in turn offered the plaintiff $4,000 for
their half interest in said property, and
there Is evidence that said offer was

The plaintiff admitted on trial that it

most feared combination to be guard

water powers of the country by one
or more great aggregations of capital,

exhaustion of our coal measures at
