a. writer, Ell. T. Newcomb, in the OctO-
Der Forum gives some startling figures
concerning the number Of railroads re-
gently placed in the hands of receivers
He says: *During the decade from the
beginning Of 1884 to the end of 1893, a.
34S miles Of railway. operated by 81 in
dependent corporations. and capitalized
at 49, S53, 371. 600, passed from the control
of stock holders into that Of receivers. OF
this total, 20, 476 miles 40 per cent or
the mileage), capitalized at $1.T5S, $780,
600 LAG per cent of capitaD was placed
in charge of receivers during tile year
ending Decem Der 81. 1898. The entire
railway mileage operated by re-
ceivers on that date was 40
279, and the par value Of it's stocks and
bonds 81, PIT, 656, 900, constituting % per
cent and 21 per cent respectively Of the
total railway mileage and capital in the
United States. During 1898, twenty five
railways, operating 1913 miles Of road,
and represented by $79, $4,000 of capital
stocks and bonds, were sold under fore
closure, while the number thus sold dur
ing eighteen years from 1876 to 1888 in
elusive was GIL, their aggregate length
81 .2S3 miles, and their capitalization So
2O9, 10000. The crop of foreclosures
that must inevitably follow the enormous
number of receiverships created during
1892 is not yet ready for harvest When
it's data become availa BILE they will afford
an appalling presentation of the financial
condition of a large portion of our rail-

FERRY SERVICE.
A Probable Change of
Timetables.
Improvement of the North Pacific
Coast Schedule" Owl Boats"
for Fair Visitors.

Extensive changes in the ferry time
table of the North Pacific Coast Railroad
Company are contemplated for the coming
spring and summer season. By the new
arrangements it is hoped to be able to so
improve the service of the entire system
that people of Marin County will be
able to visit the Midwinter Fair and enjoy
IL the knowledge that they do not have
thrush to catch the proverbi 'last boa"
1t has been unauthoritively stated. but
by good authority. that fourteen round
trips daily will be made between this city
and Sausaito, the last boat to leave this
side at IL 80 p. NJ. The probabilities are
that an attempt will be made to secure the
use of another steamer TO help out the
San Rafael until such a time as the ferry
boat of the company, under construction,
shall be finished.
Inquiry was made at the Office of the
company yesterday morning as to the pro-
posed plan OF the corporation.
Are you going To better your lines SER
vice TO Sausallto and San Rafael this COM
ing SUMMER"
Yes, vastly" was the reply. 1--WE have
not arranged any definite timetable as
yet, but the contemplated service will be
much better than that of last season.
Traffic Manager William +. Russell,
when interviewed, stated that a number of
changes in timetables and ferry service
were In contemplation, but that the COM
pany was not yet ready 10 make them pub
lie. Ut is too soon to talk about the sum-
mer schedule yet" said Mr.. Russell, pleas
antly.
But will not your change in time go
into effect on March l." queried the re-
porter.
Yes, but March is two weeks off," was
the answer.
There has been some talk about trying to
Induce the Southern Pacific Company to

months OF May, June and July, when it is
expected that the Midwnler Fair will be
