New York, Oct. 23.-Regarding the
purchase of the junior securities of the
Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville. in
which is vested the control of the
property, Newman Erb aid today:
II have control of the Chicago, Gin
cinnati and Louisville, but l don't ex-

purchaser will be, l can not yet tell"

these are not sufficiently we'll founded
to warrant my mentioning any names.
A number of roads could use the c., c.

the Chesapeake and Ohio, for instance.
The c., c. & L. would form the con

gets into that city over the c., H. & D.
and a rather cumbersome arrange
ment.
Then there is the seaboard airline.
The c., c. & L. would be of great stra-
getic advantage to it. The fourth
possible purchaser is the Canadian Pa
cific. This road has but a single large
source of coal anywhere along it's 10
600 miles and that is in the Crows
Nest region, away out in western Can.

Central, the Canadian Pacific would
have its own line directly into the Ohio

There are four possible purchasers;

Sudden strokes of fortune are rare,
and. besides. they seldom come to
those who fail to put up their light
ming rods. There is no royal way to
wealth, and the only way the average
persons can hope for that competence

and nickels and dimes now, that they
may grow to dollars when you need
them. That seems rather slow way,
to be sure. but it is the only way.
You can't any more hope to gain in
