sented personally and by proxy, The

The special business of the meeting
of the stockholders, mentioned in the
call for the meeting, was considered,
and 1t was the unanimous Judgment
that inasmuch as the properties of
the company are sitnated in Mon
tana, the efficient and econoEi-
cal management of the busi-
ness requires that the corporation
should exist in that Territory, and a
resolution was unanimously,,adopted,
requesting the board of directors to
concur, authorizing the president
and secretary, upon the organization
Of a corporation in Montana, of the
same name, with a capital stock of
81, 100000, divided into 100000
snares, to sell and transfer to said
corporation all of the property of the
company, receiving in payment
therefor the entire capital stock of
the Montana corporation, for the use
and benefit Of the stockholders. TIE
purport and intent is to dissolve the

property is located, and reduce the
par value Of the stock, from $25 per

A short drive from here down to the
Notch brings us TO Profile lake, near by
which are the Profile trout ponds, where
the young fish are raised. The story
goes that many years ago two Workmen,
who were engaged upon thu road,
descended to the lake To wash their
hands, and looking up caught sight OF
the famous profile that is outlined on the
granite cliff above, whose fame has
spread all over the world as the most
wonderful phenomenon Of the kind. The
face looks toward the southeast. and re-
quires no help of the imagination, as do
many of such attractions. The ey-
preston is stern aud grand, the face APP
pearing from the road about six feet in
height. The Old Man of the Noun.
tain" as he is familiarly called, looks
down upon a scene of desolation rarely
witnessed. the entire mountain TO the
right being mass of crumbling granite,
with scarcely q vcstige Of vegetation
into which the lightning of ages has
struck, slowly disintegrating the stone
that rolls down in miniature slides.
Few have had the hardihood to vent
ure out upon the great face that hangs
directly over the precipice. 4 few years
ago, however. a party assembled the
mountain and crouched near the head
during a terrible electric storm. Close
at hand. as from the southwest of the
lake, the face loses lis outline. In
structure it is formed of three distinct
and disconnected granite lodges, formed
in different yerticlc lines: one huge rock
makes up the forehead, another the chin
and third the upper lip and nose.
Although the face still preserves its pro.
file the granite easily crnmbles and will
probably before many years succumb.
Its great heights 200 feet over the
lake-alone has preserved It, as our
driver said. from the randals. who adj
vcrtised their lack of intelligence on the
boulder in the hume until the veteran
became so Scared that outraged nature

scribes a new railway improvement
which certainly has the merit Of novelty.
II is believed to he the invention Of
Mai. Bundy, the editor of the above
journal. Notwithstanding he credits its
authorship 10 a citizen of Connecticut.
The frequent attempts OF railway trains
20 pass each other on the same track
have been attended SO uniformly with
disastrous consequences, that il has be-
come 10 he the general lelef that the
feat is impossible, and that engineers
will do well to desist from further eff.
forts to accomplish it. To the ordinary
mind il seems inevitable that if two
trains approach each other on the same
track, and do not slacken their speed. a
collision must ensue. But there is a
man in Connecticut whose mind is not
ordinary. Of course, we do not mean
