Washington, D. c., Dec. 2.-The
great Hartman merger, created when
the Union Pacific Railroad Company
bought forty-six per cent Of the stock
of the Southern Pacific Railway Sys-
tenn, was split asunder to-day by the
Supreme Court Of the United States
as a violation of the Sherman anti

Justice Day announced the unani-
nous opinion of the court. Judge
Van Devanter took no part in the con-
sideration of the case to-day. His
personal finding as judge of the
Utah Circuit Court that the two roads
were not competitors, and therefore
no violation Of the law had resulted
from the purchase, was reversed and
annulled. Instead of following the
court in substance, approved the min

roads were competitors and that it
was just as much a violation of the
law for one road to buy the control
ing stock of a competitor as it was
for a holding company as in the
Northern Securieties cases to buy the
controlling stock of two competing
companies.
The Circuit Court for the District
of Utah was directed to supervise the
subdivision of the two roads, and in
emergency to appoint a receiver to
sell the stock.
1t is the general belief here that
the application Of the decision to the
railroad situation of the country will
be widespread, placing a powerful
precedent in the hands Of the Attor-
ney-General to present consolidation
of competing roads.

CALIFORNIA EXCURSIONS.

Two notable special train excursions
over the Oregon Washington Railroad
& Navigation Co. and Southern Pacific
will leave the state of Washington. one
from Spokane and the Inland Empire
on January 14th and the other from
Puget Sound on January 22nd, for
California, with Los Angeles as their
destination. This is the sixth consecu-
tive year that such excursions to the
Golden State have been conducted by
the O.W. R. & N. and each one has
been greater success than the one
before.
The reasons why these excursions
are popular lies in the fact that from
the start the officials of the railroad
company have had in mind the work of
cementing the interests of the entire
Pacific coast together. so that the man
In California would come to see his
community of interest with the citizen
OF Washington. The results have been
gratifying.
Not only does the Washingtonian and
ldahoian look with pleasure toward
this annual trip, but the folks in sunny
California eagerly await their coming
and prepare. no end of entertainment
for them. This is true at nearly every
point along the route where a stop is
made-banquets, motor rides and all
sorts CT fun line the way.
