A NEW WORLD OIL KING.

A new Rockefeller, a daring and
aggressive man, has come out of the
east. A young man, born in Holland,
went to Java some years ago and OBJ
tanned employment in a bank. In
1890 he became assistant to the man.
ager of the Royal Dutch company, and
in 1896 was put in charge.
This mans name is Deterding.
Those who know him say he is Ma
poleonic in his tactics and strategy.
He must be a wonder, for within four
years after taking charge of the Roy
al Dutch Company he managed to
effect a merger of the Royal Dutch
and Shell companies by which the two
combined assets and turned them
selves over to the aBtaafsche COM
pany and the Anglo Saxon Petroleum
company.
Deterding fought the Standard Oil
to a standstill in China, and won a
market for his products in that coun-
try.
Deterding heads the oil combines of
Europe and promises to be n of the
most powerful figures in the world in
oil production and distribution.-The
Nations Business.

SKELETONS OF MAN AND
BEAR FOUND TOGETHER

Livingston-Clasped skeletons of a
bear and a man, with the mans skull
missing, were uncovered on a Park
county ranch recently by F. Fifield
of Chicken river, he reported while
on a visit to Livingston this week.
Mr.. Fifield has been a resident of
the district for 81 years and knew
nothing of a battle between a bear
and a man during his residence. He
believes that the human skeleton is
that of one of the earliest prospectors
of this region. An old shovel found
near the skeletons tended to disprove
the theory that the headless skeleton
might have been that of an Indian.
1t is believed that the man fatally
wounded the bear but could not pre-
vent him from closing with him and
that they died in a final embrace. No
weapon could be located near the skel-
etons.

Dakota Has Soviet System.

The tendency of the Nonpartisan
league legislative program in North
Dakota has been to place the func-
tioning of the state government in the
hands of individuals or commissioners,
precisely as it has been done in soviet
Russia.
The North Dakota grain grading
law, instead of being administered by
several duly appointed or elected COM
missioners, is placed in the hands OF
one man, who must be a member of
the faculty Of the state agricultural
college. He holds office by appoint
ment and certain rather desPOtic
powers are delegated to him.
Abraham Lincoln once voiced a
warning against commissions. He
said that he believed that they were
"contrivances to cheat the govern
ment.' But what would the great
liberator think of a system of com
missions which provided for the vest
ing of those commissions in individuals
clothed with power to perform i'm
portant functions in government?
The idea of single commissioners,
or kommissars, as they are called in
Russia, is a socialistic idea and does
not conform to the American idea OF
free and representative government.

WHAT PROTECTION MEANS.

No people are so much interested
in an abundant supply of all the prod
ucts of industry which are wanted for
the comfort and welfare of the pop
ulation as the people Of small or mod
crate incomes. They comprise the
great body of the population. 1t is
impossible to compensate them for a
shortage of supplies by higher wages.
No amount of wages will buy what
does not exist. A shortage makes
the opportunity for the hoarder and
profiteer, but steady, abundant pro-
duction makes boarding Improbable.
Any policy that has the effect of
limiting production to a point that oc-
casions a reduction of consumption is
clearly opposed TO the welfare of
the great body of consumers, which
consists for the most part of the wage
earners and farmers.
1t is a common saying among the
critics of the existing order that the
rich, against whom their antagonism
is directed, are insignificant numer-
ically, comprising only 2 or 8 per cent
of the population. 1t is the remainder
of the population who suffer from re-
strictions upon production. The con-
sumption of the rich is relatively
small, and fluctuations in the volume
of consumption are chiefly in that
portion consumed by the people of
small means.-The Nations Business.

CLOTHES WERE SHIPPED
TO FOREIGN STUDENTS

Twelve barrels and as many wood
en- boxes filled with clothes and shoes
from the wardrobes of college girls in
the eastern states were shipped last
week from New York City to the
University of Vienna where fourteen
hundred girl students are in desper-
ate need of clothing and food.
An appeal for clothing was sent out
in May by the student department of
the National Y. w. C. A. to the schools
in eastern states and was generously
responded to. Both summer and Win
ter clothing was asked for as we'll as
materials to be used for clothes.
Stockings and gloves were on the list
as especially lacking. The boxes are
being sent directly to a committee of
students.

MAJOR GENERAL GORGAS
NOTED SURGEON, DIES
Succumbs to Bright's Disease.-Did
Much to Stamp Out Pestilence.
END Peaceful.

London, July 5-Major General Will
liam c. Gorgas, former surgeon gen.
eral of the United States army, died
at an early hour yesterday morning.
General Gorgas' death was very
peaceful. He was unconscious most of
the time for the last few days, and
was not even able to recognize Mrs.
Gorgas or Brigadier General Noble,
the only Americans present at the
end.
Colonel Kennedy, medical consultant
at the hospital, was in constant wait
ing on General Gorgas and every IA
cility was afforded by the British mil
itary authorities for proper medical
attention.
It was stated by General Noble that
Bright's disease was the immediate
cause of death.
Virtually from the middle of June
hope was abandoned for the generals
recovery. He arrived in London from
New York on May 10, seemingly in
vigorous health. The folliwing day
he left with General Noble and Mrs.
Gorgas for Brussels where he was dec
GRATED by King Albert. From Brus-
sells he proceeded to Coblenz and re-
turned to London May 20.
On the morning of May 80 he suf-
fered a stroke of apoplexy, and was
removed to Queen Alexandria hospital
where his death occurred. For a time
there was hope Of his recovery, but
kidney complications developed.
The body will be taken to the United
States on board an American trans
port. The time of sailing has not been
