A very heavy rain blessed this
part of the country last Friday
morning. 1t lasted seven or
eight hours, and a big quantity
of water fell. Flowing for wheat
received a setback, but the rain
was none the less welcome, not
that rain was needed, but the
ground can hold an awful lot of
water yet before springs and
wells will get back to their old
time form.

was inclosed giving very graphic
description of the capture of large
mountain lion. The forest firest of
last fall which approached to within
few miles of Libby, drove large
numbers of wild animals to that part
of the country not visited by the fire.
The winter weather which has been
quite severe has served to make them
quite tame and they now come al.
most within the village limits in
search of food.
An old hunter freed the lion, climb
ed the tree, threw a rope about the
animals neck and succeeded in tying
1t and hauling it to the station. The
lion was shipped to a geological gar
den for display.

Board VIII Meet Monday Night.

i Tho board Of education held a spc-

purpose of going over the plans sub
mitted by the different architectural
firms competing for the contract of
designing the two new school build
ings which were authorized at the
special election to determine upon the
issue Of bonds for that purpose.
1t was a difficult proposition which
confronted the board and it took
them into the small hours Of the
night before a decision was reached.
Eight firms were represented and each
representative was allowed fifteen
inmates in which to exniDft mis- plans,
describe their merits and answer the
questions of the board. The eight
plans exhibited were sifted down to
four and were those of Architects
Reading, Pruitt, Howard and Merri-
am and Marriott and Allen. After a
careful examination of these, two
more were eliminated, leaving Mar
riott and Allen, and Howard and
Merriam in the race. When it came
to a choice between these two firms,
the usual deadlock made its appear
lnce among the board members. Three
stood for Howard and Merriam and
three for Marriott and Allen.
Ate a long discussion a game OF

CAREER OF GREAT
CORPORATION ENDS
VARIOUS ENTERPR RISES
Are Independent Order of Things
in Effect Today Order of So
preme Court Carried Out.

New York, Dec. 1.-The career of the
"oil trust" officially came to an enc
yesterday. The Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey, sometimes called the
father of trusts, and perhaps the most
powerful corporation in the world, will
no longer control the affairs, as the
holding company of more than thirty
corporations in various branches of the
oil business. Beginning today these
subsidiaries, which, under the decree of
the United States supreme court, must
conduct independently the various en-
terprises, will assume entire manage
ment of their own affairs.
The oil trust theoretically passed out
of existence August31, when the books
containing the records of the company's
stockholders were closed for distribu-
tion of the stock of the subsidiaries
Now the work of disintegation has
been completed. The stock issues, rep
resenting the subsidiaries, will pass into
the hands of owners of old Standard
Oil stock today and the threads which
long have bound the old companies
together will be severed.
The task of effecting dissolution was
made less difficult by the fact that the
subsidiary companies never had lost
their identity. They have retained
tho;r envNnrnfa nff4oarp, nx.r1 lonnrJe ~c
directors and TO a large extent have
conducted their own affairs from their
home offices. These companies, how
ever, have had representation at 26
Broadway, the home of the New Jersey
corporation which exercised general
direction over all their affairs. 1t is
this connection which will end. The
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
will continue to exist, as it owns sever
al large plants.
To each stakeholder will be forward
ed his proportionate share of stock in
each of the subsidiaries, so that in place
of one issue of stock he will have more
than thirty.
In the removal Of officials of subsida-
ries who have had their offices at 26
Broadway, large number of men who
for years have lived in New York will
be effected. Scores of officials and
clerks will be transferred To other cities.
The public's relations with Standard
Oil will be visibly affected at least for
the present No one is able to forecast
the ultimate effect of the dissolution,
whether it will have any bearing upon
retail prices or upon the relation of the
companies in the Standard Oil group
with independent producers. Increas-
ed competition is expected, but the
public will be obliged to bide its time
before finding out whether 1t is to have
cheaper oil.

Washington, Dec. A scathing d :,
nunciation of the Sc, called American
