Union Pacific on the one hand and the
Atchison and Southern Pacific 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 admits
his company is about to pass under the
control of the Great Northern. according
to the long cherished plan of James l..
HILL
President Hill of the Great Northern,
is acting in close harmony with j. Pier
pont Morgan, who is the CHIEF factor In
the management of the Northern Pacific,
and it is for the purpose OF putting
through the big combination that the
Northern Pacific voting trust has been
dissolved.
There is to be no consolidation or leas-
ing of one property to another, for Messrs.
Hill and Morgan recognize that the laws
of certain States in the West would not
permit of such thing.
Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Hill, acting with
the Deuche Bank of Berlin, which has
always been large owner of Northern
Pacific stock, have pooled their interests
in Northern Pacific stock and have re-
Gently greatly added to their holdings of
Northern Pacific shares until they now
have majority in the great pool This
is to be turned over to the Great North
ern, giving the latter control of it's rival.
The Great Northern, it is believed, will
pay for the huge block of Northern Pa
cific stock by the issue of new Great
Northern stock or by means of new Sc
curities yet to be determined.

THE MILLS OF HENDERSON.
Enterprises That Under Splendid Management
Are Most Successful
Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Henderson. n. c., Nov. 17.-Hender-
son has great cause to be proud OF her
cotton mills. The Henderson Cotton
Mill have been big success from the
start, so much so, though only in OPP
GRAFTON now four years, the mill has
been twice enlarged and will be en-
larged again next spring by big adj
dition. It's management is perfect.
This morning while on my rounds,
visited the Harriet Cotton Mill. This
is a splendid new mill of $4,000
spindles and will be in operation by
january 1st. 1t is a magnificent two
story structure 314 X rs feet, with en-
CINE room S9x40. L don't believe there
is a better constructed mill IN the
South. and Contractor Bum may we'll
feel proud of his perfect job. The To-
cation of this splendid property is Just
off the ever helpful Seaboard Air Line
Railroad, and is all that can be desired.
The splendid cottages are all large and
airy and each lot has front of 80
feet, so there is no crowding.
The Seaboard Knitting Mills is
new enterprise that will soon rank
with any in the country. There is
plenty of capital behind it and Mr..
Aren C. Burt, the Secretary and GEN
eral Manager knows his business ana
by his cleverness | am permitted to
see Vance county cotton made into as
nice knit underwear as can be made
anywhere This new enterprise is
splendidly manned-Leon k. Strause,
president; j. p. Taylor, j. B. Owen,
| treasurer and Oren G. Burt secretary
and general manager.
Henderson as tobacco and cotton
market has no superior, and is second
to none. The weed is selling well. but
cotton is king again and there will be
large crops planted next year, and
Henderson will pay as much for either
as any market and can pay for all that
comes.

Princeton's utter weakness, it is but
necessary to say that during the seventy
minutes of play the orange and black
made only two first downs and these were
within ten minutes of the close of the
game when Princeton took temporary
brace.
The Tigers linemen were beaten back,
battered down and trampled upon in
manner that must have made the hearts
of the loyal sons of Old Nassau bleed with
sympathy.
Both teams fought desperately, but
Yale's superior strength and better phys
zeal condition enabled her to score
comparatively easy victory.
The Tigers could make no impression on
Yale's line. 1t was veritable Gibraltar.
The Princeton backs were frequntly
TIL two first downs mad by the orange
and black were the result of end runs.
One on a dash by McClave around Yale's
left end for fifteen yards and another by
Reiter around the right end for six
yards. Princeton would probably have
done much better if she had resorted to
end runs instead of line bucking.
There appeared to be considerable feel
ing between the players of the two teams
throughout the game. There were many
mixups. with the Princeton men the ag-
gressors. Captain Pell set a bad example
for his players by continually slapping
the Yale end and tackle while in the line
up. Several other of the Princeton for
wards followed the lead set by Pell and
as result the orange and black eleven
were penalized three times.
For Yale. Boomer. Chadwick, Hale,
| Stillan and Frocks did the best offensive
work. This quintet gained nearly all the
ground made by Yale during the game.
| The work of Shelton, Olcott, Brown and
Gould on the defensive was brilliant,
Mills, Losey and Wright did the best
work for Princeton Reiter, on whom
Princeton placed great hopes, failed to
| advance the ball with any degree of sue
cess, But Captain Pell was the disap-
pointment of the Princeton eleven. He
would dive into the Yale bluff inter
ference while the runner would be going
around the other side of the line. He did
not seem to be able to follow the ball.
Three times during the game Yale
| carried the ball the entire length of the
| field without once losing it, Twice she
scored touchdowDs by this means, but
! the third time she was prevented from
adding to her score by the blast of the
| Illne-KSopCf whistle.
