of the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey to $110,0O0,0OO. Mr.. Archbold
said the capitalization of the New Jer-
sey company was fixed to take over the
trust certificates and allow little mar
gin over. The capitalization was large
enough to take over all the stock of
the subsidiary companies held by own
ers, who had liquidated these trust GER
tificates.
In explanation of the modus 0perandi
of the liquidation, Mr.. Archbold said he
turned in his certificates in the trust
and received assignments of legal title
for which he secured stock in the TWEEN
ty subsidiaries. These stocks in the
subsidiaries Mr. Archbold held from
| 1892 to 1899, when he turned them into
the Standard of New Jersey, receiving
stock in the equivalent as his share
holdings in the trust.
The Prairie Oil & Gas company said
Mr.. Archbold, did not refine oil, but was
engaged in the production and trans
portation Of oil.
Mr.. Archbold declared that pipe lines

Two Sets of Apparatus.

IN order TO ride the wires they made
zw sets of apparatus modelled after the
ARRANGEMENT Of trolley. Each had in
some way secured an old knife. the blades
bf which were sharpened by rubbing them
AGAINST the bars. With these they made
the handles Of their brooms smooth, that
they might be the axles for their trolley
wheels to work on. From odd pieces or
wood they each made three trolley wheels,
the rims of which were groOved
IN order TO glide along the three signal
.vires running into the cell house. With
rope made out of a large amount of string
closely wound together, they suspended
from their axle a round seat on which

To act partially as a disguise to wear
over their striped clothing and partially
as protection from the cold. they made

For weapons they had 'billies" made out

VIEW OF TEXAS.
Ell PAso, Texas, April Is, 1908.

DEAR FRIEND PARKER,
Through the kindness of Fred L.
Cummings we have recently re-
ceived autographs from sixty-five
dear old Bradford friends all ex-
pressing the kindest wishes. For
these kind remembrances we want
to extend our sincere thanks. 1t
seems almost like being at home to
see so many familiar names before
us. Being so far away from home
(three thousand miles, and never
seeing a familiar face we have
learned to look forward eagerly y for
the Opinion and for the news that
it brings.
This is a great country, beautiful
and again-desolate. Of the city
itself-we are more than delighted
with it. Everything is as modern
and up-to-date as in any Of our
large Eastern cities. There is a
population of about $4,000 and
increasing very rapidly. The in
habitants comprise nearly every
nationality under the sun, but
chiefly Americans, Mexican, Chinese
and Jews. We have an altitude of
about $500 feet and | suppose
there is no greater health resort
in the Southwest than here as the
climate is particularly adapted for
all tubercular troubles, and people
from every direction flock here, in
the winter especially, to breathe
the dry air. 1t is a growing rail
road centre. 1t now has eight
railroads, six of which are great
trunck lines; two smelters, one of
which is the second largest silver
lead smelter in the world and en-
ploys 1000 men. There are four
large national banks and two trust
companies. The schools rank with
the best. Twenty-Five years ago
Ell Paso consisted Of nothing but
adobe huts with few hundred
Mexican inhabitants. Today it is
THE city of the Southwest with a
population of many thousand with
every prospect of being doubled in
the next few years.
Our location is ON the Rio Grande
River only about five minutes car
ride to Juareg, Mexico. This city
is famous for its great bull-hghts.
l mention this not because it is
anvth,rg to lbs credit yet it is its
sreatest attrtction. inese iigsts
are held every Sunday afternoon in
the bull ring and are witnessed by
hundreds of eager spectators-Jhe
tourists patronize this brutal sport
for its novelty, and the Mexicans
for the keen enjoyment. -Four bulls
are tortured and killed here every
Sunday and often times matador
or picador is either killed or wound
ed. We have had a most delightful
winter in every way The coolest
it has been was 81 above zero and
this only for a day or so. Almost
every day has been warm and
sunny and now we are having sum-
mer weather. The roses and flower
ing shrubs are all in bloom, and
indeed it is a glorious springtime.
The hard times which have pre-
vailed throughout the country this
winter have been felt here very |
lightly compared with other places.
The railroads have been the worse
sufferers as hundreds of men have
been laid off.
Owing to favorable inducements
which | have received here, we have
decided to remain here
another year, not returning as we
had planned in May. In many
ways this change of plans is ad-
vantageous but we shall surely
miss, home, friends and a glimpse
)f the dear old Vermont hills.
Sincerely,
The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1908-05-08
