CHECK TO BIG FORTUNES.
G. w. Perkins Predicts Result From
Growth of Corporations.

mot in a decade have the signs
been so propitious for a general busi-
ness revival. I see nothing that Is
discouraging The country's business
spirit has been chastened a bit by
events of the past eighteen months
or so, but withal its energies have
been quickened and strengthened.
Our industrial AMI financial organi-
zation was never finer, never more
healthy, never better prepared for it's
responsibilities.
So declared George w. Perkins,
partner of the great banking house
of J. Pierpont Mongan & Co., to a
New York paper.
Like other men of his generation
who are in the thick of the fight
every weekday in the worlds second
largest money mart, Mr.. Perkins be-
lieves the corporation question is set
tling itself through the sheer neces-
sity of its being. Also like so many
of his associates, he takes the view
that the feeling between the public
and the corporation is rapidly grow
ing better under the influence Of
publicity. He is stanch advocate of
the profit-sharing principle, and Is
the author of the practical demon
stration of that theory in the United
States Steel Corporation, otherwise
known as the steel trust. He points
to this experiment as proving at once
its practicability and value. Mr.. Per-
kins advances the nSvel suggestion
that the growth of the giant corpora
tion will eventually check the multi
plication of the great private for
tunes, which many statesmen and
economists hold are threatening the
of the people of the United
States.

STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSIONER
SNOW WRITES l.. I'll. TITCHEN-
AL REGARDING THE SEATTLE.
SPOKANE ROAD.

L. H. Titchenal, of Cashmere, was
in receipt, this week, of the follow
ing letter from State Highway Com
missioner Snow, regarding the state
road which is to traverse this coun-
ty. 1t is as follows:
Replying to your letter of April
IA, relating to the state road along
the Wenatchee river. I will say that
the last legislature established State
Road No. Z, between Seattle and the
Idaho line. This road will pass
= through Gle Elum; thence by the
Nay of 'Swauk and Peshastin creeks
to the Wenatchee valley; thence
down the Wenatchee river following
as nearly as practicable the present
established county road to the city
of Wenatchee.
Regarding right of way. no state
road will be laid out with less than
60 feet width of right of way, and
you can so state this matter to the
pCOplC The lluc. uc Ouly
changes that will be made in the To-
cation Of the present travelled road
will be at such points as we may find
that the grades are too steep. You
will see, therefore, that in a general
way the state road will follow the
present thoroughfare between the
mouth of Peshastin creek and We
natchee.
ST am glad to know that you have
been appointed good roads commits
sioner and 1 appreciate the effort you
are making to educate the people in
the right direction in the road busi-
ness. I cannot say when the survey
OF this line will be made, but prob
ably during the present year.
\ Yours very truly,
JOSEPH M. SNOW,
Highway Commissioner.

MONUMENT TO
WIRz TACKED
CHICAGO VETERANS VOTE CON-
DEMNATioN OF ACT or
SOUTHERN WOMEN.

Chicago, Aug. "A bitter protest
against the recent erection of a monu-
ment to Henry Wirz superintendent
at Andersonville prison during the
Civil war, was made yesterday at the
G. A. R. reunion at Riverside by Col.
Jasper T. Darling in an address on
"The Unwilling of the Wirz Monu-
ment."
So great was the feeling of the old
soldiers and so high did the excite
ment run when the spec h was con-
cluded that Comrade John S. Varley,
who was one of twelve men who cap
tured Wirz and from whose regiment
Wirz deserted to join the southern
army, scrambled on to the platform
and moved that every comrade pledge
himself to use all peaceable efforts to
have the monument removed, by ris-
ing.
Before he had finished talking 800
veterans and as many women were on
their feet, cheering, although muttered
remarks such as BLOW the thing up"
and Dynamite it" indicated that
some thoughts were far from peace
able.
Wirz Despised by Soldiers.
Col. Darling said in part: "Col.

asked for a united country and people,
