St. Louis. April 2.=The Opening Of

discussed by Arthur E. Stilwell, presi-
dent of the Kansas City, Mexico &

honor which was given recently by the
Orient Pilgrims society at the Noon
day club. Eighty-two guests. including
D. r. Francis and Mayor Wells, list
ened to addresses by the heads of the
Orient railroad and the foremost citi-

of St Louisans to accompany the ninth
pilgrimage through Mexico on April
10, was discussed, and tentative plans
for the extension of the Orient to St.
Louis as It's eastern terminus, were
eagerly applauded.
Mr.. SilweH said:
THE Orient railroad is entirely
unique. When it was started it was
with the determination that not a dol
lar should be raised on bonds until
10000 miles of track were laid and
operated We have kept to that plan.

Surplus Earnings for Dividends.
and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Since its reorganization in 1890, the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway
company has never paid any dividends
on its stock. of which there is out
standing s13,OOO,00O of the preferred,
being per cent noncumulative, and
s63, 300, 600 of the common. The road
operates a total of 3,043 miles, of
which 2,77O miles is owned by the
company.
The company a short while age de-
cided to create a general mortgage
bond issue bearing interest at 4 x per
cent, to be secured by a general mort
gage of the lines of railroad, equip
ment, franchises and property Of the
company now owned or hereafter TO
be acquired by the use of the general
mortgage bonds. Only $10,000,OOO OF
these bonds are to be issued imme-
diately. the remainder to be reserved
for future use under proper restric-
tons
The proceeds derived from the sale
of the $IO.OOO,000 bonds are to be
used to pay off all equipment notes
which otherwise would have to be
paid out of the net earnings. The
amount of these will have been re-
duced to $3,67S,56S outstanding In
March, 1905. About 100000 of the
balance remaining will be devoted to
the reduction of grades and reforma-
ton OF alignment
The proposed bond issue will be
acted on at the meeting April next.
It is expected that this will provide
the company with necessary funds for
some time to come and enable 1t to
make a much better showing in regard
to earnings. Since the company was
reorganized, 16 years ago, about $15,
900 has been expended on the pro-
perty out of earnings, which has oper-
ated against the payment of dividends
on the stock. The management now
feels that the stockholders should re-
ceive some compensation.
The last annual report of the COM
pany, made public September Il, 1905,
showed gross earnings of $40, 041, O94, an
increase of 81. 264, 600, and net earnings
gained 1884. 600. Operating expenses
were larger by 100000 Surplus for the
year, after charges amounted to ST.

pected that shortly thereafter the di-
