FIRST Rniirond CHARTER

The first charter ever granted in this
country or probably any other For the
building Of railroad was granted III
1910 to Henry Drinker by the Pennsyl-
vania legislature for road Of That
kind from the Delaware valley to the
head waters Of the Lehigh river over
the route now occupied by the Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western rail,
road from the Water Gap to Scranton.
That was before the days Of steam,
and the ..wa agons" that were to be run
on the road were to be moved by horse
power. That old charter and the
rights 1t conveyed were purchased by
the original Delaware and Lackawan-
ma company for ST. 900. n

PUSHED ON TO G.. N.
The Billings & Northern Railroad
Now Seems Assured. #
BURLINGTON MENARE BEHIND 1T
This Is the Final Western Link Con-
meeting Three Hill
Systems. sd

President James J. Hills wish for q far
western Burlington, connection for the
Great Northern will probably be realized
before the end of the year. The an
nouncement is made that,the Billings &
Northern railroad will be. Incorporated
at Billings, Mont, May /, The incorpora-
tors are G. W. Holdredge, Judge Taylor,
II. A. Alec, G. w. Loomis and H. B. Sc
guer, all Well-RnoWn Burlington men. The
purpose of the Organization is to con-
struct, maintain and control a railroad
from Billings, Mont, to Great Falls, Mont.
1t Is understood work will be commenced
on the proposed line within short time.
The completion Of this connecting link
between the three Hill lines will give
the products Of the far western section
Of the Great Northern shorter route
TO the markets Of the southwest. The
Burlington is to be the route for the
cotton and other exports from the south
and southwest which President Hill plans
to carry across the Pacific on his big
steamers: This new line will give the
Great Northern every opportunity to share
in this trade.
MIR. Hill has long desired a connection
with the Burlington in Montana, but hts
efforts of several years ago were de-
feated by, the opposition Of the Northern
Pacific. When the Great Northern presi-
dent made his influence in Northern Pa
cific and Burlington secure he Immediate
ly planned for the connection. Then the
merger suits were started and for time
it was thought the extension would not
be built until the litigation was ended.
This waiting game would d. under or
binary circumstances, but Mr.. Hill can
see the traffic with the orient already
starting towards the north coast lines.
He believes that it will be upon the west
ern roads before their plans for taking
care of it are complete. If the Great
Northern is to figure in this traffic to as
large an extent as he desires 1t is neces-
sary to complete his plans, and the first
move necessary Is the Burlington extern
sion from Billings. @As
Not long ago the presidents of the three
systems controlled by Mr.. Hill held a
conference in st. Paul. The Burlington
extension from Billings was discussed and
the plans matured. The organization OF
the independent company is one OF the
big results of that meeting. The Burling-
ton made the survey for the proposed
route last fall and the preliminaries are
therefore finished -. -

Brokers POPULATIONS.

Brokers' Tribulations.
Nesc York Sun Special Serutoe =
Chicago, April AT different times
Fred NJ Libby has been wealthy broker
in Chicago, Boston and New York. Be-
fore that he ran big plantation down in
Mississippi. To-day he sat In Judge Nee
ly's courtroom and told how he has be-
come a poor man.
He charges 1t is all on account of con-
spiracy into which his wife and some
OF her relatives entered two years ago
to rob him of his property. He Is suing
to recover the remnants of his former
fortune, about $500 in bonds, stocks
real estate and cash.
Mr.. Libby in testifying describes how
on one occasion he took a trip to Cali
fornia, and while on the journey from
Boston he stopped off with his wife at
Minneapolis to visit his stepson. AS they
drove to the sons home in the suburbs
the broker asked his wife's son how his
affairs were progressing. He was panied
to hear that the young man found great
deal of difficulty in surviving the monthly
| rent day, and when he was alone with
Mrs. Libby he suggested that they buy
| him lot and put house on it for him
| This they arranged for at once, at an
expense OF $500, and then the wealthy
couple continued on their way to the Pa
cife coast.
! The house was in his wifes name
though the broker said that he paid the
| bills, and now the result Of that act OF
charity forms one of the pieces of prop
| erty which Broker Libby is suing to re-
cover.

Prominent CarOlinans Touch Glasses

Charleston, S. c., April 9.-The banquet
to President Roosevelt last night served
to gather together men prominent in the
affairs of the state. Over 300 specially
invited members were present. Mayor
Smith welcomed President Roosevelt to
Charleston. The presidents response
was listened to with the closest atten-
tion and interrupted by loud and continued
applause. He said:

The welfare Of any part Of this country is
in certain sense an index of the welfare OF
all, and think, gentlemen That. on the
average as we all tend to go up, it seems to
be little better to go up uniformly rather
than at sharper gait, for, the time being
and then down, and then UP again, and then
down. South Carolina seems during the last
two decades to have definitely entered upon
tho path of steady progress in things mate
riab as well as in other things. l was very
glad that in arranging for your exposition you
not ony took in the southern states, but that
you specially included the islands lying south
of the United States, those islands with which
the events of the last four years have made
it evident we are bound in the future to have
closer relations. Closer relations for our ad-
vantage can only be secured by making it for
their advantage also.
The president was followed by Gov
ernor insolvency, who prefaced his pre-
pared speech bySa few words in which he
assured the president that he was as
safe from bodily harmin South Carolina
as he was in Washington. Captain Wag-
ener, Governor Aycock of North Carolina
and others made addresses. AS the pres
ident left the room he was cheered to the
echo. Mrs Roosevelt was the guest of
honor at a reception at the St. John hotel.

FOR YEARS
Wheat Receipts at Duluth and
Minneapolis To-day. Il i
WAS 1901 CROP ovEREsTIMATED7
About IS Per Cent In Far
mers' Hands.

One car of wheat went into Duluth to-
day and seventy-four came into Mime
apolis. This is the lightest showing
made in the northwest for any one day IN
years. In view of this remarkably small
showing and also because OF the fact that
light receipts have been the rule since
January l, considerable talk has been go
ing around in the grain trade as to the
probable size of last years crop, and the
probability of the yields having been
over estimated.
Light receipts are to be expected In the
period just preceding the beginning of ac-
tive farm work, preparatory to another
crop, and all during the time of spring
seeding, but the falling off this year was
even greater than was generally expected.
From Jan. 1 the receipts to- date at
Minneapolis were 1880, $50 bushels, COM
pared with p, ICE, 260 bushels in the same
time last year. The first week in April
last year showed receipts Of 1864, OOO
bushels, while for this year the first week
in April shows receipts of 839,550 bushels.
The most conservative of the elevat or
men do not believe that the light showing
necessarily indicates that the northwest's
wheat has been entirely cleaned up. A
number of conditions have operated to
make receipts light, not the least impor-
tant of which is the comparative indepen-
dence of the farmers. The high prices OBJ
tanned for flax and general conditions OF
prosperity have put the better class OF
farmers in positions where they are in nc
pressing need of money, and what wheat
remains in the country is in strong
hands.
The quantity remaining ON the farms
elevator men generally place at from Il
to 20 per cent, the estimates of the most
prominent line elevator men ranging be-
tween these extremes. The F. H. Peavey
company, whose extensive territory gives
facilities for the most thorough investiga
| ton, has recently covered the three st ates
on this matter. f. T. Heffelinger of the
Peavey interests estimates the quantity
remaining in farmers hands in the north
west at about IS per cent.
