"TRUST BUSTING" EXPENSIVE Postoffice Department to Have Official Flag—School Children Give President Roosevelt Great Ovation [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE] Washington, D. C., June 3, 1907. Trust investigations and prosecutions are costing Uncle Sam a pretty annoyance and the real work of "trust busting" is in its infancy according to the plans of the administration. The cost of special counsel has taken the largest sum, the department of justice in the last four years having paid out more than $280,000 for this purpose. Dividing the amount into items, the sum spent in waging war against each trust is about as follows: Beef trust ... $48,000 Standard oil (in court) ... 45,000 Tobacco trust (under investigation) ... 42,000 Paper trust (concluded) ... 20,000 Harvester trust (under investigation)... 80,000 Fertilizer trust (in court) ... 25,000 Coal and oil-carrying railroads (under investigation) ... 10,000 Powder trust (under investigation) ... 7,000 Turpentine trust ... 25,000 Fines collected by the government ... $30,000 In addition to the above, there are other minor matters in the trust line under searching fire of the officials of justice, but the sums spent on these are nothing compared to what has been and will be spent on the more important trusts. Big money has to be paid for special counsel in order to get results. The two principal attorneys of the department are paid $12,000 a year each and are as may be considered desirable. THE PRESIDENT DEE-LIGHTED. President Roosevelt will long member the ovation he received at the entertainment that recently took place in Washington in which children participated in a festival song. It was a notable occasion because the singing of the children vastly interested the chief executive who occupied a box with Mrs. Roosevelt, Ethel and Quentin Roosevelt and a party of friends. The president was simply lighted. He applauded every number, and when the Star Spangler Banner was rendered, the president was the first to bound to his feet. Of course, the audience quickly followed him, and it was indeed a picture to view the presidential family waving their handkerchiefs and joining in the chorus. All of a sudden the president disappeared from the box, and a few moments later the roar of the chant cheering told that the president with his great love for the youngsters, had gone "back of the scene" to see his little friends. He sheds hands with as many as possible in response to the cry for a speech said, "God bless you children. You have done first rate. I congratulate you. I do not know when I have enjoyed anything more. Good luck to all of you, my dears." After this the president returned to his box and was greeted with such a storm of cheers and applause that he had to rise again and bow his acknowledgments. The tire event was a memorable one among those who witnessed it will no doubt tell of it to their children and other minor matters in the trust line under searching fire of the officials of justice, but the sums spent on these are nothing compared to what has been and will be spent on the more important trusts. Big money has to be paid for special counsel in order to get results. The two principal attorneys of the department are paid $12,000 a year each and are devoting only a part of their time to the work, while the assistant attorney general, who is giving all his time to it, and who has direct charge of the tobacco trust investigation, receives $16,000 a year. These sums are not as high as the fees received by many attorneys in private practice, but they are considered large for government business; yet they are not as high as was paid to the attorneys when the investigations were being made under the Knox administration. Just at the present time the Harriman investigation is receiving the attention of the officials in the department of justice, aided by the interstate commerce commission, and the attorney in charge of this work alone is receiving $12,000 yearly in addition to special fees from the commerce commission. There is really no way to gauge the total cost to be spent each year in curbing the trusts, but it is realized that for a few years longer an unlimited sum will have to be placed at the disposal of the officials who are now known as "trust-busters." A POSTAL FLAG. Rather a unique suggestion has been received by the postoffice department to the effect that the department adopt an official flag. It is pointed out that the president, the war, navy, commerce and labor and the treasury bureaus, all have official department flags, yet the postoffice department, one of the most important bureaus and whose operations extend all over the world is without one. Forty Thousand Workmen Idle According to the figures based on an investigation conducted by Habor Commissioner W. V. Stafford there are approximately 40,000 persons idle in San Francisco as the direct and indirect results of the existing labor troubles. Stafford, who was formerly state labor commissioner, has submitted the follow report to Governor Gillett: "San Francisco Musicians' union has a membership of 900. At this time but fifty are working regularly. The majority of the members in union are taking turn about for employment. Of about 6000 clean and salesmen in retail stores, 25 are out of employment, and that are working get two days weekly, some with and some with pay. There are 12,000 iron workers, 000 car men, 500 telephone girls, 1700 laundry workers out on street ten thousand men of the building trades are out of work through strikes, lack of material and lack money. Three hundred launder drivers are out of employment as a result of the launder workers' strike. Up to a month ago architects draftsmen who could not speak English, and were glad to get them. Now there are four or five applicants in every office daily and no work be had. The restaurant business cut in half and the help diminished proportionately. Four thousand borers on street railroad work." been received by the postoffice department to the effect that the department adopt an official flag. It is pointed out that the president, the war, navy, commerce and labor and the treasury bureaus, all have official department flags, yet the postoffice department, one of the most important bureaus and whose operations extend all over the world is without one. The postal officials are giving serious consideration to the suggestion and may even adopt the style of flag that has been designed by the person making the suggestion. This is intended to represent an envelope with the seals of the postoffice department on the reverse side, the whole to be made of the national colors, thus symbolic of the postal service. The postoffice department now requires American steamships under contract for carrying the mails between ports of the United States and foreign countries to carry a distinguishing pennant or burgee. The regulations provide that the mail flag be hoisted at the mizzen when the first pouch or bag of mail comes on board, and flown in port from 8 a.m. until sundown whenever there are mails remaining on the vessel. If the new style of flag is adopted it will be the one used on steamers transporting mails and will also be flown over postoffices on occasions of ceremony and at such other times Celery Growers File Claim Celery growers of Orange city, who claim to have lost $150 through the failure of the railway to move their crops, contempt bringing suit to recover damages therefor. The interstate commission, which was to have in Los Angeles last week, would take up this matter and gone to bottom of it, with a view to attaining why the railroad did furnish cars to move this crop. It has been contended by the roads right along that it did have cars sufficient to move the ifornia product, neither in the Norton in the South. To determine question from an official standpoint the interstate commerce committee would doubtless have summoned the managers of the railroad question, namely the Southern AUTOMOBILES! Ford Moline Wayne, Maxwell Touring Cars and Runabouts. Call us up for demonstration. P. J. Weisel, Agent Anaheim, Cal. Phone Main 582 cific and Santa Fe, and their answer would have been a matter of record. The California Vegetable union, acting for these celery growers, will file, it is said, if it has not already done so, claims with the Southern Pacific officials for the amount demanded, but it is stated that this will be the end of its action, as it does not intend to take steps to recover remunerative damages. The shippers' aim is to avoid legal complications by showing the railroad company, in a friendly manner, just how they lost their crops through its failure to furnish cars when the same were most needed. It is claimed such a failure, when the shortage was most felt, the California Vegetable union officials investigated and found large numbers of empty cars scattered along the lines of the roads. These were furnished when the demand became strenuous, but never in sufficient numbers to move the crop, and immense quantities of the finest celery was left to rot in the fields. To recover the loss, it is claimed the railroad company is responsible for, a suit at law is now threatened. With Ordinance No. 71 An Ordinance granting to Anaheim Gas Co. the right to construct, lay down, and maintain and operate a pipe-line and under certain public ways, of Orange county, and carry and transmit through said pipe either natural or manufactured gas to be used for light, heat and power poses. The Board of Supervisors of the County, State of California, do ordain laws: Section 1. That the privilege and chise is hereby granted to Anaheim Gas Co. and its assigns, to construct, erect, lay maintain and operate a pipe-line also under certain public highways of Orange county, hereinafter mentioned; and to transmit through said pipe-line natural or manufactured gas to be used light, heat and power purposes, for the of twenty-five years, from and after the sage of this ordinance. That said pipe-line shall be constructed from the North boundary line of the Anaheim to the South boundary line of City of Fullerton, and along the public ways of this County outside of the limits incorporated cities of this county and cent to said cities now or hereafter established, as may be necessary or convenient said purpose, and for the period of two years to conduct, carry and transmit said pipe-line either natural or manufactured gas, to be used for light, heat and power poses, together with the right to proper struct and operate said pipe-line and to er gas to consumers, during said period twenty-five years, and to carry, conduct transmit either natural or manufactured by means of said pipe-line for light, heat power purposes, with the right to co-ordinate all such traps, man-drips, appliances and attachments, as necessary for the purpose of safely andently operating and maintaining said line and supplying gas to consumers, erect any building or buildings fronting abutting upon any of said public highway. Section 2. That the said pipe-line consist of one main line laid parallel with public highways and such other lines necessary to connect with pipe on property consumers.

Good luck by dears." The president returned was greeted with such orders and applause that again and again to acknowledgments.

Four thousand lanet railroad work are investigated and found large numbers of empty cars scattered along the lines of the roads.

To recover the loss, it is claimed the railroad company is responsible for, a suit at law is now threatened. With the present temper of the people on car shortage, it seems to us that the railroad company should give the subject most careful attention to the end that the losses which occurred by reason of failure to supply cars in adequate quantities to remove the crops may not be repeated. Water Charge Rumors False The farmers in the West have been greatly alarmed in the last few weeks by the persistent circulation of a report to the effect that the administration was preparing to make a charge for water derived from the national forests and used for irrigation and other general purposes. The report, it appears, has not the slightest basis of fact, and has been denied by officials of the forest service. People of the sections of the West where irrigation has been such an important factor in development were naturally much concerned in the rumored charge for water coming from the national forests. The people concerned with forestry and irrigation are much the same, as the steady flow of most of the irrigating streams is absolutely dependent on the preservation of the forest watersheds. In a letter to Hon. Edward T. Taylor of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, concerning the rumored charge for water for irrigation, Forester Pinchot says that he does not believe that there ever should be, or ever will be, a charge for water for irrigation. The erroneous report was founded on misrepresentations regarding the charges which electric power companies are required to pay for use and occupancy of lands in the national forests for reservoir sites, conduit rights of way, and power stations. This charge is solely for the use of the lands, based on their value Section 2. That the said pipe-line consist of one main line laid parallel with public highways and such other lines necessary to connect with pipe on property consumers. That the pipes constitute main line shall not be more than six inch diameter; that said pipe shall be of steel and shall be of sufficient strength withstand a pressure of not less than hundred pounds to the square inch and be laid with air tight joints or sleeve said pipe shall be laid at all but not less than eighteen inches below established grade of the said high that said pipes shall be laid in contact with the instructions and to the satisfaction of the supervisors of such district of the county; that all excavations for laying or repairing said pipes or any other shall be done in such a manner as not interfere with the free use of the public way by the public; that said franchise also provide that said county shall be liable for any damage to person orerty caused by or in the construction or tailing of said gas pipe-line. Section 3. That there may be traps or holes constructed along the said pipe-such intervals as is best suited to the affording access to said pipe-line for ing or the raintenance of drips; said manholes to be so capped or covered so interfere in any way with the use of safe highways for travel or traffic. Section 4. That in the event that change or improvement in said public way shall render necessary any change position of said pipe-line, the granted its successors or assigns, shall, upon written notice from said Board of Superimmediately shift or move the same their own cost and expense. That thaof constructing said pipe-line shall be manned in good faith within not more four months from the date of grant franchise, and if not so commenced said time, said franchise so granted will clared forfeited, and work thereon continuously prosecuted thereafter faith, and shall be completed within more than three years thereafter.

The erroneous report was founded on misrepresentations regarding the charges which electric power companies are required to pay for use and occupancy of lands in the national forests for reservoir sites, conduit rights of way, and power stations. This charge is solely for the use of the lands, based on their value for such purposes, and is not in any sense a charge for water. The appropriation and use of water is regulated solely by the state, and the forest service has no jurisdiction in the matter. In the case of irrigation projects, the forest service does not charge for use of lands for reservoirs and canals. Hundreds of permits have been issued by the forester to occupy and use national forest lands for irrigation reservoirs and conduits, and such permits are always granted free.
