GREAT COMBINE
IS HARD HIT
STANDARD OIL
MUST DISSOLVE
Supreme Court Declares
Trust Is Unlawful.
Big
Oudge of On Opinion Govern
ment' Attack on Giant Monopoly
Upheld On Every Point.
Washington, May 16. The Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey and
ita subsidiary corporations were de
clared by the Supreme court of the
United States to be a conspiracy and
combination in restraint of trade.
It was otherwise held to be mon
opolizing interstate commerce in viola
tion of the Sherman anti- trust law.
The dissolution of the combination
was ordered to take place within six
months.
Thus ended the tremendous struggle
on the part of the government to put
down, by authority of law, a combin
ation which is held to be a menace to
the industrial and economic advance
ment of the entire country.
At the same time the court inter
preted the Sherman anti-trust law so
as to limit its application to acts of
"undue" restraint of trade and not
"every" restraint of trade.
It was on this point that the only
discordant note was heard in the
court. Justice Harlan dissented,
holding that cases already decided ' by
the court had determined once for all
that the word "undue" or "unrea
sonable" or similar words were not in
the statute. He declared that the
reasoning of the court in arriving at
its finding was, in effect, legislation
which belonged in every instance to
congress and not to the courts.
Ever since the decree in this case in
the lower court, the United States
Circuit court for the eastern district
of Missouri, was announced, hope has
been expressed by the "business
world" that the law would be modified
so as not to interfere with what was
designated as "honest business." To
night that section of the opinion call
ing for the use of the rule of reason in
applying the law is regarded in many
quarters as an answer to the prayers
of the "business world."
The defendants named besides the
Standard Oil and its subsidiary cor
porations are : John D. Rockefeller,
William Rockefeller, Henry M. Flag
ler, John D. Archbold, Oliver H.
Payne, Henry H. Rogers, and Charles
M. Pratt.
AGUA PRIETA ABANDONED.
Rebels Take Possession Federals Go
To Aid Hermosillo.
Douglas, Ariz., May 11. The town
of Agua Prieta, Sonora,rfor which the
Mexican Federals and rebels fought so
luriously less than a month ago, was
abandoned by the Federals under Col
onel Reynolds Diaz and Major Luis
Medina Barron at dawn today.
With their 600 Federal troops they
began a march to Hermosillo, which is
besieged by a large rebel force, in
cluding 800 well-armed Yaqui Indians.
They closed the custom houses at both
Agua Prieto and Naco and left the
town absolutely deserted.

ment. Nicaraguan President Flies.
Colon, May 11. Definite informa
tion reached here today that Juan
Estrada, president of Nicaragua, has
resigned the presidency, and rumors
say he is a fugitive, vainly seeking
escape from his own country. A pro
clamation announcing the government
al change was issued at Granada, the
capital of the department of Granada,
Vice President Diaz was designated
by Estrada as his successor. The res
ignation came as the result of a clash
with General Luis Mena, minister of
war in his cabinet.
Man Who Sold Self, Dies.
Chicago Charles Kittrick, who sold
his "body and soul" to seven nurses

died there last night. Kittrick was
suffering from a peculiar form of lo
comotor ataxia, and by the terms of
the bill of sale of his body, the corpse
will be used for clinical study. Kit
trick sold himself for $7 and used the
money to pay the last bill he owed
his room rent. Record of the sale was

Orozco Spurns Bribe and Peace Ne
gotiations Are Resumed.
Juarez, Mexico. May 16. Resump
tion of peace negotiations under so
favorable auspices as to bring a pros
pect of an end to the war within 24
hours, and the banishment from Juaret
of Senor Esquival Obregon, who is
suspected by Madero of directing a
plot to break up the rebel ranks by
offering bribes to his generals to in
duce them to quit the Madero stand'
ards, were the important develop
ments today in the Mexican situation
Senor Obregon, who was formerly
one of the go-betweens in the peace
negotiations, was informed by Provia-
ional President Madero that tbe revo
lutionists did not desire his presence
in this city. It was said at the insur-
recto headquarters that Obregon offer
ed a large bribe to General Orozco,
but that the latter indignantly refused
it. Obregon denies the story.
In the meantime, peace negotia
tions. unofficial but auspicious, had
been resumed between the Federal
govement and the insurrectos, and the
prospects now are that a dehnite un
derstanding will be reached within 24
hours.

PHONE RATES HIT.
Companies Cannot Charge Different
Rates for Same Service.
Washington, u. C A policy pur
sued generally by telephone companies
received a blow when the Interstate
Commerce commission, in a decision
made public today held that "as be
tween subscribers to a telephone ser
vice who are similarly situated, noth
ing but difference in the service
rendered or the facilities furnished
can justify a difference in the charges
exacted.
The decision was in the ca3e of Wil
liam D. Shoemaker, of Drummond.
Md., against the Chesapeake & Poto
mac Telephone company, the first tel
ephone case considered by the commis
sion since congress placed telephone
companies under the commission's
jurisdiction.
Shoemaker declined to 'sign a resi

higher than paid for the same service
by 27 neighbors in Drummond who
had contracted with the company when
it operated the now abandoned ex

San Francisco Trouble is looming
up for the directors of the exposition

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
PROTECTING; OUR FORESTS.
Oregon's Four Hundred Billion Feet
of Timber Worth Saving.
By O. W. Pmvjt, Profcaaur of Fomtry, O. A.
By the passage or eurerully pre
pared forestry law, backed by an ade
quate appropriation, the last legisla
ture of Oregon took the first effec
tive step for the preservation of one
of the state's largest natural re
sources. According to the old saw,
"it is the wise man who locks the (sta
ble before the horses are stolen.
is quite evident from the great losses
of the past few years that Oregoi
cannot claim credit for having acted
to the fullest degree the part of the
wise man in the matter of guarding
her timber, yet there is still some
stock in the stable which is well worth
protecting.
A conservative estimate places the
timber resources of Oregon at 400 bil
lion feet board measure of merchanta
ble timber. About one-third of thi
amount is within the national forests.
The remaining two-thirds is in private
holdings. The state holds practically
no stumpage, having sold nearly all o
its grant lands. Figured on the basis
of $1.50 per thousand feet board
measure the stumpage of the state
represents a property valued at $600,
000,000. Estimated on the basis of
manufactured value of $12 per thous
and feet, the timber in the state has
value equal to $4,800,000,000.
When it is understood that the tim
ber supply of other parts of the coun
try is being rapidly exhausted and
that as a result there will soon be
vastly greater demands made upon the
timber suppy of the Northwest it
very certain that the figures quoted
above do not fully represent the eco
nomic importance of the forest crop to
the state.
To any one who has seen a forest
fire in action it is very clear that the
individual is powerless against it.
Organized effort is necessary in order
to combat it successfully. This or
ganization should be in the hands of
the state. It is true that many or
ganizations for preventing and fight
ing forest fires exist among the coun
ties and the timber owners of the
Btate, but at the same time a central
organization is necessary . to give
head to the whole system. That is
just what the forestry law passed by
the last legislature does. It binds to
gether all agencies within the state
for effectively preventing and fighting
forest fires. It makes it certain that
the small timber owner and the
rancher will each receive the same
consideration from the state as does
the larger timber holder.
Under the provisions of the forestry
law the state forester is empowered to
require timber owners to burn slash
or debris whenever, in his judgment it
is a menace to adjoining property
Fire wardens will be appointed who
will be peace officers, with power to
arrest for any violation of the forest
laws.
The period between June 1st and
October 1st is declared to be a closed
season, during which it is unlawful to
set out fire in any slashing, woodand,
or brush land without written permis
sion from a fire warden. This provis
ion of the law does not apply to bum
ing brush heaps, log piles or stumps
in small quantities and under close
supervision. However, if fire should
get away when burning of this char
acter is done without permission, and
damage results, the one setting the
fire is regarded as guilty under this
act, and is subject to a fine of not
more than $500 or to imprisonment for
a term not to exceed three months.
The same penalty applies to those
who build camp fires without clear
ing the ground properly or who leave
camp fires burning or unwatched and
who permit camp fires to spread.
During me closed season all engines
of whatever character, which are
operated In the vicinity of forests,
must be equipped with effective spark
arresters.
These are some of the general pro
visions of the law. The complete act
can be had by writing to the state
forester at Salem. The whole intent
of the law is to protect a resource
which is of immense value to ail the
people of the state.
County Fair Arranged.
Oregon City Arrangements are be
ing made for the coming county fair
and from all indications this year's
fair will be one of the most successful
ever hold by the Clackamas county as
sociation. There will be a prize of
10 for the best exhibit. Clairmont.
Gladsone, Barlow, Maple Lane grange
and Warner grange have already ap
plied for space in the big auditorium.
One of the advantages of this fair will
be the installation of electric lights.
Albany Egg Biggest Yet.
Albany An Albany hen has broken
all the records for big eggs boasted of
in various parts of Oregon and
Washington in the last two weeks. A
hen belonging to A. S. Hart, of this
city, has laid an egg which measures
10 inches around one way and is eight
inches in circumference. It weighs
seven ounces. The egg has a soft
shell with an unusually large hard-
shelled egg inside of it.
Halibut Caught at Astoria. ,
Astoria A peculiar feature of this
season's fishing was that 50-pound
halibut was caught in a gill-net that
was drifting in the main channel op
posite the city front. These fish sel
dom enter the Columbia river, but as
the tides are high and , there is no
freshet, the water in the bay is brackish
and this attract! the deep-sea fish in
side.
BERRY SEASON AT HAND.
Hood River Crop Estimated at 75,
000 Crates.
Hood River The world's atention to
the Hood River valley was first called
by the excellent strawberries it was
shipping. That was nearly 20 years
ago. Shipment have .gone as far as
China and England, and have reached
those places in good condition. The
first shipment consisted of but few
crates, and was sent by the Davidson
Fruit company, of this city, now ship
pers in carload lota.
For several years past shipments o
strawberries from this city have to
taled from 75.00;) to 100,000 crates
each year, and as high as seven and
eight cars have been shipped in
single day. Shipments from the val
ley this season, it is expected, will
amount to at least 75,000 crates
which will be little in excess of last
year's shipment.
Strawberries raised in the United
States that come into competition with
these shipment are grown in Mi
souri, Arkansas and Colorado. Ber
ries grown elsewhere are either mar
keted before the Hood River berries
are ripe or after the Hood River ber
ries are off the market.
It is expected that shipment will
go forward this year a early as May
20, and in view of the fact that the
heavy frost in the Middle West have
cut own the berry crop for this year,
t is expected they will bring a very
high price. The strawberry situation
in the East point to a heavy crop, but
this does not affect the berries grown
in this section.
The strawberry fields in Hood River
have never been in better condition
than this year; vines and plants are in
a very high state of vitality. Grow
era are now busy cleaning their fields
and getting ready for picking.
There is but one problem connected
with strawberry growing in Hood
River that sometimes becomes serious
from a grower's standpoint, and that
is the securing of competent and suffi
cient help to pick and pack the crop,
in view of the fact that the berries
are very perishable and must be
picked from the vines, packed and
marketed each day.
It will require a large number of
people to harvest this year's crop, and
unless regiment of pickers and pack
era come into the Hood River valley
from outside sections, the growers
will be unable to cope with the situa
tion. The Indians from nearby reser
vations constitute a large percentage
of those who come to Hood River to
pick berries, and are among the best
pickers.
Heavy losses have been experienced
a a result of shortage of help. From
present indications there is a probabil
ity that help will be scarce this year,
and growers are eager and anxious to
correspond with parties who are will
ing to take up the work this season.
This year' crop should net the grow
ers approximately $150,000.
All danger from frost is now past
ana a large crop is assured.
"CANADA NOT SO GOOD."
Ex-Oregonian for Second Time Takes
Out Naturalization Psper.
Bend The much-heralded Canadian
homesteads have no attraction for W.
J. McGillvray, of Bend, who last week
at a session of the Circuit court held
at Prineville, for the second time in
his life secured naturalization papers.
The duplication of the experience of
becoming an upholder of Uncle Sam's
constitution was necessary in Mr. Mc-
Gillvray's case because a number of
years ago he left the United States,
going from South Dakota to Alberta,
where he found it necessary to swear
Bllcgiance to the crown before he
could take up a homestead.
The States are good enough for
me, said the ex-Canadian home
steader, after he had been naturalized
for the second time, "and Central Ore
gon has just as good lands as any to be
found in all Western Canada. You
bet I wouldn't give my papers for all
the homesteads in the Dominion."

especially of those who come to the
city from over the county. Thi was
the .unanimous decision at a meetintr
of the Commercial club recently. The
committee that canvassed the senti
ment of the business men was headed
by Mayor b. J. Murphy, and it was
favorable to a celebration elsewhere
than on the streets.
Forest Grove Will Pave.
Forest Grove The city council has
advertised for bids for paving 18
blocks in Forest Grove with bituiithic
pavement The bids are to be sealed
and will be opened May 24. The con
tractor must begin work within ten
day after the contract is signed, and
the contract will stipulate that the
work must be finished within 120dava.
The 18 block to be paved include the
principal business district of the town
and several residence streets.
Cove Orchard Lands Sell.
La Grande Unusual development of
orchard land about Cove, just across
the Grand Ronde valley from La
Grande, marks the beginning of the
active preparations for the 1911 fruit
season. Many deal are being made
weekly; new men are coming in to
buy fruit land, and fruit tree of all
descriptions are being planted with
much haste.
TRAOE IS RESUMED.
Bui No Arm or Ammunltlonllowed
to Cross Border.
Washington, JMay .'13. Legitimate
between the United State
and the border town of Mexico, now
held bv the insurrectos, will not be In-
rr..r. with bv the United State.
The problem of international law
arising from the bonier situation was
discussed by the cabinet today, and
the general policy wa laid down that
I b no interruption of
trade which did not violate the neu
tralitv of the United State.
Administration official decline to
discuss hypothetical question relating
to the exportation or arm ana am
munition. While there will be free
dom of ordinary commerce, it wa
clear it will be the policy to examine
every shipment, to see that it doe not
nffxiul the neutral position of this
country.
The State department issued an offi
cial statement outlining the policy,
but saying this government course
had no bearing on the question of the
reemrnition of the belligerency of the
insurrectos.
SECRETARY OF WAR
DICKINSON RESIGNS.
Washington, May 13. Secretary of
War Jacob M. Dickinson, of Tennes
see, the Democratic member of Presi
dent Taft' cabinet, has resigned,
Henry L. Stimson, of New York, re
cently defeated Republican candidate
for covernor of that state, has lieen
eiven the portfolio. This announce
ment was made from the White House
tonight.
In the letters exchanged between
the president and Mr. Dickinson no
reason other than that of pressing pri
vate affair ia given for the secre
tary's retirement. The reasons given
unofficially in oflirial circle are the
embarrassment caused by the fact
that Mr. Dickinson ia a Democrat in a
Republican cabinet; that friction has
occurred between him and Secretary
Knox over Mexican affair.
DIAZ STILL ON JOB.
But Willing to Word Resignation a
Madero Asks.
Mexico City, May 13. General
Diaz will not leave the presidency
while the country is in it present
state of unrest. He stands ready to
state in more explicit term than
those contained in his recent manifes
to, if necessary, hi attitude with ref
erence to hi retirement. He has de
manded to know from hi opponent
the terms in which they expect him to
announce his willingness to resign and
s waiting a reply from them.
The president's declaration last
Sunday was made in good faith and
with the desire to serve the interests
of his country. There was no subter
fuge in his declaration. He meant
what he said that he would lay down
the reins of government when he could
do so without danger of anarchy or
chaos following his action.
CONVICTS FIGHT FIRE.
Oregon Stat Insane Asylum Dam
aged By Blaze.
Salem, Ore., May 13. Fire that
partially destroyed the south wing of
the anylum for the insane last night,
in which 150 women patient were
confined, was extinguished only after
a desperate fight by the internes and
local department, assisted by convicts
from the penitentiary. All of the pa
tients were rescued without injury and
an hour later were sleeping peacefully
on improvised beds in other wards.
Origin of the fire is not known, but
probably It was duo to defective elec
trie wiring. The loss is estimated at
$15,000.
Panic seized the patient when
smoke and flames burst out in the
hulls and they shook the bars of their
windows frantically, shouting "fire."
Attendants and physicians rushed in
and in many cases women had to be
carried out bodily. Had it not been
for patent locks on the doors it is
probable that scores of helpless pa
tients would have penned either from
flBmes or the dense smoke that filled
the wing.
