Santa Fe's Net Funded Debt II
$67, 154, 900.
Fifty Million Bond Issue Makes
Total $117,154,OOO.
EARNINGS INCREASE.
Seven Dollars Net Added for
Each Dollar of Fixed Charges.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
i'm Railroad Circles.

From June 80. 1896. to June 80,
1904, period of eight years, the Santa
Fe's net increase in funded debt was
$S7,154,000. Including the proposed
issue of $4,000, 900 convertible bonds,
the. total net issue since 1896 will be
SLIT, $4,000.
The total issue of new bonds has
been somewhat larger than this
amount. The increase in general
mortgage bonds was $50. 900, but
about 100000 other bonds were re-
tired. The total issue of serial deben-
lures was $30,000,ooo. of which So
100000 has been retired by sinking
fund operations. There has been no
change in the amount of adjustment
bonds.
The increase in annual interest
charges since 1895 has been $2,S70,-
900. The increase in gross earnings
per annum has been about 100000, 900,
or 1870 per cent, while the increase in
net earnings has been about $4,000
600, or nearly 800 per cent. The in
crease in net earnings is equivalent to
nearly seven times the increase in
fixed charges.
1t is evident that the growth of the
system has been so rapid that the new
requirements could not be met with tout
large capital issues. 1t is noteworthy
fact that for each new dollar added to
fixed charges there have been seven
dollars added to net earnings.

CUT OFF INDUSTRIAL LINES.
Western Roads, Excepting Wisconsin
Central. Cancel Rate Divisions

All the railroads terminating in
Chicago except the Wisconsin Central
yesterday agreed to stop giving per-
centages of through rates to industrial
lines and allow them instead only
switching rates, the maximum to be
$3.50 per car.
After an investigation of the rela-
lions between the so-called Industrial
lines and the bona fide railroads the
interstate commerce commission ruled
that the sharing of through rates
lent to the payment of rebates of from
IS to $40 per car to the industries
owning those lines The commission
recommended the cancellation of per-
centage divisions of through rates with
the industrial lines. and the payment
to them of switching charges only.
The Wisconsin Central refused to
cancel its arrangement for rate di-
visions with the industrial lines here
claiming that other roads had similar
arrangements with logging and other
long as any railroad had any arrange
ment for a division of through rates
with any Industrial lines the Wiscon-
sin Central declared it would main
tain the relations which have existed
between it and the Industrial lines
here.
It is said the Wisconsin Central was
the first road to divide through rates
with industrial lines here. AS the in
terstate commerce commission has
ruled that such divisions are equiva-
lent to paying rebates it is possible
that proceedings will be instituted in
consin Central to discontinue its

| Said That a Railroad Is Projected
From St. Joe to Twin Cities.

Sioux City, Ia, Dec 22.-The an
nouncement has been made that the
Gould interests have completed ar
rangements for the early opening of a
line from st. Joseph, MO-, across Iowa

statement is made by r. S. Mordant,
president of the ST. Joseph, Albany &
Des Moines, which has but recently
passed the promotion stage, that his
road was financed by the Missouri Pa
cific, and that the Missouri Pacific has
also taken over the Des Moines, Iowa
Falls & Northern. The latter was
built rnysteriously two years ago by
local people along the line, and it now
develops that the securities had

sale possible. The road is to be ex-
tended north to the Twin cities, and
operating in connection with the Nor
dant road from st. Joseph to Des
Moines. viii give a direct line about
425 miles long.
The Gould system has never en-
tered Iowa before, but has figured in
the affairs of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis, and the Des Moines & Fort
Dodge at various times. Activity all
along the route by which the Twin
cities are to be reached bears out
Mordant's statement that building will
be pushed early in the new year.
