NORTH COAST RAILROAD
HAS Been FINANCED

New York, Feb. 8.-The North
Coast railroad is to be built at cost
of about $35, 900 mile. including ter
minals, making the total cost more
than $40, OOO,O 900.
Preparations have been completed
for financing the project on a good
basis. New York capital is supplying
more than 80 per cent of the money.
The Union Pacific directors are
scheduled to meet today, and it is ex-
pected that an increased dividend will
be declared on common stock, proba-
bly, per cent. II
It is not true that the Union Pacific
has bought the Illinois Central, though
control has been within easy reach for
the past year.
Rumors today say the Northern Pa
cific will issue $40, 900, 600 of stock at
par to finance the Clearwater line and
lines in Washington to meet the Mil
waukee competition. There is no con-
firmation yet, the buying of Great
Northern and Northern Pacific being
a mystery, but said to be for Hill and
Morgan, entirely on account of the
great deals pending.

INSURANCE DELEGATES
PROPOSE new LAWS

Chicago, Feb. 5.-Delegates to the
national insurance convention have
embodied the results of their two days
of deilberation in set of comprehen-
sive resolutions which were subscribed
to by the committee as q whole.
Six states voted against the adep-
ton of the resolutions and twenty
three voted in the affirmative. The
state of New York, which was repre-
sented, did not vote, its delegates de-
claring that they did not care to ex-
press an opinion recommending leRis-
lative action until after the presenta-
ton Of the report of the Armstrong
committee.
The future policy of the states and
territories represented in the conven-
ton was committed to committee of
fifteen members, the power being CIV
en- to the committee, however, to en-
large its membership as it deems
proper.
This committee is to prepare a re-
port which will be submitted at a
meeting to be held at the same time
as the next meeting of the national in
surance commissioners, some time in
September in Washington.
In the resolutions adopted the sys-
tenn commonly known as the deferred
dividend plan was condemned and de-
clared to be unjust in operation. An
annual accounting of the surplus funds
in the hands of insurance companies
was indorsed and the convention de-
clared for plan for the government
of insurance companies whereby each
policy holder shall have more direct
voice in the management of the affairs
of the company.
The matter Of the investment Of the
funds belonging to the policy holders
and in the hands of the insurance com
pnaies can not, in the opinion of the
convention, be reduced to a uniform
basis and must be governed by condi-
lions.
A standard form of insurance policy
to the exclusion of all other forms, to
be adopted by state legislatures, was
declared advisable.

RECLAMATION SERVICE
AGAINST STATE CLAIM


Washington, Feb. 6.-The reply of
the reclamation service to the request
of the secretary of the interior for its
opinion in regard to the claim of the
state of Washington for $4,000 acres
of land in the Yakima valley, has been
transmitted to the secretary. The re-
ply is entirely unfavorable to the
states claim, as presented by Commits
sioner Ross.
This was not surprise, for it has
been known from the beginning that
only the attitude of the reclamation
service prevented the approval Of the
states selection.
Secretary Hitchcock has as yet ia
ken no action in regard to the reply of
the reclamation service.

FIR. LAvsON'S PLAN.
Asks Prominent Ref0rmerS to Vote
HIS insurance Proxies.


Des Moines Ia, Feb. 8.-Thomas
w. Lawson, of Boston has called on
Gov. Cummins and invited him to
serve with four other distinguished re-
formers of the United States on a COM
mittee to which he will turn over his
New York Life and Mutual Life prox-
les, and which he asks to attend the
coming annual meetings of these two
companies for the purpose Of electing
good, honest, sound business men as
directors.
Gov. Cummins replied that he
would consider the proposition, and
after conference with Gov. johnson,
of Minnesota, one of the other MEM
bers, would make definite answer.
Mr.. Lawson told Gov. Cummins
that the other members of the COM
mittee will be Gov. johnson, of Min
nesota; Senator La Toilette, of Wis
consin; Gov. Broward, of Florida, and
ex- Attorney General Monett,. of Ohio.
He said he had received large num-
Der of proxies from policy holders in
the New York and Mutual Life insur-
ance companies, which, with others
he expected to get and which he is
confident will come If the committee
plan goes through, will give him con-
troll Of both companies.

New York, Feb. 8.-'Yes, Seattle
has been selected as the city in which
the next general convention of Chris
tan endeavorers will be held" said
General Secretary Van Ogden Vogt,
of that organization, "and we expect
it to be one of the greatest meetings of
its kind ever held in this country,
both from the standpoint of numbers
present and enthusiasm for Endeavor
work.
I'VE shall make arrangements with
all the railroads in the country for re-
duced rates and in many cases special
trains will be made up in which to
carry delegates to Seattle.
Il think it fair estimate to say
that New York and the New England
states will send 10000 delegates to
the convention in special trains.
The convention will be held in the
new armory now building at Seattle,
which | understand will be one of the
most commodious and best equipped
meeting places we have enjoyed in
this country"
A meeting of the trustees of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor
was held in the Tract building yester-
day, and after two hours session Sc
at'e was unanimously selected as the
lest place to hold the next convention.
Kansas City, Los Angeles and Min
neapclls each wanted the convention
out strong arguments and recommen-
uatlons IN favor of Seattle soon caused
the friends of Minneapolis and Los
angeles to go over to Seattle, leaving
Only Kansas City fighting for place.
Then the secretary read strong
ielter from Vice President Fairbanks,
urging that Seattle be given the con-
'en'lon. The weight of his argument
was SO great that Kansas City with
new and Seattle was decided upon.
oOOd feeling prevailed all around and
10 effort will be spared to make the
seattle convention a success.
