NAMES in the past have been run on
the theory that they belonged TO
the management rather than 10
stockholders, and important ln1or-
nation, such as executive Salarles'
have been withheld.
Of late it has been noted that
MANY companies have taken tner
shareholders into their confidence
much more fully than in the past,
and it is possible that this attitude
will tend to help the relationship
beween the two groups. The change:
however, may have come too late 10

T. cate that Wall Street brokers
will reduce their working forces by
not less than 5000 people at the be-
ginning of the new month tomor-
row. This reduction, it is stated, Is
predicted on the belief that the
markets in the financial district
will become extremely dull as a re-
suit of the new market regulation
law which is scheduled to be en-
acted shortly. In view OF the tacC
that brokerage forces already have
been reduced to less than hall their
normal size the further cut takes
on added Importance. 1t is to be
honed that the i'll wind will blow
somebody good in this instance.
TINE first railroads to report load
I ings of revenue freight for the
week ended May 26 show an average
gain of about II per cent compared
with the corresponding week OF last
wear. In the previous week the gain
over 1888 amounted to about 1412
per cent. This performance would
seem to reflect a slump in business
of late in excess of seasonal proper
tions. but the fact that so few roads
were involved would make it dam
gerous to accept the showing as con
elusive. The report of all the Glass
l roads will not be made public
until tomorrow, at which time the
recent forecasts of pending slump
in trade may be measured quite &C
curately.

The Billings relief garden Of 1893,
brought into being largely through
the efforts of a special committee
composed Of Kiwanis members, was
n of the most successful city re-

n garden and beneficiaries of neces-

distance in carrying the huge garden
through to completion.
Bruce Mckee, county extension
agent for Yellowstone county, who play

organized all those who participated
into a club called the Billings Com
munity Garden club. The club elected
officers from among its own members,
They provided for managers and di-
rectors and for regular meetings. Mckee
said it was this organization which
really forced the garden project through
to such a successful end.
The most difficult task was the orig
inal organization Of the garden. Be-
cause of the impossibility Of growing
crops without irrigation water, city lots
were out of the question, so through
