In the last ten days new industrial trusts have been formed, under New Jersey charter, of course, with an aggregate capitalization of $100,000,000, says the Kansas City Times.

Among the number is a new chewing gum trust by the manufacturers of Chicago, Louisville, Brooklyn and Cleveland, with a capital of $15,000,000. The purpose of this trust is to bankrupt the other chewing gum trust and confine the manufacturing of the stuff to the four cities named. What it really means is trust righting trust, with the bare possibility of both being wrecked. They have the best wishes of the people for great success along that line. The Pacific-American Fisheries company is a new food trust, with a capitalization of $50,000,000, and its purpose is to control the entire salmon outputof Puget sound and neighboring waters.

The companies in this trust controlled 70 per cent of the business before they combined, and now they propose to control the remaining 30 per cent by driving those who have it out of the business, and also to advance prices to where about $25,000, 000 of watered stock can rely upon handsome dividends.

My nerves became affected and I was almost blind for several months.

I am free from that, can be with my family, where all is pleasant, and he just a plain citizen. There la something so free and cordial in the hospitality of the west. The people have business energy in large measure but they don't figure anything by the standard of the dollar as in other places," "What have I on my ranches?
