SOME INTERESTING FACTS
Showing the Relation of the Y. &
M. V. Road to the State of Mis-
SisSippi.


The annual report Of President
Stuyvesant Fish to the board of di-
reotors of the Yazoo and Mississippi
Valley raod of September Is, 1908,
shows the total mileage of that rail
road now to be 1 1852 81 miles, or c.
- miles more than last year, the in
creased length repre- 'enting the branch
from Lake CormoTant to Tutwiler,
put into service this year. Lines are
also being constructed from Bolzoni
to YaZoo City, from Mattson a Con-
vict Camp, and from Yarbrough to
Swan Lake
The report shows that since June
80, 1900, the company has issued
bonds to the amount of 81, S33, 814.0 OF,
and spent that sum in the improve
ment and extension of the railroad,
and thai within the same time the
company has paid out of its earnings
for back taxes in Mississippi the sum
of 81, 5S3, 116. 81. This payment was
the result of the litigation as to
whether or not the exemptions from
taxes granted to the original compan-
les consolidating into the present Y.
g. NJ. Y. railroad company were lost
by the consolidation. This back tax
money has enabled the state of Mis-
sissippi to build its new capitol with
out issuing bonds.
The current taxes of the company
paid the state, counties. towns, with
out reference to back taxes, have in
creased 10. 20 per cent since June 30,
1900, or from S177. 917 26 to 1902, 952. 26.
Since that dale the railroad company
has reduced its average passenger
fares from 2. "a cents per mile in 1900
to 2. 40 cents per mile in 1908, and its
average freight charges for fraights
carried per ton one mile from 9.35
mills to s. Is mills. The service rem
dered passengers and shippers has in
creased during this period more than
one half t55 90 per cent?, while it,
earnings have been $24S. 250. SO, or
1903 per cent less than they Were
three years ago. The losses due to
high water, increased cost CT mate~i-
al aud fuel, increased wag IS, increas-
ed taxes and increased service TO the
| public, together with maintenance o1
way and equipment made the earnings
last year only 81, 656, 925.49, which j
less than in any of the three years
preceding. All of the earnings, af
ter fixed charges and taxes. went Il
pay the interest on the bonds, and
nothing was received by the stock
holders.

POSSESSED AND WANTED.
Some Things That HattieSburg Has
and Some Others That Are
Wanted.

Although Hattiesburg, when the
age of the city is considered, is richer
in industries than almost any other
city in south Mississippi, has more
industrial wealth and promise more
prosperous citizenship. there are many
things which are not promised, ana
which are greatly needed.
In the possessed column, Hat
tiesburg has a board Of trade which,
in ability loyalty, eagerness to work
and Willingness to go to any strictly
honorable means for the betterment
of the condition Of their community
can hardly be equalled and cannot be
surpassed by any Mississippi city
within our knowledge. 1t is largely
through the efforts of this board OF
trade that Hattiesburg has achieved
so much within the past few months.
Hattiesburg has abont ten large saw
mills, all of large capacities and en-
ploying large numbers Of workmen.
There are ample facilities for. the ac-
commodation Of the big lumber ship
ments being made, as there are fouT
railroads running into the city, the
New Orleans and Northeastern, Gulf
and Ship Island, Mobile Jackson and

ready become rich through honest
gain are rapidly doing so. A com

Boys ReformatOry

humanity, but it is also full of econ

cause it is cheaper to keep boy four
or five Or six years at East Lake than
i would be to let him drift into
crime, when the state would have ID
handle him IN the courts and peni

he might do to other persons. A re-
formatory is, therefore, good economy.
and the state should not only add TO
the accommodations at East Lake SO
that Young white offenders may be
sentenced to it. but it should also aid
the establishment of reformaeory

both.
The legislature cannot look at this
matter in business light without
concluding it is better in every respect
to prevent criminallsy than it is to
i let it come on in full volume, when
it must be dealt with at great expense

On the other hand, we need most
of all, more residences and business
houses. The man who has invest

rent in this city, has yeritable mint.
Aside from this, we need more than
any other one thing. street railway

tory, furniture factory. and a cotton
factory, could also do we'll here. A
canning factory is to be established
here in the near future, and we want
farmers to raise such vegetables and
fruits as are needed in supplying
it. More barbershops, clothing stores,
groceries and like establishments
would do a thriving business. A
wholesale dry goods dealer could
make a fortdne in a short time by es-
tablishing such business here. In
fact, almost any industry that could
exist anywher, could thrive in shis

UNIFORM SIGNAL CODE
An Opportunity for Arizona's Legislature to
 Help the Miner.

Mining Reporter of Denver says a bill to establish a uniform code of bell signals for use in the mines in South Dakota will be presented when the legislature of that state convenes. It is measure that should be acted upon promptly, and the Arizona legislature might do we'll to consider the subject. In every state where the uniform bell signal system is compulsory it works smoothly, as when once learned errors are infrequent and danger to life is largely eliminated. There should be a uniform code of signals adopted by all the states where mining is done. Min CTS are seldom satisfied to remain in one camp or state for long periods, and the changing from one section with an adopted code to another with code even slightly changed is liable to cause an accident in which loss of life may be the result. In South Da- kota the proposed measure has the approval of both large and small ope- rators, and should become jaw early in the coming session.
