OF
TIE 500 ROAD
EXTENSION is CARED FOR, SAYS
THE ROADS PRESIDENT.
New York Stock Exchange Asked to
List $4;S66,O0O 4 per Cent Bonds,
Bringing the Total Listed Bonds
j. Up to 500, 900, OOO-The Capitalize
ton per Mile.

The 500 Line extension has been
financed. This announcement was
made within the past week on the
authority Of President Thomas Lowry
in New York. Later, the New York
Stock Exchange was asked to list
$4,s66,ooO of the per cent bonds Of
the company, bringing the total listed
up to $4,000, 900.
This. mortgage, authorized in 1888,
was for $21, 100000 on the 500 miles
then existing, and at $4,000 a mile
for any additions. Out Of the $2l,OOO,-
900 sufficient was reserved to retire all
underlying bonds.
The road is now practically 1000
miles in length, 700 miles having been
added. The authorized amount Is,
therefore, nearly $35, 100000, includ-
ing the reserve to retire $8,545,00O
underlying bonds. Not including these
bonds, the. total amount available
would. be $26,455, 900. The company
has outstanding 25,05S,0O0 of these
bonds. The newly issued bonds repre-
scented in the $4,S66,000 now listed
neighborhood of $1,4O0,000, the rest
having been issued prior to June 80,
1903.
The company has fair market in.
London for these securities at about
10O-1O2. Most of the selling is done
in that market, where the Canadian
Pacific guarantee is as interest only.
The guarantee was Endorsed upon
$2,454,OO0 of the bonds during the
fiscal year 1903, representing the cost
of 122 ITO miles Of new road. This
amount Of bonds is included in the
$4,S66,O 900 now to be listed.
The company does not appear in
any hurry to list its bonds in the New
York market. In 1902 it listed enough
to bring the total listed up to $21, 949,-
900. The present listing will make
the total $26,S15,000. Apparently the
people who bought the bonds did not
care much whether they were an i'm
mediate delivery. on the New Y ork
Stock Exchange or not.
The new lines not yet completed,
or bonded under. the issues so far sold,
will add about ESQ miles to the $500
now practically in commission. At the
| same rate such an addition would
bring the total authorized bond issue
up to about $40,000,000, including re-
funding. With the 100000 of Sec
ond mortgage bonds, the total funded
debt would be $45,000,000 on 1,750
miles of road. or. a little over 25,5OO
per mile. Charges per mile, on the
completed system would, therefore,
be about $1,000 per mile. In 1903 the
charges were $1,304 per mile on a
funded debt Of $25,463 per mile. The
stock, now $14,269 per mile, will prob
ably not be increased, and will, there
fore, shrink to $4,000 per mile, max
! ing the total capitalization in the
lneighborhood Of 1880 per mile.

GOOD ROAD LEGISLATION
HOW TO SECURE 1T DISCUSSED
AT CONVENTION. - POINTED
VIEW OF PROFESSOR HOAG.

Professor w. r. Hoag,. head of the
civil engineering department Of the
university, said yesterday at the state
good roads convention: "A change Of
representation from a. certain legisla-
tive district in Minneapolis is neces-
sary before the good roads interests
can be effectively advanced thru the
Minnesota legislatures"
The statement was an emphatic one,
and is understood to refer to the
chairman Of the roads and bridges
committee of the house Of represen-
tatives. The suggested course is in
line with the policy outlined by the
association Of beginning it's propa-
ganda when the candidates declared
themselves and not waiting until
after election.
Senator A. o. Eberhart of Mankato
advocated securing the Endorsement
aid by the county political conven-
tions; then Representatives would be
less timid about giving their support
to the movement. One Of the criti-
cisms raised against he bill was that
"the people do not want it,
The resolutions Endorsed Legislative
action to make effective the amend
ment providing for state highway
commission and state aid, Endorsed
national aid in constructing highways
approved a change in the present
system Of road building by which road
taxes shall be paid in cash instead OF
labor y
A model constitution for county as
sociatiOns was submitted by President
Cooley. 1t was thought advisable tC
omit autona obile clubs among the list
Of those eligible to membership, in
consideration Of the prejudice Of some
farmers, but "all persons interested
being admitted no Individual will be
barred out.
G.. w. Cooley of Minneapolis was
reelected treasurer, and Professor
w. r. Hoag was elected secretary in
place Of George Z. Wilson. The invi-
tatlon to send delegates to- the ma
tional association meeting in St Louis
was accepted. and the following dele
gates were named: George w. Cooley,
James e. Elwell,. Nathan Butler, Pro
fessor W. M. Hayes, E. A. Everett

news from the front beyond General Zassalitch's account of fighting al Simoucheng on July 31 bears out the Associated Press explanation that the Japanese are halting to bring up sup plies. especially ammunition, of which a modern engagement entails an ex- traVagant use, and without which it would be impossible even for a vic- torCus army S0 follow up its success. The official estimate of a Russian loss of more than 1000 agrees with figures in belated dispatch from Lao Yang referring to the same fighting and which says that the Russians were full ly prepared to hold their positions when commanded to retire, which was carried out in perfect order. The tro- pical heat continues and there have been many sunstrokes.
 The receipt of General Zassalitch's dispatch was generally known today and gave rise to eXtravagant rumors of further fighting around Hai Cheng and several press dispatches were sent off describing a fresh battle be- tween the forces of General Zassa- fitch and General Oku. There is no apparent justification for such reports The best informed military authorities declare that there has been no fightine since the Russians fell back to- Liand iansian, Amping and Anshanshan.
