what they need it is not practical to Sc
cure loan from a bank or from an in
dividual, SO they issue bonds, which are
part of mortgage, and sell small parts
of big mortgage to great many peo-
pie. In other words, the bond buyer loans
the road money, taking as evidence of his
security bond, and this bond is secured
by first mortgage held by trustee for
the bond holders.

tached TO topographic parties engaged
in mapping the region. The topo-
graphic party was in charge OF T. G.
Gordlne.
The larger part of the region de-
scribed in the report>is occupied by the
Talkeetna mountains, which form an
approximately circular mass bounded
on the west and north by the wide val
ley OF Susitna river, the most important
tributary of Cook inlet; on the east by
the Copper river basin and on the south
by Matanueka valley, from which they
rise abruptly. The interior of this
mountain mass is an exceedingly
rugged area, some of the highest alti-
tudes reaching 5000 to 5000 feet. and
access to 1t is possible only along the
larger stream systems. The topography,
drainage, geology and mineral deposits
of the area are described as fully as
possible by the biologists, who state,
however, that, owing to the wide ex-
tent of the district covered, much of
the geology has necessarily been gen.
eralized from observations actually
gathered along the lines of travel

Suppose the railway fails or
is not efficiently managed,
what happens to the bond
holders?

If you are stock holder in railway
and it fails, you lose your money or a
part of it, because you are one of the
owners; but as bond holder you cannot
lose, because you can fall back on the first
mortgage, and the railroad with all its
property is yours. You, as a bond holder,
are a preferred creditor and the stock
holders are responsible to you
Buying stock is risky, for it is bust
ness venture, but buying bonds is an in
vestment which cannot be assessed or
taxed or made liable in any possible way

NEW YORK WORLDS
LATEST SENSATION
Now Endeavoring to Connect James s.
Sherman With Case of Land
SWindIe.

NEW YORK, Oct 26.-In thirteen
column story, embellished with some
correspondence, the World, this morn
ing endeavors to establish that James
S. Sherman was party to a venture
contemplating the taking over of a.
vast tract of New Mexico timber land,
in 1901, mere fraction of its value.
AS a basis for the article, the World
prints letter of Edmund Burke of
Los Angeles, purporting to confess
the writer's personal interest in the
transaction, and warning he candi-
date of intended exposure. A fac
smile of the correspondent styles
Burke as the attorney for federal and
international cases, with Offices in
Washington, London and the City of
Mexico. The original letter is dated
August 9, 1908, Los Angeles.
