ROAD MAKES REPORT
In spite Of Strike Earnings Have Sub
Etantially Increased.
ANTHRACITE PRODUCTION IS MUCH LESS
Company Buys Many Tons Of Coal and
Sells Fewer by Nearly n MIL
1IOn-LarRe Expenditure
Promised.

PHILADELPHIA, oct. S.-The board Of
directors Of the Reading company met to-
day and approved the report for 1901 1909.
which will be submitted at an adjourned
meeting next Monday.
The report, which embraces the opera
lions Of the Reading company, the Phila-
delphia & Reading railway and the Phila-
delphia q Reading Coal and Iron company,
gives the net earnings Of the three com.
panies before payment of the Reading COM
pany's dividends and the general mortgage
sinking fund as 1885, 26. as compared with
81, s6s, Os7 for 1901.
The surplus Of the three companies
amounted TO 81, 374.s $50. which, with the &C
cumulated surplus, makes the total 1885,
614.
Receipts show Increase.
The gross receipts of the railway COM
peny increased s1,171 1854 over the previous
year, Notwithstanding the loss of anthra-
cite tonnage in May and June, and the
surplus for the year increased 1868, 1911, but
the payments on account of fixed charges,
taxes, insurance fund, equipment renewals
and improvements we're $685., COL less than
the previous year.
The tonnage OF anthracite decreased from
10, 523, s91 tons in 1900 1901 to 9,465, 953 tons
this year. a loss of 1,O57,93S tons, or 1905
per cent, and the tonnage Of bituminuos
coal increased from 5,01s, 491 tons to 6,OS7,-
0sS tons, a gain Of LOGS, 597 tons, or 21.2s

increased from $12, S91, SO7 to {12, 4S6, 1853, a
gain of $44, S51.
Anthracite Production Less.
The total production OF anthracite coal
from and owned and leased by the Coal
and Iron company was 6,198, 274 tons, a
decrease Of 1855, 500 from last years pro-
duction. The reduced production was the
result principally Of the miners strike in
augurated May IL, from which date to the
end Of the fiscal year the collieries were
idle.
The coal purchased aggregated 1904, 200
tons, an increase of $685. tons, and the
sales amounted. to $3.50, 1913. a decrease Of
$40, 6S8 tons. The cost of coal mined and
purchased was $2,02 $40, which is 20 BIO
cents higher than the. cost for the pre-
vious year, due to increased cost of labor,
additional expenditures, arising from
freshets, the strike and colliery improve
ments.
Announcement is made that the manage
ment has decided, in view of the steady
Increase in the consumption OF anthracite
and to meet the loss Of production caused
by lessened efficiency of labor. to expend
50, 900, 900 in the sinking OF seven new shafts
and the construction OF new breakers and
machinery.

IT'S TWIN BROTHER TO COLONIZATION
Politicians who Aid Dual Movements
VIII he Forever Revered by
Thankful Country They
Have Benefited,

COLORADO SPRINGS. Oct. S.-The ALL
absorbing topic among the delegates to the
National Irrigation congress today is the
question OF the proposed merger with the
Transmississippi Commercial congress.
The tendency on the part Of the delegates
to favor the merger is growing constantly
and there is little doubt in the minds OF
most observers as to the movement finally
proving successful. II is being strenuously
opposed by a strong faction headed by +. J.
Keisel of Ogden, Utah, on the ground that
irrigation should be maintained as an
issue OF itself, while the old leaders OF the
irrigation congress, headed by George Max
we'll of Chicago and John Henry Smith OF
Salt Lake, are as strongly in favor of the
merger on the ground that the irrigation
congress, in securing the passage of the
irrigation act, has accomplished its mis-
sion and should leave further matters in
the development Of the irrigation theory in
the hands Of the government officials, to
whom It now naturally falls.
An effort was made at the opening Of the
congress this morning by the opposition to
the merger to force the question to a vote
by shutting of further speech in. the re-
ports Of committees. The sense Of the con-
~vention was to some extent determined by
the voting Town OF this resolution.
WIN Aid Colonization.
Colonel Thomas Holland, national coloni-
cation secretary of the Salvation Army,
read a paper prepared by Commander
Booth Tucker. IS
He said: The fact that the present ire
rigation congress has included in it's de-
liberations. this great question of coioniza-
tion and has set it's imprimatur UPON its
possibility win undoubtedly place the sub
ject in an entirely new light before. the
country. 1t will give colonization an i'm
petus, the influence OF which will leave
its mark upon the generations to come.
Thus colonization, as the handmade of ir-
r~igation, will bring within the reach of the
latter new confidence and possibilities and
irrigation will prepare for colonization new
realms, while these combined sciences will
provide an immense home market, maxi
ing it easier for the masses of our popula-
tion to be and do good.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. ana when il is entirely
closed deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored Ia its
normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh. which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
