RAILWAY WAR ENDED
NORTHERN PACIFIC DEAL NOW
FINALLY SETTLED.
New Corporation. with Capital stock
of 4O0,OO0,O00 to Control systens
Beyond the Mississippi-Will Work
in Harmony-Enas Battle of Million,.

With the incorporation in Trenton, N:
j., of a $4OO,OOO,OOO security holding
company, the famous Northern Pacific
fight has at last come to an end. The
effect of this arrangement will be felt
in London, Paris and Berlin scarcely less
than in this country. The interests in
volved are of most unparalleled magni-
tude. The settlement means that herc-
after one harmonious power will admin
lister the wealth of three formerly indie
pendent companies, whose combined cap
ital stock is over $5OO,O0O,OOO, whose
bonded debt exceeds $3325. 600, 900, and
whose trains run over 10000 miles OF
track.
AT present the combination of railroads
which are to be acquired by the new COM
pany is confined to the Northern Pacific.
the Great Northern, and the Burlington
systems. But il further plans mature,
according to Il New York dispatch, other
railroad systems may be taken over by
the same company.
In the meantime. however. there is an
other large railroad system which is
closely interested in the arrangements
concluded. That is the Union Pacific
Company, now dominated by II. III. Har-
riman. lit was the effort on the part of
this man and his associates to protect the
interests of this road that resulted in
the disaster of last spring, and which in
turn led to the present combination.
Ihe corporation just organized, and
which is given practically supreme power
over the various systems involved, is call
ed the Northern Securities Company. The
deal is the most important in the history
of the railway world, for never have in
tercsts so enormous been brought under
one management. The formation of the
new company is the formal ending of the
rivalry which developed into the most bit
ter railroad war in the history of the
country. interests representing hundreds
of millions of dollars FLASHED in IL tinan-
cial duel which for a time threatened
grave disaster not only in this country,
but to the entire world.

While all the principal crops do not

of Europe finds nc counterpart here, the

Principal Crops of the Great West Not
All a Success.

After garnering the yield of their broad
acres the farmers of the great grain-pro-
ducing districts of the West find that the
season of 1901 is far less profitable than
was last year. The corn crop. upon
which much of the prosperity of the
farmer depends, is a failure, the govern

of but 1859. 7OO.5O0 bushels, against 3

large additional amount Of through
Business averaging seventy-five loaded

sixty-five cars a day.. BY way of Jersey
City from the Pennsylvania railroad
the New Haven company gets about ten
cars a day more than it used to, mostly
provisions and dressed beef designed for
export by way of Boston. The eXplana-
ton why this business should be haul

THE ORIGIN AND BIRTHPLACE OF
CONDENSED MILK.

1t will no doubt be Of interest to
many people to know that Torrington
was probably the locality where the
process OF evaporating or condensing
milk was first developed successfully.
Along in the fifties there came to Tor
rington middle-aged gentleman, Gail
Borden. who is said to have recently
come from Texas. He brought with
him several barrels of condensed Or ex-
traeted beef on process for the manu-
facture of which he is supposed to have
worked before coming to Torrington
The process was apparently not sue
cessful for the purpose for which it
Was intended and he IS thought to have
sunk considerable money in the expert
ments. The meat was not prepared
like our condensed beef, but was coarser
and contained more of the beef fibers.
It was packed in barrels for shipment.
The meat brought with him soon be-
came unwholesome and he gave it to
the farmers who mixed meal with it
and fed it to the pigs, purpose for
which it proved to be admirably adapt
ed as the animals showed a rapid
growth from its use. However the pro-
cess would hardly be paying venture
when turned"to such a purpose.
Soon after arriving here Mr.. Borden
began experiments on process of evap-
Grating milk, and developed a process
