MOUNTAINVIEW CUTS SHARES ID
 POPULAR PRICE

A change in the share capital alization involving a reduction of the price of shares and also increasing the number of shares to a total of ten million, was effected by the Mountain view Gold Mining Company at special meeting held recent ly in Ketchikan.
 As a result of the change, the company's share capitalizat- ion has been raised from 2,00O, 900 shares of no par value, equivalent to $200,OOO, to a share capitalization of $1,0O0, 900 divided into ten million shares of a par value of ten cents per share. As the current price of the company shares was formerly 50 cents, the new scheme of capitalization will effect a marked reduction in the value of outstanding shares of earlier issue, but this will be fully compensated for by the issuance of five shares at the reduced price for each out standing share of earlier issue.
 The change of capitalization is the result of the desire of the directors. to place the comp any shares on a more favor able basis with the shares of other mining companies, most of which are being marketed at low prices, according to Ar thur Moa, general manager of the company. As pointed out by MT. Moa, the present ten- dency of investors is toward lower priced shares. Not only is this tendency reflected in the mining flotations but is also evidenced in the case of many industrial stocks, which are being marketed at prices far below those of stocks of the same character in earlier per iods. This discloses that the inclination for a lowering of prices is not confined to spec ulative issues and is evidently the response to the demands of a market in which cheaper stocks are more attractive to investors than are higher priced issues.
 Confronted by the too limited market for higher priced stocks, the Mountainview di- rectors wisely decided to adopt a more popular price and are confident that the the change will result in marked benefits in connection with future fi- nancing. Allowing for the ex- change of outstanding shares on the indicated basis of five for one, the company will have a total of 7 million shares in the treasury with which to con- tinue development activities on it's Fish Creek holdings. Plans for future development are now under consideration and will be announced in due seas- on.

Nv MARIAN HALE

Washington, May o. tNEA) -
Everybody knows how Charlie Curtis,
the boy jockey. rose to be vice presi-
dent Of the United States.
That's one OF Americas .avoritc
success stories.
The story Of Pcrmelia Curtis. the
little orphan girl. who now Is OFF,
cially recognized as the Second Lady
OF the Land, Is not IS familiar.
But that story has even more OF
the charm Of a fairy tale.
Was Christened Permclia
Permclia a tho chriStcned name
Of the famous lady now known as
Mrs. Dolly Curtis Gam. 1t dropped
| off somewhere along her line OF
progress.
The story Of Permelia does not
exactly parallel that OF Cinderella or
Of Goldilocks. but it does show what
unstinted devotion and loving effort
sometimes a do for a little girl who
hasn't any magic slippers with which
to win a golden palace and a hand
some prince.
Permelia Curtis had only a public
school education. She was born In
Topeka. Kansas. and in Kansas spent
all her girlhood years. Unlike her
big half brother Charlie, she had no
Indian blood in her veins.
Child When Mother Died
She vas only a schoolgirl in pig
tails when her mother died. She
remembers wildly today her tears
and her utter misery and how
Brother Charlie comforted her and
took her into his home. That was
in 1889 and Curtis. who had studied
law in another mans office and had
served two terms as county attorney.
was one OF Topeka's leading lawyers.
At that point began Dolly Cams
long career Of loyal and devoted
service. which now has been % richly
rewarded.
Washington knows no example Of
brotherly and siste-iv affection more
appealing or more enduring. Charlie
and Permeiia have lived and worked
together-and, as they would say II
New England. done for each other"
for 40 years.

States. Blue blood courses through
Dolly Cams warm heart.
In 1893 Curtis was elected to con-
rreSs and Permelia came to Wash.
ington as his secretary. Al tha.
time only other member Of con-
gress had q woman secretary. Senator
Warren of Wyoming.
The members Of the house had no
office building and so the little girl
did her brothers secretarial work at
home. It vas then that she who al

brothers happiness turned to the task
Of aiding his political success.

| TO Limit REDUCTION
Farm Relief Rates Action to
Apply Only to Wheat and
Wheat Flour

Washington, May 9.-tHo-Rcprc-
sentatives Of Eastern Trunk Line
railroads decided today to limit the
freight rate reduction agreed upon
recently as a farm relief action. to
wheat and wheat flour in line with
the seton Of the Western Trunk Line
railroads.
This action was announced today
to the interstate commerce commits
sion by Robert N. Collyer. chairman
Of the Eastern Trunk Line associa-
ton. The action was decided upon at
Z meeting In New York between
eastern railway executives and mill
crS.
Mr.. Collyer told the commission
this would make 1t necessary for the
eastern railroads to amend the appli-
cation made recently for reduced
rates on all export grain in the east
ern territory.
At a recent meeting in Washington
the eastern carriers agreed upon re-
duced rates On all export grain in or
der to move the surplus crop out OF
the country before the new crop is
harvested. Western railroads at q
later meeting decided TO reduce rates
In their territory on wheat and wheat
flour.
The action today limits the reduc-
ton Of both eastern and western
railroads to wheat and wheat flour.
MI. Collyer appeared before the
commission today along with repre-
sentatives OF other industries some of
whom favor and others oppose the
rate reduction. The meeting was
called by the commerce commission
in order to air the views Of both sides
SO that an agreement might be
reached as to what should be done.
