PREFERRED RETIRED, ANYWAY
Some Confirmation of the Report of
HilFs Coup.

Special to The Journal.
New York. Nov. 26.-It is stated on good
authority that neither Hill nor Hartman
has any present intention of resigning his
directorate in the Northern Pacific. They
have been informed by counsel, it is said,
that such resignation would be regarded
as mere subterfuge by the state authori-
ties in the west who are antagonistic to
the Northern Securities company and
would be considered an evidence OF weak
ness.
In the meantime the details of the deal
are being gradually perfected. 1t is said
if the Northern Securities company were
knocked out, its dissolution could not af-
feet the status of the deal by which the
Northern Pacific preferred was retired.

HOW ABOUT DIVIDENDS.

capitalization of the Company Calls
for Fancy Earnings.
Special to The Journal.
New York, Nov. 26.-The Northern
Securities company faces two problems.
The first is whether the corporation can
stand the test Of legal inquiry under the
supreme court decisions which seem to
afford strong evidence against the legality
of the company. The decision, however,
has been considered by the counsel, and
there are distinctions which they think es-
sential. The attitude of the governors OF
northwestern states indicates, however,
the issue raised.
The second problem Asswhether the COM
pany has not been capitalized so high as
to endanger the stability of stock.
1t is clear that the earnings Of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern, as
reported last year and without extraor
binary allowances for maintenance and
betterment, should provide only about 4
per cent on the Securities stock Better
earnings this year make somewhat bet
ter showing. but it is question whether
the stock will stay at 110 or 4 per cent
dividends with substantial margin of
safety or at that price with per cent
dividends and small margin OF safety.
1t is supposed the growth of the traffic
will increase the dividend fund.
Depressed on the Curb.
Northern Securities company stock
dealt in when issued" declined on the
curb yesterday to 1O8% compared with
11O when the company was launched.
There has been a fall in Great Northern
to 1913, or more than eight points, since it
became known that the shares of that
company will be taken over by the North
| ern Securities company on the basis of
18O shares for each 100 of the new com
pany.

SOUTH DAKOTA NOT WORRIED
Hills Combine Not as Yet Effective
in That State.

Special to The Journal.
Pierre, S. D.. Nov. 26.-The matter OF
the consolidation Of northwestern roads
has but little effect upon South Dakota,
for the reason that the only roads eff
fected cannot be competitive in this state,
one branch operating along the east line
of the state. while the other is in the
extreme southwest corner. So far as
consolidation Of competing lines is con-
cerned it is prohibited in the state by the
provisions of section IA, of article II OF
the constitution. While the constitution
prohibits such consolidation, the old ter
ritorial statutes not only allowed it, but
specifically provided for 1t, with the only
restriction that the stock of the combined
organizations should not exceed the total
amount Of capital Of the several organiza-
tions before consolidation.

DIVIDENDS ARE A BIG PROBLEM
Financiers Wondering How Securi-
ties Stock Cam Do Better Than
Four Per Cent.

Attorney General w. B. Douglas was in
consultation with Governor Van SAINT
nearly three hours this morning The lat
ter part Of the time was taken up with
the case of Sheriff Megaarden, but for
about two hours the matter Of the North
ern Securities company and the attempted
railway consolidation was discussed.
On leaving the governor, Mr.. Douglas
inttmated that he would take some ac-
tion within a few days, but not until he
had made a thorough examination of the
question. He does not have much faith
in the efficacy Of the state laws to cover
the case, and will probably bring his ac-
ton in the United States court.
There is no way to reach the Northern
Securities company in our state courts,
said the attorney general. "The COM
pany is organized under the laws Of New
Jersey. 1t is not admitted to the state,
will do no business here, and has no agent
here.

our Minnesota corporations. I shall take

Official Paper of Gila County,

The term of the United States dis trict court which has just closed em- phasizes more sharply than ever the mistake of holding its sessions at Flor euce. Every case brought before the court originated in Globe, and almost all the witnesses, and many of the iu- TOTS, to the number of over one hun dred, were from Gila and Graham counties, having had to travel either seventy-tiv miles or more over mountainous road, or if by rail nearly three hundred miles, to attend court, which Is not only needless hardship upon citizens, but an unwarranted ex- pense to the federal government. Globe as the center of the judicial dis trict, by reason of every consideration of convenience and economy, should have the United States court, and II the judge longer refuses the reasonable request of the people of the district for a removal of the court to Globe, then petition setting forth the true situation should be forwarded to the department of justice at Washington.

PROSPEROUS GLOBE.

There Is no other community that has greater reason to be thankful today than that of Globe The year now drawing to close has been one of m exampled growth and prosperity for the town and district, which promises to continue unabsted, Several hun ared thousand dollars have been in- vested iu copper properties in this dis trict since the first of January last, and very much more in development work and improvements of substan- tial character. The producing mines have increased their output of copper, and the developments in several of the newer properties are of such an en' eouraging character that beyond req sonable doubt several of them will be added to ,he producing list during the coming year.
 The most important development has been the discovery of sulphide ores in the lower workings of the Old Domin- ion, which are of considerable magni- tude, insuring not only life to that mine, but proving the permanency of the ore deposits in Globe district. Sul' phide ores are being encountered in adjacent properties, and also in the western portion of the district, about Mineral and Pinto creeks, which has given confidence to mine operators that has stimulated deep development, and is attracting the attention of mine investors from every part ot the coun- try.
 A greater number of men are now employed in mining in Globe district than ever before, at better average wages than in almost any other mining camp in the west, and next year will almost certainly witness an increased demand for labor of all kinds. Mer- chandizing has grown wonderfully, and every line of business, aud every trade, is active and profitable.
 Globe is possessed of an unsurpassed climate, which admits of all kinds of work being carried on uninterruptedly the entire year, and insures exemption from physical suffering and diseases common in less favored sections of the country.
 Truly, we have much to be thankful for, and the future is bright with prom faa

NATIONAL IRRIGATION

It begins to look as though some thing may be accomplished during the approaching session of congress initia- tory to the reclamation of the arid lands through a patlonal system of ir- rigation. The persistent agitation of the question by national conventions, in congress, and through the press, IS bearing fruit. The sentiment iu the states and territories west of the Mis- sissippi Is unanimous in favor of na- tional aid to the reclamation of the arid west, and in many of the middle and southern states opposition is being eeaduslly overcome. Probably noth- ing has been of greater value in edu- eating public sentiment east of the Missippi to the advantages of national irrigation than the investigations of the geological survey, which show not only the practicability of, but the very great advantages which would accrue from comprehensive system of irri-

SPECIAL REPORT OF THE [. $
 GRAND JURY.

We publish elsewhere the special re. port of the U. $. grand jury, sd- dressed to Judge Dosn, with the re- quest that a certified copy be forward ed to the secretary of the interior, which sets forth the evil results of per hitting the Indians from San Carlos to leave the reservation m large numbers, to remain in this vicinity, where they procure whiskey, menace the peace of the community, and largely increase the federal court expenses through the prosecutions growing out of the illegal traffic, The protest Is timely and the language temperate, and it Is to be, hoped will be favorably considered by the department. The report IS iu line with the suggestion made to the mass meeting here by MT. Stoneman, which had it been followed, the protest s. that time might havs received some consideration, but unfortunately, the action of the mass meeting was such AS to prejudice the case and arouse oppo. sition on the part of the government.
 The avowed polisy of the govern ment to reduce the rations of the In. dians and make them sslf.snppoitIug can never be successfully carried out while the large reservations are re. tained intact The Indians must first be allotted lands in soyeralty, and the large areas not required for their sup port thrown open to settlement. But the Indian question is one which will take long time to settle satisfactorily, and moderation and patience lsrequired of the citizens living contiguous to the Indian as the best course to pursue to attain that end.

gation works, that would reclaim mill ions of acres of fertile lands in the west, relieve the congested condition of eastern centers of population, and re- dound to the industrial progress of the eastern states, as well as of the west.
 The favorable attitude of the admin !stration to the irrigation project is one of the most encouraging indica- tions. President Roosevelt, being ia miiar with conditions in the arid west, appreciates the necessity of national aid to its reclamation, and will, 1t Is said, give the subject attention in his forthcoming message to congress, Sec retary Hitchcock, of the interior de- pertinent, in his annual report, speaks strongly in favor of national irrigation He says
 ''rhe investigations which have been carried on demonstrate that there Is one question now before the people of the United States of greater importance than the conservation of the water sup ply, and that is the reclamation of the arid lands of the west and their settle ment by men who actually build homes and create communities.
 He recommends that construction at once be begun as follows: The San Carlos storage reservoir in Arizona, re- claiming hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands, at an estimated cost of Si ,040. 900 ; reservoirs in the Sierra Nevadas, in California, for re- claiming desert lands in Nevada the diversion of St, Mary river into the headwaters of the Milk river, in Mon tana. An appropriation of s250, 900 Is asked to carry on the hydraulic work of the geological survey.

Dear Mr.. Editor:

Natural Bridge, Va, March Is,
Dear Mr. Editor:
Knowing the nerest you take in the
matter | shall refer to, l take the liberty
Of writing your paper. Il has been my
wish for q long timo to see camp OF
Sons of Confedera Veterans organized
n tais county, and I sincerely hope
there are others who jim me in this,
think, very laudable undertaking.
Surely no portion of the South has a
more sacred trust than we have, for to
our care is entrusted the last resting
pace of some OF the greatest soldiers
The world ever saw, as we'll as the be-
loved leaders our fathers followed
through suffering and privations we
hardly realize.
A great many OF our fathers have
passed away, and those that are left are
year by year becoming more feeble,
and If there is ever anything of this
kind to be done, now is the best time,
in my opinion, to do it. am sure it
would be gratifying to many of the old
soldiers to know the younger genera
ton think of them, and as it will
bring the young men of the county to-
gether, I earnestly hope to see some
thing done in the matter. I am sure
there are young men whose fathers
were comrades who do not know each
other when they meet, and the writer,
for one, does not think this should be
the case in 50 small place as our
county.
I would be glad to hear others ex-
press themselves through your paper,
and, If il can be done, some steps taken
at an early dats for some kind of an or
ganization, In conclusion 1 would ask |
your kind assistance, Mr.. Editor, in |
helping start the work.
Hoping others may be ready to help |
me, L remain, sincerely,
A SoN.
We heartily endorse the formation
eli camp OF Sons OF Veterans IN this
county. We thank our correspondent
Tor his letter calling attention to the
subject. Tue columns OF TIE GAzErTH

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies,
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucuous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroy ed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mu-
cuous surfaces.
