BIG STEEL COMBINE.
Morgan u CO. Are to Unite Interests
with capitalization of
Almost ST .OOO, 100000.

New York, Feb. u. p. Morgan d
Co., private banking house which
has for years been world figure in
railway affairs, has made a bargain
with Andrew Carnegie by which his
entire steel stock holdings are taken
over and will form the basis of a gil
eantic ombination in which proper
ties with an authorized capitalizatio
of S660,000,0CO will have an interest.
With allied interests the companies
will represent a capital of nearly
ST 1000, 100000 Included in this trust
will be the following companies:
The Carnegie company, wi*l its 1926, O0o :
coo of authorized capitalization.
The Federal Steel company, with it's $780,
1000 of authorized capitalization.
The American Steel & Wire company,
capitalized at 800, 600, 900, now controlled by
John w. Gates and his Chicago associates
The National Steel company capitalized
at 100000 OO one of the four big steel prop
critics which were promoted by William
Moore, of Chicago
In addition to these concerns there
are several others with joint author
lied capitalization of 1925, 200, 900 which
are so closely affiliated with the afore-
said trust that they can be relied upon
to cooperate with it tremendously,
even if they do not actually enter the
trust itself. These are:
The American Bridge company. with an
authorized capitalization Of $40. 600 600.
The National Tube company, with $780,
100000 of capitalization.
The American Sheet Steel company, $52,-
100000
The American Tinplate company, $780,
100000.
The American Steel Hoop company, $685. :
100000.
From the office in the Drexe. building
at Wall and William streets, where j.
P Morgan & Co. are domiciled, the
policy of the steel trade of this country
may be dictated virtually without let
or hindrance. Whether one gigantic
corporation be formed as result of
the transfer to the interests allied with
this form of the little Scotchman's
stock or whether it simply be a trust
of many companies, the wires that con-
troll its move ment will be il j. P. Nor
gan's grasp.

CHAUTAUQUA.
Rev. Price Writes Graphically Of
this Celebrated Region.

w nat WOru! w nat place!
What an idea!
The word Chautauqua is said to
be an old Indian word, and means
"the bag tied in the middle" 1t
is the name of a lake IN the ex-
treme Western part of New York
State. The lake is about twenty
miles long and an average width
of three miles; but in the center
of the lake there is a contraction
to one-fourth of a mile and twist
which makes it look very much
like "a bag tied in the middle"
The place is wonderful and cnar
ming, 1t is distant from Lake
Erie only eight miles, yet it is ST.
feet higher than Lake Erie. 1t is
1850 feet above the level of the sea
1150 feet higher than Saratoga, |,
300 feet higher than Lake Cham
plain, and 1900 feet higher than
Lake George. In fact it is the
highest navigable lake in the Uni
ted States except Lake Tahoe, in
California.
The landscape is beautiful; the
I Lake glinting in the sunlight and
ripping to the breeze is untiring
to the eye. The gently undulat-
ing hills are beautifully variegated
with farGl and forest. The atmos-
phere is tonic. Hence Chautau-
qua, with its delightful calm, its
restful landscape, its majestic for
ests, its bracing air, its natural re-
pose, its sweet quistude, is an ideal
summer resort.
1t is a city in the midst of for
est. IT has magnificent hotels and
halls, and school buildings, and
several hundred beautiful cottages
many of them four stories high
and capable of accommodating
from fifty to hundred boarders,
and yet all these buildings are in
the midst of forest Tall trees
of beech, maple, chestnut, hem
lock, linden and hickory jut right
up against the houses and line the
streets and fill every vacancy. 1t
is a university as well, 1t has nu
merous school and college build
ings and probably forty courses of
study are now in active operation.
You can get any course you want,
from cooking and farming up to
astronomy and Greek. 1t is also a
clearly place. The sanitary con-
ditions are excellent. Wire bask-
cts line the grounds and you are
requested to put all refuse in the
baskets.
Nothing intoxicating lis allowed
to be sold in the assembly grounds
No dancing halls or gaming tables
are permitted.
They have a variety of amuse-
ments for the young people, but
they are all under the direction of
Christian'men and women. A high
class of people attend Chautauqua
of culture and refine.
ment. The people are sociable
and mutually helpful. Over 42,OO0l
visited Chautauqua last year and
there were 270O pupils in the vari-
Gus schools.
l will write of the "Chautau-
qua Idea" next time.
