to the Commissioners suggesting the pro-

BURLINGTON, Ia, Oct. 18.-Artcles

capital stock of me new company is
500 ,000, 900 and It's object, as set forth
in the articles of incorporation is to &C.
qulre the Burlington system and other
roads ana to maintain railroad in the
States of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming,
South Dakota, Montana, Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
Inc corporation commenced Oct. Is,
1901, and will continue for fifty years,
with the principle place OF business in
Burlington, la. The rumor is that the
new corporation is merely the first step
to put matters in shape for the transfer
OF the property to the Morgan-Hill syn
Cicate.
According to rumors here, which
cannot be verified, this corporation will
take charge of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroad company, and the
many lnvs leased and controlled by the
company, and then transfer them alto
gether to the Morgan-Hill syndicate.
This new corporation is, legally, en-.
tirely separated from the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy railroad company.
The old company is incorporated under
the laws of the State of Illinois, while
the new one is controlled by the laws
of the State of Iowa. There is only
one change in the name of the COM
pany. The old company is a railroad

The Heron Nests High.

Heron colonies are rare enough to ex-
cite interest in their location and the pc
culiarities of the nest building of thes.
birds. They live and rear their young
year after year at the same place, unless
some catastrophe in bird life or the in
trusion of unwelcome residents cause
them to move.
There are three known heron colonies
in New England. One of them is on the
plantation just to the north of Sebec lake.
On point of land reaching out into the
pond is a growth of tall silver birches,
and there are at least one hundred nest
in the tops of those trees. The trees are
tall, without limbs for forty feet or more
from the ground. 1t is well known fact
that herons never build a nest in tree
with limbs much less than forty feet from
the earth. The nests are constructed
from small sticks. The nest is at least
two feet across.-Chicago Chronicle.
