DETROIT SALT co. TO
Be FINALLY REORGANlED
Passes Into the Control of the
Watkins Concern, of
New York

After working for about year on
a plan Of reorganization, the bond.
holders committee Of the Detroit Salt
Co. has arranged terms of reorganiza-
ton and steps will be taken immedi-
ately to put the property back into
the hands of the security-hoders. II
has been in the hands of the Secur-
ity Trust Co. as receiver for about
a year.
The Watkins Salt Co, OF Watkins,
N. Y, has agreed to furnish the cap
ital necessary to pay off the liens and
expenses incidental TO reorganiza-
ton. amounting to $4,000 The pres
ent bondholders will receive new
BONDS for their present holdings. The
new bonds will run for 20 years and
will draw interest from Jan. /, 1913,
at the rate of three per cent for the
first year, four per cent for the sec
ond year, five per cent for the third
year, and six per cent until maturity.
The present issue, amounting to ST.
100000 calls for interest at the rate
of six per cent.
Preferred stock will be issued to
cover all interest payments that are
past due and coupons up to Jan l..
1913. The income rate on this will
be worked up to six per cent, and at
the end of the 20-year period the
bondholders will have received fun
interest on their bonds at six per
cent.
The Watkins Salt Co. will receive
all the common stock in the new COM
pany, the present common stock be-
ing wiped out. The old common stock
outstanding was all issued as a bonus
with bonds sold, and. therefore, does
not represent any cash investment.
The consent Of the bondholders has
been received to the proposition, and
as soon as arrangements can be
made, w. w. Clute, president Of the
Watkins Salt Co., will become receiv-
er, succeeding the Security Trust Co.,
and will act until foreclosure pro-
ceedings can be finished, and the
property turned over to the new COM
pary.
The Watkins Salt Co. is an indie
pendent concern, and is one Of the
prosperous companies outside the
trust. The deal was arranged by A.
e. Jennings. who acted as secretary
of the Dondholders'- committee. The
mine has been developed during the
recelvershlp of the Security Trust Co
and 1t is now producing steadily.

ACADEMY REUNION
New Haven Celebrates Old Home
Sunday in Fitting Manner.


Old Home Sunday, the 18th, and the
reunion of Beeman academy which fol-
lowed, IN Wednesday, called very many
friends, former teachers and students
to New Haven. Sundays memorial
services were of special interest, many
letters being read from absent teachers,
pupils and former pastors, and their
wives, and by Rev. Mr.. Holden. Spec
ial music was rendered by the choir and
the male quartette gave a selection.
The decorations were sweet peas, Glenn
ats and cut flowers. Sunday evening
was mostly a praise service.
So many years have elapsed since a
Beeman academy reunion was held,
that the recent observance brought
back scores of her sons and daughters
from near and far to extend hearty
greetings to school mater and former
associates and welcoming kindred.
This staid old town was ready for the
numerous arrivals, coming by trains,
autos and carriages. At ten O'Clock a
large audience was assembled on the
academy grounds with the Middlebury
band to furnish the music. John A.
Caldwell of Fowler was president of the
day, and Judge Dana POSTMASTER. A
mastery address was given by Hon.
Charles ]. Russell of Burlington, a for
mer graduate, upon Education and
American Citizenship" At its conclu-
sion the roll was called with verbal
responses. Also many excellent letters
of regret were read from absent alumni
and others. At noon a lunch was
served to nearly five hundred people,
consisting of cold meats, bread and
butter, beans, salads and pickles, cakes
galore and coffee. At n o'clock &C.
Cured the post prandial exercises, with
Judge Dana toastmaster, which was a
very interesting feature of the day.
At seven o'clock there was a business
meeting of the alumni followed by a
reception at the church, with a short
musical and literary program. Waters
and ice cream were served to a large
crowd. Thus ended a pleasant, inspir-
ing and interesting day, long to be
remembered by all present.
The following were among the WISH
tors: Mrs. Clever WARD Brooks of
New Haven, Conn.,, Mrs. Annette
(Chapin) Wetherbee and daughter and
husband, DR.. and Mrs. Moody of
