The Oceanic Mystery.

! What's the matter with Oceanic? The
| stock of that steamship company has
been going down steadily and unstead-
lily for many months. A year and a
half ago one could not buy much
Oceanic for s1O5 a share. Three days
ago the stock was sold for 81. drop
of nearly a hundred points in that time
Now, what's the trouble. The Spreck-
els line has had no disasters, has lost
no ships, and there has been no panic
in general transportation stocks. The
rumor that the Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany is depressing the stock to buy
control does not seem true. Certainly
the Santa Fe could not have hoped to
send Oceanic below $25. at which price
it was offered less than three weeks
ago, and there has been no heavy buy
ing for single interest as far as 1 can
ascertain. Doubtless the Santa Fe
could use the Oceanic line for carrying
passengers and freight to Hawaii but
1t is hardly likely that the Santa Fe
wants to so into the Australian and
New Zealand trade, as there does not
seem to be much money in it. The
Oceanic Steamship Company has cap
itaI stock of %, 900 shares of par value
of 500 each, or a total of s., 500, 900. A
bonded debt of the same amount draws
. per cent year. The bonds are below
or at par. whereas they were sold at
sos or $40 not long ago. BY the last
monthly report the company owes John
d. Spreckels & Brothers 1912, 057 on an
overdraft. Interest on the bonds is due
this month. This will increase the
overdraft, and very soon unless affairs
take an unexpected turn, the amount
due SpreckelS will equal the market
value Of the Oceanic company's prop
erty. Spreckels might then take over
the line, and might sell it to whom he
pleased. This is the reasoning of those
who believe the Santa Fe covetS the
line. Others argue that the Spreckels
viii not play into the hands of the
Santa f'e, as it would naturally remove
the agency of the Oceanic company OUT
Of their hands. and decrease largely
the business of their firm. Whatever
the situation is, it seems to me that
II one can buy oceanic under S25 with
a view to holding on to it, ii is a good
buy- Assessments to the total of SI7.75
can be called on the stock still and
may be. but withal there are POSSIBLE
ties in the future which would assure
the Oceanic great profits under conser-
vative management. backed by sub
stantial capital With the tourist bust
ness to Hawaii and the Orient increas-
ing at rapid pace. il seems foolish to
suppose that a line which has paid
handsomely in years past would not
again be dividend Garner if handled
rightly.-S. F. Town Talk.

STATEMENT BY JUDGE BOARD
Regarding County Finances, Schools
COnyiets, Roads and Bridges.

To the Voters of Brazos County:
In announcing myself for re-elec-
tion 10 the office Of County Judge
OF Brazos County at the November
election, desire 10 say 10 the people
OF the county that no words have
ever been coined that could express
my gratitude 10 the people OF the
county, and high appreciation Of the
many honors and kindnesses that
they have bestowed upon me,
and that have had but one ambi-
tion, viz: TO serve the people and to
improve the county in every way
possible until our comfy shall be-
come the pride Of all our citizens.
When announced for County Judge
In 1898, ! went before the people on
four distinct issues, viz: first that
/ would give the county an econom.
ical, business-like administration
pay II out of debt and put II upon
sound financial basis; second, that |
would take the county convicts out
of the hands OF private individuals
and put them upon the public roads
of the county. by this means hoping
TO greatly improve the public high
ways; third that would do every
thing In my power 10 improve the
public free schools Of the county;
fourth, that when court was In ses-
sion | would promptly try TO dispose
of the docket, thereby saving the
county great deal Of money and
the people who attend court unnec-
essary delay and worry. Upon the
record nave made upon these issues
/ am willing to be judged and stand
or fall.
First-In 1898 when I was first
elected the county had a floating
debt Of outstanding warrants and un-
paid accounts Of something like
twenty thousand dollars, many of
these accounts being several years
old the warrants or script Of the
county being discounted at large
per cent. This debt has all been paid
off and discharged until now every
person having claims against the
county is promptly paid the cash,
giving the county service and
goods Mt the very lowest cash prices.
This has been accomplished notwith-
standing the county has been infested
with small pox during almost the
entire time, which has cost the
county great deal Of money. The
fund Of the county had been
entirely exhausted, not dollar in
Il; we have now In the sinking fund |
over ten thousand dollars 10 pay on
bonded indebtedness Of the county. |
Second-The county convicts have
been worked upon the public roads
now for about three years and / be-
Ileve that all fair minded men will
admit aud concede that the roads
and bridges OF the county are by far
In better condition than they have
ever been before since the county |
was organized, although we have
suffered from the most severe storm
and overflow in the history Of the
destroying the
bridges and roads of the county.
Third-We have about eighty pub
