POWDER MONOPOLY
KNOCKED OUT BY
COURT |NDELAWARE
Action Begun Four Years
ago Against Forty-three
, Defendants.

The Department of Justice has been
advised that the circuit court for the
Delaware district has handed down a
decision declaring the Powder trust a
combination in restraint Of interstate
commerce and an attempted monopoly
under the Sherman law. The combina-
ton is enjoined and ordered dissolved.
1t is dominated by the E. /. du Pont
de Nemours Company.
The Government action was begun
four years ago. and was directed
against forty-three corporate and indi-
vidual defendants. The suit as to If
teen OF the defendants was dismissed,
as some Of them are out Of existence.
or 1t was not shown they are in the
combine.
Hearing in October.
October Is was fixed by the court to
hear both sides as to the nature Of
the Injunction which will be issued. At
the same time, there will be considered
a plan for dissolution and creation Of
new condition I'm harmony with and
The court has closely followed the oil
and tobacco decisions of the Supreme
Court. The smashing Of the combina-
ton has been fully expected by the
Government officials here.
View Taken by Court.
The courts conclusion is:
TT matters not whether the combina-
ton be in the form Of a trade associa-
ton or a corporation. II 1t arbitrarily
uses its power to force weaker COM
petitors out OF business or TO coerce
them into a sale or union with combina-
ton, It puts a restraint upon inter-
state commerce and monopolizes or at
tempts to monopolize a part Of that
commerce in a sense that violates the
antitrust act.
ITO stop the business or the combina-
ton Immediately" the court says,
might be attended with very disastrous
consequences. The defendants, or some
of them, for example, furnish military
and ordnance powders to the United
States Government We understand
also, that they furnish explosives used
in the construction of the Panama
canal Their ability TO continue so to
do should not be destroyed By the ex-
piration of a reasonable time for ad-
justing their business to the changed
conditions"

CITIES GET LARGE
SHARE OF PEOPLE

Although the population of Oregon
increased 260,239 in the past 10 years
only 65,759 Of those were located on
farms, says the Portland Oregonian.
Nearly 100000 more than three times
as many sought the cities and towns.
These conclusions appear from an
analysis Of the states rural popula-
ton, completed yesterday by Mana
ger Chapman, Of the Promotion Bu-
reau Of the Portland Commercial
club.
During the past 10 years, accord
ing to the census, the population Of
the cities has increased 101 per cent,
while the rural population has gained
only 29 per cent. People in urban
communities outnumber the country
dwellers almost 100000, the figures
| being 1854 as against 288,312.
When the proportions between town
and country today and 10 years ago
are compared the situation becomes
almost startling. During this period
the people in the towns Of Oregon
have more than doubled, while the
people on the farms have gained only
$3.50. Ten years ago Oregon's peo-
pie were fairly equally distributed be-
| tween city and farm, with the coun-

DANISH STUDENTS COMING
TO TOUR AMERICA

Copenhagen, Denmark, May A.
Half a hundred students of the Royal
University of Denmark sailed for Am
erica today to begin three weeks
sightseeing tour of the United States.
The trip is under the patronage OF
Crown Prince Christian.
The students win attempt to pay at
least a part Of the expense Of the
journey by giving concerts In ten or
twelve leading American cities. The
fifty young men comprise chorus OF
picked voices from the Danish Stu
dent Singers society, recognized as
one Of the best male singing organi-
cations of Europe.
Upon invitation of President Taft,
extended through the Danish minister
at Washington, the students upon
their arrival at New York will proceed
directly to the American capital to
sing at a garden party to be given al
the White House on May 10.

says in reply to the assertion that his
habits were shockingly irregular:
THE fact is this: My habits are
vigorously abstemious and 1 omit
nothing Of the natural regimen for
health. rise early, eat moderately,
drink nothing but water, and take
abundant and regular exercise in the
open air. But this Is my private life
and Of course escapes the eye Of the
world.
THE desire for society comes upon
me only when I have become excited
by drink. Then only I go-that Is at
these times only I have been in the
practice OF going among my friends,
who seldom, or in fact never, having
seen me unless excited. take 1t for
granted that I am always so. Those
who really know me know better"
The letter should make a change
in the work Of future biographers OF
Poe, as it gives his own explanation
Of the charge Of drinking habits made
against him.

RUNAWAYS FIND
FORTUNE ELUSIVE

Bend. Or, May 4.-That s1.85 will
not support two 14-year-old boy
travellers in luxury for four days is
the discovery of a runaway trip just
made by a couple of Bend youngsters.
With a combined capital Of 81 and
much enthusiasm for a life of care
free vagabondage, Ernest Stone and
Floyd Carney, IA years old left this
town last Thursday to seek their for
tunes and see the world. They had
seen something Of the world, but en-
countered little in the way of fortune
when they arrived at the embryo
town Of Mecca, on the new oregon
Trunk railroad, few miles north of
Madras and some go miles from here.
Their 81 capital had materially les
sened and with it their enthusiasm for
further travel.
So, from the place which proved
not the Mecca of their fortune, they
took the homeward trail, with shoes
that were nearly worn out, clothes
that bore signs Of nights spent in the
hay and a very profound hunger with
in, for their limited capital had made
impossible supping upon the fat OF
the land. With Is cents between
them, on the fourth day of their wan
derlngs, they returned to Bend.

RICH GOLD STRIKE
AT OLD KERBYVILLE

Grants Pass, Or.-"Its the richest
gold mine ever discovered Is the
report that c. l.. Mangum, mining
expert who returned last Saturday
evening from the Higgins property
in the Kerby district at the head or
the Chetco creek, brought to TINS city
A report came tothis city week ago
that a rich strike had been made at
this mine and that it was one OF the
largest veins ever opened on the
coast. Mangum, a mining expert,
who has no interest in the property,
made trip to the mine to verify the
report. He brought back bottle OF
gold that he panned out of 20 pounds
of ore the bottle containing $l6lS3,
and in his opinion the ore at this
mine will go from $4,000 to $4,000 a
ton.
The vein. which is large one, Is
of porphyritic-schist formation, and
easily treated. This mine is now un-
der lease, and the men who have 1t

IMMIGRATION PROMOTER
WANTS OREGON LANDS

Salem. Ore, May 4.-Governor
West has received a letter from Will
liam H. Sloan, of Cincinnati, Ohio, in
which the state OF oregon is offered
a proposition whereby it is assured
big increase in populations:
II have just completed the organ
iZation Of the United States Imigra-
ton & Steamship company to secure
handle and locate the overflowing
population of Europe, Canada and the
United States amounting to 15,000,-
900 persons a year, in cities OF our
own building and on farms.
I'VE will operate our steamships
5000 and 10000 tons-bringing me-
chanics, merchants, farmers, schol-
ars. schools of all of the best class
only charging $40 in steerage and $25
in cabin. II you and your legisla-
ture will favor a proposition like this
Oregon to lease or purchase 200
tracts of 10000 acres each 20 miles
apart, with privilege Of purchase
within 10 years, we will proceed to
build 200 cities. each Of about 5000
persons, on these tracts, and will
bring enough factories and other In
terests to support these cities. With
| in ten years, we will buy and pay for
every acre Of these lands, 100000
acres at 81; 100000 acres at 81; 50O.-
900 acres at IS and 100000 acres at
So. 1t Is likely that we can pay every
cent Of it within four years, but we
want a margin for safety. 1t IS not
necessary to pay any high prices for
lands on the railroads, but go out six
to 10 miles and let the railroads build
to the cities-they will do so. You
can find millions Of acres of govern
ment lands at $1.25 an acre in most
Of your counties, and our building OF
cities will bring railroads to reach
them We must ask for level and
rich valley lands. We can add about
100000 people within a few years
