FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE.

The farmers of Tlathead county
should organize an association for
their mutual advancement and pro-
lection. The fruitgrowers of the
county have such an organization and
it is proving to be extremely bene
fetal. Every fruitgrowing county in
the state has such a society, and they
in turn belong to the State HorticrI-
tural society, which meets once d
year. Although it is but few years
since the first horticultural socty
was organized a great deal has been
accomplished. Legislation has been
secured which preserves the homa
market for the home producer ny
keeping out infected and diseased
fruits. Through papers and discus
sions at the quarterly meetings
much valuable information is eA-
changed among the members.

The great Northern and Northern
roads were practically welded
in to one by the exchange of the
stocks and bonds of the two roads
between the parties owning a con-
trolling interest in both roads.
The Burlington system was fused
into the deal by the two first roads
issuing their joint bonds, which were
exchanged for Burlington stock at
the rate of 81 in bonds for 81 in
stock
The Northern Securities company
was organized with capital stock of
$500 900, 900, and it's stock was ex-
changed at the rate of $185 for 800
of Great Northern stock and $115 for
500 of Northern Pacific stock. Thus
the three roads are absolutely con-
trolled by the Northern Securities
company, and yet Mr.. Hill has he
nerve to say that these roads are to
be operated as independent lines.
1t is true that they will have sep
arate organizations and boards of dl-
rectors, but the net earnings of all
three will go into a common fund to
pay dividends on the stock of the
Northern Securities company.
When, in the face of these ad-
mitted facts, Mr.. Hill maintains that
the roads have not been to all il
tents and purposes consolidated, re
assumes that the people are fool.
frankly admit that the roads have
been practically consolidated, and
justify such action on the ground of
necessity.
In view of the fact that the North
ern Securities company was organ
lied under the laws of a state beyond
the reach of the roads, it is doubtful
If that company can be disturbed;
but the charters of the roads might be
revoked where such charters contain
clause which forbids consolidated
with other roads, although the rights
OF minority stockholders who haze
not entered the deal might defeat
such action. Mr.. Hill said that rea
sonable rates were assured, because
the shipper could go into court and
compel the roads to grant such rates
but he admitted, with a smile, that
every such effort in the past had
proven futile.
The problem will not be settled I'M
til the people demand legislation that
will be effective.

Ever since the game law as drawn

considerable controversy as to
whether the law prohibited the SELL
ing of the heads and hides of deer,

law, and which were allowed to be
shot in open seasons. 1t was held
by many that the law was in refer
ence to the meat only, while others
held that it covers all parts of the
