TRAINMEN OWN STOCK.
Traction Employees Obliged to Invest
 In Road They Work For.

From the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.
 Every conductor and motorman on the Fort Wayne and Springfield Trac- tion line and all the chief officials and clerks in the offices of the company are stockholders in the organization for which they are worldng-are, in a manner, their own employers.
 In this, the Fort Wayne and Spring field Traction company is one of the roads that are different. There are per haps one or two other roads in the country governed by such rule-that employees must be, to a certain extent at least, investors in the company for which they are working.
 Wherever the plan has been worked, not to exclude the Decatur-Fort Wayne road by any means, 1t has proved both satisfactory and finan- cially success. The employees are guaranteed per cent on their in vestments and may receive more.
 It is specifically specified that they must subscribe to some sum of stock before taking employment and they may pay it out in instalments from luClI WdSCo OI III ooAnS ahO they may keep adding by arranging with the company to retain a portion of their salaries. When they leave the employ of the company. if they ever desire to, they have the privilege of withdrawing the entire amount in- vested.
 The employees find this a good way to invest their surplus earnings from the employees standpoint, and take more interest in the company, from the company's standpoint The amounts invested by the men vary in size. One ,motorman who runs regu- larly between Fort Wayne and De catur has $5500 invested in company stock and finds 1t a good investment.
 The Fort Wayne and Springfield road has another distinction in line with this investment policy, and that is that 1t is the lowest bonded road in Indiana and one of the lowest in the country. It was almost entirely financed by the stockholders them selves, most of whom are Decatur men.

is on a scale of infinitely greater imitation.
 Since its organization the Steel corpo- ration has taken meat on the skeleton and has built up to something like its par capitalization. No such chance opens for the Copper trust. In the first place. it will control only a minor percentage of the copper mines of America and 1t will be as impossible for it to control produc- ton or prices for a very long time ahead as it would be to corner the air.
 If 1t can make the pupblic believe it can work miracles, and keep up the de- ception for few months or a year, 1t may be able to accomplish the main ob- feet, which is to sell the gaseous stocks on a deluded public and realize thereby enormous unhallowed profits.
 The Standard Oil case now before the supreme court is probably the most inn portant litigatoin now before that tribu- nal Although a decision in the case need not be looked for before late spring, the coming event Is already casting its shadow before. Upon the finding of the supreme court very great interests de- pend Argument in the case will be heard March g.
 The supreme court will adjourn from May to October, and 1t is more than likely a decision will be reached before the summer recess. If the court should delay taking action until next fall, uncer- tainty as to what will be done may hang over the market as menace all through the summer months.
 The extremely favorable report of the United States Steel corpjoration came on the same day that dispatches from Wash ington were published announcing that a mistake had been made in attributing to the President an intention to stir up the corporation animals with a sharp stick. It was on that day that the rank and file of the bulls took courage and bought stocks freely in the belief that then was the time to 'get aboard. It so happened that the market, in its early bullish stages, was met with a big mass of unliquidated weak accounts. Hence the reaction. As before stated, the break was marked by heavy absorp- ton on the scale-down.
 Commission houses are by no means loaded up with securities. They are go- Ing back Into the same apron that held them at the beginning of the last bull movement. The great market leaders are taking the stuff and carrying 1t through their own banks and trust companies. In the natural order of events there should be another generous upturn between now and middle spring. Money is getting abundant again and can be had on req sonable terms, although there is need of making preparations for taking care of many large bond issues.

Advises All Deputies to Keep All Bod.
iss Of Water Open Containing Game
Fish-low stage Of Water, Owing to
Continued Orouth, Menace to Dsni-
gems Of Streams.

Cedar Rapids, Dec. 17.-The chances
for fish in Iowa waters Notwithstanding
a severe winter were never SO serious
as now, according to State Fish and
Game Warden George a. Lincoln, who
has Just forwarded a report to Govern
or Carroll announcing the discourage
ing conditions caused by the exceeding
ly low water in not only the rivers of
He has advised all his deputies to do
their utmost to keep all bodies Of water
open, which contain game fish, and has
received one communication from the
northern part Of the state announcing
that at one Of the lakes holes are being
chopped in the ice to give air to the
fish.
Conditions Never So Serious.
Mr.. Lincoln feels that conditions are
serious for the fish in the Cedar river,
as the water has never before been so
low at this season of the year. and
from the dam down to the Palisades
there are but very few deep holes in
which the fish can assemble. This be-
ing the case, with thick freezing OF
ice many of the fish will be killed, al
tho with a moderate winter they
can collect in what few moderate deep
places there are and with the ice kept
open stand good chance to survive
the winter He announces that IN this
work he is greatly aided by the people
living along the river, as many or them
chop holes in the ice to water their
stock and in this manner the fish are
furnished with air, and in special places
where the fish stay during the cold
weather. the ice is kept open by his
deputies.
Car Of Those "PIanted."
Mr. Lincoln states that in the car
load of fish placed in the Cedar above
the dam recently, there were about 400
catfish that would average about six
teen inches in length and he means to
use every effort to get plenty of air to
them during the winter. The prospects
are much better above the dam because
Of the deeper water. and for a part OF
the time at least the river is kept open
by the harvesting of ice.
Better Situation West.
Mr. Lincoln says the conditions are
more favorable in the western part OF
the state, where more and heavier rains
were received than here in the east.
The Mississippi river is between eight
and ten inches lower than it ever has
been before at the beginning of winter.
The small streams and lakes as we'll as
springs are mostly dried up entirely
and conditions are about as bad in the
Des Moines river as in the Cedar.
About the only thing that can possibly
keep the fish from suffering is a rain
fall sufficient to cause higher water.
which is not at all probable at this
season Of the year.
