Scarcely a day passes without
the daily papers recording the for
nation or incorporation of some
new trust or combination. The
latest formed or in process of for
nation includes manufacturers of
or dealers in ice, breakfast cerenls,
cars, enameled ware, tinware, whis-
ky, canned salmon, prunes, window
glass, tobacco, and many others.
A noticeable feature of many of
these is the immense capital
named in the articles of incor-
poration, in some cases as high as
S5O,OOO,OOO. There seems to be an
epidemic of these great corpora
tions, and nothing seems able to
stem the tide. One Chicago paper
facetiously observes that there are
now Just IL common commodities
not controlled by trusts. These
are cut flowers, spectacles, millin-
cry, coffee and tea, fruits (except
prunes,) vegetables, pies and cakes,
eggs, butter and cheese, poultry
and game, watches and jewelry.

COMPLAINTS ABOUT BAY VIEW
PARK

Many complaints have been made re-
Gently by residents in the vicinity of
Bay View park, near City Point, at the
mischievous acts of boys who play ball
at the park. 1t was only recently that
the park commission threw open the
park for ball playing and now the peo-
pie who live near by wish that the pub
lie playground was not so near them.
They complain that hundreds of boys
from all parts of the city congregate
there, climb garden fences, trample
down their flower beds, and steal their
vegetables. They say that many of the
boys are young rufflans who swear and
are saucy to passers-by and that so
long as policeman is near by the
youngsters are all right, but that after
the officer has gone they become law
less and reckless. The residents of
that section ask that a policeman be
stationed at the park if the boys are to
be allowed to continue playing ball
