County Commissioner W. C. Murray

The sassafras season has arrived and
no one has been peddling tho blood'

every spring for fifty years, more or

In life's meandering some fivo or six
years ago and since that time rheiirau'
tisra has been giving him considerable
trouble, consequently he don't feel as
young as ho did fifty years ago, and it
is likely be will glvo up tho sassafras
business entirely.
Six prisoners in tho Elk county jail

the men hod planned to make a hasty
exit and another purtiully completed bag
was found under a nearby lavatory."
The season of rope jumping Is ap

8 year - old daughter of Councilman
Joseph Witman, died Monday. Last
Thursday the child with soveral com'

in what is known as "popper." The

usual, but in the afternoon she was
taken ill, and lapsed Into unconscious

It la An Old Story-It la Resurrected
Every Year.
For sometime rumors have hern cur
rent that n huge trust Is to be formed
with a capital of HiiO.imio.CHHI for the
purpose of controlling all the silk mills
of the country and freezing out nil the
small con ns. Much exeltoment has
been felt, and also wild talk and quick
jumping nt conclusion have been going
on at a lively step.
The question Is not a new one. It
has arisen periodically every now and
then since 1XHM, hut evivy time a close
tud.y of the question has revealed such
complication and sued a numlsn' of lm-
ledimclilK tbal I'lieh timn It has iM-en
given up lis Impossible to solve. Now
this last. year trmts of every dierlpt Ion
have bcenmnquito fashionable, and trust
and combine lovers have deemed the I line
for Its resurrect Ion and started the
ball rolling again. It will be like all
Impossible thinu: It will fall, to re
appear again, like the .Nortti polo
Xieilltlnns.
People at. large are stopping at noth
ing and seem to think thai, what Is
possible In a branch of trade Is possible
in all branches, but this Is a very great
mistake and bore Is the reason why.
Snme combines can be made to con
trol the staple products and also tho
oinmon necessaries of life, as wheat,
oatmeal, crackers, poultry, eggs, spir
its, bread, sugar, tobacco, etc., etc.,
which prcduets are almost always tho
same, iinu not suoject to tlio vliaugo
that styles and fashion bring every
season. sometimes meat, sausage,
milk, butter and ice can ulso bu con
trolled, although never for a very
long while. The other product of in
dustry which can most easily be con
trolled are, as everybody knows, coal,
Iron in every form, tin plate, rolled
bars, rails, nails, i tc, also manufac
tured products such a cotton yarns,
cotton cloths, ns long ns they are not
fancy, dye stuffs, matches, needles, pins,
lumber, window glass, hotllo gluss,
crockeries, brick, cemcpt, plaster,
tiles, etc.
A trust In Industrial business Is, with
a few exceptions, and especially would
bo In I lie case of a silk manufacturing
trust, a combine of a number of mfll
owners who huvo started In thn early
beginning of thn Industry In this coun
try; have made largo fortunes, but,
finding that they cannot any longer
hold their own with their old machin
ery, which has become utterly oosnlolo
in face of tho progress of new and high
sH)od machinery, and especially of the
brainy and go-uheud ways of tho now
generation of younger manufacturers,
are trying to get rid of thoir weaving
material good enough for tho junk
shop uud scrap iron and palm it olf to
good nat.ured lambs, who as ever are
ready to swallow tho pill, which, by tho
way, they will find a bitter one, when
the Insiders think thu time rlpo for
squeezing them and in Wall street run
thn prion of tho shares down to sovorul
degrees below tho freezing point. Let
tho lambs ojH'n thoir eyes and rcmonr
ber that many trusts have boforo molt
ed away like snow under a July sun,
and their securities had not evon tho
value of clean paper to wrap up limbur
ger choeso at tho grocery. Tho corduge
trust failure, which occurred not so
very long ago, ought to remind thom
of what thoy cau expect in Investing
their cash in a business they do not
know tho first word about.
But when it is a question of a com
bine in tho silk business, which entails
the Interest of so many side concerns
such as mill supplies, throwing plant.
dyeing and finishing plants, all of which
depend upon each other to run smooth
ly and thrive, I cannot hulp thinking
it is a huge joke, destined sooner or
later to full flat. In the first place, the
silk industry is according to the decreo
of fashion, subject to many changss.
One might say that every season brings
along a new class of goods, a new kind
of weave, many now designs, which, as
soon us Damu Fashion has spoken In
Paris or London, must be made here
and quick, as the retailor who does not
have thom on his shelves Is eager to
got thom as quick as possible, and at
almost any cost at the beginning of tho
season, which Is tho time when he can
reap the largest harvest of profits.
Let me tell you that at this mo
ment if a small silk manufacturer of
genius has been smart enough to pro-
nu..'..i it.. nr .i....t
has had the right information from tho
other side of tho ocean, thu retailer will 4
go to him evory timo and try and have
the control of his whole production,
especially if he does not belong to a
trust.
Trusts are not possible whoro high
novelties and fancy goods are concerned.
For the present the stylo seomB to be
for a while to wear plain goods in silk
fabrics, but how long will this state of
things last? Ladlos will soon get tired
of this and as soon as, novelties are in
demand again then tho life of the silk
trust will be ended. Nobody can con
trol artistic works, and most of silk
fabrics, whon novelty is in stylo, are
works of art, creation of brain.
Just imagine a trust trying to control
tho work of your painters and soulptora,
which adorn your museums. It would
be simply ridiculous. The very ldoa
