500 DIVIDEND OUTLOOK

It has been rumored for some time
that the $780, directors, at the spring
dividend meeting, will increase the rate
from to 6, and perhaps to even per
cents year. Well-informedi interests say
that THERE is absolutely no official au-
thority for such rumors. The earnings
Of the $780, road are enormous, UNI
doubtedly even considerably larger
than are reported. They apparently
justify the materially higher rate Of
dividend which, according to rumor,
Is to be declared when next the direc-
tors meet for action on that question,
but it may be doubted whether the
more conservative element will agree to
a further distribution Of surplus at this
time. It is the policy Of these holders
to put the money back into the road in
betterments.
Canadian Pacific directors will prob
ably meet about the middle of next
month to act on the spring dividend.
According to the best information OBJ
tainable, the dividend will not be in
creased at that time. At any rate, no
official information to that effect has
been received here.

Weather conditions have permitted
shipments on all railways this week and

is this true of apples, the shipping de-

The scarcity. Of the 800 size in Cali

JAMES J. HILL, before he left New
York, signed papers connected with the
development of the iron ore lands
owned by the Great Northern. The ore
lands will be segregated from the rail
road and a separate corporation formed
for. their control. The capital of the
holding company is expected to equal

want from the steel corporation is a

CHANGING MOTIVE POWER

The Canadian Pacific is beginning to

There is a possibility that it may be
found desirable to operate the lines

= An output of 240 100000 pounds, Of
copper in 1905 places Arizona for the
first time; in second place among the
copper camps in the United States.
Montana which stands first, produced
340,000,000 poundsoin* 1905, while Lake
Superior, which has occupied second
place for many years, is this year third
with 22O,0O0,000 pounds. An increase
Of nearly 40,O0O,000 pounds in the Ari-
IONA production this year compares
with an increase Of 60,O0O,OOO pounds
in 1904 over the preceding year. BY
camps, the Arizona production in
pounds was as follows:

Clifton .....:.::.::: 52,47s,ooo 57,7s4,ooo
The Globe camp holds the record for
the largest percentage of increase,
nearly SO per cent by reason. of the
completion Of the Old Dominion freduc-
ton works, declared to be the finest, in
Arizona.
It is considered quite probable that
during 1906 Arizona will record as
great, if not a greater increase, in cop
per production than it did in 1906 In
proportion to the number of producing
mines the Arizona properties have a
greater proportion of dividend payers
than probably any other state. They
have declared nearly $lO,0O0,000 in div
idends during the past year.

t1on of the leading. mines in Arizona.

Meade was afterwards removed, the specific charge against him being that he did not attack and crush Lee be- fore the latter could cross the Potomac; and Meade was then the fifth officer who had been displaced from command of the army of the Potomac by Mir. Lincoln for his failure to crush General Lee.
 In the opinion of Lees army then, and in my opinion now. General Meade was wiser than MT. Lincoln. The Gen eraI knew better than his President could know the temper and mettle of the two armies. Lees army did not then look upon Gettysburg as defeat but only as a repulse Our reasoning was that the enemy's position had sim ply been impregnable, and even while we were retreating we indulged in the boast that they dared not attack us in the open field of fair fight Not during the civil war, nor indeed until in the cooler survey of the whole field of operations after Appomattox, did Lees veterans ever admit to them selves that Gettysburg--now called by northern writers the high tide of the Rebellion"-was a defeat for our arr mics. Such Indeed 1t now proves to have been, but if Meade had attacked us at St. James College. near Hagers- town. the feeling in our army was that the victory this time would be ours again.
 have studied the battle of Gettys- burg with considerable care, and 1t may not be amiss to record here briefly some opinions, which, however I have not time to fortify by reasons.
 First. If the Confederate forces at hand had been promptly thrown for ward in the afternoon of July 1st we would have captured the heights easily. Our Division (Anderson's) was close enough to be available.
 Secondly. If in the battle of the sec ond of July the two reserve Brigades of General Anderson's Division had been sent in to our help as requested by General Wilcox, we should have gone through the enemy's left centre.
 Third. If on the 2nd of July the as- sault had been made on our right three or four hours earlier, as contemplated by General Lee, we would have won a great victory.

appreciate it very much if you will
furnish this department with copy

mony taken before the Legislative com
mittee should esteem it favor il
you will furnish me with such other
information as may be in the posses
sion of your committee relative to the
alleged trust The purpose of this re-
quest is to obtain sufficient data to
serve as a basis for an independent
Investigation by the federal govern

HAS LONG INTERVIEW WITH TAFT

washington, March 17-Secretary
Taft was in consultation with Presi
dent Roosevelt for some time during
he morning. No decision has been
reached regarding his acceptance Of a
place on the supreme court bench and
probably none will be reached for

President Roosevelt later author
lied the issuance of the following
statement regarding the successor Of
Justice Brown in the supreme court Of
the United States:
CAS- Mr.. Justice Brown will not re
tire until June, when the supreme
court will take a vacation until the
second Monday in October and no pub
lie inconvenience can arise from a
vacancy continuing through the vaca-
tion the president will take further
time to decide the question Of Mr..
Justice Browns successor. Several
names, including that of Secretary
Taft, have been under consideration,
but no decision has been reached or
is likely to be reached or announced
in the near future" " s
Secretary Taft went to the war de.
partment for a few moments before
the meeting Of the cabinet. When
asked his intentions he directed his
inquirers to the statement issued from
the White House saying that that was
the expression of the presidents views
and that his (Taft's) lips were sealed;
all that he could say was that the mat
ter was indefinitely postponed.
