Near OAK, In southwestern Fronto

Is an object OF veneration for tho n.
habitnnts of the surrounding rcglorr
Its short trunk Is encircled with ri.
gantic raised roots. giving IT, at ia
level OF the ground, n circumference q,
50 feet.
The massive branches spread over a
circle so broad that 800 persons can
find room beneath them. The age nj,
the tree Is estimated TO be not less than
1000 years. yet it shows few signs q,
decrepitudc, although the interior O,
the trunk Is hollow. 1t is the first tree
in the ncighborhood to cover itself with

Will ADD HEAVILY
TO RAIL MILEAGE
MORE THAN 600 MILES OF NEW
TRACKS PROJECTED BY TWO
ROADS IN MONTANA.

Helena, Mont, Sept. S.-More than
500 miles of new railway track will
be laid in Montana next year, as a
cost of about s25,00O000. Right OF
way has been secured for the greater
part of this new mileage, and survey
ors are in the field, locating the re-
mainder OF the mileage to be con-
structed.
One Of the most important OF the
new lines is to be constructed as a
CUTOFF for the Northern Pacific, ex-
tending from Glendive to Helena, a
distance of $50 miles. This road will
pass through Dawson, Fergus and
Meagher counties, new and sparsely
settled section, offering many oppor-
tunities for homeseekers. Its chief
purpose Ia to give more direct route
from Minneapolis to the coast, and
II will be used chiefly for mail and
fast freight. 1t will parallel the Mil
waukee road from Miles City to
Meacher, but at an average distance
of twenty five miles.
In connection with the building Of
this 250-mile cutoff, at an estimated
cost of $1O,00o,ooO, announcement is
MADE that the railway company will
colonize large tracts Of its lands. To
indicate the rapid settlement Of Mon
tana, the president of the Northern
Pacific states that $4,000 acres, from
the total of S35. 900 acres that had been
disposed Of during the ten months,
period ending March 81, were in Mon
tana.
1t Is also announced that the Great
Northern will construct g. road south
easterly from Mondak to Lewiston, a
distance of 26s miles. Right of way
has been secured for this road, and
surveyors are in the field selecting the
best route for a further extension from
Lewiston to Helena, an additional dis
lance of more than 100 miles. The esti-
mated cost OF this road is from $12,-
100000 to $15.OO0.O00. In addition to
those two lines that are definitely pro-
jected, several others are to be built.

cry. In 1904 1t acquired the Weber
Wagon Co. and patents of the Betten-
dorf Axe Co. and in 1905 the Kemp
Co. In the first Ave years the sales
of the company in the United States
amounted to nearly 5000, 900 900.
In Missouri the company does about
30 per cent Of all business in agricul-
tural tools, implements, vehicles and
machinery; in the binder line, 80 per
cent; In the mower line, Is per cent,
Attorneys for the company insist that
the organization was a legitimate
transaction in the ordinary course Of
trade. The commissioner found that
this theory could not stand in the face
Of the fact that the old companies
turned over their properties to a COM
pany not yet organized for the pur-
pose, as they declared, of putting an
end to what they called "ruinous
competition" The report points out
that the company was organized to
control the binder and mower business
and that the companies which entered
the combine manufactured practically
nothing except harvesting machinery.
Evasion Of Laws Charged.
In his conclusions, the commissioner
said:
81 find that the International Har-
vester Co. is a combination created for
tho purpose of restraining trade, less
ening competition, regulating, con-
trellings and fixing prices of agricul-
tural implements, tools and machinery
sold and offered for sale in.
"That the international Harvester
Co. Of America is maintained blythe
New Jersey corporation as a sepa-
rate corporate entity for the sole pur-
pose Of making sales of its products
and for that purpose 1t obtained a IL
sence to do business in evasion of the
laws which preclude the international
Harvester Co. of New dorsey from OBJ
tanning license and by means there
OF has secured a practical monopoly in
mowers and power to secure further
monopoly in the sale Of agricultural
tools, implements and machinery in
the state.
"The respondent by becoming,
member of such combination in fur
thering the purposes thereof by the
evasion has been guilty of infraction
OF the anti trust laws and has incurred
the penalty of the lews. l failed to
find any other substantial ground upon
which license to do business in the
state could be forfeited"
The suit was filed by Governor Had
ley when ne was attorney general. His
successor, Attorney General Major OBJ
tanned much evidence. The action
was an inform2 ton in quo warranto
which asked that all franchises and
privileges OF the company in Nilsson
ri be revoked and that It's property be
confiscated or a fine imposed

Mccormick Harvester Co, the Deering
Harvesting Machine CO. were in active
Bushell Glessner g. Co., the Plano
Manufacturing Co. and the Milwaukee
Harvesting Machine c. were in active
competition prior to 1902.
Perkins Brought In.
In June. 1902, Cyrus H. Mccormick
went to George W. Perkins of J. Pier
pont Morgan & Co. of New York and
sought his aid in relieving competition
conditions from the manufacturers
viewpoint. According to the flndings,
Mr.. Perkins soon was in communica-
ton with the other harvesting machine
manufacturers and perfected a plan
whereby the Mccormick company and
other named companies, except the
Milwaukee company, ostensibly sold
their properties to William G. Lane.
Lane, the commissioner found, pre-
tended to sell them to the Interna-
tional Harvester Co.
The original companies received
stock in the new company apportioned
to the appraised value of the proper
ties and for their bill received stock
in the same company equal to the
same amount. The officers of the
original companies, except the Mil
waukee signed practically Identical
contracts at the same time in the
Office of the attorney of J. P. Morgan
g. Co.
Morgan & Co. had previously pur-
chased the Milwaukee company. Lane,
the ostensible purchaser of the origi-
nal companies, the commissioner
found, was a flgurehead. The new
company was managed by former off,
GERS of the old companies, as was the
International Harvester Co. of Am
erica
The whole stock OF the New Jersey
corporation was transferred to a vet
ing trust composed of George w. Per-
hns, Cyrus II. Mccormick and Charles
Deering, who now have control until
1912.
Control Binding Works.
The commissioner found that these
men practically control the bindings
works and have control OF other lines
OF harvesting machinery In the United
States. Soon after the organization Of
the So called harvester combine, the
report says. 1t acquired the ID. M
Osborne Co. and operated 1t ostensibiy
as an independent concern for two
years. Other companies acquired In
1908 are the Columbia Cordage Co.
Illinois Northern Railroad Co.. Ault
man Miller Co., Minnie Cap and the
Keystone Co, the last three being
manufacturers Of harvesting machin.
