A Chicago report discusses Standard Oil’s 1463 convictions on 1903 counts for rebates via the Chicago & Alton railroad, seeking near maximum fines under Elkins law. It argues large penalties would deter rebating and make violations unprofitable, while noting court action may face challenges from defense claims of persecution. The piece also cites an Olympian brief on a Seattle tax foreclosure suit about a quiet title claim and statute of limitations.

State Highway Commissioner J M Snow says about forty convicts will labor on road No 12 from Pateros to the British Columbia boundary. The plan aims to cut costs by using convict labor, with maintenance expected at 60 cents a day on the road versus 32 cents in prison, while delivering potential $2.00 daily value to the government. This marks the first use of convict labor on public highways in the state and follows a prior experiment with a rock crusher producing crushed rock at about 37 cents per cubic yard, half the open-market price.
