Four American school teachers who Commission on Corporations Says It Uses Worst of Methods. Washington, Aug. 5. Significant revolutions are made public in a re port submitted to President Roose i volt by Herbert Knox Smith, Com- nilssioner of Corporations, concern ing the operations of tho Standard Oil Compauy. In a previous report the ways nnd mot hods of the Standard woro ex plained. The present report sots forth the results of these methods I and the effect they have had on the consumption of oil and on the profits of the Standard Oil Company. Com missioner Smith says:' "The Standard Oil Company is re sponsible for the course of prices of petroleum and its products during the last 25 years. The Standard has consistently used its power to raise the price of oil during the last ten years, not only absolutely but also relatively to the cost of crude oil." The Standard has claimed that it has reduced the price of oil; that it has been a benefit to the consumer; and that only a great combination like the Standard could have fur nished oil at the prices that have prevailed. "Each one of these claims," says Commissioner Smith, "is disproved by this report." The increase in annual profits of the Standard Oil Company from 1 896 to 1904 was over $27,000,000. The report says: "The total dividends received by the Standard from 18S2 to 1906 were $551,822,124, thus averaging 2 4.15 per cent a year. The dividends however, were much less than the total earnings. It is substantially certain that the entire net earnings of the Standard from 1882 to 19 NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM THE STATE OF OREGON COUNTY SEAT FIGHT ON. Wallowa Anxious to Contest Honors With Town of Enterprise. Wallowa The Wallowa Commer cial Club has voted unauimously for the beginning of a county seat fight. John McDonald, S. T. Combs and Dr. G. W. Gregg were appointed a com mittee on finance, while C. T. Mc Daniel, Mayor J. P. Morelock and Councilman Edgar Marvin will ar range for the circulation of petitions to secure the vote next June. The meeting was well attended and the promise of support from Joseph was officially announced. The county seat is now at Enter prise and much dissatisfaction has been manifest for the past year. The county owns no public buildings and New Buildings for Corvallis. Salem At a special meeting of the State Board of Education, the contract for the building of the new Mechanics' Hall In connection with the Agricultural College at Corvallis was awarded to A. F. Peterson, of Portland, for $37,3C3, and for the steam-heating plant for the same building to Gardner, Kendall & Co., of Portland, for $3,525. These were the lowest bids offered. Each suc cessful bidder must furnish a bond in the sum of 50 per cent of the amount of the respective contracts and the building must be completed and ready for occupancy on or be fore February 1 of next year. FINtD $29,240,000 NAVAL OFFIGERS SGENT WAR NEAR Great Moropoly Is No Better Than Counterfeiters or Robbers. Chicago, Aug. 5. Judge Keneaaw M.

The report of Commissioner Smith shows that the Standard Oil Com pany is responsible for petroleum prices for the past quarter of a cen tury because this company has con trolled the industry. The report shows the price history of oil pro ducts since 1866, or practically since the beginning of the industry. This gives an opportunity to compare the course of prices during the earlier competitive period with the course of prices during the later monopolis tic period. It also shows that prices would have been lower during this later period under normal competi tive conditions and in the absence of any such overshadowing combination as has actually existed. These prices show directly the ef fect that the existence of this com bination has had upon the consumer and also the results that have ac crued to the combination itself by way of profits. Just conclusion can thus be drawn of the way the Stand ard Oil has used its great industrial power. SECOND HEARING BEGUN. in making sketches of fortifications and harbors. Corean soldiers revolted against disbandment and fought Japanese in Seoul, but were quelled. Choate has made a powerful speech for a permanent arbitration court at The Hague.

A revolt a few miles from San tiago, Cuba, was quickly put down. county. The vote to be taken next June will decide the location of the county seat definitely, and every ef fort possible will be put forth on each side. The aspirations of Wallowa have long been growing and have at length taken form. The struggle was provoked by the action of resi dents of Enterprise a week ago in attempting to get the county court to build a courthouse. Their offer Clerk G. G. Brown, of the State Land Board, was $47,785.37, which is a considerable falling off from the volume of business conducted last month, when the receipts reached a total of over $100,000. This latter, however, was due to the transactions incident to the cancellation and re purchasing of certificates resulting from the land fraud investigations. Railroad Not to Blame.

The prepara tions for the second federal investi gations of the relations between the Standard Oil Company of Indiana and the Chicago & Alton Railroad, ordered by Judge Landis of tha United States District Court on Sat urday, will begin tomorrow. The call for the special grand jury will be issued and United States District At torney Sims will go over all the evi dence presented at the recent trial of the Standard Oil Company, which resulted in conviction and a fine of $29,240,000, and will select the wit nesses to be subpoenaed. It de veloped that the reason for haste in this investigation is that the statute of limitations is running against the government, and because of it the Chicago & Alton will escape re-indictment on between 80 and 100 counts of the 1,462 on which the Standard Oil Company was con victed. This statute of limitations bars prosecution on offenses committed more than three years before indict ment. Many of the shipments on which the Standard Oil Company was convicted of accepting rebates occurred between September, 1903, and August, 1904. When the grand jury convenes on August 14, a few days will suffice to present the evi dence against the Alton. The jury will consider infractions of the Elkins Law occurring from August, 1904, until March, 1905. Pendleton Will Moore, manager rresiaenu juuiKey, oi tne Asmana for the Pacific Coast Elevator Com- normal, wno urged tne immediate pany, says, regarding the advance need of some new buildings to ac- in warehouse charges: "The ware- commou.ue me growin ana uemanas house charges, even with the 50 per of that institution. cent advance, will still be so moder ate as to afford the grain brokers but little hope of getting in the same financial class with the farmers. Ac cording to the statement of Mr. Moore, the advance in the charges will mean just three-fourths of a Wind Shakes Prune Trees. ! Albany The strange wind storm which swept this part of the state last night played the strange freak of relieving prune-growers of the assessed against any individual or any corporation in the history of American jurisprudence. The case will bo carried to the higher courts by the defendant company. The penalty imposed on the com pany is the maximum permitted un der the law and it was announced at the end of a long opinion, In which tho methods and practices of the Standard Oil Company were merci lessly scored. The judge, in fact, de clared In his opinion that the offi cials of the Standard Oil Company who were responsible for tho prac tices of which the corporation was found guilty, were no better than counterfeiters and thieves, his exact language being: "We may as well look at this sit uation squarely. The men who thus deliberately violated this law wound society more deeply than does he who counterfeits the coin or steals letters from the mail. The nominal defendant is the Standard Oil Com pany of Indiana, a million-dollar cor poration. The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, whose capital is $100,000,000, is the real defendant. This is for the reason that, if a body of men organize a large corporation under the laws of one state for the purpose of v carrying on business throughout the United States and for the accomplishment of that purpose absorb the stock of other corpora tions, such corporations so absorbed have thenceforth but a nominal existence. They cannot initiate or execute any inherent business policy, their elimination in this respect be ing a prime consideration for their absorption. So, when after this pro cess has taken place, a crime is com mitted in the name of such smaller corporation, the law will not consid er that the latter corporation is the real offender. And where the only possible motive of the crime is the enhancement of dividends and the only punishment authorized is a fine, great caution must be exercised lest the fixing of a small amount encour age the defendant to further viola tions by esteeming the penalty to be in the nature of a license. "The defendant argues that to hold it for 1,462 offenses would be a violation of the constitutional pro hibition against the imposition of excessive fines ,and it is urged that congress could never have intended to confer upon the court such power. It is the view of the court that for the law to take from one of its cor porate creatures as a penalty for the commission of a dividend-producing crime less than one-third of its net revenues accrued during the period of violation falls far short of the im position of an excessive fine, and surely to do this would not be the exercise of as much real power as is employed when a sentence is ini Immediate Cause. Official Announcement That Battle ships Will Come to Pacific Causes Visions of Promotion to Dares Before Seadogs' Eyes Hoodlums Will Become Bold. Washington, Aug. 3. There was much jubilation on the pait of naval officers today over the specific and un qualified announcement at Oyster Bay that the battleships of the Atlantic fleet will be sent to the Pucific. Until this statement was made by authority of President Roosevelt there was a grow ing feeling on the part of naval officers that these vessels) would not be sent around Cape Horn. One of the most substantial officers of the navy believes that the tending of these battleships to the California coast will cause ho much irritation that war between the United Slates and Japan will be the result. 1 hey are already figuring on promotions, as history baa shown that advancement in the naval service is much more rapid duiing war than in peace. All naval officers are forbidden to diBcuss international questions fcr pub lication, but privately they do not hesi tate to declare that they believe that as soon as the Altantic fleet Btarts on its long voyage to the Pacific the Japanese government will send one of its fleets to the coast of California or to the At lantic coast. They declare that the presence of the battleehips of Admiral Evans on the Pacific will cause the people in that part of the country to become more bold in their attacks on the Japanese. This, they say, will cause irritation, which they fear will lead to serious consequences. ADD NEW TRAIN. cent a bushel to the farmers. Tiopoccltv of cfialitnir tliplr trooa in thin out the yield.

Southern Pacific Will Inaugurate New Express Service, Portland, Aug. 3. Ilarriman offi cials, both in Poitland and San Fran cisco, are seriously considering placing a special mail and express train on the Portland-San Francisco run. It ie ex pected that a decision will be reached in a few days. Railroad oilicials are inclined to think the additional service is assured, althougirthe train will have to be officially ordered by General Man ager Culvin fioia the San Francisco office. The proposed new train will be re served exclusively for handling mail and express, and is being considered as an expedient for relieving existing con gested conditions, which, it is said, ar6 responsible largely for the unsatisfac tory passenger service on this branch of the Southern Pacific. This tpecial will carry no passengers.; The express business on this line baa increased to an extent that it is impos sible to handle it with the facilities that are now provided in the passenger trains and at the s mie time make schedule time with these ttains. By combining both the express mid mail business and handling it with a special tihin, the railroad ofliciflls figure that t will be possible to operate its passen ger trains on schedule time, since it in the discharging and receiving of ex press that invariably delays trains.
