The foregoing statement does not
include the earnings for May. AS the
latter is understood to be heavy, there
is good reason for assuming that the
showing made by the Northern Pacific
on the close of its present fiscal year
will be remarkable in every respect.
There is less than $6.000000 interest
to come out OF the years earnings.
When added to the per cent dividend
on common stock, amounting to So
100000, and the 4 per cent dividend
on preferred stock, amounting to $3,-
600, 600, calls for an expenditure of &
$12, 200, 600, and this will be provided
for and more too at the close of May,
leaving June earnings for surplus.

SALE OF THE KAYSEE.
1t Means the Opening Up of a Great
Lumber Market.
The Forests Will be Developed-Cars Used by the
Santa Fe for Hauling Grain Will Return
Loaded With Lumber.

The announcement in yesterdays Post
OF the sale of the Kaysee road to the
Guls, Colorado and Santa Fe was topic
In railroad circles. 1t was matter of
surprise as well as an item of news to
railway people. When the Kaysee entered
into traffic agreement with the Southern
Pacific the people at Beaumont took 1t for
granted that the Huntington interests had
absorbed the Kaysee but were mistaken.
The owners of the Kaysee have made
most advantageous disposal of the road
from the standpoint OF the future. The
Kaysee will soon be into Jasper, which
will be the terminus OF the road during
the coming cotton season. Construction
is now under way from Jasper to San Au-
gustine. distance of fifty miles, but this
extension will not be completed until
spring. When finished. the total mileage
will be 15S miles. The ultimate destina-
ton of the road is Paris, where it Will
connect with the Santa Fe, Frisco, Texas
and Pacific and Texas Midland.
The road penetrates the heart of the
uncut pine forests of East Texas. 1t is
estimated that there are 100000 cars of
At 500 per car freight. this means $780,
o00, 900 In reveSue for the railroads which
have the long haul to the Northwest
1t is known that the Santa Fe is build
ing from Springer over to Silsbee, or some
other point on the Kaysee, and this extern
sion will be completed and tu operation
about the time the traffic agreement with
the Southern Pacific expires.
Under the management and as part of
the great Santa Fe system. the transaction
means the opening of q vast market foe
the pine forests of East Texas. The Santa
re runs through vast stretches of prairie
country which require the lumber. and
will thus bring the consumer and pro-
Queer nearer together. The cars which
carry the grain of the Northwest to the
gulf for export, instead of being hauled
back empty. will now be returned loaded
with lumber.
Mr. Kirby and his associates who dis
posed of the read will invest large sums
of money in developing the East Texas
lumber interests, as they own OF control
rs per cent of the standing timber along
and close to the line of the Kaysee. When
the panic was on few years ago and pine
lands were drag on the market, MI
Kirby and those associated with him, In
stead of losing faith, bought up all the
timber lands they could-and now they
propose to develop them.
The Houston daily post. [volume] (Houston, Tex.) 1886-1903, 1900-07-18

found innocence OF any knowledge OF the
Kaysee sale and purchase.
After this diverting interruption, Colo
mel Polk would not listen to any further
specula lions. and amy man with any
knowledge Of the Santa Fe mans way
OF doing things could see that the In
cident was closed. A man whom the
railroad commission of Texas can not in
duce TO talk. unless he is so inclined aud
comes OF his own accord to speak TO the
precise point, may be depended upon to
deity parry the prying questions OF a
newspaper man.
~
But this much the renorter knows of
his own motion: The Kaysee has been
purchased BY the Santa Fe and the Santa
Fe has a surveying party on the line of
construction somewhere between Cleye-
land and Silsbee. or between the Kay
sees terminus and some point over In the
direction of San Augustine San Angus
tine may not get the road. but It. Will
turn up somewhere thereabouts.
The Posts scoop on this item goes. and
these speculations are sufficiently cor
rect to provoke credulity in quarters
where men are wide enough awake to
see an elephant waltz across l6-foot
room.
