An Enormous Sum Spent In Rebuusinr

and Re-equipping the II. s. q. X. n.
The receivership of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, which has Just come
to close, was remarkable in MANY
ways. Messrs. Cowen and Murray did
not follow precedent, but went ahead
and placed the property in first-class
shape, instead of attempting to main
tain 1T In the condition that they found
1T. or course the receivers were up-
held by majority OF the security hold
ers and the court, but the Baltimore
and Ohio receiyership marked an epoch
In such affairs that will be historical.
The vast sums expended were put out
In W and 81, when trade was at a low
eDb and money scarce. During their
administration the receivers purchased
1880 box cars, 6,75l wooden gondola
ears, 5000 pressed steel cars, $40 mis-
cellaneous freight cars, postal, express
and dining car equipment, at a total
cost OF Sl7,OOO,000. The ZIG locomotives
cost nearly two and one-half millions.
The steel rail purchased amounted to
l23,0lO tons, costing $2.142,152, and
there were bought over 100000 cross
ties, costing Sl,200,000, and 75O. DOE
cubic yards OF ballast amounting to
S525, 200. The new steel bridges aggre-
gate in value S750,000, and fully as
much more was spent in improving the
several terminals, erecting new build
ings, reducing grades and changing the
alignment. The maintenance of way
payrolls, or the amount paid directly
to men employed in making improve
ments on the tracks, ETC., in three
years was nearly twelve millions of
dollars. The total amounts to about
$35,OO0,000. Of which about $4,000. 600
were secured by the issuance of receiv-
ers' certificates and the balance
through car trusts, earnings from the
property and from the reorganization
managers. Most of the purchases of
equipment and rail were made when
material was low In price and manu-
featuring concerns were In great need
OF orders to keep their plants In op-
Grafton. Steel rails are worth now from
Sc to SO ton more than when the re-
ceivers made their purchases, and To-
comotives have advanced from 81, 900
to $4,000 In price. Tho equipment
alone, II purchased today. would cost
So, 000.000 more and the other improves
ments 81 900 900 more. President Cow
en- Is authority for the statement that
the new company intends spending
! S10000,000 more In improvements in
the next year or two.

A few years ago hard times made
the Western farmer deny himself
everything save the barest necessities
of life. Then came the great crop
year of 1897 and with II story.
Nebraska farmer carried n mortgage
of 81 200 on his property and 1t was
a burden hard to contend with. The
wheat crop In 81 was enormous and
prices We're high. He appeared at the
bank shortly after harvest, pulled out
$4,000 and asked for loan OF 5000 to
enable him to cancel the mortgage
note. The banker, who held the note,
urged him not to bother about IT, but
go and buy cattle with his $4,000, feed
his corn crop and In that way get the
maximum for his product. mo, sir;
replied the farmer, Il want to pay
that note now. Then when | harvest
the corn crop I'm goin' to pay you back
that 5000 | just borrowed, and then
do you know what I'm going to do?"
and his honest face beamed all over
with pleasure. I'm going to buy
buggy" This little incident tells the
story OF thousands of others out In
Nebraska, and the fact that during the
past six months one concern (The
Slower Carriage Company Of Chicago)
have shipped to one firm in Omaha
alone one hundred and thirty carloads
Of buggies and carriages, averaging
about 20 to the car, makes 1t very evil
dent that prosperity Is with Nebraska.
1t Is a wonderful state with great re-
sources. and the crops of the past few
years have put Nebraska farmers In
an enyiable position.
