Washington, Jan. 30. The supreme
court today rendered a decision ad
verse to Swift & Co., other compa
nies In the beef .trust, on their appeal
from the Injunction of the federal
court of the northern district of Illi
nois, restraining illegal combination
to restrict competition in the pur
chase uf livestock and the aule of
dressed beef.
A sweeping injunction was affirm
ed, with certain minor modifications.
to make Jt .conform to the bill of the
attorney general. The decision was
unanimous.
This clinches the ' victory already
won by the farmers and stockgrow
ers of Illinois, in their suit to prevent
depresaiou nif the stock business by
the trust.
The decision of the circuit court
which fouud for the stockmen was
made certain by the report of the.
statistician of the state of Iowa, for
y04. which showed that the beef
trust had directly caused 45 i-ank
failures in farming districts of Iowa
by throttling the livestock Industry.
Immediate steps will be taken to
enforce the Injunction and a rise In
livestock prices Is expected. .

Heport of Jefferson Myers.
Hon. Jefferson Myers, president of
the Oregon commission for the 1906
fair, has made a report of progress
to the governor, in which he shows
that there will be a balance of about
I860 In the JS0.O0O set apart for the
St. Louis exposition, after all bills are
paid: and a balance of $79,044.9, be

loons, gamblers 'and rough element
could combine In the election of a
mayor and council and open the town
to vice. In spite of the wishes of the
moral element In the community. The
same kind of an amendment -to the
charter of Freewater haa been re
ceived by the Umatilla county dele
gation. , .
While there is no possibility of an
amendment passing the legislature,
this move yet shows the Intention of
the law-breaking element. Every
extreme step Is to be taken to make
Pendleton an open town. The death
struggle is now In this state between
the moral and Immoral forces, and
if the law-abiding element ' In every
community will urge the legislature
to pass the bill making gambling a
felony, the tendency toward Increas
ed vices may be checked. The legis
lature needs and desires the sentiment
of the people on this matter and If
the moral and law-abiding element
remains silent and only the law
breakers speak. It will seem that
there Is no sentiment In favor of the
antl-gambllng law.
Tha object of the amendment to the
charters of Pendleton and Freewater
la to make It easier to conduct open
gambling and to make vice more
brasen. From past experiences In
Oregon the gamblers and their bosses
have found It much easier to deal
with mayors and city councils of their
own choosing than to deal with pros
ecuting attorneys and courts selected
by the people at large.
If the people desire better morals
and a decrease of vice, they will pro
test against this amendment In no
uncertain tone of voice.

IjoiiIh 4S2.M, Omaha. St, Paul and
Kansas City $IS If Returning by
Way of California, Sll Extra Added.
San Francisco, Jan. 30. The over
land railroad officials have decided
upon rates direct from Chicago and
St Louis and all Missouri river towns
to the Lewis and Clark exposition at
Portland next summer.
From Omaha, Kansas City, St. Paul
and all other Missouri river points a
round trip rate of 4B to the expo
sition has been made. This Is 85 less
than the regular one way fare and Is
not good by way of California.
The roads between the Missouri
river and Chicago and St. Louis have
decided upon a single fare for the
round trip. This means $11.50 added
to the $45 mentioned for the Chicago
round trip fare, or $56.50.
Tha round trip from St. Louis will
be $7.60 added to $46, or $53.60.
On February 17 next the passenger
officials are to decide upon round
trip rates to Portland via California,
either going or returning. It is very
likely that an extra charge of $11 will
be made. In that case the rate from
Missouri river points via California
to Portland would be $46 added to
the $11 for the round trip, or $56.
The Chicago and St. Louis rates men
tloned will be similarly Increased If
the California route Is taken.
