This list does not include the Union
Pacific holdings of Great Northern and
Northern Pacific issues, of which the
Union Pacific at the date of its last
annual report still held about SIS, $50, 900
par value. These stocks were grad
ually being sold, having been greatly
reduced during 1908, and possibly by
this time have all been disposed of by
the Union Pacific In any event. they
do not now represent an important fac
tor in the company's aggregate in
vestments.
PROFITS IN INVESTMENTS
The figures show that the Union Pa
cifie has $3.50, 100000 OF investment
stocks, exclusive of the Hill stocks, and
that these cost in round numbers 1928,
100000 and are worth at today's quota
lions no less than S29S, 900, 900. The
] greater part of this increase in market
value over cost value represents the
increase in the value of the Union Pa
cific's holdings Of Southern Pacific,
amounting to S9O.O0O.O 900 of the COM
mon and about s34.000.000 of the pre-
ferred. The common was purchased for
about 60, while the preferred was
taken on subscription at par. The ag-
/ gregate cost of its Southern Pacific
stock TO the Union Pacific was about
SIS, 100000 and the stock today is
worth no less than 1852. o00,00O The
stocks bought in 1906 show no such
profits as this. Indeed, in most in
stances. these stocks are worth less to-
day than the Union Pacific paid for
them. This is conspicuously true of
its Illinois Central, of New York Cen
trail and of Baltimore and Ohio.
| Taking them all in all, however,
these Hartman investments have
shown enormous profits. Out of the
/ Hill stocks, which the Union Pacific
got back from the Northern securities
| company, the Union Pacific realized a
! profit of over $50 000, 900. a profit second
only to the $4,000, 900 increase in the
value Of the Union Pacif1c's holdings
of Southern Pacific.
Archer Huntington, adopted son of
Mrs. c. P. Huntington, has planned an
art museum to house his collection of
Spanish paintings, etc. The remarkable
success which attended the display of
/
rolla and Zuloaga, has encouraged
Huntington in the belief that there is
a wide appreciation for Spanish art in
this city. The Hispanic museum. where
the exhibitions were held, was never
| intended for any such purpose and its
| interior arrangements were consider
ably altered in order TO make it do as
a temporary gallery.
The proposed gallery will be at the
/ southwest corner of Broadway and One
! Hundred and Fifty fifth street, and will
be built in the Romanesque style, so
as to harmonic in appearance with
the Hispanic museum and the home of
! the Numismatic society.
The scheme provides for the occu-
pancy OF the entire plot. extending from
Broadway nearly to Riverside drive and
from One Hundred and Fifty-fifth to
One Hundred and Fifty-sixth street by
/ institutions that have to do with Span
ish art and literature and also with
early history of the North American
continent and its topography.
Mrs. Coils 2. Huntington. as has
! been announced, gave land at Broadway
and One Hundred and Fifty sixth street
for the new building of the American
Geographical society, and Archer Hunt
/ ington has subscribed $4,000 toward
the erection of building The society
expects to raise $250,O00 in all for the
building fund.

/ The Red Cross committee succeeded in
raising $4,000 clear from the sale of
Christmas stamps. and this money was
turned over to the tuberculosis COM

The exact location for the boat has
not yet been decided upon. but the
committee will endeavor to find a spot
