THE UNION PACIFIC ROAD.
hts Officials Desire Some Informatit
LAY GonldSa Rinnraa

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-The Times has the
following special from Washington City
Railroad Commissioner Armstrong just now
seems to be the objective point of great
deal OF discussions In financial circles. There
are and have been for some time certain
mysterious movements among officials of the
Union Pacific road, and it is rumored they
are on the anxious seat waiting to find out
just what Armstrong proposed to say In his
Forthcoming annual report. The commits
sioner is at present absent from Washington.
he is on tour of inspection over the line OF
the Union Pacific, and, it is reported here,
has already obtained possession of vast
fund of information, which will be made pub
lie at the proper time. The latest movement
on the part of the officers of this corporation
is the preparation of statement by Charles
Francis Adams, Jr., in which he will bring to
light several arguments to support the
theory that the government owes the road
money instead Of the road being indebted to
the government, as is popularity supposed.
Especial stress will be laid on the fact that
there is a dispute between the government
and the road as to payment for carrying the
mails but it is expected that the forthcoming
statement will be onlinously silent on the
question of bonded indebtedness, leased
lines, and such topics. 1t is to head off any
unfavorable mention of these facts that
the agents of tho railroad are devotine
their patient care and attention. President
Adams report will not be published until he
knows exactly what Commissioner Arm
strong proposes to say i'll his. 1t is signif-
can't fact that while the Central Pacific rail-
road announces its earnings each month, the
Union Pacific has pursued an entirely differ
ent course. Commissioner Armstrong; re-
port, therefore, is awaited with interest on
all hands. Those thinking of investing in
the stock are waiting for definite and indis-
putable information in relation to it. Presi-
dent Adams and his brother officials are
anxious to know just how much truth is to be
given to the public, and it may be safely as
serted that they will govern their actions &C
cordingly.
New YORK, Sept 15.-The following was
received by prominent banking house,
whose friends are largely interested in the
Union Pacific:
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD OFFICE-GEN- |
TLEMEN: In answer to your communication |
would state that to pay all the fixed charges, |
taxes and the amount due the United States |
under the Thurman act; to pay all the sink
ing fund charges, and pay an annual divi-
dend of Z per cent on the stock, requires |
$3.50, 900 net per month. The land sales this !
year to July l amounted to 2, ,425, ,O9S acres, |
equal to $7,421 1928.

TELEGRAPRlC TROUBLES.
The Dissolution of tho Pool Recent,
Formed.

Formed.
New YORK, Sept. 15.-The dissolution of
the telegraph pool formed in July by the
Baltimore & Ohio, Bankers and Merchants
and Postal Telegraph companies was dis
cussed with much interest in downtown
business circles Friday. The belief was
quite general that the constantly &C
cumulating financial troubles of the
Bankers and Merchants will eventually
drive that company to the wall, and its
property will be quietly bought in for song
by the Baltimore & Ohio company. 1t was
stated Friday by persons connected with the
various telegraph companies interested that
no application has yet been made for a
receiver for the Bankers and Merchants
q. D. Roberts, one of the directors of the
Postal, said that when the Postal company
agreed to help the Bankers and Merchants
financially it was represented that the float
ing debts amounted to about 100000. Sub
sequently it had been discovered that the
debts were double that figure. Mr.. Roberts
thought there would have to be a radical
reorganization of the Bankers and Mer-
chants before any permanent pooling con-
tract could be carried into effect with that
company as one of the parties.

VIII Deepen the Canals.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 15.-Robert E. Doug
lass, G. T., the commissioner appointed by
the Dominion government to investigate the
report upon the best means of dealing with
the Canadian canal system, has submitted a
report which it is understood the government
has adopted and will act upon. He thinks
the success of the st. Lawrence route depends
upon increasing the depth of water,
and, unless the improvements of the St. Law
renee water may keep pace with the con-
struction of the Canadian Pacific railway and
the settleme It of the country, the trade of the
Canadian Northwest will seek foreign chan
nels eastward and southwark via st. Paul
Milwaukee and Chicago. The necessary ap-
preparation for deepening the canal to four
teen feet will probably be asked at the next
session Of the Dominion parliament IS

There is problem that is the rage AL over

have been handed in, but few are alike. The
problem is this: A town agent begins the
year and has to start with from the previous
year So, PIT in cash. At the same time he
has turned over to him in liquors $57. He
adds to his stock $59.91 in liquors. His
sales for the year are SHOPS. At the end
of the year he has on hand $31.97 worth of
liquors His salary is 1926, which he draws
himself. How does his account stand at the
end of the yearP How much and what does
he owe the town or the town owe him9
A correspondent says of the above: ''This
is the same problem, with, think, the very
identical figures that was published In the
COURIER years ago between '55 and 90, just
after the days of the Maine law agency mere.
There was great interest here over the
problem and many solutions were handed in.
Alfred H Terry, now General Terry, Cat that
time having his Office In the old State House),
the late Charles Robinson, ex Tax Collector
VIM, Hillhouse and the late Mr.. George
Beckwith, the almanac maker, were among the
prominent citizens who sent in solutions
which were published in the COURIER, and,
like the Collinsville solutions. few were alike
Mr.. HilIhouss sent the problem to John
Patterson, the mathematician, OF Albany,
who died about SIX months ago, and Mr..
Patterson sent solution which Mr.. Hill
house has now among his archives. AS many
as dozen solutions were published. Inc late
stMont' Woodward was editor OF the CoUR-
Ter at the time, and the public entered into
the contest!with great interest"
