had been appoint
ed at a previous meeting, was in
structed to proceed at once to have
a survey made of West Woodin ave-
nue. to determine the exact location
of the street, as a guide to future
action by the council on matters in
reference to the new bridge-Chelan

REPORT Oh QUINCY
PROJECT
ENGINEER JACOBS SUBMITS RE-
PORT ON FEASIBILITY OF BIG
PROJECT FOR RECLAMATION
OF QUINCY FLAT.

The people of the Quincy valley
will be rejoiced to know that the re-
port of Engineer Joseph Jacobs, who
has been working for the Quincy VAL
ley Water Users association since
last October, has been received by the
secretary, A. j. Ternent.
Owing to the distance at which
some of the officials live it will not
be possible for them to meet for sew
eral days, after which the report will
be published. The general under
standing is that the report is favor
able both from a physical and finan-
cial standpoint. The course from the
west seems to be the most feasible
one, but at this writing we are I'M
able to give the comparison in fig
ures between the two routes.
The report, we understand, covers
the pumping proposition fully, gaso-
line and electric power both being
considered. This in itself is quite
valuable.
Another excellent item of news
af1oat is that in the same mail which
brought the engineers report was a
letter from parties representing east
ern capital inquiring as to the pos
sibility of beginning negotiations for
financing the project. Those people
had been given report by Jacobs
and their haste in making inquiries
shows plainly that the cost is well
within the limits of commercial feas-
Utility.
The project is at last actually I'M
der way it seems, and we trust that
we may be able to give the report of
Mr.. Jacobs in full in our next issue
Ephrata Journal.

APPEAL WILL BE MADE MONDAY
FROM THE ADVERSE JUDO
MENT WHICH WAS MADE DIS
SOLVING THE CORPORATION.


Washington, March 1.-THE most
serious legal battle that Standard
Oil' has ever faced will confront it
next Monday.
That is the day set by the supreme
court of the United States to hear
arguments on the appeal of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
from the adverse judgment of the
United States circuit court for the
Eastern district of Missouri, which
ordered the dissolution of the New
Jersey corporation as an illegal COM
bination and monopoly in restraint
of interstate commerce. To point out
the alleged errors Of the circuit
court in it's findings and in its de-
cree, the keenest intellects within
command have been procured. To
argue for the affirmance of the de-
cision of the lower court, Mr.. Wick
ersham, the Attorney General of the
United States, himself will head a
brilliant array of counsel for the gov
eminent.
The circuit court announced grave
findings against the seven individual
defendants, John D. Rockefeller,
William Rockefeller, Henry M. Flag
Ter, Henry H. Rogers, John D. Arch
bold, Oliver FL. Payne and Charles
M. Pratt, the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey and other defendant
companies.
The court found that in 1899, by
an exchange of stock by the seven
individuals, the Standard Oil company
Of New Jersey acquired the legal title
to majority of the stock of 10 COM
panies, which in turn controlled
large number of others, all but one
engaged in the oil business.
What it found as to this combina-
ton was that:
That since 1899 the affairs of all
these companies have been managed
by the principal company as the bus
mess of single person, so as to fix
for them the price Of crude oil, the
rates for transportation and the SELL
ing prices of its products.
That the par value of the combined
capital stock in 1899 was about
500, 100000, and that in 1908 it
was $50, 100000.
That IL of these companies owned
54,565 miles Of pipe lines.
That six of these companies had
3,574 selling stations throughout the
United States.
That these companies from 1899
to 1907 produced more than one
tenth of the crude oil obtained in
this country.
That they owned and operated
more than one-half of ell the tank
cars used to distribute its products.
That they manufactured more than
three-fourths of all the crude oil re-
fined in the United States.
That they transported more than
four-fifths of the petroleum derived
from the Pennsylvania and Indiana
oil fields.
That they marketed more than
four-fifths of all the Illuminating oil
sold in the United States.
That they exported more than
four-fifths of all the Illuminating oil
sent forth from the United States.
That they sold more than four
fifths of all the naphtha sold in the
United States.

Standard Oils Legal Battle

That they sold more than nine
tenths of all the lubricating oil sold
to railroad companies in the United
States.
On this finding the court decreed:
That the organization of 1899 was
combination or conspiracy in re-
straint of interstate commerce in
petroleum and it's products, such as
the first section of the Sherman an
THRUST act declares is illegal; that
the seven individual defendants, the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
and 80 other companies had entered
into a combination or conspiracy to
monopolize and had in fact monopo-
lized a substantial part of interstate
commerce in violation of the second
section of the Sherman antitrust
act; that 33 other companies accused
were proven not to be in this COM
bination.
The court enjoined the principal
company AMI its directors from ex-
ercising any control over the subsid
larry companies; it enjoined the sub
sidiary companies from declaring or
paying any dividends to the princi-
pal company, but not from distribut.
ing ratably to the shareholders of
the principal company the stock of
the subsidiary company; it enjoined
those found to be in the illegal COM
bination" from continuing in it or
forming a new combination by means
of aggregation of the physical prop
critics in the hands of one member
of the combination, and forbade
those in the combination from en-
gaging in interstate commerce until
the combination was discontinued.
The counsel arrayed in defense of
the Standard Oil includes John G.
Milburn, of Buffalo, N. Y, in whose
home Mckinley died; D. T. Watson
and John G. Johnson, leaders of the
Pennsylvania bar; and Moritz Rosen-
thai, the legal pillar of the Standard
Oil interests. Of these Johnson made
the principal argument to the SUI
preme court in the defense in the
tobacco cases. The defense has urged
that the corporations, which entered
into the organization of 1899, had
not been competitors since 1879; that
the stockholders of the principal
company were the joint owners of
the stock of the subsidiary compan-
les and had the right to convey their
stock in the latter to the former in
trust for themselves, and congress
was without power to restrict their
acquisition, their method of holding
or their disposition of their title to
their property of their use Of it.

were invested in the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey are private.

that If any restraint of trade resulted
from the organization in 1899 it was

stantial.
Attorney General Wickersham
probably will make the principal ar
gument to the court in favor of the
dissolution. Frank B. Kellogg, of
Minnesota, and Charles B. Morrison,
of Chicago, have been most active
in the preparation of the cast against
the defendants. Their arguments
were upheld in the main by the low
er court.
The business world is awaiting the
outcome OF the suit to know what
effect 1t will have upon the future,

SAVED BY AN ELEPHANT

An "old Snowman" tells the fol ow-
ing exciting story of his experience
when connected with a well known
menagerie during an engagement at
a town in Kentucky: after the eX-
hibition was over,' he y, q pass ed
into the menagerie to talk to the
Watchman. For some cause he was
absent from his post, and / walked
across the amphitheater iowa d my
old friend, the elephant, to give him
an apple, for we were the best of
friends. He was one of the larges t
elephants 1 ever saw, and VS. as good
natured as he was large.
Il was about half way acrCss the
ring when 1 heard a grOWl, and ook-
ing around saw to my horror one of
the lions out of his cage anl ap-
preaching me in a croIch ng ma lner,

QUEER LAWS OF eRAvlTATIoN

A man falling from a three STORY
building in New Orleans VIII not fall
as fast as he would if he were in New
York city. In fact, in hardly any two
places will he fall with the same speed.
This is because as we go toward the
equator the force of gravity gets less
and less, and consequently the accel-
Grafton of a falling body becomes less
and the force of impact is therefore
less.
While it does not make very much
difference in the injury to person
falling from a height, it does make a
difference in other things. Take a rifle
and fire it exactly horizontally, and,
if the gun is sixteen feet above the
ground. say at New York, the bullet
fired from such rifle will strike the
ground in exactly one second after it
leaves the rifle. If the bullet has a
horizontal velocity of a thousand feet
per second, it will strike the earth
exactly 1000 feet away. Let US take
the same rifle to a place where the
force of gravity is not the same as at
New York. but a good deal smaller,
say two-thirds smaller. We find that
if the gun is placed sixteen feet above
the ground as before, and absolutely
horizontal, the bullet will not fall the
sixteen feet in one second, but will
take over one and a half seconds to
fall thus enabling the bullet to be in
the air during that length of time
Therefore it will strike the ground
about 1900 feet away. Thus it is seen
that the range of a rifle is increased
as it is taken toward the equator.
OF course, there is no place on earth
where the force of gravity is two
thirds smaller than at New York. but
there are many places where the diff
ference is considerable enough to af-
feet slightly the range of rihes.-Har-
pers Weekly.

FOUND ROMANCE IN RUINS

Miss Isabel Finley is a newspaper
reporter of Norristown, N. j., who went
far to find her romance. She was in
Italy at the time of the earthquake in
1909 and went to work as all good
Americans did to relieve the suffering.
An Englishman saw her at the work
and was so impressed that he followed
her up and she will be married to him
in January. After her return to this
country she was informed by the Ital-
ian ambassador that, through the in
fluence of King Victor and Queen
Helena, she had been elected an hon
Orary member of the queens board OF
beneficence and that her name had
been enrolled among the benefactors
of the Incurable hospital at Naples.
She received an engraved parchment
to that effect and a letter of thanks
from the lord mayor of Naples

THE WOMAN WITHOUT A MAN

woman will soon be able to enjoy
life without depending on men," re
marked suffragist recently, and from
perhaps another point of view it would
seem that the stronger sex is not so
much in demand as formerly. AS an
escort he is not nearly so necessary as
formerly.
Time was when, il a woman was pop
ular and fond of society, while her hus-
band was not. she had to stay at home
and control her longings for a social
atmosphere as best she might. NOW
if the woman is the more attractive
and popular of the two she is often
invited without her husband, and TINS
treatment causes the husband to wake
up" and make himself little more
socially desirable.
Not so very long ago the married
woman looked down with pity upon her
unmarried friend as she gave enter
tanmentS and went to balls and the
ater parties and had a good time gen
orally while the unmarried one stayed
at home. Now things have grown so
much in the favor of the single woman
that her married friend often enVies
her liberty, her youthful appearance,
caused by the absence of household
cares and above all, her income,
which she can spend as she wills with
out asking anyone's permission. And
indeed there are worse things than
being a bachelor girl nowadays. Wo-
men are firmly established in the busi-
ness world and they are beginning to
be paid large salaries, which would
satisfy many a man. They can go
almost anywhere without an escort-to
the theater, to dinner at many of the
restaurants and TO nearly every KIND
of evening affair.
The prosperous, clever bachelor girl
is in as great demand as the bachelor
man for week ends. She is much more
entertaining than the stay-at-home
girl, and her bright ways and smart
costumes make her a dangerous rival
for the married flirt, who has had
things her way for so long.
Last and not least, she is able to
lay aside money for her old age, which
many a married woman worries over,
and perhaps buy home in the coun-
try which may be hers, no matter what
befalls.
