ABOUT A BIG RAILROAD DEAL.

ABOUT A BIG RAILROAD DEAL.
New York, Jan. 4.-The World
says: st. Paul made a new record
in Wall street yesterday 1,84l,-
900 shares being dealt in on the
stock exchange. The rumor
that the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific had obtained
control of the St. Paul road
caused the boom.
The directors and Leading
capitalists in the properties ill.,
terested we're non cOmmittal.
but the World learned that the
new deal is as good as made
with a billion dollar backing.
Hill, Morgan, Rockefeller were
the names which made Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and
st. Paul stock go up by leaps
and bounds and the highest
jumper was st. Pau.
The Great Northern, of which
James J. Hill is the master
hand, with the Northern Pacific,
J. Pierpont Morgau's road, now
controls the st. Paul system,
control of the stock being pur-
chased by means of a loan of
1913, 900, 600 placed to Mr.. Hills
credit in the Chase National
bank of New York City. This
money has been used in New
York and London stock markets
and the effect has been plainly
seen. ...-...
The Great Northern and
Northern Pacific will guarantee
future dividends on st. Paul
stock. The amount is said to
be 6 per cent for the first three
years and 2 per cent thereafter
for the balance of the lease,
which, it is said, will run tor
ninety-nine years.
The 1913, 100000 which plays
an important part in the deal
was placed to Mr.. Hills credit
by Sir William Van Horne, of
the Canadian Pacific, r. B.
Angus, a director of the Bank
of Montreal, and Lord Mount
Stephen, of Montreal. This
means that the great war be-
tween the Canadian Pacific and
the Northwestern railroads of
the United States is over, and
that the ruinous rate-cutting is
at an end. This will result in
largely increased earnings.
The st. Paul lines intersect
those of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific at many
points. The natural outlet is
Chicago, hence the st. Paul
was necessary to the other. rail
roads seeking that terminus to
preserve their traffic.
New York is believed to be
objective point, and the Erie
will in all probabilities be the
means of reaching it. The Hill
and Morgan interests control
the Erie as we'll as the st. Paul,
Northern Pacific and Great
Northern and a new transCOn-
tinental system will be formed
from these lines.

On one occasion Lord Chief Justice
Russell was at Shrewsbury on circuit

brought horse with him, decided upon
riding to Church Stretton, noted in those
parts for its big private lunatic asylum,
and then proceeding to Hereford, the
next assizes town. He stopped, however,
at hamlet outside Stretton, and, dis
mounting at the door Of the only inn, told
the landlord to attend to his horse. The
landlords method Of performing his task
did not please his lordship, who spoke
his mind freely to him. Having entered
the house, Lord Russell brusquely. us
was his wont, asked the host what he
could have to eat.
"Some bread aud cheese" was the re-
ply.

SOME CONCESSIONS.
Made by the Northern Pacific to its
Telegraph OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Hours.

St. Paul Dispatch: The conferences
between the officials Of the Northern
Pacific and the committee OF tele-
graph operators have about closed,
and it ia expected that after tomor-
row there will be need of no further
discussions.
The committee will not go back
empty handed, by any means. 1t was
ascertained today that the Northern
Pacific yesterday offered to concede
two things, one OF which was on the
question of working hours. The
company will reduce the working
hours for operators at all important
relay points from nine hours to eight
and one-half hours per day. Some
concession has also been made inpay.
The committee were notified OF the
willingness of the company to con-
cede these two pointsyesterday, and
it is expected an answer will be given
late today whether or not they will
\, gree to the conditions under which
the concessions will be put into effect.

where the Crow Wing empties into

rightly thought that it will he
money well expended, as it gives ac-
cess to the Brainerd markets to a
populous country, thereby helping
the business men OF this city greatly.
1t has been proposed to build the
bridge at Sylvan and Pillager. but
the commissioners do not consider
that this would help Hrainerd, hence
decline to assist at these locations.
There is no doubt that II a bridge is
located at this point it will bring
many of the prosperous settlers
south OF the Crow Wing to this city
to do their trading, which will bene-
fit every merchant in the city. hence
it is money we'll spent.

THIS WILLIE CHEAPER

THIS WILDE CHEAPER

The departure Of seven boilernakers
for Albuquerque, N. a., yesterday IS
an event Of some importance to railroad
men These men viii do work on the
engines heretofore burning coal, and
will put them in shape for consuming
petroleum instead. This is q move that
has been anticipated for some time by
the Santa Fe, provided the oil-burners
already in use proved to be a success
They seem to have found much favor,
and it is predicted that some day oil
will entirely supersede coal as a fuel 1or
locomotives.
The Topeka men who went west yes
terday are prepared to stay three
months or a little longer if necessary
They are to report at Albuquerque. but
their work will extend from there TO
San Francisco, and it is expected that
By the first Of April there viii be $50
more engines consuming petroleum IN
stead Of coal
This matter Of changing fuels is I'M
dertaken with the same thought in mind
as all such changes-that of economy
in the west. particularly, coal and wood
are very costly fuels and obtained many
times only after being shipped long dis
tances and handled several times by the
railroad companies. On the other hand,
oil is cbeaply handled, often near by,
and appears to be a better fuel than
coal In California petroleum is even
dust
In making the alterations by which
oil is to take the place of coal. but few
are necessary on the locomotive proper
but on the regular water tank must be
placed an oil tank with a capacity of
several hundred gallons. and the con-
struction Of this additional container for
oil is what win require most OF the
time Of the bOilermakers
Santa Fe firamen viii perhaps appre-
ciate the innovation more than any
other people. The Introduction of larger
engines and the increase of tonnage Of
trains has made their lot much harder
than formerly. With oil burners fire
men are still necessary, but they earn
their money much more easily than
when heaving coal into q fire-box. It is
said. however, that locomotives con-
suming oil become more dirty than coal
burners. and in the combustion of oil
there is a. greater quantity Of smoke re-
sulting than in that Of coal
