MONTANA LUMBER INTERESTS
MADE ONE GIGANTIC TRUST
"A. {. M. Co. Takes Over Big Black
foot---Holds Legalized Monopoly
of Lumber Business of State

A deed transferring the holdings of
the Big Blackfoot Milling company
to the Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany was filed in the county clerk and
recorders office yesterday. The in
strument transfers property situated
in Ravalli Missoula, Powell Sanders,
Granite and Lincoln counties. The
property transferred is real, personal
and mixed consisting chiefly of saw
mills at Bonner and elsewhere, land
and standing timber.
The filing of this deed marks the
last act in the merging of the lumber
interests of Montana into one gigantic
monopoly, only one of the string held
by the Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany. The merger was made possible
by an act passed by the last legisla-
ture known as House Bill No. 100.
Trusts of Any Size.
The section of the law making pos
sivble the formation of a trust of any
size provides that it is lawful TO
purchase or otherwise acquire, own, |
hold, mortgage, pledge, sell, assign,
transfer or otherwise dispose of shares
of the capital stock of, or any bonds. |
securities, or other evidences of in
debtedness created by any other cor
poration or corporations wherever or
ganized with all the rights, powers
and privileges of ownership thereof"
Under the above provision the prin-
cipal industries of the state have
passed into the hands of the Anaconda
Copper Mining company, successors
to the outlaw New Jersey Amalaga-
mated Copper company, which was or
ganized by Standard Oil and allied
interests to take over all copper and
kindred industries of Montana. The
purpose of the law manifestly was to
legaliZe and domesticate this colossal
within the state of Mon
tana, incidentally comforting monop-
oily powers upon it and affording
safe refuge from the antitrust laws of
other states and the national govern

The famous sideboard rested on top

the fence gave way with crash.
Cheers from the enthusiastic patrl-

Swear words from the nonenthusi-
astlc truckmen.
Threats Of life Imprisonment from
the two cops.
Orders and gestures from Mr. Bow
ser.
OF course there were various sugges-
tions of more or less practical value.
A civil engineer suggested that the
house be moved out over the sideboard
to solve the problem.
A plumber suggested that II he were
given chance to stop few leaks and
