500 And 50. SHORE.
Gratifying Reports Of These Two
Railroads.
THE EARNINGS ARE GREAT
What the Wall Street Journal nnd

Say of the Roads.

New York, Aug. THE small boom in
500 shares this week appears to have
been due to the very satisfactory reports
of earnings. In, commenting on the mat
ter the Wall Street Journal says:
The statement of earnings for the twelve
months issued by the 500 line is one of the
most remarkable Of the year. The increase
OF I.7o',s sl2 in gross, or about SO per cent, is
accounted for altogether by the tremendous
wheat crop in the northwest, Manitoba and
the Canadian territories. The 500 line is
essentially one-crop road, and prospers or
goes, wanting according to the record of that
crop. There Is every indication to date that
this year will see a repetition CT the crop of
last year in the northern wheat region, though
1t is as yet too early to foretell with any ac-
curacy the crops Of the Canadian west. 1t
follows that the 500 people are looking for
ward to another season of heavy gross earn
1ngs. particularly the acreage under wheat
has greatly increased In the territory served
by, the Canadian Pacific.
The very small increase of S377 200 in ex-
penses must be taken as indication that the
management is quite willing to make hay
while the sun Shines and show net earnings
somewhat beyond what wise conservatism
would permit. Operating expenses for the
year are considerably under 80 per cent Of
gross earnings. Allowing for the claim that
extraordinary conditions make 1t possible to
operate this road very economically, it is
still quite clear that great lberality in
the matter Of appropriation for maintenance
OF way and improvements has been allowed
to interfere with the net result of the years
operations.
Tho net shows au increase of about Is
per cent, or $1,32S022. Last year the road
showed surplus after charges of $327,S74, or
%6 per cent on the preferred stock. Allow
Ing that charges are the same this year as
last, this surplus will be increased to 81 ,655
S96 this year-equal to the full per cent on
the preferred and about 8 per cent on the
common. There has been much talk of the
payment OF dividend on the preferred and
the stock has risen accordingly, but the di-
rectors show inclination to hurry in the
matter. preferring to build up a substantial
surplus against possible crop failures before
beginning any distribution of profits.
The Commercial Advertiser devotes
considerable space to both the 500 and
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic in
Its financial columns. 1t says:
The South Shore and the 500.
The Canadian Pacifcs dependencies in the
United States make an excellent showing for
the fiscal year just ended. The Duluth South
Shore & Atlantic reports an increase in gross
earnings Of s206,359 and of net earnings OF
s133,420 for the year ending 1902 over the pre-
ceding year. The comparative figures are AZ

Fixed charges, taxes and rentals amounted

charges do not increase for the year just
passed, the surplus applicable to dividends
will be s1,635,675 which is equal to the full

railway Is good example Of what can be
done by a railway management in making
increased profits when increased traffic de-
veops. The ratio of operating expenses to
gross earnings has been reduced from 56
per cent in 1901 to Al per cent In 1902, the
increase in gross earnings in the two years
being 81 TOE, ,312, while the increase in operat-
Ing expenses was only $377,290. There are
undoubtedly many other railroads in this
country on which the management could make
q showing equally good if those in finan-
cial control desired it. There is no question
but that the actual cost of transporting four
tons Of freight Is less than the cost Of trans
porting three tons plus SO 1-3 per cent. 1t has
become the custom and the rule with many
managements to increase the appropriation
for the repair and maintenance departments
exactly to the proportion OF the increase in
traffic. In fact it Is hardly stating it too
strongly to say that this increase in expense
has been greater than the increase in busi-
ness. II the stocknoldeEs, We're assured tna'
Mt all times the increased expenditures were
made with as great care as the smaller ex-
pendtures, they would hardly have cause tc
complain. But the fact is that increased ap-
preparations frequently mean a relaxation
Of the efforts of minor officials or an increase
in salary list without any, increase in effec,
tive proft-producing work. Judging from
the reports quoted above, the Canadian Pa
cifc stockholders are assured of all the in
come possible from their properties and ar
accounting made in such way as to show
actual earning capacity. .-~sS -

The Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic failed
for three years to-, earn its interest charges,
and the deficit was supplied by the Canadian
Pacific company. In 1901 the total amount
which had been advanced for this purpose,
according to the report Of the Canadian Pa
cihc company, was s2s6.213. 1t would appear
that the Duluth road is now in position to
pay It's fixed charges and begin to repay the
advances made by the Canadian Pacific.

Westerner Tanned Her.

Five families had succeSsively volunteered to provide a home for the little "slum" girl and the fifth had just sent her back to the arms of the benevolent or ganization which had charge of her. According to the reports from these families, she was not only an infant fury but mer- dacious sneak, and the agent vhO was taking her back to the city felt discouraged at the prospect of having to misrepresent in or der to make a sixth family take her.
 - A big, broad jawed man, friendly with the spirit of the west, sat down beside him. Need- ing some one to share his trou. bles, the agent told him the whole story.
 'I'll take that little girl" said the stranger. The agent gasped.
 "You know I told you what a terror she is," he said.
 'I know," said the man, "but I think she and 1 can get along all right. I don't know that 1 told you I was in the stockrais- ing business. I've got colt on my farm that nobody can man. age but myself. We'll, that little girl has eyes just like that colt. As soon as we get to the station, if you're willing, I'll telegraph ofmy wife and tell her about it. :"
 The sequel of the story is the most satisfying part of it. The stockman's prediction proved true. The little girl was perfect ly happy in her new home, and the couple have recently adopted her and legally given her their name. New York Post.

Standing on the Bias.

During the trial of a street railway damage suit in one of the circuit branches of the Su- preme court of the District of Columbia a few days ago an inn portant eye witness of the acci- dent took the stand in the per- son of an elderly colored man. The plaintiff had been injured while the car was at a street crossing, and one of the &ttor- neys was endeavoring to elicit from the witness just where the latter was standing at the mo- ment the plaintiff was struck by the car.
 "As I understand you," re- marked the attorney, after a number of questions had been asked, "you were standing at the street corner dlagonally opposite the point where the accident oc- cured"
 "No, sir, I wasn't" declared the witness. "I guess 1 was standing kinder sorter on the bias from the spot. Washing ton Star.

Other One WouIdn't Care.

Maurice Barrymore the actor once journeyed from a hunting camp, where he was a guest, to a small Maine town for the pur- pose of seeing Hamlet" acted by company of transformers. The performance wss so bad as to be fascinating, and Barrymore and his friends remained until the end. AS they made their way to the village hotel one of the party asked the actor how companies of the kind manag d to exist.
 Don't know, said Barrymore, ''but they serve an educational purpose.
 "They do? How?"
 "Well, if I had the time and money, I'm sure I could decide the Shakspeare-Bacon contro- versy after seeing tonight's per- formance.
 "Why, Barry, what was there tonight to make you think so?"
 My dear fellow, if the bodies of Shakespeare and Bacon were disinterred you'd find that the real author of Hamlet had turned in his grave. "-Philadelphia Times.

A Joke That Failed.

Jack Reynolds, one time local newspaper man and now mana ger or something at the Duquesne Garden, loves a joke.
 Long time ago, when he used to cover the south side for an afternoon paper, he and Tom McQuaide, then sergeant at No. 7 police station, put up a job one of many-on David Sitzler, still sergeant there.
 Dave had a pair of new shoes of which he was inordinately proud. They were little tight, he admitted, but he guessed they would be all right in a few days. Jack and Tom began to tell stO- ries of the terrible things that had happened to men who wore tight shoes, until Dave, thor oughly alarmed, announced his intention of giving them away, which was all that the jokers had been striving for.
 Dave showed up the next day with a pair of old shoes.
 "Give the others away" quer- jed the jokers, joyonsly.
 Nope" said Dave. "Sold them for half a dollar more'n 1 gave for them"
 "Guess I'll meander forth to F'ifth," said Jack, which was the way he daily announced his in- tention of returning to the office. Pittsburgh Gazette.
