Jack Gravrock came in last week from Gypsum and will visit in Douglas until about the 10th of the month. Jack has been working at Gypsum for one year, and is intensely interested in the progress being made there. The mine, which is situated about three quarters of mile from the beach, is in charge of Mir. Thos. Fl. George, superintendent, and our friend Jack GraVrock foreman. A large increase in the output has been made the past year which will be still greater this summer, when the working force will be increased from IS to 50 men. The gypsum rock is mined in much the same manner as the workings at Treadwell, with large stopes and the aid of gravity. However, the drilling is done there with augers instead of power drills. The rock is hauled to the wharf by steam cars and shipped to Tacoma, where it Is ground and made useful to man in many forms which range all the way from cement, plaster and fertilizer to false teeth. The big freighter Seward is at Gypsum this week taking a cargo of 5000 tons.

This moral effect cannot he adequately

either carrying out specific orders of.
say, the board OF directors. or else may
be endeavoring to make 1t possible to
cut some big dividend melons.
A second reason for no prison sentences
under tho Sherman law is doubtless this:
Previous to the passage Of the Sherman
law in 1890 the idea that combination
was a thing very much to be desired
had taken root so deeply in the minds of
the business men Of the country that up
until the Supreme Court decisions the
other day against the oil and tobacco
trusts twenty years Of fierce legal strife
under the Sherman law had not been suf-
f1cient to remove that notion.
The trial judges have realized this
feeling and what might be called ig-
norance on the part of the business world
and have stopped short of sending trust
individuals to Jail.
Now, however. since the ringing de-
nunciation the other day by the Supreme
Court of the United States. the trial
judges are very apt to feel that justice
and not injustice would be done If a
trust official convicted Of violating the
Sherman law were designated by a num-
Der instead Of by a name. And If the
