NEW AUTOMOBILE AGENCY

Mir. and Mrs. George O. Duesler are here from Los Angeles and will re main permanently Mir. Duesler will be remembered as the mechaniciSn and aeronaut who was here with Roy Knabenschue during the fair Since going to Los Angeles he has joined the ranks of the benedicts. Mir. Duesler returns to take charge of the rental agency of the Mitchell automobile for :. w. Higley. Mitchell cars will be handled exclusively by the renIa! agency; also being an agency for the sale of the cars The exact location of the garage has not yet been decided upon, several places being under con sideration. They now have one thirty five-horse power car and will have another one by next Saturday. MT Duesler is a first-class machinist and ought tO know a lot about gasoline engines. as all will admit who saw him operate the flying machine during fair time. During his experience as an aeronaut he made ninety-siX ascen- sions and never but once made forced landing. and then the flight was without serious results or any ac- cident that his audience could detect Ninety-siX good. safe trips in the air is a good record in these early days of flying MT. Knabenschue. says Mir Duesler, is now in Pasadena and is handling his machine alone.

ALABAMA IRON SHOWS LOSS.
Hoadley Company's Report Exhibits
 Big Drop in Net Earnings.

Serious strikes and general business depression proved too much last year for the hitherto prosperous Alabama Consolidated Coal X Iron company Its annual report for the fiscal year end ed october 31, 1908. shows that net earnings declined from $657.9S5 in 1907 to s10S.3S1 last year This was the smallest sum earned in any year since the organization Of the company fin 1899, and lacked S4.79S of being suffi- cient to meet the interest on the bond ed debt. The management of the com pany, however. showed confidence in better things to come by spending dur ing the year 1000 in new construc- ton work, the larger part of which was caused by being obliged to finish work undertaken and partly done in 1907. All Of this has been done in the most substantial manner and the company is already reaping the benefit in in creased production at a decreased cost.
 The report states that the plant has been brought up to a high state of efficiency, and that with an early resumption of business, it is expected that the preferred dividends will be resumed and the payment of those that have been deferred will be made. In his report, Joseph H. Hoad- ley, the president of the company. told the stockholders that, consider ing the far reaching effects of the strike and the panic, the result for 1908 should be regarded as favorable. Without the improvements that had been made by the present manage ment, he said, the company's plants could not have been run at a profit \. !. Commercial

Chicago, March 12.-(Special cor
 respondence or The Republican, That the merger of Chicago's ele-ac-
 cd railroads, which is now assured
 will be followed by the gigantic con solidation of the elevated and sur [ face lines and the Commonwealth
 Edison company is accepted by Chi- cago bankers as inevitable. The
 effect is seen on the Chicago Stock Exchange, where securities of these companies ae listed, in an increas- ing activity 'of meaning. This ulti-
 mate triple merger will involve over $l60, ,O00,OO and will effect economies of operation which in themselves gives promise of dividends to hold CTS of shares which have been bar ren of dividends for years.
 The ultimate consolidation or the Elevated merger will create new sc- curity issues that will add materially to those which are giving Chicago a conspicuous Ilace as d traction se- Curity market. The western pug chasers of stocks and bonds, usually investors rather than spectators, have shown a preference for public service issues where properly safs- guarded, owing to the exceptional records made by public service com panies during months of industrial depression. The elevated roads of Chicago, like the surface lines before reorganization, have been in such awkward and clumsy relation to one another and the public that their fi- nancing has dragged and the change in prospect will bring their securi- ties again into the active lists.
 only final details remain in the arrangements for the elevated roads merger. so long under consideration At last a plan has been hit upon ac- cepted by all. the South Side. Metro politan. Northwestern and Lake street roads and the Union Loop company, and lawyers are at work upon the leases and agreements for signature. In the process the public will get the through service which ii has clamored for and the companies will save the present toll to the Union Loop company and the dupl- cation of cashiers and guards at ev- cry loop station.
 The spectacular episode of investi- gation of the surface traction com panies has served, in passing. to show the safeguards which Chicago's traction ordinance placed about the earnings of the companies and the securities issued. It proved that the city's rights and those of investors were well fortified, in consequence of which the prices bid for the securi- ties firmly withstood the agitation and advanced when the end of that was in sight The theory of the Chicago ordinance was shown to be sound.
