During July and August, summer months,
1t will be noticed that the earnings were
within few hundred dollars of each other,
and in September, during the quarantine,
this road, as well as others, sustained con-
siderable loss. The expenses during the
months of November and December show
an abnormal increase, which is accounted
for by extraordinary equipment repairs
having been made, and which will not
occur again for another year
Auditor Heibig's notation expresses much
qualification over the showing. The COM
pany's fixed charges in the form of in
terest on its bonds is only $4,000 per year.,
whereas the net income for the past six
months has exceeded that sum.
1t has been reported chat the road con-
templated some extensions through the
rjneries north of Kirbyville, but nothing
could be learned at the Houston headquar-
tiers with reference to 1t yesterday.

They Are Not Able to Regulate Free
TRANSPORTATION.
Austin, Texas, January 1.-THE rail
road commission today Issued the follow
ing order, which is of general interest:
Applications to railway companies, for
free transportation of persons, or reduced
freight rates for ministers of the Gospel
or railroad employees, or for any other per-
son on account of their avocation or call
ing in life, should not be forwarded 10 this
commission for consideration.
q. Because railway companies are au-
thorized under the law to give free passes
or excursion tickets to any one without
consulting this commission.
g. Because this commission can not
legally authorize reduced freight rates Tor
the carriage of property for any person on
account of his avocation or calling in life.
%. When household goods or other ef
fects have, by reason of long use, de-
creased in value. or when IL is necessary %
meet wagon haul or water competition,
the commission can authorize reduced rates
on such property, but in 70 case are we
authorized to consider the avocation of
shipper in fixing the freight rate"
