NORFOLK AND
WESTERN.
Mr.. Fink Confirms Reports OF
Pennsylvania Purchases.

NV YORK, April 6--President Henry
Fink, of the Norfolk and Western. today
confirmed the report that the Pennsyi-
vania had purchased considerable
amount of the compsny's common ana
preferred stock, although the total is Tar
from enough to indicate change in con-
troll. He said that he was very much
pleased with the interest taken by the
PENNSYLVANIA in the Norfolk and Western,
and thought the position of the road and
of its securities had been materially
strengthened by recent Developments.
The newly acquired interest oftbe Penn
sylyania in Norfolk and Western, said Mr'
Fink, has been with the same idea in mino
as that which 10 the past four months has
prompted large investments In Baltimore
& Ohio and c. 4 0. In none ofthese cases
have the purchases been large enough to
give the acquirer the power to dictate
policies, and and this has not been desired
Under the plan of reorganization oithe
Norfolk and Western, the common STOCK
does not have the same representation as
the preferred, and will not until septem-
Der of next year. At present the preferred
has the right to elect two-thirds of the
board of directors. For this reason the
largest part of the buying by the Pennsyl'
vania in this case has been in n. '"
preferred.
In talking about the matter today
President Fink said it was yet too early 10
indicate the retiring members OF the board
of directors and their likely successors
He added:
IL think that the interest that the
Pennsylvania has taken in the NorfoiS
and Western is the best thing that could
have happened. 1t gives us strong ally
and the fac. that so powerful corpora
ton as the Pennsylvania has direct con-
Germ in our interest increases our prestige
The talk that the Pennsylvania has made
the move to stop rate cutting is senseless
We have for number Of years had yer!
close traffic relations, and there have beer
no disputes. As for buying to checkmat'
some probable purchase by the Southern
railway. regard that also as having nj
basis. | don't think the Southern eve
strongly considered buying the Norfolk
and Western"
President Fink said that one great ad
vantage to his road Of the Pennsylvania
interest was a relief from the ultimate
necessity of e1tentions from Columbus
Ohio, to the Lakes, and from HagerstowI
north through Pennsylvania. Connections
are now made with the Pennsylvania a
both of these points. He said that thu
continued requirements of representation
by large financial interests in different
railroad properties was simply an element
of necessity growing out of the law for
bidding open agreements on rates. In hi
opinion, the small road is gradually be
coming less influential and must finally, /
present conditions continue, find it
working strength as working part

GREATER INDIAI TERRITORY.

A stockman, who unfortunately
has only one kind Of brains, said
last week: "The influx of farm
ers into this Indian country is a
mistake and a blight upon the pro-
gress of the territory, as the land
is not good for anything but graz.
ing" That this is a mistaken
view needs no sort Of demonstra.
tion. The same power that has
developed other sections will
make-is making, this country
blossom like the rose, and bring
forth fruits in great abundance.
From the land is beginning to
come the food that must supply
all human needs, and man in all
conditions of life must be nourished
by the products of the farm. The
frugal, industrious, temperate citi.
zens in the rural homes are the
anchors Of safety to society and to
the nation. The thing we want to
see is development along all the
lines OF human industry. "The
Man With the Hoe" is the most
potent factor in the civilization Of
the age, and before him the ranch.
men, and the hunter and trapper
must give way. The tide
that is now setting toward this
country is the right one, and ere
long we shall see these vast stretch
es of unbroken prairie transformed
into productive farms and home
steads. The cozy farm house, the
shady lane, the bustling village
and the throbbing, restless city
are soon to appear as the rightful
occupants OF the once wild and
woolly west"
