Increased. It simply marks the disap- pearance of the Gould fortune as a power in the financial world.
 The story of this war had its be- ginning in the early eighties, when old Jay Gould was the most power lui' as well as the most feared man m Wall Street. His particular hobby was the securing of control of various ralifoad properties. which he would proceed 10 wreck and then dispose of lie had great faith in the possibilities or the West and Southwest and many Wall street tinaneier looked on his properties in that section with a ooVetoas eye. But they knew better .nan 10 attempt to monkey with the
 wizard of American finance"
 when the old gentleman died in lSS2, however the long delayed fight Tor the valuable Gould property imme- uialeiy began. His will divided his vast fortune among his children. but provided that all his stock holdings snouid ee voted at the various meet tugs as unit. and gave George ].

GEO. GOULD RETIRES

The next step was to secure con. trol or the Western Maryland, which ran from Baltimore inland, and the West Virginia and Central Pitsburg. which ran east from the Smoky City. Between these two roads there was slight gap, which MT. Gould proposed to bridge by building a new road. With this exception the only link necessary to complete the chain of roads from coast to coast was that from Salt Lake City to the coast. and to complete this MT. Gould started to build the Western Pacific.
 But his troubles had already be gun. The other railroad interests recognizing the value of the Gould properties and the serious competi. tion they would offer, had already be- gun a war to oust George Gould as the head of the system. As early as 1902 the young flnancier had severe struggle with E. H. Hartman and Ed mund Hawley for the control of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. but succeeded in worsting his opponents iAS SiaiA"J " ohid bIllCily OpDOSGQ his entrance into Pittsburg, and so bitter did this fight become that after the erection of the Wabash Pitts burg Terminal, the Pennsylvania or dered the Western Union Telegraph Co.,. which the Goulds control, to take down their lines east of Pittsburg alone the route of that road.
 In 1905 MT. Gould had a serious dis agreement with Joseph w Ramsay Jr.. his right-hand man, and president of the Wabash, which eliminated in Ramsay's discharge At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the road several weeks later, Ramsay made hard fight to oust Gould, but was defeated.
 By his decision to build the West ern Pacific he again incurred the dis pleasure of Hartman, who believed that 1t would inture the interests of the Southern Pacific.
 About this time considerable legis- lation adverse to the railroads was enacted in several of the western states. and on account of his lack of

eorced to Recapitulate After Struggle of Twenty Years.
since Death of Jay Gould in 1892 Control of His Many Valuable Properties Gradually Wrested
 From Family-story of'War.

Now York.-An important chapter In the railroad and financial history of inc country came to close at the recent annual meeting of the share boIders of the Missouri Pacific rail road held at St. Louis, when George I Gould presented his resignation as president of that road and new men were elected to succeed the repre- s4ntatfves of the Gould interests on the board of directors.
 Thus will end twenty years war. which has been waged relentlessly bv the financial giants of Wall street for control of the Gould properties; thus will George Gould's dream of controlling coast-to-coast railroad be rudely dispelled.
 Since the death of old Jay Gould in 1892, the control of his many val uable properties has gradually been wrested from the family. First the Manhattan Elevated line was gobbled up by the Interborough; then the Western Union Telegraph Go. was absorbed by the A T. & T. Co.,; and now the Missouri Pacific, the holding company for the Gould railroad prop critics and considered one of the most valuable of all the Gould holdings, will pass into other hands.
 But these changes were not effected without struggle. the history of which makes interesting reading.
 At every turn George Gould has met his enemies with courage born of desperation, but the odds were too great and he has at last been forced to recapitulate.
 This does not mean, however, that the Gould fortune has dWindled in size; on the contrary 1t has greatly

TO ORGANIZE FOR BUSINESS
Each Other as Individuals and Know Market Demands.

In one of our exchanges published in one of the greatest states of the middle west, introducing lengthy ar ticle on Organized Agriculture" we find the following:
 ''ln a certain sense every farmer is the competitor of every other farmer. He raises the same kinds of grain, live stock, poultry and orchard prod ucts, and sells them in the same mar ket. Unless his products are bettsr than those of his neighbors or are prepared with more care. he receives the same prices.
 The farmer lives an isolated life. His time and attention are occupied with the management of his great manufacturing machine. He has ample time for thought and Is a keen think CT He desires information and is an earnest student both of the condi- tions with which nature surrounds him and of the facts which are pre- sented to him by others.
 These facts have made for the gen eral benefit of the individual farmer. but have prevented his close associa- ton with his fellows in organization for their mutual good. Business men in the cities have their organizations for mutual benefit, as do the laborers their unions. Farmers, however, do not organize in this way for business purposes"
 The writer then goes on to speak, says the Up-toDate Farming, with very proper Commendation. of the va rious associations of farmers for spe- cial purposes-for the exhibition of products, the fairs; for the improve ment of live stock and poultry, the va rious stock and poultry associations; the organizations to discuss better cul- tural methods, the schools and insti- tutes. etc; all good and making for progress.
 But why not organize for business :? Other business people do, as is ad- mitted, Is not farming a business :? Would not the adoption of business principles make it more successful as business? Truly the farm and it's operation is the management of a great manufacturing machine" What manufacturing business could exist without strict observance of business principles? Every farmer is the com petitor of every other farmer" and sells the articles he manufactures, his products, In the same competitive markets, and at prices made by the buyers.
 Put other manufacturers, the pro ducers of artificial commodities. on this method of making and selling, and again we ask, how long could they do business? But business men in the cities have their organizations for mutual benefit.
 Is 1t any wonder that farmers so often find themselves at disadvan- tage In the business world? Their in- come depends upon what they receive for their products and that does not depend so much upon the quantity they have as upon the price they re- ceive. Hence to be successful and to occupy a position at all equal with the manufacturers of other things, they must organize for business. They must cease to compete with each other as individuals. They must quit dumping on glutted markets. They must know what and where the de- mand is. and how best to get to 1t; and they must then sell ae prices that insure remuneration. They must or ganize for business.
