Hill Roads Merger Suggested

Talk Of impending railroad mergers,
IS permitted under the new railroad
legislation, is supplying the Street
with something to think about in con-
nection with the speculative revival
in the rail shares. The possibility of
consolidation of the three Hill line
roads of the Northwest-the Great
Northern. the Northern Pacific and the
Chicago, Burlington 6 Quincy-was
suggested yesterday in banking circles.
Such step might be taken, it was
said, in connection with providing for
the huge maturity of Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy joint per cent bond
issue next year. This maturity amounts
to 5,227 900 and falls on July /,
1921. 1t is joint obligation of the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cife. The huge amount of the issue
makes its refnancing one Of the big
gest problems confronting railroad
bankers, and informal discussions have
already been going on for some months
looking to the formulation of definite
plans for taking care of the securities
when they fall due. Control of the Bur-
lington lies with the two other Hill
roads, and it would not be surprising,
in the view of some of the bankers,
were the roads interested to take ad-
vantage of the new legislation and ar
range a regional consolidation.

Expect Treasure Ships Soon

Arrangements for shipping the SILL
100000 Federal Reserve gold, now
lodged in the vaults of the Bank of
England in London, to this country are
nearing completion, and officials here
expect in the next few days to hear
of the sailing of the first of the treas
ure ships. The gold will be sent on a
dozen boats, at least, and its shipment
will be spread over considerable
period. On its arrival here in New
York it will be turned over imme diately
to the Federal Reserve Bank, which
will transfer it to the Sub Treasury.
The local bank will obtain gold GER
titicates in exchange for the actual
metal and these, in turn, will be sent
into the gold settlement fund at Wash
ington. Through the fund the amount
of gold due to the different Federal
Reserve banks will be distributed. Of
ficials of the Reserve Bank say there
IS no significance whatsoever to be
attached to the transfer from London
to New York.

French Still Selling

So far as brokers in international ox-

Is still selling sterlin" in this markc
to obtain dollars to pa. off nart Of lis
half of the $500,000,O00 Anglo French
maturity next month. This is The
source apparently of the largest of
current offerings. The French a few
weeks ago were heavy sellers of francs
IN the London market, where they built
up considerable sterling balances,

with all the offerings Of sterling for
French account, the brokers sa| the

More Time Money Offered

Interior banks are the institutions
offering time funds in this market at
the moment. They are making small
loans through their New York corre-
spondents. Further small offerings
were reported yesterday and some loans
were made on an 8 per cent basis.
Around the Street it is intimated that
money might be available shortly at
7a4 per cent, although no loans, so far
as is known, have been made thus far
on that basis. Brokers, according to
the gossip of the market place, are not
especially dcsirous about making time
money commitments beyond the end
,of 1920. This is not surprising in
view of the growing belief, whether
warranted or not. that toward the end
of the year money will work much
easier. Dealers in bankers acceptances
reported one of the best days in weeks
yesterday. The demand was active
coming from local buyers as we'll as
out-of-town institutions.

Waiting for the Turn

Bankers are still remarking at the
heavy outflow of funds from this CEN
ter to the interior. While the aggre-
gate demand for funds for crop-moving
purposes has not been in excess of ex-
pectations, the flow has been large and
steady and still is in evidence. When
the tide will turn in the other direction
is a question that remains to be an
swered, but the opinion is held by
some Of the bankers that October Is
should begin to see something of re-
versal in the flow of the stream. And
by the end of the year the current Of
money running in this direction is eX-
pected to assume broad proportions.

That Mexican Loan

Wall Street bankers smile when thew
are asked about MeXco's chance Of
getting large loan in this, or, for that
matter, in any other market. But the
reports persist that the new govern
ment. at Mexico City is confident of
winning the support of American fnan-
ciers. How could any banker or group
of bankers" said prominent financial
man yesterday, "ask the investment
public to- buy Mexican governmon Mt
bonds under present conditions ?" He
suggested that after the new govern
ment at Mexico City had been recog-
nized by the United States government
they might get ready to talk business,
but even then it was held that the
new regime would have to be clv"a
time to prove, its stability. The bank
ing view is that ultimately, if things
should quiet down in Mexico, an in
sernat,onal consortium might be
formed, having the backing of several

SAN FRANCISCO
GETTING READY
Elaborate Preparations by Pa
Clfio Coast City to Welcome
Democratic Delegates.
IN. E. A. STAFF Correspondent

N II. a. CorTeSpondentD
SAN FRANCISCO. June 11.-If
at tho coming Democratic national
convention in this town the week OF
June 20 there are certain things you
ought to know. Charles w. Fay,
postmaster Of San Francisco and
general head OF the local reception
Committee, Is trying to make the
little party worthy of the occasion Of
the Pacific coasts first national con-
vention IN history, and he wants the
east to now just what the west Is
doing to make the visitors comfy.
Bring your light wraps and over
coats" Is his only request. He'll at
tend to the rest. California summers
about San Francisco bay are not the
sweltering things they are in eastern
II very cool and the evenings far
from balmy.
Don't tear the profteering land
lords. Is his confident assurance. The
hotel mems association Is going to
show the delegates what western
hospitality means, and they have
agreed on a Ono Price Program. This
had for from So to SIS q day.
The railroads have arranged for a
one~-and-a-third fare from eastern
points. For instance the round trip
from Chicago will be 5000. There
will also be excursions from here to
other California points so that dele
gates and their families can combine
the occasion with O sightseeing tour.
At three big hotels of San Fran
cisco the activities of the week will
center. Tho Palace Will be the exec
utivs center, and much OF the lobby
ing will go on In the big corridor of
this hosiery. The celebrities will
stay at the Fairmont and st. Francis.
There will be over twenty COVER
nors and at least seven members of
the Presidents cabinet here. Bryan,

hotels.
There Will be 1922 delegates. Of

the Philippines and Alaska Will each
send three.
Besides the delegates and their
alternates. there will be $40 men,
bers of the press, whose comforts
Will be cared for by Jim Preston,
press gallery at Washin gton.
The big meeting place of the o n
ventlon is the Civic Auditorium
which holds 1900 people. The
Coliseum in Chicago and Madison
Square Garden in New York are said
to be the only two larger halls In
America. Seats for $500 are being
arranged on the ground floor and the
rest will be seated In the galleries.
The convention Is lik ely to asst the
entire week. Unlike the Republicans
the Bourbons require two-thirds to
nominate, or 72s votes. The Repub.
licans need only q majority out oil
their smaller representation of 4o2
or only 10s votes. 1t Is doubtful
whether the Democrats will name
their candidate before July 3rd.

a REcEIvERsHIP SCANDAL

1t is now proposed that the legis-
lature investigate the charges that
the three receivers for the coal com
panies receives for the coal compar-
les received $4,000 for their services.
The governor of the state did most
of the work and did not get cent
for it, just why these men should
have this bonus is hard to under
stand Certainly it is not fair to the
young men who left their homes and
worked hard for small wages. 1t Is
something that disgusts the public
with receiverships. They ought to be
conducted as any other business.
If it is true that these receivers r.
ceived the sum of $4,000 for their
short services they ought to be held
up to public ridicule. OF course they
will still have the money but we
want the state to have the chance TO
say about them just what it thinks.

WHAT DICKINSON EXPECTS

Reports from Topeka say that
there will be mighty few votes in
either house against Gov. Aliens
bill creating an industrial court or
commission for the settlement of
labor troubles The bill proposes to
establish justice for the public oy
establishing justice for both employ
er and employee and that is the just
and equable course for everybody.
Dickinson county has two repre-
sentatives in the legislature, Senator
Myers and representative Lamb. 1t
expects both to support the bill and
truly represent the overwhelming
sentiment of their constituents. No
other course will be accepted by this
county and no other course will be in
the interest of justice and fair deal
ing with those who have elected
them The law is not inimical to
labor, 1t does not favor the employ
er-it stands for justice and none
should want more.

opANT TOWNSHIPS ROADS

The action OF Grant township II
deciding to gravel the Enterprise
road but carries out It's progressive
idea In improving the roads OF the
township. Several miles OF road in
the township have already been
graveled. A gravel road properly
maintained is nearly a perfect road
surface; neglected Il Is q delusicn
and failure.
The road from town To the river
Is striking example Of bad main
tcnanee. Several thousand dollars
have been spent by city aud town
ship graveling IT,; then 1t has been
absolutely neglected until there are
few worse roads In the county, II
any. South Of the river part OF the
travelled road Is badly neglected..
The township has graveled nearly
two miles southwest of town leading
out by the alfalfa mill. II Is IN good
condition hut unless 1t Is constantly
maintained It will soon be In holes
and rnts. The Sand Springs ROAD
cost several thousand dollars ana
was for three years neglected until II
was worse than before 1t was gravel
ed. Lately II has had some mainten-
ance and the improvement Is notice
able-lbut It needs more.
The Enterprise road success Will
depend ON how well 1t Is maintained.
.It can be kept a model road or 1t can
degenerate into an almost worthless
highway. Gravel roads must be
maintained and the weakness Of
most of such building has been that
otter being laid the surface Is sup
posed to be everlasting and nothing
more Is done. Grant township has
made good beginning. II II will
work out systematic maintenance
system for its gravel roads II will be
the prize township Of the county for
ROADS. If 1t does not, II will find a
great deal of It's money and effort
