A general tumble in car movement all along
the line will be noticed, with the exception OF the
indianapolis & St. Lonis, and the increase on
this road is due the fact that high waters shut
them out of ST. Louis the preceding week for
three or four days. The general observance of
the Fourth of July by all roads accounts for
certain per cent. OF the decrease. Then there is
no flour or grain, comparatively speaking, going

The Bonded Indebtedness of Indiana Roads
SIPS, 100000.
The more cautious railroad and business men
are somewhat anxious regards the future OF
Indiana roads, and fears are entertained that
there has to be q further scaling down. of the
bonded debt OF majority of the roads in this
State. New roads are being built to parallel the
old roads, rates from year to year are steadily
being reduced, and with the division of business
the revenues are steadily falling short of expec-
tatiOns. The railroads of Indiana are bonded
for 1928, 100000 and stocked at $135, 900, 900.
With two or three exceptions Indiana roads are
paying their interest, but in many cases borrow
ing money TO do IL. But seven Indiana roads are
paying dividends, and it is intimated that two OF
three of these borrow the money to pay dividends
with; consequently any far-sighted man see
that there Will be an end to this borrowing
money to pay interest and dividends with,
while, with the building of roads and the
sharper competition, there is little prospect of
any large increase in earnings in years to come.
As a consequence, the fixed charges must be re-
duced to figure that the earnings of the road
can pay above operating expenses. At best,
there is little show that stockholders sixty
two of the sixty-nine Indiana roads will receive
any dividends on their stock in the near future,
II ever, unless there Is a general scaling down of
the bonded indebtedness of nearly every road in
the State.

been changed, and Chicago, the great city Of the

OF the commerce of the Northwest and South is
destined to pass over it. The roadhed, Track and

NOTABLE EVENTS.

This is not the day of small things in
America, but of wonderful achieve
ments in all departments Of human in
dustry.
II is chiefly wars and bloody con-
quests and revolutions that make the
history Of a country, but America is
making grander history through the
peaceful cOnquests of science than has
been written of any country or people
in all time.
On the 9th Of this month, the New
York and Brooklyn bridge, one of the
greatest triumphs of engineering skill
the world has seen, will be dedicated;
and on the same date will be opened at
the Chicago exposition building, rail-
way exposition which the local papers
declare will be the grandest special ex-
hibit ever held anywhere. 1t will re-
main open for a month, and will no
doubt be great educator of the public
with respect to one of the most power
full forces that enter into our civililza-
ton. There will be eight depart
ments, designated alphabetically,
each with its appropriate classifiea-
ton. Thus, department \ relates to
rolling stock, and has five classes,
namely: locomotives, cars, running
gear, interior furnishings for passenger
cars, and freight car appliances. Wood
working and iron-working are another
department, track goods third, metals
a fourth, stations, office apPurtenauces,
pumps and water station appliances a
fifth, oils, varnish and paint q sixth,
miscellany a seventh, and street railway
appliances an eighth. Among the in
teresting features will be an electric
railway running around the gallery,
to suggest the railway of the future.
AS there have been special exhibits of
agricultural products and manufacture
ir various parts of the country, We
wonder that q special railway exhibit
on any considerable scale has not been
thought Of before. The man who par
ticipates in the Brooklyn Bridge cera-
monies and goes thence to the Chicago
Exposition, will he compelled to admit
from what he has seen and what is =
gested to him that this is a great coun-
try after all, and that we can do almost
anything that we set out TO do.
