as 700 pounds, and is capable of carry

If you insist on figures, it is only an
ordinary thing for a reindeer team to
cover 100 miles a day. deerman is
known to have Travelled 1000 miles over
snow-covered plains in 10 days by means
of teams used in relays. Even the racing
instinct has been developed by the rein
deer. At annual gatherings of deermen
racing is the main feature-and it is un-
trammeled by anti-betting statutes. Far

became primarily dairy animals. Rein

In short. it appears that as a combina-
ton animal, merging horse, cow and
sheep into one the reindeer cannot be
beaten. Is it any wonder, then, that the
people who can give such an account of
these domesticated reindeer which have
never felt the advantages of scientific
breeding at the hands of highly civ
ilized white races, have made Canada's
premier think seriously of their propo-

the Pujo committee. A dispatch from

is not COMFORTING to the dignity of
the committee to send a physician to

knowledge that he was wanted in
Washington. Even were a physician
representing the committee to go to
Nassau and there find that Mr.. Rookie

TESS that Wall street now sontrols.

prised that all the banks owned by the

all the groups which Mr.. Aldrich ad.
mits now dominate our financial af-

Continuing Mr.. Shaw said: The
Central Reserve association, as
planned, will be controlled by the men
who today dominate the institutions
which are to be associated. If we are
to have such an institution I shall be
surprised if the steel trust and the
Standard Oil people fail to control it.
This plan l think makes certain their

less caliber should get control. I'm
less the most experienced men of the

Astoria, Ore, Jan. 9.-Death be-
meath the waves for thirty men while
three others chung desperately for
hours to the rigging of the one stand
ing mast, as the huge seas were
pounding the steamer to pieces be-
meath them, is the story of the worst
marine disaster that has occurred in
the vicinity of the mouth of the Col
umbia river in many years.
1t is the story Of the wreck of the
Associated Oil company's tank steam
er Rosecrans, which went to destruc-
ton on the north projection. of Pea
cock Spit, not far from Mckenzie
Head, as the result of the terrific gale
Tuesday.
The Rosecrans, carrying a cargo of
10000 barrels of crude OIL and with a
crew of 80 men on board, sailed from
Gaviota, CAL, for the Columbia river
on January 8. She arrived off the
mouth of the river before daylight
Tuesday and, 1t is supposed. lost her
bearings in the thick mist and went
too far to the north, as she suddenly
struck on the north projection of Pea
cock Spit, opposite North Head, in
approximately the same position that
the steam schooner Washington lay
when her sensational rescue was
made by Captain Bailey and the crew
of the tug Tatoosh.
The Cape Disappointment life-sav-
ing station reported that two of the
men clinging to the spar of the
wrecked oil steamer Rosecrans had
been rescued. The third man was
picked up, but 1t is feared he will
die. Shortly before dark one Of the
Rosecrans crew was washed ashore
at Togo, WASH, in exhausted condi-
ton. but apparently uninjured.
The Rosecrans has been an Inflated
vessel. While taking on oil at Gaviota
on August 81, 1912, she caught fire
and was burned to the waters edge.
On March IL of the same year she
was driven on the rocks at Gaviota
and two Of her crew were lost.
Built at Glasgow in 1888, the Rose
Grams was 1886 feet long and registered
1916 tons gross. She formerly was
an army transport.
The vessel was valued with her
cargo at about $2O0.000. s

saying: Don't arbitrate because you

a point of it, England would not fight

Washington, Jan. 8.-The Supreme
court Monday. by upholding certain
disputed counts against James A. Pat.
ten and others. charged with viola.
ton of the Sherman antitrust law in
running a so-called cotton corner, sent
the case against the men to trial in
the lower courts. a&
Patten, Eugene G. Scales, Frank B,
Hayne and William p Brown we're in.
dicted in New York on charges of con-
sptracy on January II, 1910, to corner
cotton by extensive buying on theNew
York cotton exchange, as result OF
which the price would be enhanced
and ultimately bring arbitrary and ex-
cessive prices. The conspiracy was
described as calculated to yield $780,
100000 in profits.
The alleged violation of the Sher-
man law was set forth in the indict-
ment in eight different ways In as
many counts, the defendants being
liable for trial on any one.
Before the defendants could be
placed on trial, the United States cir
cult court for southern New York held
insufficient four counts as not stating
an offense. The government appealed
from that decision to Supreme. court.
The decision settles the important
question that a corner" of any COM
modify is restraint of Interstate COM
merce and may be a violation of the
Sherman antitrust law. -.- -....
