FAT DIVIDEND BY
GREAT NORTHERN

New York, Nov. 22.-Details of the
long-looked for dividend to the Great
Northern railway company stockhold-
ers, resulting from the leasing of its
ore lands to the United States Steel
corporation, were disclosed yesterday
in circular issued at the Great
Northern Office. For every share of
Great Northern the stakeholder will
receive a share of stock of the Lake
Superior company, Limited, an unin-
corporated company in whose name
the ore lands have been held
"The beneficial inerest" will consist
of 100000 shares, which equals the
amount of the Great Northern shares.
Thus the distribution will be on a
share for share basis.
The net profits derived from the ore
properties viii be distributed at least
once annually by the trustees. Some
idea of the value of the dividend
which the Great Northern stockhold-
ers will receive may be had from the
fact that the United States Steel cor
poration is to pay the beneficiary So
cents tom for all ore mined in the
9rst year, beginning in 1907, with an
increasing 4-10 cents per ton year
for an indefinite period. The ore
lands are believed to contain not less
than 500, 100000 tons of ore.

CURRENCY SCHEME
MEETS APPROVAL
JAMES H. EcKLEs ARGUES FOR
MODERN METHOD.
WILDCAT DAYS ALL GONE
Former Comptroller of Currency Says
Law Should be Passed to Enlarge
the Business Function of National
Banks, Under Conservative Re-
strictions.

Omaha, Nov. 22.-The principal ad-
dress before the Nebraska Bankers
association was delivered yesterday
by James H. Eckles, president of the
Commercial National bank of Chicago
aid comptroller of the currency I'M
der President Cleveland. He discuss
ed the financial situation in the light
of present conditions at considerable
length, especially approving the rec
ommendation made by the committee
of financiers which recently met in
Washington. He declared that the
government method of banking it's
receipts of revenues is an irrational
method. which, If followed by the in
dividual, would spread disaster every
where and make daily business impos-
sible. 1t converts the dollar of actiy-
ity into dollar of idleness, and takes
out of the channel of trade the force
essential to the continuance of the
flow of business undertakings. AS
long as the nation takes, through force
of law, from the individual citizen
more than the government needs for
legitimate governmental purposes, it
ought, in justice to him, at least at
tempt to minimize the wrong it in
fiicts by permitting the business world
of which he is part to have the bene-
fit of daily use of the surplus revenues
which are accumulated"
He favored the commissions sugges-
ton of the enactment of a law en-
larging the note-issuing function of
the national banks by granting them
the right, under well conceived and
conservative restrictions which assure
safety to public and guard the banks
against the misuse of the power
given, to put forth promissory notes
Of small denominations w!thout spe-
cific deposit of assets to secure the
same.
THE era of wildcat money" he con-
tinued, has gone by as effectually
as has that of the irredeemable green
back fallacy, and the silver heresy.
The world of business has moved on
to more intelligent period. We can
better afford to try something seem
ingly new which research and expe-
rience prove fundamentally right than
/ to go on with measures which though
sound in a single regard are made
quate and wrong in every other re-
spect. 1t seems to me we have reach
ed point in dealing with the currency
question where we can well afford to
search and reach conclusions through
an intelligent analysis of facts as they
are and not as we either think they
are or wish they were"

1t is this class Of the service that is
now the subject of speculation. Who
will succeed to the positions after
January 1? That is the question,
and it may be the source Of doubt I'M
til after the Christmas goose has
been killed and the new resolutions
made and broken. Many of these
places, however, are of safer tenure
even than were they protected by the
aegis Of civil service, for instance
those in connection with the unIver-
sity with the normal schools. the
fish commission and various other of

the spirit of civil service reform pre-
walls over great majority of all the
