SECURITIES OF OTHER CORPORA
TIONS

The entire cost OF the securities OF
other corporations held by your Com
pany. December 31st. 1905, was sl9l.16g,-
1901. and the direct revenue received
fhcrcfrOm during the year was Sn,IH.-
lS423, being 6.o3 per cent upon the cost
thereof.
II will be noted that there has been
a large decrease In your holdings OF the
securities Of other corporations. This
is due 10 the fact that as the object
sought through their purchase, viz, the
promotion Of a more conservative policy
IN the management of some Of the large
railways reaching the seabOard. and the
doing away with unjust determinations
between shippers had been largely ac-
complished and through the passage Of
recent amendments 10 the Interstate
Commerce law and the enforcement Of
its provisions. the maintenance OF tariff
rates had been practically secured. IL
was deemed advisable 10 sell portion
Of the securities heretofore acquired
This sale covered all OF your Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway Stock and a
ma iOrity Of your holdings In tho Balti-
more and Ohio and Norfolk and West
ern Railways, and as result thereof
a large profit has accrued to your Com
pany which, as before noted, has been
credited TO your Profit and Loss Ac-
count.

How to Avoid Death
By the Usual Route.

Driving in an old fashioned vehicle
on Brigham street in these days Of the
fast and furious motor car is fraught
with more real danger than walking
a narrow railroad grade with the
lightning express train behind YOU. II
your hearing and seeing are unim-
paired you can dodge the train by
sliding down the embanlument. because
II Is reasonably certain that the train
viii at least remain on the track. but
with an Infatuated automobile coming
up behind your one horse shay on
Brigham street you are more OF less
at a loss to know which way to turn
to make death pleasantest.
But william Henry Hoskins who re-
sides on East Brigham, says he has
discussed at great length with a num-
Der Of disabled citizens who have been
carried into his home during the past
summer, and he finds that almost in
variably their injuries have resulted
from turning to the right or TO the
left in a despairlng and hopeless at
tempt to elude the machine Mr.. Hos
kns has on several occasions driven
out on Brigham street OF a Sunday
himself and he points with some de-
gree OF pride, as well he may. 10 the
fact that he ~ still the possessor OF
all his limbs and also "a majority Of
his faculties. He attributes his de-
liVerance TO the fact that he keeps
straight on without swerving IN either
direction, and though many times the
sides Of his conveyance have had the
paint scraped of them neither he nor
his family has as yet been killed,
though some OF his neighbors who
have given up driving say It is only
q matter Of time.
Mr.. Hoskins is a very careful driver
and his horse is gentle and kind, and
neither his wife nor the little ones
are Of a very nervous temperament.
80 be says that when he hears an auto
coming In the rear. he exhorts his
family 60 be very quiet and prayerful
To tuck their limbs in carfully and
place themselves I'm the hands OF Pro-
violence and by keeping a tight rein

on the horse and not doylatug hairs
breadth TO either side and holding ms
hreath-he has passed the summer IN
comparative good sealth.
In relating his experiences yesterday
Mr.. Hoskins distinctly disaVOwed that
he bore q charmed life and was par
ticular I'm disclaiming any suggestion
OF boastfulness over his good fortune,
because he couldn't say Of course now
soon he would be- numbered with the
slain, but for the benefit OF his Fellows
who are forced through untoward err
cumstanccs TO drive "a horse he wanted
the facts made known.
Il have noticed Also he continued
that those who drive as close 70 the
curb as possible. leaving the wide
street for the automobiles to race are
seldom maimed much. OF course / 90
not contend il would not be safer TO
drive iu an adjoining county or to
swing in ones hammock at home, but
II your dear ones need the air and your
horse needs the exercise ana you are
a man OF nerve coupled with unusual
sagaCity. for my part ! see no reason
why one may not use az least four
feet OF the street, crowdng Of course
close TO the sidewalk. with compare
tive immunity from mutilaton.'
Another thing ] have observed" he
went on--"and that rs that occupants
Of motor cars are as a rule care-free
and ON pleasure bent and they dislike
extremely to be ANNOYED or delayed

tai strangers and sometimes having 10

can ana seeing you huddled against
the sidewalk they viii generally take
the other 80 feet OF the street-and
whizz gaily by with light hearted
laughter and oftimes not so much as
a recrimiuating word"
William Henry Hoskins is an old
and highly respected citizen and his
views on this important subject are
entitled TO respectful consideration. IL
is hoped his suggestions will sink
deep into the hearts OF all those who
own a horse and cart and who have
a laudable ambition to drive on Brig
