ORDER MANY NEW ENGINES
Great Northern is to Have Big Bunch
Of Them Very Soop-New Man
Takes Quick Action.

Frank Michigan, the new vice pres
ident of the Great Northern, before he
had been in Office two weeks, tele-
graphed an order for $50 new locomo-
tives for his road. to one of the big
locomotive works of the east. The
wire said that the order was condi-
toned that delivery should be made
In ninety days. 1t was accepted.
In substance the foregoing is the
information received here in the shape
OF dispatch from Seattle, Wash,
which is appended below:
Local lumbermen have received
from officers Of the Great Northern
information to the effect that First
Vice President McGuigan of the Great
Northern. has placed an order for $50
new locomotives for his road, to be
delivered in ninety days In the opin-
lon of these lumber authorities. the
success OF McGuigan in getting q
promise OF speedy delivery of engines
enectuaily explodes the assertion SO
often made at hearings of the inter-
state commerce commission that the
locomotive worKs OF the country are
from one to two years behind in their
orders.

Of the statue.
After an impressive invocation by
Bishop Satterlee. President Roosevelt

spoke in strong voice and with great
earnestness, pausing frequently at
the outbursts of applause. AS the
president concluded his address the
flags enveloping the statue were re-
leased. and the massive bronze figure
emerged through the folds of red,
white and blue. At the same instant
the boom Of an artillery salute came
from battery Of heavy guns near by,
and the strains of The Star-Spangled
Banner came from the Marine band.
1t was an inspiring moment, and, led
by President Roosevelt, the entire as
semblage joined in cheering.

This is the most important problem
TO be solved, for if the members can
secure a reasonable advance on their
grain they can of course afford to
hold it so long as the advance is equal
to or greater than the interest paid
on the collateral loan. y
The truth is. this feature will solve
itself. The banks of the country are
DESTROYS of loaning money on collat-
eral that is reasonably safe. There
is probably no class Of personal prop
erty safer as such collateral than the
crops which have been stored in the
granaries on the farms or in the ele-
vators owned by the farmers. The
dependence of the banks upon the
farmers in the grain growing regions
is so great that they will be ready
and willing to give to the latter all
the business assistance they may need
when such assistance is based on a
substantial foundation.
1t will therefore not be necessary
for the farmers of the country to
establish banks for the carrying of
those of their number who may need
such assistance. The banks will car
ry them. Until conditions change,
they will not be injured by the COM
binations among these banks. They
make their money from the loans
which they carry. If these are based
on the crops In storage as collateral,
it is as safe as the, average collateral
secured by the bank, for whether the
security be personal or property, the
risk is always there. But the one in
which the crop is pledged is safe,
because the. collateral will always
command market and can always
be converted into cash, on a reason
ably short notice. If the society
should succeed in securing terminal
elevators. this would facilitate mat
tiers so far as loans are concerned,
for then the warehouse receipts could
be used as collateral, and the respon-
sibility Of the borrower would be
| fixed.
AS with the matter of carrying the
crops for those who must convert
them into cash so soon as they are
harvested, or before the price can be
fixed at desirable point by the farm
ers, so will many other problems
which now seem insurmountable,
solve themselves when they are APP
preached by the combined forces of
the wheat growers of the country.
The farmers are on the right road
and if persistent in their course, must
certainly win in the end.

The Htll-Morgan interests will also
make a determined effort to get con-
troll of the property. The terminal
company now has 100000 shares of
stock outstanding, 10000 being pre-
ferred and 10000 common. 1t is
stated that about 100000 shares Of
this stock, or so per cent, are in the
hands OF the Hill-Morgan interests,
for which they paid an average of $25.
The other 10000 shares are largely
held by New York parties, who have
combined for self-protection. These
minority stockholders fear that the
Hill-Morgan interests will seek to bid

than sufficient to pay the bonded and

holders with nothing but worthless
pieces Of paper as mementoes OF their

will likely result In greatly increasing

who witnessed it and caused cold chills

the close students of the game seemed
little short Of foolhardy, but in every
case the play was pulled off with pre-
clsion and reckless disregard for distance

TVS the football season of 1907 ap-
proaehes It's close devotees of the
y J gridiron sport have awakened to the
fact that this has been the most memoir
able year in the history of the collegiate
game, and henceforth those teams con-
stituting the big Five"-Yale, Harvard,
Princeton, Pennsylvania and Cornell--will
have to reckon with the Little Fellows
who, heretofore, they have been prone to
tackle with patronizing and conde
scending air. This year the Little Fellow
has arisen in his might and asserted him
self. and with his coming the stars of the
football armament have all tasted the
sting Of defeat and their ignominy knows
no bounds.
In years gone by, affairs football. were
dominated by three Universities, Yale,
Harvard and Princeton, although In real
ity, Princeton was taken In through the
kindly agencies of Yale. The annual
game between Yale and Harvard was
looked upon as the one contest of impor-
tance of the season. With the admission
of Princeton to the charmed circle an
other game was added to the seasons
schedule, but 1t was not long before John
Harvard arose in his boots and decreed
that 1t was beneath his dignity to battle
in consequence, Yale was compelled to an
nually engage in two gruelling contests,
one each with Harvard and Princeton,
while Harvard had only to reckon with
Yale, thereby concentrating all her energy
and reserve forces on this contest.
Not so many years ago Harvard con-
sented to take up The University of
Pennsylvania and after several struggles,
in which John Harvard suffered several
severe drubbings, relations were broken
or and Pennsylvania was given the nit
ten. Princeton then took up Penn, hut
for some reason the Tigers, too, discon-
tinued their football relations with the
Quakers and this left matters much MS
they were before, with Yale, Harvard and
Princeton debating terms to all the lesser
lights who annually sought games with
them.
Each year a schedule was arranged by
the triumvirate best calculated to give
them good, fast practice preparatory to
the real struggles among themselves.
Such thing as one of the smaller lights
winning a game was never given a
thought, and It was only once In life
time that one of these lighter teams sue
ceeded In scoring a touchdown; such
feat being sufficient TO send the entire
undergraduate body of the scoring team
into delirium of joy. But now all is
changed, and unless my guess goes far
wrong we will see the big teams closely
scanning their schedules In the future
with a wholesome respect for the long
despised 'lesser light"
A few years ago the heads Of the Army
and Navy Departments, recognizing that
a wave of sentiment had swept over the
entire country favoring an annual clash
on some neutral gridiron between the
teams of West Point and Annapolis. un
wound many yards of red tape and al
lowed the game to be played. Philadel-
phia, because of its geographical adyant
ages, was selected as the battle ground
and now the game between the Army
and Navy Is regarded as the most popu
lar one of the season, even ranking In
