HILL is GIVEN A SURPRISE.
Friends unwittingly Sell Control o
Northern Pacific.


Northern Pacific.
New York, May 14.-Referring to
the recent corner in Northern Pacific,
the Herald says: The Union Pacific
interests quietly began buying this
stock through negotiations with large
holders. Great Northern stock was un-
obtainable, being very closely held by
{Mr. Hill and his friends. The con-
troll of the Burlington had passed
and the only property remaining avail
able that had any voice in the matter
was Northern Pacific. On the uprush
of prices holders of Northern Pacific,
including officers and directors of that
company, sold their stock, hoping to re.
buy it in the market at lower prices.
So far as is known only one of those
sold short, and he, holder of record
for large amount, unloaded his en-.
tire holdings and was caught short
by his wife. He admits having done the
cidc men learned the true situation
there was a fierce fight to get back the
stock and it will take some time to
ascertain which has triumphed in the
struggle for supremacy.

oil, caus'ic alkalI and water. The min
eral oil is sprayed npon the trees by
means Of pump The oil spraying is
then followed by the caustic alkalI So
luton, applied in the same manner.
The oil is intended to kill and destroy
the scale aud insects that infest the
trees-a result achieved in from three
to eight minutes. The caustic alkalI
solution serves the purpose of neutral

been attained, for without such neu-

which Is now pending is only a mock
trial, 80 TO speak, or test case.
