GERMANlA TRUST FINANCES
CALIFORNIA ELECTRIC ROAD.
Local Financial Institution Secures
Capital for Constructing Hallway
in Santa Clarn Valley.

II was annnouced yesterday that the Ger
mania Trust Company is financing the San
Jose and Los Gatos Interurban Railway
Company of California. That institution, in
connection with Tracy & Co. of New York
and Chicago, organized a syndicate to un-
derwrite the entire issue of the new road.
Construction of the road commenced re-
Gently, when the first spike was driven,
with considerable ceremony. at San Jose.
When completed 1t will connect that city
with Los, Los Gatos, passing through Campbell
and Saratoga and the famous Santa Clara
Valley of California. in which is the richest
fruit land in the world.
The total bond Issue at present Is $780,
COO, there being held in reserve by the Ger
mania Trust Company as trustee, $500, 900
additional bonds for future extensions. The
capital stock of the road is 81, 900. Co., divided
into shares of a par value of 800 each.
II is said that the capital for the enter
prise is being supplied, two-thirds by East
ern and the balance by California capital
lists. The money was secured almost entire
ly by the Germania Trust Company. and 1t
IS understood that an unusually large profit
is assured that institution as a result Of
the transaction.
Thousands of tons of fruit are annually
raised in Santa Clara Valley. through which
the road runs. most OF which is now hauled
in wagons to the railroads.
in addition to its<lssenger t1affic The
latter will be large because of the number
or tourists and the regular Inhabitants, the
latter amounting to 5000 per mile
The Germania Trust COmpany's part In
the enterprise is looked upon by local finan-
Gers and business men as another evidence
Of the push ard activity of ST. Louis finan-
cial institutions. Several rust companies
in San Francisco and other cities We're in
competition for the business. but were un-
successful against the Germania.
The road will at first be eighteen miles
lcrg, but 1t is the intention later to extend
1t from San Jose to the Pacific Coast at
san Francisco Bay. thus bringing the Santa
Clara Valley in direct steamship connection
with the Golden Gate

eEafApproprfAtion WIN Soon begin.
Washington. July s.-withih' a short time
Secretary Shaw Of the Treasury will begin
to turn over the 100000 appropriated fer
the st Louis Exposition, by Congress, and
which will represent the largest sum of the
kind contributed by the Federal Treasury
Reports have been current since the de-
parture OF President Francis from this city
that the appropriation may be tied up be-
cause the st. Louis corporation has not
fully qualified, under the conditions by
which the 100000 are made payable. One
of these conditions is that the commission
must show that 49, o0O.0O0 have already BEEN
spent upon the Exposition buildings and
grounds before any part of the Government
contribution Is conveyed.
Governor Francis stated, on the occasion
Of his recent visit to Secretary Shaw. that
already 100000 had been appended and
that within short slime the amount would
be up to the total required.
Secretary Shaw stated this evening that
SO far as he knew there would be no COM
plication in the delivery Of the congress
sional appropriation to the st. Louis COM
pany. He stated that the amount would not
be paid in bulk, but as the vouchers came.
This will make the Secretary of the Treas
ury kind of ex-officio supervisor OF the
st. Louis Exposition in order to observe the
provision of Congress that the money be
spent for Exposition work.
