HARRIMAN
Townsite Now Open
Situated near the Malheur Lake, on a high, fine gentle
sloping tract of land. This site offers exceptional
opportunity for making a good city. Vast areas of ara
ble territory spread out in all directions. Every valley
and streamlet of the distant mountains has its ranches
and flourishing livestock. Considerable land in the
valley is still subject to homestead entry, and with the
advent of the
Oregon-Eastern Railway
Now building toward Harney Valley, this grand new
empire will teem with land seekers and people seeking
business opportunities and professional locations.

A limited number of lots are now offered for sale at remarkably low prices,
either for cash or on easy terms, which prices will advance when the raihoud

Waahlngton. Lobbying In Ita crude
form haa disappeared so far aa Wash
ington la concerned. This Is shown
not only by the results thus far ob
tained In the senatorial Investigation
Into President Wilson's charge that
an "Insidious" lobby has been blocking
his tariff revision plans, but by facts
which are common property In the na
tional capltol.
Representative of corporations do
not pasa money to senators and mem
bers aa they did In the "good old
times." Stock Investments for legis
lators In which the latter without the
risks reaped the profits either In the
form of checks from brokers or certi
ficates of deposit alao have been rele
gated to the past.
Senator Say President Lobbyist
An uneipected turn waa given to
the "lobby" Investigation when Sena
tor Townsend. of Michigan, republican
declared on trie stand that the Influ
ence wielded by President Wilson and
the democratic secret caucus on the
making of the tariff bill constituted
the "nearest approach to undue In
fluence on members of congress' that
the Investigating committee would be
able to find.
Senator Townaend's statements In
relation to Prealdent Wllaon were not
In the form of charges. He eipressly
said he did not charge the president
with using Improper methods, but he
Insisted that the charges that lobbies
existed and the activity of the presi
dent In support of free wool and free
sugar amounted to an "undue Influ
ence," even though be did not us the
"big etlck" of patronage.
Mlnneaota Wlna State Rate Fight.
The power of the states to fix rea
sotinhle Intrastate rales on Interstate
railroads until such time as congress
shall choose to regulate) these rates
was upheld by the supreme court of
the I'nltod States In the Minnesota
freight and passenger rate cases.
At the same time the court laid
down far-reaching principles gov. rn
lug the valuation of railroad property
for rate-making purposes, uud, accord
ing to these, held that the state of
Minnesota would confiscate the prop
erty of the Minneapolis ft St. Louis
railroad company by Its muxlmum
freight and 2-cent passenger fare law.
It enjoined the state from enforcing
these laws as to this roud for the
present. In the eases of the Northern
I'.uiiic and Oroat Northern, however,
It held that the roads hud failed to
show that the ratea war "unreason
able" or "confiscatory."
The decision, regarded as one of the
most Important ever announced by the
court, had been under consideration
for 14 months. Railroad commissions
from eight states and the governors
of all the states filed briefs In support
of the state In the oases, recognising
that the principle Involved affected
them all.
Tariff Blew Aimed at Tobacco Trust
In accord with suggestions of Attor
ney Oeneral McKeyuolds, Senator
Hllcboock, of Nebraska, introduced an
uuti trust amendment to the Under
wood tariff bill which would levy a
special additional excise tax on a slid
ing or graduated scale on manufac
tures of cigars, tobacco, cigarettes und
euuff. The amendment, coming from
a democratic member, will i
thorough consideration from the flu
ance committee.
The progressive excise tax proposed
would not reai li a uiuuufuclurer until
he controlled about zfi per cunt of the
tutul production of the articles.

SUIT TO DISSOLVE
"KODAK TRUST"
Buffalo Dissolution of the so-called
"Eastman Kodak Trust" waa aaked
In a civil suit filed here by order ot
Attorney-General McReynolds. The
federal government seeks the dissolu
tion by receivership. If necessary, ot
the Eastman Kodak company of New
Jersey, and the Eastman Kodak cork
pany of New York, which are charged
with monopolizing the trade In photo
graphic supplies.
It Is the aim of the government to
obtain a division of the assets and
business of the two companies, con
trolling T2 per cent of the business In
the United States. Into such parts aa
will destroy the alleged monopoly and
restore competition. The petition In
equity asks for an Injunction forbid
ding the fixing of resale prices of
camera, f lm.; and other patented
photographic supplies.
This marks the attorney-general's
first application of the recent decis
ion of the United States supreme
court denying patentees the right to
fix resale prices of retailers.
The alleged monopoly has been ac
complished, the petition declares, by
the Kastman company's absorbing or
acquiring control of a great number
of competitors in the United States
and foreign countries.
