The average selling price seems low when it

is considered that credit is to be given for
breaking and putting in crop the lands of the
Red River valley. The company is liable for
rebate on breaking and cropping to the extent
of $253, 2l2 This amount deducted from the
amount OF gross sales leaves the average SELL
ing price of the land So. "a per acre over the
whole grant. Although sales were made very
generally through the entire grant, fully six
tenths were of lands in the Red River valley
and one-half in Polk county alone.
The rates for passenger and freight traffic
have been reduced on an average of Is per cent.
since the first day of January last, and it is the
intention of the management to still further
reduce these charges from time to time as the
increase of business may appear to warrant.
From the proceeds of land grant sales and
other real estate specially devoted to sinking
fund for the retirement of the first mortgage
bonds, the company has been enabled to reduce
its bonded indebtedness to the extent of $780,
200 during the first ten months of its operation.
This brief exhibit of the work of the st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba company and
the success which has attended it in the first
ten months of its existence justifies all that
was anticipated when the new company OBJ
tanned possession of its large property and
franchises. The great income of the road and
the large increase of land sales are alike evil
dences of the rapid growth of our State and of
the good management of the new company.
And the wisdom of the management is shown
by the investment of surplus revenues in i'm
provements and additions to the roadway and
other property of the CONTEMPLATING the
whole in the highest state of efficiency and
fairly keeping it up with the wonderful growth
of the great Red River Valley and with the de-
velopment of the business of st. Paul and
other trade centers tributary to the road. As
this company is in its personnel, as well as its
interests, a st. Paul and Minnesota company,
the people of the city and State may Justly be
proud of its successful operation and the en-
ergy and llberality of its management.
