New Haven Directors Re-
fuse to Sell Boston &
Maine Stock to the State
Of Massachusetts Under
II Proffered Terms

New York, July 16.-By a unani-
nous vote Of the directors of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road company, at special meeting to-
day, stood by their decision not to sell
to the state of Massach hLsetts their
holdings of Boston & Maine railroad
stock Under the terms imposed by that
state.
In the language of the official state
ment, The directors have neither re-
ceded from their position nor closed
the door to further negotiations.
The terms imposed by the state of
Massachusetts in connection with the
sale Of New Haven's Boston & Maine
stock contain the provision that each
certificate must bear the stipulation
on the part of the purchaser that he
will sell his shares to the state of
Massachusetts at any time named.
The New Haven directors took the
ground that compliance with this con-
dition would render the stock undesir-
able as a purchase on any fair basis.
Emphatic denial was made of the
rumors recently current that applica-
ton for a friendly receivership was
contemplated. On this point the state
nlent says:
The directors will not apply for, nor
will they consent to receivership.
The company is solvent, is earning it's
fixed charges and is able to meet it's
current obligations promptly"
The board also considered the inter
state commerce commissions recent
scathing denInciation of the former
management The only direct refer
ence to this arraignment was contained
in the bare announcement that a COM
mittee Of three was to be appointed
to take the commissions report under
consideration and make known it's
conclusion at further meeting.
The meeting was attended by II of
the % members of the board, includ
ing William Rockefeller, who issued a
denial of the report that hetintended to
resign.

No Lonoer Opposed.

The New York state Workmen's COM
pensation commission reports that the
railroads are no longer opposing the
application of the workmen's compen-
sation law They are insuring their
risks, some having taken out policies
in the state fund, while others have
given their business to the stock in
surance companies. Still others insure
their own risks. The distinction be-
tween intrastate and interstate en-
ployes in applying the law to the rail-
roads is still an unsettled question,
and decision in the matter will prob
ably be held in allegiance until the first
claims are filed Four hundred claims
for compensation had been filed up to
July 8. 1t was found that only four
of these were death claims.

g A Bio Oruanization.

The Railway World, studying the
last annual report of the interstate
commerce commission, finds that in
June, 1913, the number of persons en-
ployed was S52. The list includes 40
chiefs of divisions, 32 attorneys, 10
examiners and sol clerks. This state
ment evidently was made before many
persons were engaged in the valuation
division, as only the five engineers are
mentioned under that mead. The APP
preparations made by congress for the
work of the commission for the last
fiscal year amounted to S1,S55,629. In
1888 the number Of persons employed
by the commission was ) and the ex-
penditures in mat year were $113,00S.

STATE Commission Upheld.

The interstate commerce commits
sion has rendered its decision In the
case Of the Montana railroad commits
sion in behalf of the Northwestern
Oil Refining company of Billings, In
the matter of rates on oil In car loads
from Cowley, Wyo., on the Burlington,
to points in Montana on the Northern
Pacific Milwaukee, Great Northern
and the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific.
The railroad commission was notified
of the decision yesterday.
The case was heard at Billings May
IS, 1918. The interstate commerce
commission in it's findings, holds that
the rates to stations on the Milwau-
kee in Montana are excessive and I'm
reasonable, inasmrch as no through
rates are named, the same being based
on combinations of locals.
AS a result of the findings, the Mil
Waukee is requested to amend it's tar
ifs within so days so that the rates
from Cowley will be no higher than
10 per cent per hundred weight less
than from Casper, Wyo., to same des-
tination.
The findings also says that the de-
PENDANTS should give further consider
alton to the adjustment of rates as
between crude and refined oil.
The interstate commerce commission
has not ordered the rates reduced to
points on the lines of the Northern Pa
cific, Great Northern and the Butte,
Anaconda & Pacific, and states that
the fact of the territory between Cow
ley and Casper being largely oil pro-
ducing, there may be reasons why the
field should be bianketed. but that the
development has not sufficiently ad-
vanced at this time to warrant defi-
nate conclusions.
In presenting it's case before the In
terstate commerce commission the
railroad commission showed that to
many points in the state of Montana,
the actual cost of production OF the
oil Is equal, practically, to the freight
rates exatted by defendants for trans
portation. The cost Of production OF
the oil, it is claimed, could be reduced
If the plant were able to operate to
its capacity, but the output has been
limited.

An Ecuador Railway.

At Ambato, a pretty little town in
the republic of Ecuador, there has re-
Gently been celebrated the first ami
yersary of construction work on the
railway now building, from Ambato
across the mountains to Curraray, in
the Amazon valley.
This celebration had many pictur-
aesqre features connected with it, de-
tails of which have just been received
at the Pan American union in Wash
ington There were read several poems
bringing out, in beautiful Castilian,
the pride taken by the people Of Ecua-
dor in the advancement of this ambi-
tiors undertaking. The civic authors
ties ordered a general holiday, so that
the people, the school children and all
those directly concerned with the work
in hand might take part in the fiesta
and help to accentuate the fact that
Ambato himself had loyalty supported
the Ecuador government at every step.
Speeches were made showing that
when this railway was completed, it
would be the beginning of new IN
dustrial progress not alone for Ambato
but for all Ecuador because it would
give acess to a new region of wonder
ful resources. Special thanks were
expressed to the engineers and con-
tractors from the United States, who
had so sympathetically and effectively
co-operated with the government in all
it's plans Celebrations of this kind
are popular in Latin America, and
whoever who has had the pleasure of
attending one knows how we'll the tenn
permanent of the people shows itself in
them.
Ecuador can indeed be proud of this
railway, and the United States should
also share this pride, because from the
beginning American engineers have
had charge of it. In fact, it is a gov
eminent road, organized and financed
by government, Under the advice Of

The regular monthly report of this
field district of the forest service,
general summary Of the work accom-
pliShed, which is submitted to come
under the personal attention of Chief
Forester Graves at Washington, con-
tains interesting figures, especially
concerning the work of the office OF
silviculture. The figures show less
timber sold but more cut during Juno
this year than during the same month
a year ago. The month has not been
especially active. No bids were re-
ceived for timber advertised for sale
on Lightning creek in the Pend
d'Orelle forest, nor We're any offers
made for the 60,O00.o00 feet of timber
advertised for sale on kalispell creek,
although the prospects are good for
both sales to be made in the very near
future. The advertisement have been
approved for the sale of 100000 feet
on the Coeur d'A1ene forest, 100000
feet on the kootena. and for 100000
feet on the Lolo during the month.

There is story now going the rounds
at the shops to the effect that Ru

fore the event took place, he almost
went to the altar without his shoes.
Mr.. Swanson was married on a Satur

Thursday he quit work about o'clock
and began to make preparations for
his trip to Butte. While shaving and
dressing he slipped on an old pair
of house slippers and when he started
for the train with his mind full of
other thoughts. he carelessly neglect
ed to change his footgear. To make
the joke still better he did not notice
his error until he had almost reached
his destination. Needless to say the
first thing he did after reaching Butte
was to look up a pair of shoes.
