Washington, March 13— Charles
M. Pepper, appointed by President
Roosevelt as Commissioner to carry
out the recommendations of the sec
ond International American Con
ference, held in Mexico two years
ago, with regard to the Pan-Ameri
can Railway, has submitted his re
port to the State Department, by
which it will be transmitted to Con
gress, the second conference creat
ing a permanent commission with
headquarters at Washington, of
which H. D. Davis is chairman and
Vndrew Carnegie is a member. The
other members are the ambassador
from Mexico and the Ministers from

was aided in Lis work by the United
States Ministers.
His inquiries
covered the general subject of trade
opportunities that would result from

CONNECT NEW YORK
AND BUENOS
AVKES
The report sajs that the general
project of an inter-continental line,
which ultimately will place New
York and Buenos Ayres in communi
cation, is receiving much encourage
ment. At the present time about
1800 miles are lacking, and the es
timated cost of construction is placed
at $150,000,000. This is based on
an average of 50 cents gold as a
daily wage for labor, with an effici
ency of 75 per cent as compared
with similar labor in the United
States.
^
Commissioner-Popper cites spe
cific causes that have contributed to
advance the intercontinental project.
These include the progress at both
ends, as shown in simultaneous ac.
tion by Mexico on the north and
Argentine Republic on the south to
extend their railway lines; the set
tlement of disputed boundaries and
other questions which heretofore
have caused the countries to be in
different to railways among them-
selves; the law passed by the Chilean
Congress for the tunnel through the
Andes, which will enable the long-
deferrod through railway connec
tion betwoen Buenos Avros and
Valparaiso to be made; legislation
by several of the republics with a
view of offering great inducements
for foreign capital to engage in
railway construction, and the de-
finite determination of the Panama
Canal question, which is exppeted to
be beneficial both in the stability
which will result from the influence
of the United States on the isthmus
nnd from the overflow of private
capitol into railway enterprises.
progress, and the $10,000,000 in
vestment of a United States syndi
cate in the copper mines of Cerro
de Pasco and in collateral railway
enterprises.
The working of the
bituminous coal deposits is predict
ed.
Full accounts are given of the
various railway enterprises in the
different countries and the conces

ducements to capital in the way of
government guarantees and sub
sidies and exemption of railway ma
terial from customs and intoruation-

Has J. C Conn Killed Himself?
A letter received from Silver Lake,
Lako County, Oregon, by Major
Buick, in substance says: On Fri
day morning, March 4, J. C. Conn,
(known in Roseburg where he was
born and raised and whose relatives
live around Roseburg,) was seen by
one of the clerks of his store at
Silver Lake to leave the store and
go in the direction of the Silver
Creek bridge.
This was early in
the morning and Mr. Conn did not
take with him his overcoat al
though it was bitterly cold at the
time.
As be neared the approach
of the bridge he was seen to stoop
down as though he was tying a
shoe-string or rolling up the bottom
of his pants and was seen to turn
around as if to return, but a few
minutes afterwards he was seen on
the top of the bridge and that was
the last seen of him.
from Silver Lake except that furn
ished by Major Buick in a letter
from his son, who lives there, and
in finishing the letter it is stated
the creek is swollen and a thorough
search has been made of the sur
rounding country and mountains
and not a trace of the missing man
was found.— Roscburg Plaindealer.

Mitchell's Daughter Dead.

W e Give
Portland, Ore. March 15:— Mrs.
Frances Hoyt Griffin, daughter of
Senator John H. Mitchell, of Ore
gon, died at 12 o’clock last night in
New York City, following a diffi
cult surgical operation. Details of
Mrs. Griffin’s sickness are not
known here. The news first came
in a telegram to Colonel David M.
Northern Dunne, collector of internal rev
enue. The telegram follows:
Washington, March 14.—The
supreme court of the United States
today rendered a docision in the
famous Northern Securities case,
which upholds the government’s
contention.
The merger is em
phatically declared to be in viola
tion of the Sherman anti-trust act,
and the opinion is a sweeping one,
which will have great effect on tbe
future formation of trusts or pro
hibitive corporations.
The decision was given in a vote
of fivo to four, Justices Holmes,
Peckman, White aud Fuller dis
senting.
Justice Harlan read the
opinion, giving the following per.
tinent points:
“ In our opinion,’’ says Harlan,
“ the evidence fully sustains the
charge that the defendants were
properly accused of monopolizing
or attempting to monopolize trade
between states. Tbe Northern Se
curities company was organized as
a holding corporation or custodian
of more than nine-tenths of the
stock of the Northern Paoific rail
way and three quarters of the
stock of the Great Northern rail
way. Both lines were held as if by
one ownership.
The holding com
pany dominated the roads for the
exclusive benefit of the stockhold-
s.
“ It became one great powerful
corporation, so that competition be
tween the constituent companies
might close.
Profits were to be
distributed on a basis of stock held
by the Northern Securities com
pany. The combination is one in
the shape of a trust.
No scheme
or device could be more thorough
ly a combination in the form of a
trust in the restraint of trade,"
“ We deem it sufficient to say,’’
continued Harlan, “ that every con
tract or combination or conspiracy
which operates in restraint of trade
is unlawful, whether it bo umeasou-
able or reasonable restraint. There
is no distinction. The law forbids
such a combination, even among
private manufactures or dealers.
Congress clearly has power to
establish rules governing commerce
between states and with foreign
countries.
Free competition as a
rule is prescribed to extinguish
combinations in restraint of com-
rce.”
“ The liberty of contracts is not
impaired by an act which congress
holds authority to enact.
Tbeso
principles have been distinctly an
nounced in other cases.
The con
stitution of the United States is a
supreme law, and a lawful and con
stitutional act of congress is as
binding on the states as though it
were iu the constitution of the
United States.
“ If the contentions of the North
ern Securities company is sound,
why could not all railroads in the
United States enter into a combine,
and by the device of holding cor-
porations, control rates all over the
country against the will of congress
“ Congress may protect the free
dom of interstate rates by lawful
means. No state corporation can
stand in the way of the enforce
ment of the popular will when law
fully expressed.
A state may cre
ate a corporation and authorize it to
engage in interstate
commerce.
Congress has no {lower over it un
less what it does interferes with an
act of congress.
A state may al
low combinations in restraint of its
domestic trade, if it sees fit, but it
must not go beyond its own bor.
ders, for a national authority con
trols the instrumentalities of the in
ter-state commerce.
“The decree of the court below
enjoins the Northern Securities
company from acquiring stock in
the two companies and from voting
what it holds; from exercising any
control over either of the roads, or
from permitting these things to be
done. The decree of the court be
low is affirmed, with liberty in exe
cution of such decree as circum
stances may dictate.
The absence of Mr. Conn from
the store during the day alurmed

ought to be. Yet every duty is an
opportunity, and we need no other

our moral muscle than the work

present task does not help us to be
more gentle, patient, kind, and
faithful it is exceedingly doubtful
whether any other set of circum
