WIS. CENT. SURPLUS.
Shows a IL Per Cent for the Year
on Preferred Stock.
ITS COUNTRY HAS DEVELOPED
A Definite Dividend Policy VIII
Hardly Be Adopted TIL Its
Continuance Is Assured.

1t is stated on the authority of the
chairman that the surplus Of the Wis
consin Central for the year ending June,
80, 1902, after charges, will be over $475,-
000 This compares with surplus, after
charges, of $4,000 last year. The sun
plus shows about Az per cent on the pre-
ferred stock. The full annual report of
earnings will not be made public for
some weeks. An official says OF the year
just passed:
The chief cause Of the handsome increase
in earnings this year is the fact that our
country has developed and our field of COM
nerce consequently widened. few years
ago our traffic was nearly all timber, lumber
and other forest products. 1t is fact that
these still continue to be our biggest asset,
but our trade in flour, ore and farm products
iu increasing in Importance year by year.
This year Ashland traffic in ore and the
return trade in coal were important items
In our earnings sheets. With the advance
that is certain to come in the iron Industries
OF that country, there must be good future
for this trade
We especially proud. however, of our
progress in Minneapolis and st. Paul traf-
fc. The across Wisconsin, division has
attracted the flour trade Of the former city.
The opening Of the link joining the main line
to a Lake Michigan harbor has undoubtedly
made Wisconsin Central the fayorite foul
route to the east Freight is ferried across
Lake Michigan and distributed among the
many Michigan lines. Return freight con-
sists OF coal, coke and general merchandise
from the middle and eastern states.
The policy of the management is to put all
available funds into the road, and this poll
cy has resulted in the establishment of the
property on a strong operating basis. The
road has splendid terminal facilities, equip
ment plants. depots and other necessities
During the year the car and engine shops
have been consolidated at Fond du Lac,
move that will result in more satisfactory
and economical operation Of both plants
There is nothing we are more proud of than
we are Of these plants, which are as modern
as they can be made and adequate for many
years to come.
do not think there will be any immediate
change in the policy. Strict conservatism
combined with liberality where the property
Is concerned, has been the watchword ant
I think will continue So We believe tha
a road situated as is ours should be prepared
to handle all traffic in the Immediate future
and should also anticipate great increases
For that reason our shops, ETC., are biz
enough for much larger road. I do no
believe that there is any intention to adop
dividend policy until 1t is assured that it
continuance will be possible without detri
ment to he properly
It may be worth nothing that Wal
street is growing certain day by day tha
some strong interest is buying the roat
and taking it out of the market.
