A'.bllr to" repeal the corporation tax law, and providing a substitute there for was prepared last night under the : direction of the executive committee of tho Oregon Miners' association, and will be introduced at the special session of the legislature, which will' meet next Monday. . The' Eddy law was passed at the last . regular session of the legislature. It places a tax of from 4125 to $250 a ,; year on mining corporations doing busi ness In this state, and was generally understood to be a measure designed to . defeat so-called wildcat mining -schemes. . . The proposed new measure makes no changes of consequence, even in the text of t ha Eddy law, except to reduce the amount of ;.the annual tax to from 15- to $15-a year.-- - - - A member of the Oregon Miners', as sociation said today: '. "The Eddy law as it now stands is r being used in the East today to promote the most reckless kind of wildcat min ing. We know it, A mining corpora tion pays the secretary of state $250, gets a big certificate with a. swell seal on it, and, armed with this and other - Important-looking papers, a represents- tlve goes back east into some hayseed community, and sells mining stork easier on the strength- of that tax certificate, or just as easily as he could-under law requiring ft less- tax. "The Oregon Miners' association has for its members four,-fifths,of the mln- era of the state, including some of the most prominent mining men of Port- land, and other citizens. The associa tion is regularly - organized and has a constitution and by-laws. The mining . men of this state, or a, vaBt majority of them, are opposed to the Eddy law, and intend to have it repealed by the special session If they can, and the prospect looks favorable." . ; " The new law, it is said, will be Intro duced by a member from Multnomah county.

Washington, Dec 15, Another large and distinguished audience attended in the supreme court today and even stand ing room was all oocupied by those, wish ing to hear Attorney-General Knox In be half of the government In the celebrated Northern Securities case. This, is Knox's first appearance in 'person since be was appointed to the Cabinet and much Inter est was manifest when an under-sized, smooth-faced, youthful looking man be gan his address at nooa He proved very brilliant, although no attempt at oratory was made. His clear incisive tones were audible throughout Jbe crowded chamber which Is nationally noted tor . its bad acoustic, properties. The attorney-general rarely Indulged in gesticulation al though he sometimes sharply brought his . fingers together on his palm and called the promoters of the Northern Se curities company "would-be empire build ers , and Oriental dreamers'-. He said their real plan was to secure from' the publican absolute' and uhdefeatable mo nopoly of . all transportation facilities over territory traversed by their conJ cerns. ' ., .The greatest attention was paid to the severe scoring he administered to the "octopus,'' as he several times styled the company. No part of his speech was suggestive of rancor, neither of ridicule, but straight from the shoulder he hit right and left and clearly defined the ob jects of the company which he said were not for the benefit of any but a few for tunale ones who sought to rob the peo ple. , - t f . He closed his argument at 2 o'clock with telling effect upon all who heard him. , In closing he said: "Gentlemen on the other side have referred to them selves as criminals and expected the, court to be horrified at such an appel lation. We have- not yet referred to you as criminals, but - as defendants in equity and that is what you are. It is 1 1 me enough to evoke a strict construc tion of the statute when you shall have een actually arraigned and charged with crime." He declared the statute under which the case was brought to be remedial rather than penal and quoted the decis ions of the ' trans-Mlssourt and joint traffic, cases to show, their applicability to the securities case. He declared the government's case would be put Into one terse sentence: "Is there a com bination and does It restrain interstate commerce?" and to prove that the Securities Is a trust road it ..would be easy from the testimony of Morgan, Hill,-Clough and others. He said Hill and Morgan are men who are responsible for this organisation which is 'strictly prohibited by. law. ; To detiy that it is such a combination challenges common intelligence, and to deny that It is In restraint of the court challenges the authority of this -court. i ' LEWIS AND CLARK MAY LOSE IDAHO .'

Sullivan has always been accustomed to recelye $25 advance money on every member of a crew he furnishes.

' The Port Patrick is bound for. Sydney, Australia. A United States law says that not- more than $1 a day for 20 days shall be col lected in advance from sailors who are going from one Pacific port to another, If they sign to make the voyage but one way. The members of .the new crew in sisted on signing only for the trip to Sydney. This - plan was agreeable to the captain and all concerned except Sul livan. He demanded $25 Instead of $20 a man regardless of the law. Jlia demands wero Ignored, and for a time It looked as though the skipper of the Port Patrick would have to send elsewhere for a crew. There was some talk of sending to San . Francisco for men, but-It Is believed that the differ ences will be adjusted today and a crew fceourjd here, if the matter Js amicably settled Sullivan will get only $20 as advance money, a smaller sum than he has been accustomed to receiving. The British consul states that the law will be upheld to the very letter, -' Representatives of the boarding-house were in the hallway of the consul's of fice at a late hour, and it Is believed that they were there to "Offer terms of capitulation.

A party of men followed the trail about seven miles until they came to the car standing; on a siding. Cries came from within and the prisoner was soon liberated. This, was about 6 o'clock this morning. Officers all through that section of, the country are searching for the:uian, who had not been heard of up to noon to day. - Mr. Congleton is an old pioneer in this section and. is well known in county politics.

Money . to Stock. -holders Than Any Corporation in the World $275,000,000 Iq Six Years. 1 (Journal Special Serrlce.)' New .York,' Deo,- 15. Those persons' fortunate enough to own Standard Oil! stock received a , handsome . Christmas present today In the shape of checks: for. their share of the $12,000,000, rep- resenting the fourth and last quarterly; dividend of the year. Tb&) dividend dis bursed today amounts to $13 a share, ' which is an increase of $2 over the divi dend declared at this time last year. This brings, the total dividends for the year to 44 per cent, or $44,000,000. In dividends for the full year. There is no regular rate of dividend paid on Standard Oil stock. The distri bution Is made out of the earnings of the quarter. When' the directors meet slips of paper-are presented showing the profits up to date for the quarter. amount shall be distributed In dividends to the stockholders. In the fall and winter months, when the use of oil and kindred products . is larger, - the divi dends declared are proportionately; larger. John D. Rockefeller is credited with owning 33 per cent of the stock of the Standard Oil company, and bis receipts from the .earnings of the corporation during the current year appear to be approximately $15,000,000. - Immense Betnrns. The four quarterly dividends of the corporation this year are as follows: March, 20 per cent; June,-7 pr cent;i September, 6 per cent; November, 12' per cent : In the first Quarter of 1 90 'i.; 20- per cent was declared; second, quar ter, 10 per cent; third quarter, 5 pot cont,: and last quarter, 10 per cent. The increase in the dividend during the cur rent quarter Is due to larger earnings, resulting from a sharp advance in ttm price of oil. According to an official of the Standard Oil, the corporation car ries no surplus, giving the benefit of all earnings to the stockholders. The Standard Oil company Is now dis bursing more money to stockholder than any other corporation in the world., The United States Steel corporation! held first place as a dividend-payer pre-! vious to the reduction in the- common, dividend, and the conversion of prs- f erred stock 'into bonds. - It now rank second to the Standard Oil company.: Since January 1. 1897, the Standard Oil! company has paid to stockholders mor than $75,000,000 In dividends. Of that amount John X. Rockefeller has re-t celved more than $90,000,000. Since; 1891, the disbursements of the corpora-! tlon run close to $375,000,000, or nearly four times greater than the $100,000, 000! capital stock. Idea of the Maraltnde. , A fair Idea ' of the magnitude of tht dividends of the Standard Oil company can be obtained from the fact that thai Pennsylvania Railroad company, withlnj the last 57 years, has paid something like $215,000,000 to stockholders, or $60,-1 000,000 less than the stockholders of the: Rockefeller corporation have received lyf six years. - In view of the fact that oil has been! advancing on the strengths of reports' that production is falling off very rap-l idly, the present increased dividend of; the Standard Oil company has caused! considerable Interest In financial circles.! People in close touch with the situation! say that it is very unlikely' that Rock- feller interests would agree" to an iii-i crease in disbursements to stockholders1 if they believed that an oil famine was' threatened.
