Hin Buys Spokane & Inland.

James j. Hill and associates have
bought 60 per cent of the common stock,
of the Spokane * Inland Empire sys-
tenn. The actual buyer of the stock, for
which sos a share was paid, was the
Northwest Improvement Co., the hold
ing company of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific.
The Spokane & Inland Empire system
is capitalized for $10,000,0O0 preferred
and $4,000, 900 common. Practically all
of the common is issued, while more
than half of the preferred is still in tho
treasury. The preferred has no voting
power, hence the Northwest Improve
ment Co. did not buy any of it.
According to the records of the state
railway commission at Olympia, the
Great Northern already owned $685.
$50 preferred and 81, 1877 $50 common.
This valuation evidently is on par
basis, which would mean that Hill
owned 21 900 shares of the common. Az
60 per cent of all the stock amounts to
10000 shares and Hill already owned
81 900 shares, he would have to buy
$4,000 shares to get 60 per cent. This
would make the deal, at sos a share
amount to $2,535000.
About six weeks ago the Spokane Il
Inland was negotiating for the sale OF
llS entire system TO the CnlcdHO, MIL
waukee & St. Paul. Such deal natur
ally could not be consummated without
the knowledge of Hill, and naturally,
too, it did not appeal TO him to have n
competing railroad in control of a line
in which he is interested and which com
petes with his own road in the most i'm
portant part of the Palouse country
Hence the deal whereby Hill takes con
| troll.
The Hill and Graves interests to-
gether are stated to have always held
control of the system, and in order for
the Hill interests to get full control they
needed only to acquire Graves stock.
The current report among some of the
minority stockholders is that the Hill
interests will not buy more than 60 per
cent of the stock, and some are com
planning that Graves has ''sold them
out' in disposing of his own stock with
out giving the minority holders .
chance to get in on the deal.
Hills control of this system means
that he owns the Spokane Traction Co
streetcar lines-or, rather, that his rail-
roads own this property. While Hill
never has dealt in traction property j
is not unprecedented for a railroad q
own such property-as, for instance, ths
Union Pacific in Salt Lake City.

LATE MINING NEWS.

various organizations, gradually have
become dominant in Montana, Nevada

II. Rogers, who was generally accred-
tied with being opposed to expansion

president of Amalgamated and close
associate of Standard Oil interests, has
become the most prominent figure in
the copper world. Ryan, who has been
the leader in the move to organize 9
consolidation for the control of the
copper industry, never has been able
to get the Calumet and Hecla Mining
company to come in the DEAL With tive

Railroads Reduce Grain Rates.

The Northern Pacihc has agreed to
cut grain rates, effective November J.
The state railroad commission Tuesday
made the following announcement;
GAS the result of a conference be-
tween Judge Reid of the Northern Pa,
cife Railway company and the raif-
road commission yesterday an agree
ment was reached on the wheat rate
case. The Northern Pacific petitioned
the commission for a modification of
it's order so as to make the order ap.
ply only to rates from the interior to-
Seattle and Tacoma. The complaint
challenged the reasonableness of these
particular rates and the evidence was
directed toward the rates only. As q
result of the conference the commission
modified its order, so as to read that
the old rate of 10 IA cents a hundred
rate be made Is "a cents, the II 2-3
cent rate be made IS IL cents, the IT.
cent rate be made Is cents, the 16 Ia
cent rate be made IA IA cents, the 10
cent rate be made IA cents, the Is "a
cent rate be made 13 "a cents the IS
cent rate be made 13 IA cents, the
IA 1-2-cent rate DE made 10 "a cents
the 14-cent rate be made ~ IA cents
and the 13-eent rate be made IL IL.
cents'
The order was further modified by
providing that the new rate should
take effect on November l. This ex-
tension was granted at once to en-
able the o. r. & N. 10 meet the rate
of the Northern Pacific, and as the
service rendered by it is practically ali
interstate it is necessary to publish
the rate 80 days before it can take
effect. The Northern Pacific on its
part agreed to Immediately issue ate
new tariff and have the same PM
lished, so as to have the same conforms
with the order of the commission.
The commission further provided
that the rates to points other than
Seattle and Tacoma west of the noun
tains be correspondingly reduced, but
left the detail of this to the Northern
| Pacific.
The modified order will undoubtedly
result in rates being reduced by the
different roads effective November 1,
1909.
