Lookout mountain Is really a beauty spot In a land where scenic ftoauty abounds. And while this scenic beauty cannot be excelled anywhere on earth, Lookout mountain Is also probably the most historic eminence In the world. It bears the marks of many wars and carries on Its tablets the history of two races of people. Lookout mountain was first a hab itation of the Indians, as Indian relics (fathered on its summit and sides clear ly show. The Tennessee river got Its name from the Indians. The state of Tennessee was named after the river. In the Indiantongue the name signi fies spoon. fiStne historians contend that Indians named the river from a view they had of the stream from the point of Lookout mountain. The view from the point of Lookout fnountaln Is certainly one of the finest In America. Many people who have traveled over the world declare that there Is nothing so good lb scenic beauty In all Europe. Quite a number, of European potentates and geniuses have vlsted Lookout mountain and their verdict is unanimous that the view from Umbrella rock on the high est point of the mountain Is unex celled. Looking to the west from the point of the mountain the spectator sees a blue line of mountains of almost equal Altitude. These are Raccoon and Sand mountains In Tennessee and Alabama. Following the blue line of these moun tains to the north the vision crosses the Tennessee river, takes In Moccasin bend and enjoys Walden's ridge, the far famed spur of the Cumberlands. This mountain towers 2500 feet above the level of the sea and presents to the eye as fine a picture of mountain scenery as can well be imagined. Off to the east a low line of hills, across the valley Is seen. This line of hills In Missionary ridge, where one of the most sanguinary battles of the civil war was fought. Following this ridge to the south, monuments may be plain ly seen of a clear day on the Chlcka mauga battlefield, while away to thef east, a hundred miles on a straight line, tower the peakB of the Great Smokies, and farther still the peaks of tiie Blue Ridge mountain. If the at mospheric conditions are perfect, . the eevriet on top of Lookout mountain eatf'see into a half dozen states. It is but natural that Chattanooga should treasure Lookout mountain as a point of great Interest and one of the richest Ossets of the region. The famous battle of Istokout moun tain, known as the ' Battle Above the Clouds,” was the first skirmish in the fighting around Chattanooga In Sep tember, 1868. This battle was fought on a bench of the mountain some dis tance below the summit. The conflict raged with the greatest energy around the Cravens house. This house Is in the center of the battlefield and Is preserved today In practically Its orig inal form. Several handsome monu ments have been erected on tills field. Tile Confederates to the number of 1500 to 2500 held the position and were engaged by the federals. 10,000 strong, as the latter came around the point of the mountain from the west. During1 the battle a cloud passed over the bench of the mountain, enveloping the combatants and front this Incident the engagement lias been since known as the "Battle Above the Clouds.” No fighting took place on top of the moun tain. A detachment of Confederates occupied the summit of the mountain early In the engagement, but evacuated the point at nightfall. The next morn ing a detachment of federals ascended to the top of the mountain but the Confederates had retreated Into Geor gia. Lookout mountain Is reached from the city of Chattanooga by trolley line to St. Klmo. and from there to the tep of the mountain by the best Incline railway! In the world. This Incline is constructed on a straight line from the base to the summit and has two commodious and handsome cars drawn by two steel cables. EJleotrlc power Is used and most modern safety appliances have been installed to guard against accidents. However, in Its more than 20 years of operation this incline road has had no serious accident. There Is an electric line on top of the mountain that con veys the tourist to all points of In terest. The federal government has erected the point of Lookout mountain into s national park or reservation. The state of New York has erected In the midst of tills park a handsome monument that coat more than $100,000. Historical tablets are eonvenlenty placed, upon which the visitor may read the history of Lookout mountain in war. A bill is pending in congress authorising the building of a suitable memorial hall or lodge In Point Park, as this reservation is known In the archives of the war department and will be passed by Con gress at the next session. Lookout mountain will, of course, be a point of much Interest to the veterans when they assemble here In their twen ty-third reunion. May 27-29, and In or der to supply ample transportation fa cilities a trolley line Is being construct ed to the top of the mountain which will be completed for the reunion. This new line, with the Incline railway, will satisfactorily handle all of the traffic that the reunion brings to Chatta nooga.

TARIFF REFORM IS NOT WORRYING BIG MANUFACTURERS What They Want to Know Now Is McReynoIds’ Atti tude Toward Trusts LITTLE INTIMATION OF PROBABLE COURSE Understood ’flint He Is Not^ Entirely Satisfied With Way Standard Oil Has Complied With Court’s Dissolution Order f B j C. E. STEWART Washington, March 81.—(Special.)—The question of tariff reform has been dis counted far In advanoe by those whom It will affect. They have seen the hand writing on the wall for several years and have been making the most of the oppor tunities left them, and the slight respite they gained by the failure of the Taft ad ministration to carry out the programme It promised before It was given the reins of government. It Is no longer dreaded; the country is prepared for It. The Important thing In the Wilson administration to the "In terests” Is not so muoh what will be done with the tariff—they ore ready for the tariff dose—but what Is going to be the attitude of the administration toward the trusts. What kind of a trust buster Is Me Reynolds going to prove? Is he going to hunt In the open with a brass band ac companiment or Is he going gunning lor the trespassers on the anti-trust laws with a pair of gum shoes on. No Stranger to Interests Mr. McReynoIds is no stranger to the "interests." He took an active part in the government suit for the dissolution or the Tobacco trust and other cases, being appointed a special attorney for the gov ernment. His ability as a lawyer Is well known, but It Is not so well known jusl how active he Is going to become In probing into the affairs of the big cor porations of the United States and holding up their acts in the light of publicity wherever he may believe there Is reason for doing so. It is already hinted that he is not al together satisfied with the manner in which the Standard Oil company has con ducted Its affairs since It was ordered dissolved by the United States supreme court, and that he Is considering even now the feasibility of bringing action against them for contempt because they have not obeyed the mandates of the de cree handed down in their case. Further It Is stated that he Is inclined to reopen the Tobacco cases much for the same Seasons. The enormous advance In the price of "Standard OH" since the government won Its suit and the company was ordered dis solved and certain other alleged acts of the company have made the "dissolution of the Standard Oil" more of a joke in the public mind than an actual reality. How ever earnestly the Standard Oil officials may have been, and may be now, in at tempting to carry out the orders of the court they have failed to Impress the public with a sincerity of purpose, and it is believed that unless they can prove good faith to the new Attorney General it will be among onp of his first acts to institute contempt proceedings against them. The Tobacco Decree It is a matter of record that the new Attorney General while acting for the government in the Tobacco cases never did approve of the plan finally agreed upon by the then Attorney General Wick ersham, and the Tobacco trust. Mr. Mc Reynoids at that time and has since voiced Ills disapproval of the decree, and being sware of this fact, it is but natural that those most vitally Interested in "American Tobacco" are just a little bit ansidvs to know what ills attitude will be now since he lias assumed the respon sibility that goes with the position of chief trust buster to Uncle Sain. At any rate, it is safe to say that the acts of both the Standard Oil people and the American Tobacco people will lie kept carefully under the eye of the Attorney General, and if they want to avoid trouble It would be well for them to show a lively disposition to follow to the letter the In tent and purpose of the orders of the supreme court in their eases. So far tlie Attorney General declines to discuss these two eases. He admits, how ever, that recommendations have been made to him to bring action against both, but that he has not yet had the time to go into the matter thoroughly. The Pacific Case Mr. MeReynolds gave his full approval to the plan of dissolution agreed upon by former Attorney General SVIckergham and the Harrlman interests in the case of 1'nion Pacific, Southern Pacific and Cen tral Pacific railroads. This was one of the last acts of the former Attorney Gen eral, and It was thought that tills im portant matter involving one of the great est railroad systems of the country was finally settled, but unfortunately at tne last moment the California railroad com mission Interposed objections and obtained an injunction against the carrying out of the plan, and now the entire matter must be threshed out, or a new plan accept able to the California commission evolved. The syndicate for lire underwriting of the seciirities of the deal organized by Kuhn, Uoeb & Co. of New York expired last Saturday night, anil the officials of these several roads must again take up the task of separating their holdings in a manner that will meet the approval of the Attorney General and others interest ed with os little loss to their stockholders as possible. Left Much to Be Done Attorney General Wlcltersham wgs fair ly active during his administration of the office, and yet in the minds of many tie left much to he done. Hia suit against the beef trust was a failure, and ended In humiliating defeat for the government, which was charged to the deficiencies of the Sherman anti-trust law, under which It was brought. It is believed by others that his suit against the United States Steel corporation, now pending, will fall, and that It was unwise to begin with. Representative Stanley, who was chair man of the committee of the last Con gress which undertook an Investigation of the corporation, now has one or two bills, which are to receive the attention of the Judiciary committee, which their author believes will remedy all ihe defects of the Sherman law, and put It In the power of the government to regulate, not only the Steel corporation, but other big corporations of the country, and will place a permanent prohibition on Inter locking directories, the principal evil ac cording to our national legislators, In ths commercial life of the country. Attorney General MeReynolds has not yet Indicated what his policy will be. As a result there are many anxious big, little and middle sized trusts In the country— ••good trusts" and "bad trusts," all watt ing with faces turned Inquiringly toward the department of Justice wondering Just wliat is going to happen to them under «r “progreaalve" administration, and not knowing whether to burst Into applause, or view with alarm. “Hello!
