CHIEF LITTLE. BEAR
 TO STAY NEUTRAL

Washington. Sept. 25.-LttIe Bears. chief of a rowing band of Indians in the west, which has for years been known as the Rocky Mountain Boys. has written a letter to the secretary of the interior declaring that his forces will remain absolutely neutral during the present war in Europe. ss Records show that nothing has ever occurred in the imrne nediate vicinity of Little Bears that upset or frightened him for any part of a minute, but his letter makes it clear that, much as he thinks of the prowess of the Rocky Mountain Boys, he has a faint idea of his own and's his followers limitations.
 In the fastness where the Rocky Mountain Boys have made a ren- dezvous for long time a newspaper is seldom seen and never read when seen, and the exact means by which the proportions of the European war were impressed upon Little Bears ere mains a mystery. But, anyway, if he was told by word of mouth. which seems likely, his informant put the description across in fine style. for it is perfectly obvious that Little Bears wants none of the military glory to be found in Europe.
 When MT. Lane, the secretary of the interior received the letters from Little Bears he forwarded 1t to Presi- dent Wilson, who has asked that the leader of the Rocky Mountain Boys be thanked for his patriotic attitude.

NEW YORK EXPERT REVIEWS SITUATION
 IN FINANCIAL WORLD

(The Barron Financial News servtce.)
 New York Sept. 25.-There is 8 market for securities on the New Street curb, the very existence of which is based on pessimism. Those who do business in it predict that the Stock Exchange will not reopen for months; they would be glad if it never resumed at all. For when 1t does there vocation will disappear over night. In this little open air market which Is located between the rear of the Stock Exchange and the cafes lining the other side of New Street, has not yielded any large fortunes to those who have been operating in it, but many have managed to eke out g. living. What they have they want to retain, and they know that a. return of optimism or confidence would re- suit in the reopening of the Stock E5x- change, which would mean the com plete disappearance Of their market Hence they are doing their best to keep sentiment as depressed as possi- ble.
 With the exception of the Southern Pacific, Atchison and Kansas City Southern systems, the lTe1as & Pa- cif1c railway earned more gross per mile of road than any other railroad operating in the Southwest With the exception of the Kansas City Southern and the Chicago & Northwestern, the Texas 6 Pacific was the orIy railfoad operating west of the Mississippi river, north or south, that reported an In-, crease in gross revenues in 1914 The Texas 6 Pacif1c's gross increase was $573,000, or 3.2 per cent. over 1913. The Kansas City Southern's increase was $287 600, or 2.7 per cent. and the Northwestern's increase was $6A, 600, or.S per cent.

 Information obtained at the Clear ing House indicates steady progress in the arrangements for the $100,000, GOO gold pool. Formal action by many Of the banks has not yet been taken, pending weekly meetings of the boards Of directors. Informally, however, the special committee Is more than ever assured that practically all of the banks will co-operate in raising the $54,O00, ,o00 participation of the banks of this city. Formal actions is desired by the committee before it requests formal action by the banks Of Phi1a- delphia, Boston, Chicago and St. Louis, though informally favorable as- surances have come from those cfttes. The point is that the New York com nnfttee wants to show the money of New York banks before it requests other cities to raise. their portion of the pool

WOULD CLOSE ROAD OVER ACADEMY HILL.
Special to The Farmer.l

Stratford, Sept. 25.-A petition is being circulated about town by tax payers and citizens sto close to traffic, the road which runs in the rear of Christ Episcopal church on Academy Hill between Elm and Main streets They claim the road is of no benefit to the town except that it affords a short cut for autom obiIes to the main road going to Washington Bridge from Main street instead of taking the state road. When these autonno- .bil1sts pass over this street. they raise a. cloud of dust which is worry stihing to pedestrians who happen to be walking by The residents in the vfcin- ity are loud in their complaint about the dust which arises stating that it is impossible to leave windows open without the furniture and all other contents of the house being covered with it.
 It is said that this road was never laid out as 8. highway but came into use as short cut across Academy Hill. A map of Stratford, dated 1867, shows all other roads now in this vicinity, also the old Stratford Acad-= emy, but the road in question does not appear. The discontinuance of this highway would add greatly to the beauty of Academy Hill Park
 The petition. will be presented to the Board of SeIectmen and a hearing will be given it at the annual meeting October 9th at the town hall.
