Judge Laudis then resumed questioning Rockefeller, , who was unable to state whther the Standard of New Jersey is engaged in refining oil in other relinerie than those in New Jersey, but he pre sumed the stock in other refineries was held by the Standard of New Jersey. Rockefeller testified that the dividends of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey for the years 1903, 1904 and 1905 were approximately 40 per cent of the outstanding capital. He could not state what the net earnings were for those years. The court wanted to know which of the officers could give the in formation desired, and Rockefeller stat ed that undoubtedly one of the gentle men here under subpena could. .Judge Landis said that Secretary Pratt of the Standard Oil Company and several officers were present and asked Rockefeller if he could give any infor mation. Rockefeller said that he thought lie could. , . Pratt was then called, and Rockefeller dismissed. Pratt said that Rockefeller's estimates of out-tanding capital and dividends were correct, exact figures be-' ing within a few dollars of $98,300,000. Tie said that the net earnings of the company for 1903 were $81,300,000; for 1904 they were $01500,000 and for 1905 a trifle over $57,000,000. Pratt stated that the properties of the Standard Oil are worth vastly more than $100,000,000. This sum, he said, is what the capital employed in it is. , , j Pratt said as he understands it. "a very large proportion of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana stock is held by individuals, corporate stockholders of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. Pralt said that he thought 4995 shares of the Indiana Company stock was about correct the percentage controlled by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. He was unable to give the exact percentage of Union Tank Line stock controlled by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey but he thought that it controlled a majority of the stock. The ( ;:in iccaiicu a:m for a lew more WASHINGTON, July 8llesds of naval bureau assert ignorance of plans of administration to send battleship fleet to the Pacific notwithstanding the official continuation of the reports. These buroeu ehlefs y that they r engaged only In -routine work and are making no unusual preparations. On the surface there are few signs of abnormal activity in the navy department. Many chiefs are away and the usual propor tion of subordinates are on a vacation. But plans of the department for this particular summer fit well with exi gencies of the moment. The matter of s coal supply is an instance. Movement of this fuel to the far east and the Pacific Coast may l able to meet aver age demands of service. In fact, tt is Id that coal would have gone forward lie fore this had the money been avail-1 able for the beginning of a new fiscal year. The supply of re-erve naval guns and ammunition and of torpedoes is found to be much nearer the seeds of service than ever before at this season of the year. Construction of guns and armanent for new vessels will be ready hy the time the contractors have fin- shed with the hulls. Last year the navy department found it impossible to spend all the money appropriated for the machinery plant in Bremerton Navy Yard because the materials and skilled abor was scarce. Special inducements must be made to secure skilled labor to make their homes in Bremerton and it is lielieved steps already have been tak- in -this direction. Notwithstanding the absence of flurry among the few officialj who remain in Washington it Is patent much useful work is being done in a .quiet war to put the navy and army defenses in good position. ilnlave YouAnvtal Estate FOR SALE?

No place on the coast is so favorably situated as the Columbia Riv-. er to furnish a location for the drydock which must of necessity be built; and no place on the Columbia can compete with Astoria in offering inducements to build this dock here.
