May Help Railroad But Will Be
Rough on Owners of Securities
From the Minneapolis Journal
The Milwaukee road, once one of the soundest and most pro
fitable railroads of the west, now finds it necessary to effect a
complete financial reorganization by means of a receivership.
Out of this process will eventually issue a new Milwaukee,
shorn of a mountain of obligations, and ready to engage in rail
roading on a sound and businesslike basis. But that will mean
losses to the scattered holders of its securities. It is they who will
pay for the rejuvenation of the Milwaukee.
They have been somewhat prepared for this overturn by the
steady decline in the quotations of their securities, as the day ap
proached when forty-five million dollars had to be found some
where, and nowhere to find it. But these losses of capital invested
in supposedly sound securities mean many individual hurts.
It is explained that the Milwaukee has had a long run of bad
luck, beginning with the transcontinental extension and aggravat
ed by the war and government mismanagement. But other well
managed railroad properties have weathered the war and govern
ment operation successfully and are now on the upgrade to steady
prosperity.
So it comes back, for the Milwaukee, to the 2,000-mile trans
continental extension. That was badly planned and badly exe
cuted. It ought to have tapped new and unserved territory as far •
as possible. Instead its projectors chose to parallel existing lines
for hundreds of miles. At the western end they might have opened
a new route through Central Oregon, w'here there were no rail
roads and where the country is susceptible of rich development,
just as James J. Hill developed the new territory through which
he built the Great Northern coast extension. But instead a com
peting line was built, which had to share traffic with established
lines, and which runs through much territory that is not productive
and probably never will be.
Nor was the financing of the extension soundly managed. The
work wras expensively done and these costs, of course, w'erc trans
lated into securities on which charges had to be earned. t
Now' there is nothing for it but the heroic expedient of a re
ceivership. The treatment is painful for the security holders, but
it will effect a cure for the road.

Geologists Often Err.
From the Montana Oil Journal.
Can anyone respect the judgment
or heneety or Integrity of a geologist
who will advance the theory that a
manmade theoretical state line can
establish for the Almighty the loca
tion of oil pools?
There are geologists who stood on
the Wyoming border a few years ago
and staked their judgment and pro
fessional reputation on the statement
that no oil would be found in Mon
tana.
There are today geologist* In both
Montana and Wyoming w>ho are
shaking their heads about the pos
sibility of finding oil In the Dakotas.
The Black Hills uplift on the south
west side is producing oil in Wyom
ing. Yet they shake their heads about
the possibility of finding oil on the
bther sides of the Black Hills uplift,
because they are in South Dakota. If
the men who made the state lines had
made Wyoming Include all of Mon
tana and western South Dakota, tlhe
value of the entire area for pros
pecting would be doubled and trebled,
under this commonly propounded
theory.
The geologists who made the wise
cracks about Montana are now de
voting their tljne and attention to
South Dakota which has deeper
drilling snd where U is more diffi
cult to call the He*.
The same theory applies on the
Pacific coaat. There are hair-brained
Individuals who decry attempts to
find oil In Oregon and Washington,
convinced that all the oil west of
the Rocky mountains Is cooped up In
100.000 acres of oil lands In the stats
of California. Similar structural
conditions, similar sands, similar
strata, even similar topographical

A SPECIAL PLEA
By Jean O'Brien.
Give me the sun, and sometimes,
rain.
Give me the moon, and snow;
Give me a friend to show me Love,
And give me then—a foe.
Give me desire unsatisfied.
And sometimes—full delight;
Give me still watches in the dark,
And then—deep sleep—at night.
Give me not too much sweetness,
lest I know satiety; .
Give me—all things that make a
LIFE—
Chiefly—variety.

“Heart-Easing Things.**

Who simply tell the most heart

Is there anyone who sings
In our day heart-easing things?
Such, the Graces and the Hours
Bringing simple fruits and flowers
Down a bowery aisle of treee,
As in some old dancing frieze.
Would such delicacies please?
No! Our tastes ask subtleties;
In the wholesome meadow bloom.
Poison find, with rank'perfume;
Know that greenwood shades conceal

Innocence?—tihe mask for Guilt,
Plunge the dagger to the hilt!
Let the altar wine be spilt—
All old shrines be now unbuilt!
Listen not, if any cry
"Comfort me!” Let that go by;
No heart-easing thing they tell
Who Today’s harsh chorus swell.

To Prlapus, also, shout!
Now -the Art of Song must be.

Heap up monstrous words, Instead
Of pure Sense with Muslo wed.
Oh, heart-easing things, once said.
Long and long ago are fled . . .

From their laurel! guarded ground
Will not rise to bid you Nay!
Though you Rhyme and Reason flay,
Safely you shall hold your way—
Io! Bards of our Today!
