There has been commendable i'm
provement in the class of investments
i'm mining and oil enterprises offered
to the investing public recently. The
fight that has been waged in the west
against those parasites who have been
flching the public at the expense OF
these two great industries has borne
fruit. The class of promotions that
have recently been put before invest
ors are of a higher standard than
those of d few years ago. The edu-
cation of the investing public, brought
about principally through the efforts
of the legitimate mining and financial
press, has caused investors to investi-
gate properly before investing. In
vestors are now asking questions as
to capitalization, treasury stock, COM
missions and standing of officers, and
in fact every feature regarding an en-
terprise is closely scrutinized before
stock Is purchased. This has brought
about the old rule Of the survival of
the fittest with the result that the
company that can not stand up under
the limelight of publicity is not able
to sell stock with any great success.
Exaggerated Statements Suspicious.
There Is an old saying that one rot
ten apple will spoil an entire barrel.
II is also true that one broker or pro-
moter through eXtravagant or mis-
leading statements can cast discredit
upon the entire mining and promotion
world. Men who are engaged in hon.
est effort, financing and developing
new projects look with askance up
on the upscrupulous operator in min
ing or oil They shun him but they
are so busy with their own affairs
that they have no time to fight him.
Only during the past week the Denver
papers have carried an advertisement
IN which the statement was made that
$50 invested in a certain oil stock
would return profit of $4,000 I'm
three years time. The stock was one
of the newer Wyoming issues that has
had much popularity, The officers of
the company should call the broker
Gown and call him good and hard, for
this eXtravagant prediction.
Chickens Come Home to Roost.
For many years the larger financial
interests have warned investors to
refrain from putting money in pros
pect mining and oil enterprises. In
the face of this handicap, these two
front, and it is pleasing to note that
many of the enterprises condemned
by these big financial interests are
now paying large dividends A dis
patch from Washington appearing in
today's papers shows that chickens

Old Wooden Ships,

Wooden ships of ancient construc-
ton which have been tied up for
years are being pressed into service
on the Pacific coast and in some cases
are making more than their original
cost with single voyage, says Fred
Jacobson, who is engaged in transfer
work at the Seattle docks. Mr.. JACOB
son was guest at the F'inlen yester-
day.
Mr.. Jacobson cited the example OF
the Nelson, which recently ended q
To-day voyage, from Chile to Seattle
The voyage Melted $4,000, although
the ship is more than 40 years old
and of the clipper class. The vessel
has contracts for sufficient cargo TO
keep her busy for year, and it's own
ers figure she should earn 5000 a day
for the next twelve months.

come home to roost. The interstate
commerce commission, in its review
of the financial downfall of the Pere
Marquette arilroad and the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton & Dayton railway, at
tributes this colossal failure primarily
to breach of trust by corporate OH
Gals often for personal gain" 1t Is
safe to say that investors lost more
real money through the failure or
these two roads than has been lost by
investors in mining and oil projects
floated during the past several years.
The interstate commerce commission,
in its report, says among other things:
Railroad Wreekers Get Money From
Bank.
1.-THE downfall with its deplorable
consequences can be traced only to
betrayal within and not to compulsion
without Neither rivalry nor rate
level nor regulation nor all combined
can be found on this record to have
contributed in any appreciable de-
gree to the disaster.
Nothing disclosed in the record be-
fore Is more to be regretted than the
readiness of great banking institu-
tons to loan enormous sums of money
on exceedingly precarious security in
aid Of such schemes as have been de-
vised in the wrecking of these rail-
roads.
Not only this, but the high officers
of such institutions. while acting os-
tensibly as directors of the railroads,
have in fact been little more than tools
and dummies for the promoters"
"rhe commission asks If the fate of
these two railroads can not serve to
avert similar happenings to other
roads in the future
Perhaps not entirely, but ii will
help If minority stockholders are
more watchful and If bondholders as
sert their rights before their security
fades away for lack Of upkeep, pur-
posely neglected in order to pay in

marketing of all securities of COM

regulations. AS to that We renew the
Recommendations repeatedly made to

| The mining and oil fields of the
