RAILROADS.
MANY BUY STOCKS.
Reign of the Bears Has Encouraged
Small Investors to Become
Shareholders.
Increase in Number of Owners Both
Of Railroad and Industrial
at Stocks.

Railroad shareholders are increasing In
number, according to the Wall Street
Journal, which says: .
Taking nine dividend paying railroad
stocks as a basis Of comparison, 1t is
found that the number of stockholders
increased at the rate Of IA per cent
during the last three months--or If the in
crease should continue. at the rate Of
6S.4 per cent year. These nine roads,
which had $3.50 shareholders of their
dividend paying issues ninety days ago.
now have a grand total Of 9490T share
holders, with the number increasing
rapidly.
Inquiry as to the holders of industrial
issues develops the fact that they, too.
are increasing, altho the percentage Of
increase Is not so great
1.-The result Of the inquiry justifies the
statement that the supply of floating
dividend-paying stocks is being largely
reduced, and that 1t Is being taken out
of the market. The small investors have
been for three months or more quietly
taking advantage of the Wall street sit
uation, and the result in the aggregate
shows a big change of ownership Of
stocks. 1t is conservative to say that by
the end of the year there will be $4,000
more holders of dividend-paying railroad
stocks than there We're Jan. l, last, and
that the leading industrials will have
10000 more accounts on their books than
at the beginning Of the year.
while this increase in the number of
shareholders may mean little or nothing
in the way of control, 1t means additional
stability as to management, because the
small investor has selected roads notable
for their conservative management, and
ing dividends seems too remote to be
considered"

NO LABRADOR re AID
Mir. Hill Denies Stories Of New Cana
dian Line.

New York, Sept. 5.-James J. Fill de-
MES story put about Wall street to the
effect that he is planning to build rail-
road from Lake Superior thru Canada to
Hamilton Inlet, Labrador The route of
the road, as reported was many miles
north Of the Canadian Pacific.
THAT story is nonsenscal," declared
Mr.. Hill. why, I would justly lay my
self open to the charge of lunacy if
were planning any such project. The
country mentioned in the story could not
possibly support a railroad It is mostly
given over to trappers and fishermen.
II have no intention of entering on
new ventures. / am contented with my
work in the northwest and my attention
will be given to the development Of my
interests there. The constituent proper
ties Of the Northern Securities are show
up splendidly; are exceeding the most
sanguine expectations as to earnings"
Mr.. Hill has been credited with the pre-
diction that the gross earnings of the
Northern Securities roads would be about
$3.50, 200, 900.

eanaI Tonnage for August Broke All
Previous Records,

August broke the record for tonnage
passing thru the 500 canal with 5,403, S0S

To date the 500 canals have passed o.
62S,170 tons, Of freight, showing an in

ia, 900, 900 tons, with the rates Of increase
ALREADY shown 39,O00,000 will hardly be

Wabash Starts Out to Prohibit Drinking
by EMPLOYEES.

Chicago Sept. 5.-steps are being taken
by the officials of the Wabash toward
abolshing the use of intoxicating liquors
by it's employees. Recently several Of the
oldest men on the system were discharged

tobacco.
Officials state that the use Of stimu-
Iants makes the men unfit for work and
that one who Is in the habit of drink
Ing or using tobacco too freely Is unsafe
and Of little use to the company. The new
rules give the superintendent Of divisions
power to discharge any employee who uses

-: Late In Life.
New York, Sept. 5.-The Erie railroad
has issued an order calling for the resig-
nations within thirty days of all members
Of the clerical staffs Of it's various depart
ments who have reached the age of 35 and
have been in the companys employ only
since May I, 1901
In an explanation Of the order this for
NAL statement was issued:
THE Erie railroad company owes a duty
to men who have been in it's employ the
major part Of their lives and who, by
reason of their term of service, have
earned, to some extent, the right to en-
ployment. 1t IS constantly making provi-
sion for men who have grown old in the
service. 1t Is manifest injustice to all
these men to have men who have seen
their best days enter the employ Of the
company. 1t Is to protect the old en-
ployes that the order was issued"

DOLLAR WHEAT.

A mum Der of the farmers of
Franklin county, says the Valley
Spirit, have received a letter from
the American Society of Equity
asking them to hold their wheat
for a dollar a bushel and not to
sell until they getit This society
claims to have an organization in
nearly every state.
The board of directors consists
of men who are crop specialists.
There will be winter wheat spe-
ciallsts, spring wheat specialists
and specialist representing oats
and corn. These men will study
the report of local secretaries and
from them will compute what
should be an equitable minimum
price for each commodity. When
this price is determined it will be
sent to every state in the Union
at exactly the same time and no
member of the society will sell
his grain for less than the price
fixed. If the price of wheat is
fixed at 81 per bushel that will be
the least that any man will take
for his crop.
The organizers of the move
ment claim that by September,
they will have 100000 members
who will own such an amount of
grain that when held off the mar.
ket it will soon reduce the availa-
bic product that prices will boom.
Everyone has the interest OF
the farmer at heart and would be
pleased to see them get the high
est possible price for his crops,
but we believe the scheme of the
American Society of Equity will
not work. With the wheat in the
hands of the farmers, If all hold
out, it would be but few weeks
until the price went to a dollar
abushel. Then a few thousand
farmers would let go and get the
dollar, and the dumping of their
holdings on the market would
cause a slump and consequently
lhe price would drop. This would
occur five or six times during the
Year and beforeall had chance
70 let go at the one dollar mark
there would be new wheat on the
market and some farmers would
