Hill and former Senator W. A, Clark of Mon- tana had Lurmt-d an alliance for rail road aggression in the Pacific north-| west is now accredited In financial cir- | at first discounted the| story, and, on the other hand, a com bination is reported between [“l‘\‘flillr’nl.i Lovett of the Union Pacific and Presi dent Ripley of the Santa Fe. These forces are undoubtedly array- ing themselves in contemplation of the vast increase in traffic which will flow when the Panama canal is opened. Hill and Clark, it is belleved, are pre- paring to criss-cross the Pacific north- west with new lines and finally work down into the old Harriman territory, with an entrance into San Francisco as the ultimate goal, the goa) to which Mr. Hill has for years aspiréd. Lovett and Ripley, with their Southern Pa- cific and Santa Fe, will then attempt to invade the Hill domain on the | north. | This Hill-Clark combination seems ! a'l the more plausible in view of the focy that Clark owns the San Pedro frcv: Salt Lake City to Los Angeles | and the ocean, which would afford a | fine outlet for Hill interests in that | direction.

Clark, therefore, must | now realize his ability to make this al llance with Hill and defy the Harri- man interests to stop him, knowing that they would not be in a position to enforce an objection Omaha's Water Situation.

The court decides against the trust and dissolves it. On the same day the court also decides against the Standard Oil company in Tennessee, ousting it from that state. Both cases were appealed by the respective states, whose arms in combatting powertul combines are upheld by Judge Lurton and his associates The anti-Lurton sentiment had a right to a hearing and was accorded it, though perhaps it went a little too far In its severity. That being true, the deeision in hand might without in justice to anyone be regarded as proof of Judge Lurton’s fairness and a vin- dication of the president’'s choice.
