]. ]. Hill Proposes to End Their
Corporate Existence.
TO SIMPLIFY MANAGEMENT
Suggests to Stockholders That the
Great Northern Road Acquire Direct
Ownership Of Subsidiary Companies
In Lieu Of Present Method.

New York, Sept. 4.-The stockhold.
ers of the Great Northern Railway
company, at the annual meeting to be
held in this city on Oct. 1, will be
asked to vote on proposition that
the Great Northern shall acquire, sub:
ject to existing liens, all the proper
ties Of the subsidiary companies. In
a letter to stockholders Chairman
James j. Hill of the board of direc-
tors says the directors consider the
change desirable, as it will consoli-
date the ownership of the property
and simplify the management of the
system.
"The Great Northern Railway COM
pany now controls the various COM
panies constituting its railway system
through the ownership of their stock .
says Mr.. Hills letter. "The proposi-
tion to be submitted for your action
at the annual meeting for the purpose
of acquiring the railways and proper
ties of these subsidiary companies as
outlined in the formal notice of the
meeting sent you herewith is to sub
stitute for the present form of owner
ship of their stocks a direct owner
ship of the railways and properties
by the Great Northern Railway COM
pany."
The proposition is to wipe out the
corporate existence of the small lines
by merging them with the operating
company. Some Of these lines are
the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Mani
toba; Eastern Railway of Minnesota;
Willmar and Sioux Falls railway:
Park Rapids and Leech Lake rail.

railway; Duluth, Watertown and Pa

Leigh soon explained to her the

saying, "Your father dislikes me Sc

Father has gone over to see the

"That's asking almost too much, but

Jack took the hint, and soon baskets

The Aphrodite, as If in answer to the

"Evidently not hungry-in fact, full
to overflowing," commented Leigh.
The Aphrodite suddenly stopped and
all efforts on the part Of the skipper
and the SIX men were futile. They
drifted and drifted until it became a
serious problem. What was to be done
and who was to do it? By this time
the launch had drifted into a cove
about mile from land, and after much
discussion Leigh volunteered to swim

THE PRIVATE LETTER

The arrest in New York Of former
private stenographer of Mr.. Hartman
for selling to a newspaper a copy of an
important letter dictated to him was
made under the provisions of the penal
code of that state. In this it is ex-
pressly stated that if a person will
fully and without authority takes let
ter telegram, or private paper be-
longing to another, or a copy of the
same, and publishes the whole or any
part thereof he is guilty of misde-
meanor The stenographer, in con-
Tossing his fault said that he did not
know he was violating the law.
The incident calls renewed attention
to the usual fidelity Of the ordinary
man or woman who is trusted with in
formation Of private character. No
one who has a large correspondence is
entirely freed from the necessity of
debating to a third party letters whose
contents concern only the sender and
the receiver. Advice and suggestions
of the utmost importance are thus
made of the knowledge of a third in
dividual, and if that person proves I'M
trustworthy disastrous results may
come The danger exists in almost
every business where trade secrets
may be sold by an INSCRIPTIONS en-
ploye to the advantage of competitor
and the loss Of the employer. A stem
ographic note book or carbon copies OF
letters may easily be secreted, provided
that the desire for such action is pres
ent.
1t is to the credit Of the clerks and
of the country that so
little Of this is done. Faith and trust
are the corner stones of industry.
Where there is an occasional breach of
trust, such as that brought to light IN
the New York case cited. there are
hundreds Of thousands of instances of
absolute fidelity to employers. The
great majority Of the army Of workers
are not restrained by the provisions OF
law. They do not keep the business
secrets because it is a misdemeanor to
give them out. The New York law is
not duplicated in many Of the states
human nature. which recognizes
trust when it is imposed and responds
quickly to confidence when it is given,
even if no caution attends it. The oc-
casional offender against such natural
honesty only calls attention to the
widespread prevalence of the other and
better conception.
