Lest, however, this omission be nex
supplied w the fertile imaginatiop4
of those responsible for the early tales
it is proper to say on authority that
the Vanderbilt interest" knows moth
ing OF any lease OF Chesapeake 4 Ohio
by Pennsylvania or any other road,
and is not aware Of any pending de-
velopmentsY in connection with 2
property, other than the earnings
which continue to increase. 1t may
further be said on equal authority that
the Vanderbilt interest considers
Chesapeake & Ohio still a l per e

bull pool is actively at work in the
stock and is responsible for the various

1t is estimated that the revenue
stamps required upon the stocks which
are to be transferred from the %constitu-
ent companies to the II. s. Steel Cor
porations will net the government
some $3.50. 900. Each certificate of
stock requires a twenty-five cent stamp
and two cents for every share of stock
transferred. If the transfer were three
months later this large sum would re-
main with the stockholders. as Con-

Augusta, January 1S--The legislative

work, ami the sub-committees are i'm
msrsed In figures. The apportionmenr
will be watched with interest. There
are counties which have hopes Of enlarged
representation ana counties afraid that

In this wey: The population Of the state
Is divided by l51. the number Of mem
bers Of the House. That shows the num-
Der Of people to each representative.
Then to app1rtion these among the saw
eral counties as near as may be, the popu-
Iation Of each county is divided by the
number obtained by the first division.
Thus, the population Of Maine by the
United States census is 694. 466. Divided
by Isl this gives 459J and fraction SO
small that 1t may be dlsragarded The
population of Cumbsrlan1 county is l0O,-

provides that the relative increase 10 Pop
