BIG DEAL COMPLETED.

Great Northaru esid to Have Secured
Control cs the Northsra Pacific.
NEW YoRx, Nov. l9.-The Mail and
Express prints the following
Two gigantic railroad deals involving
the Northern Pacific. Great Northern
and Union Pacific on one hand. and
the Atchison aud Southern Pacific rail.
way systems on the other hand, have
just been completed and will shortly
be announced.
This statement is officially made by
one Of the highest executive officials Of
the Northern Pacific railway, who ad.
mits his company is about to pass ur.
der the control of the Great Northern.
according to the long cherished plan of
James J. Hill. ,
Mr.. Hill of the Great Northern ia
acting in close harmony wiT,- :. Pier.
pont Morgan, who is the chief factor in
the management of the Northern Pa.
oiflc, and it is for the purpose Of put
ting through the big combination that
the Northern Pacific voting trust has
been dissolved. There is t. be no con.
solidation or leasing OF ono roperty to
another, for Messrs Hill and Morgan
recognize that ,h. laws .f rr'ain
Western states would MT peru..u Of
such a thing.
Ihe Ian of Procedure.
Mr.. Morgan anu MI. Hlll, acting
with the Deutche bank Of Berlin, which
has alwaS . been large owner Of North.
ern Pacific stock, have pooled their in.
terests in Northern Pacific stock and
have recently greatly added to their
holdings OF Northern Pacific shares,
until they now have "a minority in the
great pool This is to be turned over
to the Great Northern, giving the latter
control of its rival. The Great North
ern, it is believed, will pay for this
huge block of Northern Pacific stock
by the issue Of new Great Northern
corntron stock, or by means f u new
security yet to be determined.
The dissolution Of the Northern Pa
cifio trust, which becomes effective Oh
Jan. next, instead Of year later, as
originally proposed, will permit the
distribution of tho stock Of the COM
pany as above proposed. and enable j.
J. Hill to take control of the property.
AS Hill and several of his friends
will enter the directory of the North
Pacific, some Of Mr.. Morgan's s associates
in the Northern Pacific will be elected
directors of tho Great Northern.

John Mosier In Texas.

John H. Mosier returned Friday from
a business trip through Oklahoma and
Texas. Mr.. Mosier was practically all
over Oklahoma, including the Indian
reservations to be opened up and says
that old Oklahoma Is a great country but
land is much higher than he expected
to find it. They had fine cotton and
wheat crop and with the present high
prices the banks are full Of money.
There will be few fine homesteads in
the part to be opened but there will be
at least ten applicants for every quarter.
He says that in his judgment southern
Texas presents the best business propo-
sition to be found in the United States
today The very finest Of rice lands can
be bought at from $40 to $25 an acre and
from 60 to IS bushels per acre is an av
erage crop and from $1OO to $l.25 per
bushel an average price. 1t is planted,
harvested, and threshed about the same
as wheat and oats in this country and at
about the same price, aside from the
water, which costs about $l.O0 per acre.
Three years ago what is now the best
rice land could be had for $500 per acre
and inside OF three years it will be worth
as much as the rice lands OF Louisiana
from $40 to $50. Several old rice grow
ers from Louisiana are buying large
land tracts in Texas and they claim that
the Texas rice lands are the best they
ever saw. The first rice grown in Colo
RADIO county was two years ago and this
year more than 5000 acres was raised
and in almost every instance the crop
will more than pay for the land and
pumping stations over and above the
cost OF raising, threshing and market
ing it. Mr.. Mosier spent several days
with w. ii. Low, of Atlantic, on his
ranch which is one OF the finest in the
state for it's size
He was at Galveston and through the
storm. stricken district and says that the
existing conditions are beyond the power
of man to describe. Galveston was q
beautiful city of about 35 900 people and
thoroughly up to date in the line Of
modern improvements. Fully 10000
lives we're lost and many millions of
property destroyed. Along the beach
on the south side Of the island great fine
residences were swept away and now the
only evidences of their former existence
is drifts OF debris. Large buildings
were washed from their foundations into
the streets and crashed into and over
one another as il they were tubs. The
coast country for thirty miles back is
strewn with debris and dead animals,
and the exact number of lives lost will
never be known. He says that though
the sight is one Of lifetime one does
not care to look at it second time. In
spite of the fact that the city witnessed
a similar experience on a smaller scale
