,suspENDs SHERMAN LAW

The decision of the United States
district court, rendered at Baltimore,
in the governments suit against the
American Can Company, is something
new in the annals OF trustbusting.
The suit contemplated the dissolu-
ton of the company as penalty for
alleged violation of the Sherman law.
The court declared that, although the
company was formed illegally. and is
still operating under the powers il.
legally acquired, its methods have be-
come less Objectionable, and it would
do no good to dissolve it.
The court was frankly reluctant
to destroy so finely adjusted an in
dustrial machine as the record shows
the defendant to be-" 1t didn't see
how the trust could be "unscrambled'
without disaster. conditions have
been changed in this industry. 1t is
absolutely impossible to put things
back where they We're on March j.,
1901, and if that were possible, prob.
ably highly undesirable"
The court therefore adopted the
novel procedure of rendering no for
NAL verdict, but retaining jurisdic-
ton recognizing the right OF the
government TO ask further remedy
against the corporation if there
should be "a renewal of monopolis-
tic or restraint of trade practices"
Then it went further, and ex-
pressed the hope that before any oc-
casion to act upon the power reserved
shall arise, congress will substitute
some other method than dissolution
for dealing with the problem which
arises when single corporation alb.
serbs a large part of the country's
productive capacity in any one line"

The report further states, that the
crops reported in the table above,
were produced by Indians who are
wards of the government. In addition
there are four Indians in Cannonball
district who are mixed bloods and
have patents in fee, who farmed 1910
acres and produced $16,1N worth OF
crops. There are about 30 other mix
ed bloods and Indians married to
whites on other parts of the reserva-
ton who produced from $1,000 to
$1,000 worth of farm products each.
A conservative estimate Of the val
lie OF crops produced by Indians re-
siding on the Standing Rock reser-
walton, but not under government SUI
pervision, would be $4,000.
The average yields of the different
crops per acre is given as follows:
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1916-03-02

Potatoes, II bushels; oats, q bush.
els; corn, II bushels; wheat, IA bush
els; barley, 10 II bushels; rye, Is
bushels, speltz, % bushels.
These yields show that the soil is
productive, and the record made by
the Indian farmers the past season
is an enviahle one when it is con.
sidered that % years ago the Sioux
were roaming bands, subsisting on
government rations and had no
knowledge OF farming
The progress the Standing Rock
Indians are making and the part they
are taking in the development of the
two Dakotas reflects credit on the
much maligned Indian bureau, as well
as the local superintendent and dis
trict farmers, under whose instruc.
ton and guidance this result has been
made possible.

"BALlED UP"

The country is indebted to Senator
Stone for being courageous enough
TO use the term ''balled up" in SO
serious a document as his letter to
President Wilson concerning the re.
cent crisis in congress.
The senator expressed his desire
that congress should be careful not
to ball up delicate diplomatic sit
uation." When Senator Stone drop
ped thus into the vernacular, every
American citizen, including the presi-
dent. instantly got him. Nobody
had to look in dictionary TO see
what he meant. The shocked purists
who did resort to dictionaries found
that some of them, the Century. for
example, define "ball up" as slang,
meaning ito fail or miscarry," which
is about as near right as a lexicon
may be expected to come when it
tackles living speech But the Cen
tury's explanation of the origin of the
phrase is far from satisfactory. There
is such term as ''ball up used by
puddleers, for shaping the half-molt.

that isn't the idea

The paved road be- tween Douglas and Bisbee connect these two large settlements and pro- vide a substantial and lasting road where there is more traffic today than over all other roads in the county. Surely it must be agreed that this paving would be equally beneficial to Bisbee and Douglas. In fact it would be used much more by Bisbee than by Douglas, as even new there is twice as many Bisbee people travel ing this road than there are Douglas people. If this ratio of travel con tinues then Bisbee would get twice the bene1t of this road.

 So extensive have their holdings be come that in some quarters it is pre- dicted that they will soon own most of the ranches in the valley.
 The large sheep and hog ranches now being established in the valley are in marked contrast to the small tracts Of five, ten and twenty acres devoted to intensive farming. Two or three years ago almost every settler bought a small tract and went in for truck or fruit growing. Now the great bulk of the sales are to sheep men, who are securing large tracts for alfalfa ranches, where they can pasture their flocks during the winter months. In the summer the alfalfa raised is stacked for winter feeding. It is rarely sold.
 One of the largest hog ranches in the country has been started ten miles west of Phoenix by Col. P J. Durbin, a California pork-chop king, who owns several immense ranches in that state. He has imported about 1900 head to start with, and now has over POGO. He calims that he will have from 1O,O05 to 12O0O hogs on his GAO acres by next fall.
