Tell the Public About 1t.

Tho Socialists are sending to Grand
Forks as the first number on their
lyceum course w. F. Ries, who will
talk on How We Are Gouged." The
Socialists have an ungovernable PEN
chant for selecting irritating subjects.
II we have to be gouged. why not have
it over with and forget it?
One of the two sides of the Socialist
philosophy , the public wants the
bright one every time. It does not
want to be told it is gouged. 1t wants
to know how every working man can
have a home of his own and feed his
family three good meals with four
hours work a day, and spend the rest
Of his time sitting in 81 seats at the
ball game roofing for the home team.
1t may not be true.it may not be half
as true as the undisputed. ~undeniable.
cast-iron fact that we are gouged by
the sugar trust, but it's 30 much more
interesting!
Mr.. Ries will lecture at the Grand
theater Sunday at 8 o'clock. Why
not get up a petition asking him to
forget how we are gouged and paint
us one of those beautiful word-pic-
lures about IS day for four hours.

Denver.-The federal grand jury is
probing the so.called fcod trust. Evi.
dence has been presented to the grand
jury seeking to show that the fruit
and wholesale produce men Of the city
have combination in restraint OF
trade which arbitrarily fixes the prices
of fruit and other commodities and
freezes out dealers not in the trust.
The fruit operations Of this organiza-
tion have been gone into particularly.
1t is said that the probe will be
thorough one and the grand jury given
some enlightening information on why
living costs so high. The recent rise
In sugar will be one Of the things ex.
amined into.
That there is an organization Of
produce men in the city who fix prices
to suit themselves and have the retail
dealers and public at their mercy has
been charged for long time.
1t is said that a member of the trust
shares in its profits though he does
not handle one barrel Of fruit. Such
arbitrary power this organization is
said to have that 1t can make the price
Of oranges, bananas, apples or any 9TH
er fruit prohibitiye and the retail deal.
er and the public can do nothing more
than to sit still and throw up their
hands in dismay. They have the fruit
grower, too, at their mercy, 1t is al
legged, and he is up against the prop.
ositlon Of throwing his fruit to the four
winds or feeding it to hogs. or sell.
Ing 1t to the trust at whatever price 1t
demands.
The government is making an effort
to indict the officers of this trust, and
the chief men In it. Indictments are
also being sought against the princi.
pals in whatever other trusts are com.
bining in restraint Of trade and boost
ing prices Of food.
Among the witnesses before the
grand jury were Matthew ]. Zeuseus.
a merchandise broker formerly with
the Lawrence-Hensley Fruit Company
as credit man; William c. Mcpherson,
manager of the California Fruit Grow.
ers' Exchange, and George Fl. Knit.
ton, merchandise broker.
A special agent of the Department
Of Justice attached to United States
Attorney Thomas Wards office has
been conducting the investigation for
the government. Sensations are prom
ised the public as result Of the grand
jury's probe.
This is the governments first at.
tempt here to dissolve trust by in.
dieting the principal men In 1t.
The exact extent of the investiga-
ton Is not known but 1t Is said that
the prices of fruit and sugar are the
particular subjects Of the probe.

Many Coal Entries Void.

Denver.-Under a decision Of the
United States Circuit Court of Ap.
peals. Just rendered at st. Louis, suits
may be brought by the government
to regain thousands Of acres of coal
lands in Colorado and other states filed
upon fraudulently. The decision was
given in the case Of the government
against the Diamond Coal and Coke
Company Of Wyoming, which was an
appeal from decision of Federal
Judge Lewis. The ruling Of the Court
Of Appeals. which reverses the deci.
sion Of Judge Lewis. is that lands may
be proved to be coal lands by expert
geological testimony, and that out.
groupings Of coal are not necessary to
prove the character Of the lands. The
ruling heretofore has been that lands
were not considered to be coal lands
unless veins appeared through the sur.
face.
