fields of grain and the high, clean tim
ber mako Ideal environments for the
country. Tho air Is the purest, the view
extends for miles-Indeed, all the natural
advantages for the summer home are In
this section of the state. During the
summer months this road Is favorite with
motorists who chug along the smooth
course of the evening.
Duties Performed by Trut Companies
The woman In one of our large cities
who was afflicted with the dread that
sho might be "burled alive," and who left
Instructions In her will that n trust com
pany should perforate her heart with a
hat-pin after her demise, had a truer
conception Of the so-called "modern trust
:ompany" than tho men who have spent
a life-time in piling up" hugo fortunes
only to have them dissipated Ofter their
death by unwisely leaving their cstatvfc
In olinrge of "confidential frjonds" who
appropriated tho funds for their own use
or lost them In speculation. But tho
record of probato courts In this and
other citjes reveal the rivet that rich and
poor men alike arq coming to reallzo tho
sdvantago of appointing a corporate
trustee, as represented by tho trust com
panies, to tako charge of their affarB
after their demise. Tho Idea that a ior
fiorallon has no "soul" Is also being rap
Idly dispelled by iho personal and sym
pathetic attention which trust companies
are extending to holr clients.'
Incidentally, In connection with this
personal servlco, there are many curious
and rcmurkable facts; related which make'
tho dally routine of tho trust company
officer one of constant- Interest. Ho la
called Upon to do many-, thlhgs which
prove that the corporation which en
gages his services not;only has a "soul''
but a heart and human (sympathies.
About tlio name time that the Plttv
bUr Trust comnanv wiis mnklnar ''.
surnnoo double sure' by piercing tho
1-
heart of tho deceased woman client, a
trusted employe Was sent by one of tho
trust companies of New York City to
.carry the cremated remains of a wealthy
widow across the Atlantic and to the
Mediterranean, where the ashes , were
"cast to the four winds" In accordance
with testamentary instructions.
In tho underground Bafety vaults of
one of the largo trust companies there Is
a so-called "tomb of departed spirits. '
There are'ho Icbb than twelvo receptacles,
steel lined and under lock, where tho
ashes of deceased clients are kept In silver
or golden urns for safekeeping and where
future generations may express their
reverence. The same trust company,, like
nny others, has an clnnloy'e whose
duties Include tho preservation Of ceme
tery lots and .monuments. In other words,
It performs duties which testators pre
ferred not to entrust to Individuals or
relatives.
In ono of our large cities there Is a so-
called "old line" trust company which
stands for everything that Is conserva
tive 'lind dignified The building In
which" .It business Ip conducted re'sem
Idei tho Interior of some old English
cathedral. TJiero Is an - atmosphere' of
solid dignity and tho visitor feels as ho
enters the doors that there Is an Institu
tion which llko Tennyson's poem "runs
on forever." Tho truBt company handles
a vast number of estates, with a com
bined value of nearly $200,000,000. In con
nection with tho administration of these
estates It Is called upon to perform many
varied duties, some of which can hardly
be reconciled with the general atmos
phere of dignity which prevails In the
home office. An Inventory of several of
the estates shows that as executor, or
trustee, It Is called upon to continue) the
operation of slaughter houses, meat mar
kets, groceries, millinery establishments
and many odds and onds of curious as
slgnments. Iti Its custody there are so-
called "spendthrift trusts" where the
trust company Is Instructed by tho maker
of the will to allow the extravagant son
son or daughter only a certain definite
Income, and no amount of persuasion can
movo the corporation,' which In that case
becomes a corporation without 'a soul
for tho good of Its clients.
It Is also related how one day last
spring the trust officer picked up the
telephone and a voice at tho other end
said: "Please, send a blumbber to figs
our bath tub. It soon be tlmo now to use
him agen " The bath tub had performed
service as a coal bin all winter, but the
trust company promptly responded to the
call through Its real estate department
because It was part of Its duties to keep
a house In repolft which belonged to a
trust estate In Its keeping. What Is true
of this one trust company applies to
nearly every big Institution of' this kind
which la charged with tho duty of" loy
uliy fulfilling tho Instructions of thOBo
who have joined the shadowy army of
the past.
HILL LINE OFFICES EMPTY
Where 350 Clerks Once Worked but
Twelve Now Remain.
MANY SECURE WORK IN OMAHA
About Twelve Hotline to Desert ThU
City mid Secure Other Employ
ment with I.ocnl Concerns.
The third and fourth floors of the Ddr-
llngton headquarters are practlcilly de
serted. Where heretofore SSO officials and
clerks have. been employed only Claim
Agent Moore and his twelve men remain.
"the equipment of the auditing departmol't
has been packed away In freight cor 3
and la on Its way to Chicago.
Last night at 7 o'clock a second No.
12 left for Chicago, carrying such
eltrks as have concluded to leave Omaha
and continue In the servlco of ths lll'i
company. This truln consisted of four
sltepers and the same number of baggag'j
cars Tho sleepers carried eighty to
lOy people and the baggage cars carried
personal effects, typewriting inacninej
and such records as will be required bo-
fore those sent by freight reach thoir
destination.
When the Hill order to disintegrate tns
local headquarters of the Jlurllngton ruid
came It was believed that practically ,'l
of tho 330 clerks would remain loyal t '
the company and go to Chicago. Dissat
isfaction at once set In and spread with
great rapidity, with the result that whu.i
the offices were closed Friday night Aud
ltai Durkee found less than seventy-fivo
clerks who would accompany him. Mon
ot the heads of departments especially
those who had worked up to their present
positions, agreed to more, feeling that
helr salaries with tho company In Chi
cago wouiu utj larger man tney wouin
rtcelve Jt they remained here ant se
cured other positions.
The clerks generally when they wcrs
notified ot, the proposed move commenced
to look about and have been quitting tnc
Burlington, as fast as they found other
tnploynier)t. At this time It Is said that
more than S0J of tho young men , and
women have found permanent employ
ment at salaries higher than paid by the
Burlington.
The revolt of more than 300 clerks who
have refused to Join tho Hurllngton in lU
movo to OhleaKO, It Is said will crlPP.
the efficiency of tho auditing department
for several months. A large, number' cf
them were experts In their particular Imns
and It will take a long time for new peo
ple to become familiar with the buslnou
and the details.
