Sad Blow to Grafters
County Auditor Ray Delivers Solar the Bridge
Combine and Saves Roberts County Snug Little Sum
Bridge Contract-County Has Held Up Years. but
the End of Hold-Up is Sight.

County Auditor Ray is always
ION the job.
He isn't very long on fuss
and feathers, but he is certainly
looking after the interests of the
taxpayers in a manner that is
sure to win him a lot of COM
mendation,
Ask the northwestern bridge
builders combine what they
think of County Auditor Ray,
and twelve chances in a dozen
they'll say something uncompli-
mentary to that gentleman
which is no more than should be
expected by those who know
what he did to that delectable
bunch of high-binders.
You see, it was like this:
The board of county commits
sioners of Roberts county recently
advertised for competitive bids
for the construction of a 30-foot
steel bridge near Wilmot.
There have been several of
these steel bridges constructed
in Roberts county, and the
auditor had taken cognizance of
the fact that a certain bridge
concern in Minneapolis was al
ways the successful bidder. He
therefore came to the conclusion
that an agreement had been en-
tered into by the bridge men,
whereby the above mentioned
concern was to have the Roberts
county work-which was to be
done at practically their own
figure = all the other north
western concerns agreeing to
submit bids in excess of the
price quoted by the Minneapolis
outfit.
You know how such things
work.
And the scheme worked fine
up to certain point.
This point was where County
Auditor Ray got into the game.
AS soon as the board decided
to construct the bridge near Will
mot. Mr.. Ray sent a copy of the
plans and specifications to an
eastern bridge concern and asked
for prices, handling the corre-
spondence in the name Of ST. w.
Ray & Co." The concern in
question submitted a price on the
material necessary for the con-
structlon OF the bridge, and
agreed to give T. w. Ray & Co.
l0per centif they could place the
order.
With the figures submitted by
the eastern bridge concern as a
basis for his deductions, the
county auditor decided that the

price the county had been paying
(never less than S775) for this
class of bridge was slightly ex-
oribitant, so he put in bid in
the name of T. w. Ray & Co.,
agreeing to furnish the material
and construct the above men,
toned bridge in a thorough and
workmanlike manner for an even
$500.
Which action to the average
mind appears reasonable and
fair, and we'll within his province.
But stop a moment, Clarence;
you have forgotten the best in
terests of the poor bridge COM
bine!
We are afraid we shall have to
admit that it was slipping one
over on them in a very rude and
ungentlemanly manner.
For what right has a mere.
citizen-even though he does
happen to be county auditor and
the logical guardian of the public
interests-to interfere with the
it-taking of the combinations
of capital?
Well, anyway
At about the time the county
commissioners were to hold their
June meeting-at which meeting
the aforesaid bridge contract
was to be awarded-the repre-
sentative of the above mentioned
Minneapolis member of the bridge
combine, in company with a con-
federate representing friendly
concern, put in an appearance at
the court house and Immediately
started to investigate the condi-
ton of his fences : in other
words, to see if Roberts county
was still competition-proof, SO
far as the construction of steel
bridges was concerned.
Imagine his surprise and cha
grin when he learned that a bid
had been submitted by 7. W.
Ray & Co. rank outsiders!
And picture, if you can, the
reluctance with which he and
his confederate revised their fig
ures, the successful bidder agree
ing to construct the bridge in
question for Soda clear saving
to the county Of more than a
hundred dollars, compared to
prices heretofore paid for the
same kind Of bridges.
All of which goes to show
that County Auditor Ray is al
ways 'on the job" which is, to
say the least, a sad condition of
affairs-in the eyes of the tight
little bridge combine.

By THOMAS G. sHoTWELL.

New York, May 16.-The decision OF
the Supreme Court in the Standard OIL
case is an overwhelming victory for
the corporations and the financial world
took that view in the stock market to-
day. This does not mean that the peo-
pie have been defeated, for modern CIV
ilization demands the big corporation,
and its existence now gets a legal rec
ognition. A square deal is assured by
the corporations and the general pub
lie, and. this is all the more necessary
because the corporations are a part OF
the public.
The opening of business to-day In
the financial district was like the be-
ginning of a new era. In the small
hours Of the morning desperate stock
market bandits sold American shares
in Europe to such an extent that the
early purchasers got Steel for instance
at 74&. This was done on the London
curb before the stock exchange opened
In that city. But London was alive to
the true meaning of the decision, and
stocks were purchased freely both by
foreigners and by Americans when the
exchange began business SO that by
the time the New York Stock Exchange
opened there was an average advance
of point.
Wall street offices began filling with
customers as early as o'clock in the
morning. For perhaps the first time on
record full working forces of employees
and customers were in the street as early
O'Clock. Many did business with Lon
don direct, and those that could not dealt
with other houses having foreign wires.
The New York opening was an average
OF point over the closing. In the first
hour of business more than 00000 shares
were officially reported and half as many
more were stopped" Official ansactions
for the day Were nearly a million shares.
Investment buying.
Considering the stopped orders the
days business was fully 10000 shares.
More important than the volume of bus
iness, or the prices recorded was the fact
that very much of the buying was for
investment account. and that at least
third Of the orders received by brokers
to buy stocks could not be filled because
customers wanted them at lower prices
than prevailed.
Shorts covered, the largest individual
block known being something above 40
COO shares of steel This particular oper-
ator had been short for more than two
years, and took loss of more than ST.
100000 to-day when he was finally con-
Vlnced that nothing could break the
stock market in the near future.
So general was the influence that
moved the market that individual move
ments to-day were Of no Importance. All
that can be said is that the whole struc- |
tEre Of the financial world is stirred up
TO new life, and that bankers and brokers |
find abundant evidence of a revival of |
business both in the buying and selling |
o: securities and in the placing of or
ders for material
Railroads are expected to start buy
ing movement and some important Or
ders for material are expected this week
I he justice of the decision is universally |
commended. Even the absurd investiga-
ton of the steel trust ordered by Con-
Sress attracted only passing attention, |
although this investigation may be |
very material help to the bull cam
paigners by proving the legality of the |
steel trust.
