DENY CONGRATULATIONS.
Lines Hope to Prove Value of Proper
ties Equal Stocks

Washington. April 0.-Statements
of valuation filed recently with the in
terstate commerce commission indicate
that the railroads of the country are
going to make determined efforts to
demonstrate that the physical -vaIua-
ton of tn cir properties is equal to
their EQUALIZATION In doing this,
they intend to take advantage of the
present era of extremely high prices
prevailing in the real estate and gen.
eral supply markets.
The valuation of the Great Northern
system, as shown by a valuation of its
properties just presented to the COM
mission, indicate that the system is
capitalized at only about two-thirds of
the sum that would be necessary to
made manifest when the valuation, as
mony adduced before Commissioner
and Portland in the Spokane rate case.
In the aggregate. it was shown at the
hearing by the testimony of engineers,
purchasing agents, real estate men and
others, that to reproduce the ter
mina1s, right of way, structures. equip
ment and all other physical property
of this road at present would cost
$62.500 per mile. while the road has
issued only about Sc per cent of that
amount of capitalization
In making this estimate the Great
Northern listed it's terminals at only
S59,000,000, as against valuation of
S70.000.0 900 placed on terminals by
the North ern Pacific Other right of
way listed by the Great Northern was
put in at S27 100000.

tude has never affected me in the
least. II did not when I went up
Pixies Peak, nor when, at the time
was in Boston. I assembled the Bunker
Hfu monument. OF course, 1 shall
meet experiences on this trip which
will be entirely different from any
thing I have ever undergone hereto
fore, and I may come across some
thing that will make me wish 1 were

good place TO be-
