From Topeka UAP5rA1.

THE COUNTRY.
From Topeka CAPITAL.
A meeting of the representatives of
the various loan companies which
have acquired lands in western Kan
sas and eastern Colorado was held in
this city yesterday for the purpose of
completing the organization of syn
dictate which will have control of all
the lands owned by these companies
and which will take steps to induce
immigration, etc.
Since the collapse of the boom
period, and the hasty development of
the extreme western part of the state,
the several loan companies which be-
came interested in that section have
been becoming large holders of title
to land mortgages. These came into
their hands through voluntary sur
render and foreclosure of the mort
cages held. Without exception all
the companies interested in that sec
ton have given extensions and in
diligence wherever the same were de-
sired, or any effort was made by the
MORTGAGE to help himself.
The companies found themselves
individually with scattered posses
siOns and individually unwilling or
unable to expend large sums in in
duclng new immigration, or adopting
other means to dispose of the accum-
ulating lands to parties who would
cultivate them and keep up taxes and
interest charges. Various plans were
proposed by each company to over
come difficulties, but no method seem
ed feasible until the suggestion was
made that concerted action be adopt
ed This at once opened the way.
The individual settler and indivld-
ual loan company found the task toe
great for their single efforts put by
all working together, for a common
purpose, to a common end, the bur.
den would be light to each and the
/ combined effort would be irresistible
This being the unanimous opinion OIL
the interested parties, the next move
was to adopt means. Considerable
correspondence passed between rep
resentatlves of the different compan-
les and many plans were proposed
/ which on further investigation were
gradually dropped until 1t became
advisable to hold a conference of the
parties interested
1t seemed to be the opinion Of al
present that the best results could b,
obtained by the formation Of a syndi
cate company. The central company
to own or have the exclusive contro
of all lands owned by the several com
panies, and that the representation Il
the central company be based on tn
equity Of the individual company q
the syndicate lands.
This resulted in the appointment
f of a committee on organization, con
sisting Of John D. Knox, Geo. N
