FriscO's Surplus Funds to Be
Used for Improvements.
Rock Island Proposes to Run
Its Properties as Railways.
BENEFITS WILL COME,
Future Earnings win Crafty
Dividends on Common Stock.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

For the last eight years the St. Louis
&. San Francisco railroad has paid
dividend on its second preferred stock;
for four years regularly at the rate for
4 per cent. During the last fiscal year
great deal of refunding and readjust-
ment of securities became due, all Of
which was accomplished successfully.
On February 16, with gross earnings for
the half year from June 80 to January
l. about $1,000, 000 greater than for the
corresponding period a year ago, the d.
rectors announced that the quarterly
dividend on the $16,000O00 second pre-
ferred stock would not be paid.
Ordinarily it would be surprising to
find a railroad after having so success
fully weathered large new capital re-
Quirements and with earnings so dis
tinctly on the increase, passing a divi-
dend paid almost continuously since re-
organization ten years earlier. Last fall,
however, new plan Of action was
adopted in the management of the Rock
Island properties. the 4 per cent divi-
dend on the preferred stock of the con-
trolling Rock Island company early in
January was passed and there was an
nOunced an extensive campaign of I'M
provemeEts on the lines of the Rock Is
land system. Operating conditions on
the Frisco system We're similar-a high
operating ratio and in particular an I'M
duly large proportion of gross earnings
used for conducting transportation. It
is therefore natural to find a parallel
policy under way on the Frisco lines.
Particularly does it seem, as did the
passing Of the Rock Island dividend con-
spicuous only in it's lateness, when it is
realized that immediate needs for addi-
tions, Improvements and new terminal
facilities now calling for attention, aside
from similar expenditures already auth
oTized will cost the St. Louis & San
Francisco about $4,000, 900. The 100000
second preferred annual dividend re-

Congressman Harrison Tells What He
Found on the Isthmus.

New. York, Feb 27.-Ex-C Congressman
Francis Burton Harrison returned to New
York yesterday after a trip of six weeks
through Central America. One week Of
that time he spent in investigating the
work of digging the Panama canal He
IS convinced. he says, that the admins
tratfon ought to be upheld in its task
Mr. Harrison said that although a Dem
ocrat, the officials engaged in the canal
work were eager to inform him about it
They seemed to have nothing to conceal
and they had work there, he said. to show
for their efforts He found esprit de corps
among the higher officials and he CON
tinued;
I think it would be folly to array any
party against such a work Criticism
might be all right. but not as partisan
criticism.
7 be eve the canal is being dug hon
estly- efficiently and with earnestness and
Intelligence. Any Observant traveller could
offer minor criticism as to what has been
done and what has been left undone but
we are not dealing with trivia1ities there
nor is the canal commission to be held
accountable. like the house committee of
social club. We are building a great
canal and it is going to be built
