There are scores of paying positions
in connection with all the big manu-
featuring concerns that have recently
joined the divers combinations, and
the question as to who shall fill these
under the new regime is agitating the
mind of more than one mill owner,
manager, bookkeeper or clerk. In
deed, the question is not only interest
ing those directly connected, but is en-
gaging the solicitation Of the public in
general. 1t will be much more crafty
ing to the community if present man
ayers and employees are left unmolest-
ed, but the history of great combines is
not reassuring upon this point, The
query as to whether or not the mills
and factories will be kept in operation
is one coming almost daily from men
in all the avenues of business, and the
closing of such institutions would be
looked upon as a public calamity

POLITICAL TOPICS.

HOW the IntelligenceT "Ehrew Down"
Former City Officials.
Apropos of the Republics Council
caucus of Saturday night, the ing Or
gan published this editorial in It's edi-
torial columns yesterday:
The caucus selections by he Re-
publican councilmen Saturday night
were generally satisfactory, ami insure
that the executive branches of the
municipal government will be in safe
hands for another term of twp years.
Deserving men, whose administrations
have made worthy of being 1echosen,
had their merits recognized, aid meri-
torious ones were chosen for ether of
fees. 1t is a good public policy to
keep good men in Office where the law
permits it. Experience, faihfulness
and competency is what the people de-
sire, and they will have it, as a result
of the election of a majority of coun-
Gil, which appreciates this fact"
This is respectfully referred to such
Republicans as Charles E. VsnKeuren,
Samuel Sloan, W. T. McGannon, David
Hahne and others, who wee turned
down by the ring crowd. They were
good enough men as long as they
served the bosses. Now they are not
only kicked out, but are brinded as
well.

The Feat of John Large in 1896.

After the stirring scenes of the
American Great Britain imbroglic
there came to Pittsburgh one of the
survivors of the struggle. He was
none other than John Large. He cast
about him for some venture that would
afford a livelhood-As a result Large
Whfskey was born. The first produc-
ton of it occurred on Mt. Washing
ton, now a suburb of Pittsburgh. 1t
was named "Monongahela Rye" IN
der this name it's fame for purity and
general excellence grew until it was
but a. short time before every pro-
duction of this valleys distilIeries be-,
came so known. Thus you see Large
Whiskey helped to make this valley
famous, and incidentally Wheeling
shared in the common impulse-This
city shares in it to-day, for Large
Whiskey is to a greater or less extent
the favorite hereabout. This is due to
it's purity and it's popularity To be
had in cafes, hotels, clubs, and is best
for use on buffets, sideboards, in home
closets and in sick rooms.
Appropos it is well to state that the
first still from which Large Whiskey
was produced has been preserved and
is still in the possession of the Large
Distilling Co., in Pittsburgh.

NEGOTIATIONS Progressing.
Something of the Big Deals Now on in
This Vicinity.
A COUNTER EFFORT MAY BE
MADE TO CONTROL THE Act
NA-STANDARD BELLAIRE
STEEL PLANT DEAL HANGING
FIRE = OTHER INDUSTRIAL
NOTES.

The purchase of the entire holdings
of the Aetna-Standard Iron & Steel
Co., by the American Tin Plate Co.,
as chronicled exclusively in yester-
days Register, is an event altogether
within the range of probability. There
was nothing new developed yesterday,
but this morning at 10 o'clock the di-
rectors will meet to consider the prop
osition and if looked upon favorably
the offer will be laid before the stock
holders in circular letter. Later,
signatures of stockholders expressing
a desire to sell will be secured, and
if names representing majority of
the holdings is affixed a stockholders
meeting will be called.
The offer, it is understood, includes
a lump price for all the property of
the company at Martins Ferry and
the steel plant at Mingo, and a second
proposition TO buy a majority of the
stock.
Owing to the substantial nature of
the securities reluctance to sell may be
apparent in some instances, but those
favoring the deal are confident the mi
nority will follow the lead of the
majority.
Those engineering the matter are
yet reticent about details but it is
vouched for by one concerned that the
offer submitted constitutes a reason
able premium over the 100000 capt.
tai stock, but nothing like the figure
asserted in a local paper yesterday.
The possessors of Aetna-Standard
securities have been realizing from
them handsomely and it is hardly to
be wondered at that not few are I'M
willing to sell even at the seductive
figure offered by the trust. On this
may be made by individuals to secure
a controlling interest and keep the
plant out of the big consolidation.
The sale of the Bellaire steel works
still hangs fire, but the deal may be
expected to reach climax within the
next few days, as the option expires on
February 10Th. The only thing that
prevents an acceptance of the trusts Of
fer at the meeting Saturday, it is I'M
derstood, was the standing out of a
few of the stockholders, who cannot
yet see their way clear in parting with
securities that are paying them such
handsome semi-yearly dividends. Said
one of these to a Register reporter:
Although the price offered us is, on
the face of it, more than the plant is
worth, yet in two years prosperous
business we can clear a sum exceeding
the premium now offered us and still
have the plant, a little worse for the
wear, in our possession"
Another hitch in the sale of the Bell
aire plant. however, is the insistance
of the trust people that $166 of the Of
fer of 1926 per share be taken in stock.
1t is fact, however, that the trust will
eliminate this provision as soon as all
the owners are willing to sell at the
cash lump offer.

 "This is 8 fine country, the only dra wback being too much rain. All kinds of tropical fruits grow here in abundance and of the best quality. The inhabitants as rule do not amount to much, being lazy and shift less and all on the beg. So far there have been no mines found here, but think there will be, and piacers at that. The Spaniards who came here about 400 years ago got lots of gold dust from the natives. There is every indication of gold, being plenty of red iron, and l saw some small pieces of quartz with lots of gold in it which were picked up in the mountains. would go out prospecting, but cannot get away from the office long enough.

Hard on Pima County.

WASHINGTON, Jan 3.-An important suit involving the validity of county bonds in Arizona was decided in the supreme court of the United States to- day. The case validates $2s9, ,964 worth of bonds issued by Pima county in aid of the Arizona Narrow Gauge railroad. It was based upon petition for man. damus upon the governor and other territorial officers to compel them to issue bonds in lieu of those originally issued in 1883. The supreme court of | the territory denied this petition, but the opinion of the federal supreme court, which was handed down to-day, reyerses this decision and remands the case for further proceedings in com pliance with the original petition. The opinion of the court is based upon the authority of an act of congress Of June 6, 1896.
 The original title of this case, or rather the title of the first suit to com pei recognition of the bonds, was Lewis vs. Pima county. The case was tried in all the courts of the territory resulting in judgments adverse to the plaintiff. The supreme court of the United Stated sustained the judgment of the territorial court, ont that was in 1896, before the passage of the act of June 6, further extending the pro- visions of the fanding act, Under the act of June 6, Judge Barnes, represent ing holders of the bonds living ia New York, applied to Governor Frank lin and the territorial loan commission in 1897, for an exchange of funding bonds for the Pima county bonds. The application was denied and mandamus proceedings were begun against the commission, iH whose favor a judgment was rendered by Judge Baker, and the judgment was affirmed by the terri torial supreme court.
 A strong moral as well as a legal objection was taken to the Pima county bonds. Unlike the Yavapai bonds, the Pima county bonds represented no benefit to the taxpayers of the county and it is doubtful if it was ever in- tended they should do so. They were issued under the authority of an act of the legislature about fifteen years ago for the building of railroad from Tucson to Globe. The road was begun. An old engine was obtained from a junk pile somewhere. A cheap track was laid on carelessly constructed grade and the grade was extended about three miles from Tucson in tn e general direction of Globe. An old mesquite tree stands at the end of the grade. The projectors felt that it would be too much trouble to cut the mesquite down and so continue the farce of railroad building, or else they ran the roadbed plump against the tree intending to use the tree as 8 landmark to enable them to dnd the grade in case they should be able under subse- ] quent bond issue to resume the work of construction. At any rate, the tree is still there and 50 i4 so much oI the grade that many persons mistake it for some kind of prehistoric ruins.
 In the meantime the builders obtained possession of the bonds and the litigation was all that was left to Pima county.
