The Most Sensational indictments Yet

New York, June 29.-What promises
to be the most sensational and far.

government has ever undertaken is
expected to take definite form today
when federal grand jury which has
been securing evidence against GER

Steel corporation, its subsidiaries and
many important steel companies
makes it's report.
High Financiers Involved.
1t is known that the findings of the
grand jury promise to be a greater
revelation than any of the published
rumors have indicated. Criminal in.
dictments charging conspiracy to con
troll the prices of steel and steel pro
ducts, the country over, involving men
high up in the financial world, are
said to be ready.
The governments investigations
have even gone further and are SAID
to have reached a prominent law firm
of this city which has for several years
been identified with many socalled
trust contracts and pooling agree
ments.
Get Secret Agreements.
Some evidence presented to the
grand jury is said to show the stee
business in the United States has beer
divided by agreement into about TWEEN
~ popls. The pools, it is said, have
been formed by agreements, little sub
sidiaries Of the steel corporation and
many of the Independents. Agents o.
the government in their investigations
have come into possession of con
tracts, agreements and minutes o.
meetings of steel men.
The governments action is directed
more against the trust within the
trust" than against the steel corpora
tion alone, although the evidence lait
before the grand jury is said to be
Criminal Action Separate.
While the bureau of corporations a

CONSOLIDATION OF COUNTY
SCHOOLS.

From every indication the consoli
dalton question that has been troub
ling the county is effectually disposed
of for some time to come; certainly
for two years. The measure which was
introduced in the present Legislature
missioners would have no power to
segregate or dissolve county school
districts of the first class after once
being consolidated as such, has pas.
sed both houses and has been signed
by the governor. This legal acknow-
ledgment of the permanency OF THE
Cache county condition as 1t nov
stands, together with the accumula
ton of the great many friends which
consolidation has won because of its
successful working. will no doub. re-
move any further efforts to disinte-
crate the combined districts.
We think this is as 1t should be. II
is true that the people should rule
and that evidently many persons were
ignored when it came to the matter
OF giving the county consolidation
But that is past history. Evidently
the county today would vote for con
solidation, no matter what the views
on the subject were two years ago.
Today consolidation is victor. Inas-
much as it is legally so, according to
act of the legislature, the people
should be very glad to let the matter
rest and actually get behind the coun-
ty board of education and boost. Bet.
ter schools mean better civilization,
and under consolidation everybody
should therefore work for better
schools, Forget past difficulties and
bitter feelings, for they will only TO-
ment more trouble and keep i'll feel.
ings constantly astir. Boost the coun-
ty schools to their proper position.

public right on this proposition
submit herewith the true details OF
the whole affair.
An assessment was levied on the
capital stock of the West Cache Can.
al company. payable at a certain date,
the notice stating that all stock on
which assessments were not paid on
the date named would be advertised
and sold according to law to pay the
assessment A considerable number Of
stockholders in sympathy with the
methods of the holding company re-
Gently organized, failed to pay the as
sessment within the time stated in
the notice. The Cache Valley Orchard
CCmpany's assessment amounted to
S1,400.00. At the very last minute the
orchard company gave a check for
this amount and the check was turn
ed down by the bank on which it was
issued. After the happening Of all
this comes the stockholders meeting
for the election of directors. Against
the protest of the writer and others
the orchard company voted its stock
at this meeting-stock upon which the
assessment had not been paid stock
that should have been sold weeks be-
fore to pay the s1,400.O0 due the
West Cache Canal company. Several
others were allowed to do just as the
orchard company did, and they all
voted for the interests of the holding
company above referred to.
In conclusion | might add that he
West Cache Canal company made no
effort whatever to collect the overdue
above stated unit, they
were told that further delay on their |
part would necessitate the procuring |
a writ of mandate from the court to
compel the company to do its duty

FEWER JAPANESE.

Fear that Japanese laborers will
take the place of American laborers
can scarcely claim good, nurturing
ground any longer, for in the reports
OF Japanese officials it is plainly de.
monstrated that instead of more jap
anese coming into America more by
far are leaving for their native homes.
In the years 1908, 1909 and 1910.

not be alarmed at the prospects of a
too large influx of these laborers. In
fact, II the same proportion of depar.

next few years it will be but a short
time before that laborer will be but
a thing of the past In 1910 only 1874
