500 LINE AND TWIN CITY

The directors of the Canadian Pacific
Railway company will meet about the
middle of August to take action on the
semi -annual dividends to be paid next
October Those who are in close touch
with the company's affairs do not ex-
pect any change in the dividend on the
common. 1t is likely that if a quorum
can be secured the 500 directors will
meet about the same time and will
hold meeting to act on the semi-an-
nual dividends. Interests in Mime
apolis do not deny that they expect
an increase on the common stock. It
is intimated also that the plans which
have been under consideration to re-
tire the preferred stock may be an
nounced at the meeting Of the board
next month.
The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railways will probably an
nounce their quarterly dividends next
week. So far there has been no init
nation of change in the rate.
It was rumored yesterday in connec-
ton with the better demand for Twin
City Rapid Transit stock, that the
dividend at the next period will be
! increased. A local director says that
he does not look for any change and
does not. see why one should be made

matter.

WAT.K-LIKE ADAM DID.

No better exercise has been discovered than that
which the first man took. Adam walked.
Walking combines exercise and fresh air, both OF
which are Natures great restorers
If one is aing exercise and fresh air will do more
for him than medicine If is in good health they
will go far toward keeping him so.
Walking is the natural method of locomoon
When in the evolution of the ages man assumed an
upright position and began to walk his hind legs he
began to amount to something.
Walking is natural pleasure. Especially so at this
when there is the touch of frost and the tang Of
in the air
When one has walked brisk pace for couple of
miles he arrives at his daily work with every
ter all Jingle and the blood running naturally and
sronly enough to last the day.
Don't ride Walk.
Many a man has kept himself fit physically by this
natural exercise Afterwards he got rich rode in glass
house on wheels-and died. His friend who kept on
walking is yet earth.
What becomes a the upright position and
the of the legs the Lord has given him?
But any morning Of the year you may see business
and clerks and professional men-men tied to desk
and counter all day-wating for minutes at times for
car, unable seemingly to walk for few blocks.
Is it any wonder die in their prime?
Walk If necessary to get down by certain time,
get up earlier Walk. Keep at it. Note the results. 1t
will make a of YOU
Walk-ke Adam did in the beginning. It will make
you healthy, hearty and happy.

MUST
TRAIN DOWN

Chief of Police Waller last night
allowed Patrolman Lawson to go
out afoot on a beat, that officer
having shown to the satisfaction Of
the police board that it was i'm
possible for him to get a horse
that could carry him. Lawson
weighs 24S pounds. He wants an
animal that weighs about 1900
pounds. Some of the mounted
men rented animals from liveries,
but those establishments would
not rent to Lawson because of his
size.
Patrolmen Pike and Walker did
not show up with mounts and the
chief ordered them laid off again.
Unless they secure mounts tonight
the commission will discharge
them from further duty on the
force.
Another officer who is supposed
to do mounted duty is Casey-and
Casey wasn't around last night,
but sent word he was sick. The
announcement provoked smiles
with the other policemen, as he is
particularly DESTROYS of getting out
of doing mounted duty.

WOMAN FOUGHT A TRUST FOR ten
YEARS; SHE'S RICH AT ITS DEATH

PLATTE CENTER, Neb., Nov.
28.-This little town is the home
of the lone woman who successful
ly bucked the Nebraska grain
trust and was in at the death when
it was compelled to dissolve.
Mrs. Kate A. Kehoe, so, stout,
black gowned, courageous, owner
of two elevators, a drug store, an
implement house and one of the
handsomest homes in this section,
is enc small dealer the grain trust
could not discourage. She is on
deck yet, doing a business of not
less than 100000 year.
But she had hard fight of it.
How close she was pressed is only
now coming to light. She thanks
the loyalty of the farmers here
abouts for the victory. u.s..
Mrs. Kehoe is a widow who has
lived heer since 1888. Her hus.
hand was an accomplished BUSH
ness man, who taught her his
work before he died, and she con-
tinued it with success.
But this woman was not allowed
to conduce her business in peace.
She had to reckon with the Ne
braska grain trust. 1t began "pick-
ing on her 10 years ago. She was
warned to get into the trust. The
feminine in her made her deter
mined not to. Warnings given by
agents and in letters were ignored
and then she found she could not
get cars when she wanted them
from the Union Pacific. However,
the freight department of that
road heard from her so persistent.
ly that she was able to get some
cars, enough to keep her business
going, although it CALLED her to see
her trust competitor across the
tracks apparently getting cars
without difficulty.
The next move of the trust was
to bid up the grain at her depot,
offering about one cent higher
than the Omaha prices, which
were the ones that prevailed
Mrs. Kehoe was compelled to
have the quotations wired here to
her several times a day to keep
tab on the market, but this did not
enable her to bid ruinous prices
for grain.
For quite while she simply ex-
listed by buying what grain she
could and selling it to brokers at
points as remote as Memphis, Chi
cago and Kansas City.
The fact that she still chung to

Leo White, year younger, found
this business deal SO profitable
that they proceeded to appropriate

eager purchasers. A bicycle was
traded for a penny.
Upon being brought before
Judge Sutton on a charge of horse
stealing both boys promised
"never to do it again." and owing
to their extreme youth were re-
leased.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-11-28

the business made the trust des-
perate, and she was again be-
sought to enter the combination.
The fight had been going on for
over two years when what looked
like a knockout blow for the gritty
widow came. A fire destroyed her
storage houses with their contents
of grain. What caused this fire is
a mystery to this day.
Mrs. Kehoe's answer to this
disaster was characteristic. In a
few days the carpenters were put
ting up the framework of a new
elevator. She redoubled her at
tention to business, buying early
and late and making prompt set

For their part, they save her all
support possible. They began to
make 1t point to help down the
trust. Year in and year out she
kept up the fight, sometimes even
losing money and drawing upon
her implement business to bolster
up her grain trade. In it's AFRO
gance the trust aroused resent
ment all over the state and great
exposure Of it was made by former
agents.
Mrs. Kehoe made such Roadway
that she surprised her rivals by
patting up $4,000 elevator al

was one of the most important
