From carefully prepared estimates, based upon
the amount of business done by the companies
now in operation, and giving them equal share
OF the business between competing points, the
company confidently believe that large and re-
munerative dividends can be made and they
further believe that, taking into consideration the
great advantages which they will possess in a
short and direct route, they viii be able to secure
nearly all the business along the line, which will

one of the best in the country. 1t passes through
a large number of important cities ndtowns where
commercial intercourse is large and rapidly in
creasIng. The country along the river is receiv-
ing constant accessions of wealth and population,
and these viii bring an increase of trade which
must correspondingly add largely every year to
the business and profits of the company. Authe
old telegraph companies throughout the country

a few wealthy individuals owning nearly all the

pose that n company, owned and managed by lis
patrons, with its lines so desirabIy located, and
with limited amount Of stock, can at least do
equally as well.

much harm as the fear on the part of
