of this firm refer to the possibility that

g., INTERESTED IN THE FIGHT
Railway Commissioners Who Met at
Charleston. s. G.. - .-------

Railroad Commissioner Staples who
has just returned from the national gath
ering of railway commissioners at
Charlestown, S. c., says that the feeling
in the convention was decidedly against
the railway merger. He says:
The interest shown at the convention in
the fight which Minnesota is making against
the Northern Securities company was most
surprising to me. 1t is all very well for SONG
to say that no person is interested in this
fight but a few. people in Minnesota but i
found the fact to be different. Members Of
state railroad commissions from all parts Of
the country were deeply interested and ex-
pressed nope that the Minnesota authors
ties might down the merger move. -
Another noteworthy fact developed at the
convention was the growing disposition of
the people Of California to shake themselves
free from railroad domination. That state now
feels it suffered deeply from tho tyranny of
the Southern Pacific. 1t is awakening to it's
true condition now as never before Mem
bers from Florida, Georgia and southeastern
states are equally Interested in this state s
fight too. They there know what it is to
suffer from railroad dictation.

WILL IMPROVE THE ERIE
Messrs. Morgan and Hill Are <Plann
Ing Extensions, 1t Is Reported.

Ihss AIAteHsAoHs, II ~ nepOrteu.
Special to The Journal. sj
Chicago, March 3.-Persons who have
been watching recent moves of James J.
Hill are of the opinion that the great
railroad inancier and builder is going to
develop the Erie system. Considerable
money has been put into the road in the
way of physical improvement but no rad
ical moves toward reaching after new
fields have been made.
Now that the supreme court has thrown
out the case attacking the legality of the
Northern Securities company Messrs.
Morgan and Hill feel relieved and it is
said that the Erie will be given first at
tention. ..t..
It is said that MI. Hill is not satisfied
with the present geographical scope Of the
Erie system. He desires to reach other
and more important terminals than are
now reached. Messrs, Morgan and Hill,
it is believed, have Joined hands with
George Gould and his Wabash system for
the purpose of effecting a combin alton
that will be able to cope with the Van
derbilt and Pennsylvania alliance. The
Wabash has already been extended to
Toledo and will soon be into Pittsburg.
The Erie may be extended to Pittsburg,
Toledo, Louisville and possibly to Peoria,
Ill. Indianapolis may also be included.

Mr.. Morgan is interested will be operated

THRoN 0LEs0N DISAPPEARS
When Last Seen He Was Here With
Money.

" men Last seen lie was Here with
Money.
Thron Oleson, a prominent real estate
man and large farm owner of Sterling,
Blue Earth county, Mimi, who was last
seen in Minneapolis on Jan. 9, is mys-
teriously missing. On that day Thomas
Hanna of Mapleton, Mimi, took dinner
with Mr.. Oleson at the St.. James hotel,
Washington and Second avenues S. Since
then nothing has been heard of or from
Mr.. Oleson.
Mr. Oleson owns several large farms in
Blue Earth Grant and Yellow Medicine
counties, and was on his way west to pur-
chase more property when he stopped in
Minneapolis and disappeared. He is
known to have had several hundred dollars
on his person and the fact that he failed
to fulfill some important engagements
causes his relatives to fear that he has
been foully dealt with. His brothers and
other relatives in Sterling have investi-
gated every clue available, but have been
unable to find any trace of the missing
man. Mr.. Oleson is described as a very
quiet conservative man, with no bad hab-
its. He is SO years of age.
