A GREAT RAILROAD merger.
Santa Fe, Rock Island and Frisco
Have Common Owners.
ARE TO WORK IN HARMONY.

Chicago, Mar. 3.-There is every
reason to believe that the Rock Island
purchase of the Frisco system is the
forerunner of some of the most impor
tant railroad mergers IN history.
An official OF the Santa Fe. whose
name cannot be disclosed in this con-
nection, said that he understood a COM
plete merger of Roclz-Island-Santa Fe
interests was under contemplation
with view to obtaining maintenance
of rates, harmonious operation and
elimination of projected construction
of new lines. That such a merger
would mean many millions of added
revenue to both lines is easily under
stood. 1t has developed that the
heavy buying in Santa Fe stocks sew
eral months ago was by the Moore
interests, and that the Berwynd syndi-
cate, SO called, bought heavily in Rock
Island securities about the same time
The rumor was then strong of pro-
posed merger between the two sys-
TENS, and apparently it was well
founded.
Not only was the Rock Islands pur-
chase of the Frisco system confirmed,
but it is also announced that the Rock
Island had. purchased the Central of
Georgia. The acquisition of this road,
with the 1,S45 miles of line, would give
the Frisco an outlet at the seaboard
port of Savannah through Birming-
ham, which is reached by both roads.
It is also understood that the Mexican
| Central railroad is included in the
merger scheme This road is controlled
| by the same interests that controlled
| the Frisco and known as the II. Clay
Pierce syndicate. When these ANAL
carnations are concluded the new sys-
tenn will be more comprehensive than
| anything dreamed of in railroad his
tory. A majority of the important
! ports from San Francisco to Savannah
would be tapped by the system.
No one seems to care to deny the
rumor that President Yoallum of the
| Frisco will become the head of the
new Rock Island system. Prior to
| 1883 he was traffic manager and as
sistant general manager of the San
| Antonio and Arkansas Pass road. was
| later general manager of the Gulf,
| Colorado and Santa Fe, and came to
the Frisco in 1896 rs vice president and
general manager.

G. Sending Lottery tickets.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The power of
congress to prohibit the sending of
lottery tickets from one state to anoth-
CT by other means than the mails was
passed on by the supreme court of the
United States. The question arose in
connection with two eases, in both of
which the constitutionality of the act
of congress of 1925, prohibiting the
transmission of lottery tickets from
one state to another, being challenged.
The opinion in the one ease was de-
livered by Justice Harlan and sustain
tained the validity of the law. In the
other case Justice Holmes held that
the offense alleged did not come with
in the scope of the law in question.
Both were criminal eases.

1t must be apparent to every one that
qualities of the highest order are neces-
sary to enable the best of the products of
modern commerce to attain permanently
to universal acceptance. However loudly
heralded, they may not hope for worldwide
prominence unless they meet with the
general approval, not of individuals only,
but of the many who have the happy
faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn
tug the real worth of the choicest prod
ucts. Their commentator, consequently,
becomes important to others, since to
meet the requirements of the well in
formed of all countries the method of
manufacture must be of the most per-
feet order and the combination the most
excellent of its kind. The above is true
not of food products only, but is espe-
ciaIy applicable to medicinal agents and
after nearly a quarter of a century of
growth and general use the excellent
remedy. Syrup of Figs, is everywhere
accepted. throughout the world, as the
best Of family laxatives. Its quality is
due not only to the excellence of the
combination of the laxative and carmin-
ativc principles of plants known to act
most benefcially on the system and pre-
sented in the form of a pleasant and re-
freshing liquid, but also to the method
Of manufacture Of the California Fig
Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformi-

formed druggist of reputable standing
knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel
lent laxative and is glad to sell it, at
the regular price of fifty cents per bot
tie, because 1t gives general satisfac-
lion, but one should remember that in
order to get the beneficial effects of
Syrup Of Figs it is necessary to buy the
genuine, which is sold in original pack
ages only; the name of the remedy

THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS FOR
WESTERN CANADA.

There will be thousands OF Amer
leans coming up here in the spring"
was the remark made by a farmer
from the vicinity Of Langdon. North
Dakota, when he arrived in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, the capital of Western Can
ada, few days since. He was the adj
vance guard of a large body who are
following him, and he has already in
vested in several farming sections for
himself and others and purposes to
take up his permanent abode in this
country. He went on to say: Hun
dreds are coming from my district
alone l know this to be fact for
many of them are neighbors OF mine.
The chief topic OF conversation with
the farmers is the coming immigra-
ton in the spring.
The impression general in the part
of Dakota where l live that farmers
can get from 10 to Is cents more a
bushel for wheat on the American
side of the line than on the Canadian
has not prevented people from turning
their eyes to Canada as a place to
live in. They know they can get land
in this country which is every bit as
fertile as that in Dakota at about one
quarter the price. 1t is safe to say that
the exodus from Dakota into Canada
this year will exceed the expectations
OF all Canadians"

DE BOISSIERE CASE AGAIN.

sOnaI Property, Rents, Etc.
Ottawa, Ks, Mar. 2.-Another move
in the De Boissiere Orphans home case
is made. Attorneys Troutman and
Stone, of Topeka, fled attachment pro-
ceedings against all the personal and
real property of L. C. Slime, president
of the board of trustees of the defunct
orphans home. The Kansas supreme
court recently gave the title of the
home property to the Topeka attorneys,
who had purchased the interests of the
French heirs of the late V. De Bois-
siere. Troutman and Stone claim
there is due them not less than SGT. 600
from De Boissiere's personal property
and from rents and profits on the es-
tate since 1892. Robert Stone, one of
the plaintiffs, was here and instituted
attachment and garnishment proceed
ings that cover all the property held in
the name of l.. c. Slime and in the
names of members of his family and of
his employees. Slime is a man of con-
siderable wealth. He has been in
active charge of the De Boissiere estate
since the property was willed to the
Kansas Odd Fellows in 1892. 1t is I'M
derstood the attachment proceedings

profits, as well as to secure the personal
property, will be strenuously resisted
