FOR SEPTEMBER.

A St. Louis weather prophet Is said TO
have predicted pheuomcnally stormy
weather for this month. He contends
that according to the astronomic out
look. storms will sweep progressively
over the country from the ith 10 the
7th OF September. and that seismic
shocks win be felt In many places
within forty-eight hours OF noon of the
18th
The second storm period will be CEN
trail on the 9Th. 10th and nth, and this
he calls the annual crisis Of magnetic
unrest" He adds that heavy storms
Of rain, hail wind and thunder win
move out OF the Northwest and be fol-
lowed by a great change 70 cooler, with
probable frosts
Another storm period is to be ex-
pected between the 14th and 10th. With
Jupiter. Saturn, Mercury. Vulcan, and
Venus. "all central IN disturbing en-
ergy," the period must necessarily be
fun Of perturbinB causes and phenom-
email possibilities" and that many vol

pected within forty-eight hours OF sun

But the real winter viii not set In

AS TO IMPROVEMENTS.

A gentleman the other day, made
the remark IN street car that the
American party bosses may be rotten
but the party stands for progress as
r. proved by the present condition Of
the streets The Improvements now go
ing on. ne said. are simply marvellous.
The leaders of the party that In
suits other parties by calling Itself
American" depend largely on this
street show for success In the coming
campaign. They claim credit for every
improvement now In progress, and gem
orally season their claims with the
falsehood that nothing was done here
IN the way Of public Improvement un-
IN they obtained hold Of the purses
OF the taxpayers.
What are the facts7
Most OF the public improvements
now IN evidence we're planned by a
lpnevious administration The So
called American party leaders fought
like lnaniacs the proposition to OBJ

AMERICAN RAILROADS.

Statistics " the railroads of 'o
country during the year 1906 are eH-
hibited IN some detail IN Poor's Manu-
ai. just issued.
II IL shown that immonse sums
have been expended m building sta
items IN enlargiug terminal facilities,
and in Increasing tho amount and
quality Of the rolling stock.
whether or not the real value OF
railroad property, tho physical valua-
ton" as st IS termed. has kept pace
with the Increased capitalization IS o.
question in which tho public is most
interested: and. unfortunately this
question the statistics do not answer.
II Is on their capitalization that tho
railroads claim the right 20 earn
dividends Of ten per cent or some
other reasonable rate OF profit And
n their capitalization is the same as
their real worth In the market .,
better still. their physical valuation,
since the market price nuctuates more
than do the actual values, the claim
of the railroads f. reasonable and
consistent one They are clearly en-
titled TO a fair profit on their actual
valuation. but not necessarily upon
their capitalz9ton--the face value Of
their stocks. bonds. and securities.
Compared with 1905 their gross
earnings showed an Increase OF s234'-
4s2,5t6. or more than u per cent, and
their net earnings from operation
alone an Increase OF xt04,S23,224, or
more than rs per cent. The average
dividend rate on all railroad stock
rose to 363 per cent, from 3.27 per
cent IN 1905.
on the other hand. the funded debt
OF the steam railroads increased $A25,-
s4B.877 and the capital stock 1884,
452,151. a total OF S7eo298,O2S, OF
about 81 per cent aside from an in
crease Of sS09,3tI339 in other LA
tiHties. with this increase In capt
talization however. there were less
than $500 miles. or nearly "a per
cent OF new construction. Capitalize
ton increased over twice as fast as
miles Of new track.
The problem Of aRcertaining real
values Is one OF the most delicate
and important known 70 economies
and Is the most perpleXing element 70
be ascertained when statistics giving
monetary values in different places are
compared.
In the case Of railroad capitaliza-
ton. the problem Of letting the roads
fix their own rates so as TO afford
a reasonable percentage Of profit. can
be solved only by finding out the ratio
between capitalization and real worth.

tuutai telegraph lines. They COM
structsd. besides. hundreds OF miles

the advancement OF Utah and all her
cities and towns would have been ev-
En- greater than it Is. Strife has re-
.arded the natural growth here. The
Of Utah had experience in
empire building. and they applied them
selves to the work with great enthu-
siasm. IL was their idea TO have a
state under the American nag. IN which
liberty, equality. and fraternity were

to have freedom 10 worship, and equal
with his fellowmen. But
for the campaign OF SANDER and Will

realized IL is the story OF the wheat

sowed tares in the field over night.
