Rock Island Earnings.

Rock Island earnings for August
were issued yesterday and show an in
crease of $140,154 in net. This turn
ing of decreases in net into IL creases

happen the company viii be able here
after to show gains in net earnings.
The gross for August decreased $312,-

Frisco for the month did not make
such a good exhibit. The decrease in
gross was much greater and, although
there was a large decrease in operat-

lines of the Rock Island system for
August showed an increase in net of
$15,910. The decrease in expenses of

Real Estate Fortunes

No stranger commentary on the ST,
lent growth Of tremendous fortunes
can be found than in the recent discov-
cry of a man worth $s40,0O0,000 Of whom
the public had never heard. This man
is Charles Edgar Appelby, lawyer,
whose ontire fortune was made from
a beginning of small investments in
New York real estate. The public
came into its information of his for
tune through a forged deed and
an1azement was great that man Who'll
" unknown could accumulate such
vast wealth and remain in practical
sseclusion.
Mr. Appely is q lawyer more than SO
years Of age. He began investing in
real Hesitate 80 years ago and has con
stantly added to his holdings. Mr..
Appely's rule of Investment, in his own
language, is: II never buy stocks or
bonds; but j Am always ready to buy
or sell real estate Go and do likewise.
