RAILROAD NEWS.
Great Northern to Make En-
ployes Stockholders In Road.
President Hill Issues Circular
Setting Forth Plan.
TO DOWN PREJUDICE.
Investment Company May BE
Formed to Hold Securities.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

AS the most effective step of breaking
down popular prejudice against its
methods of operation and of railroad
management generally the Great
Northern road has set out to make the
residents in the territory tributary to
its lines stockholders in the company.
A circular has been issued by Louis
Hill, president of the company, outlin-
ing a plan by which this is to be DONE
one feature of which is that it will not
be necessary for the intending pur-
chaser to pay any brokers' commission
for the purchase of any shares In winch
he may desire to invest.
This plan has been adopted, Presi-
dent Hill declares, because since the
money stringency set in many employees
and residents in the roads territory
have written for information as to how
small investments may be made In the
company'S stock. These inquiries come
from people who have had no exper-
fence with Wall street methods, and
who do not desire apparently to culti-
vate an acquaintance with that chan-
mel of doing business.
In his circular Mr.. Hill outlines the
conditions and methods attaching to
the purchase of stock. Buyers are to
be limited to 100 shares, but should
they desire more a company to be or
ganized, and to be known as the Great
Northern Employees Investment COM
pany. will endeavor to buy the securi-
ties in New York at such price as the
subscribers may name All SubScr1p-
lions for fewer than 100 shares will be
filled at the current market price of the
stock at the time they are received. A
remittance of the approximate price of
the shares to be bought is to accom-
pany the subscription, and should be
slightly more than the probable cost,
in order to allow for fluctuations in the
market price.
Employees now holding investment
certificates issued by the Great North
ern Employees Investment company
may surrender all or part of their GER
tificates and purchase Great Northern
stock with the proceeds. Contrary to
the custom, such employees will be per-
mitted to take out other investment
