MEANS MUCH To CITY

100000 of first mortgage bonds and
$17. 10000 of second mortgage
bonds. No cash was realize from the
/ stock. The bonds yielded S60,944,-
600 in cash. which represents the
actual cost OF the road and which is
Sc, 900 less than the face value
of the bonds.
TIE financing of the Western Pa
cific and its ownership as part OF
through line Gould now has between
st. Louis and San Francisco is of
general interest to railroad men and
bankers alike. Gould's Rio Grande
system owns s5O,0OO,OOO of the
stock of the Western Pacific, the re-
naming s25,000.0O0 having been
scattered as bonuses to bond pur-
chasers and others. and in turn 40
per cent of the stock of the Rio
Grande system is owned by Gould's
Missouri Pacific.
To go more into details. the orig
inal financing of the Western Pacific
was accompanied by the vote of $50,-
100000 of per cent first mortgage
bonds. secured by first and second
mortgage of 927 miles of road by
first mortgage on the San Francisco
terminals of the company and by di-
rect guarantee of the Rio Grande
syst "a. which was given $50, 900
of t. stock in consideration of that
fact. II was originally thought that
the proceeds of this issue. amounting
to S45, 100000 in cash would be suf-
ficient to build the main line and
some feeder branches as well, but
the first part of the construction work
fell upon times when prices were
high and labor was scarce, and en-
gineering difficulties were encoun-
tered which were considerably more
severe than had been anticipated.
Consequently an additional issue
of second mortgage bonds was made
necessary. The Rio Grande Western,
which was merged with the Denver
d Rio Grande railroad in July, 1908.
contracted to purchase sufficient of
these second mortgage bonds to COM
plete the Western Pacific. but it was
found difficult to get an outside mar
ket for these bonds at a decent
figure.
Consequently, in September, 1908,
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
authorized an issue of $150,000, 900
first and refunding per cent bonds,
OF which $9O,000.0o0 were to be re-
served to protect liens then existing
The directors subsequently authorized
the Issue and sale of $22,944,000 of
these bonds. of which $7.000,OOO

the Denver & Rio Grande and Mis-

increased tonnage of manufacturer

fruits and vegetables eastbound. AT
present the Southern Pacific and
proprietary companies get approx
mately one-quarter of their tonnage
and a good deal more than a quarter
OF their earnings from manufacturers
and merchandise, and haul every
year million and a half tons of
fruit and vegetables, which the West

able to compete for quite sharply.

After four years of hard work
Virgil G. Bogue, who vas superin-
tended the great task of building the
Western Pacific, is about to take a
rest. now that the road is practically
finished, says report from San
Francisco.
In less than four years Mr.. Bogue,
on behalf of George j. Gould, has
connected Salt Lake and San Fran
cisco by rail with maximum grades of
52.S feet, as against 116 feet east
bound and l06 feet westbound on the
.Union-Central Pacific route. To get
this low grade, together with a mini
mum of curves, Mr.. Bogue had to
bore many tunnels and build lot of
bridges. This notable piece OF rail-
road construction was financed for

 The conduct of the men. said the con ductor could not be complained of but on the contrary was 10 be commended. A successful resistence might have been made but it is certain that there would have been bloodshed.
 When Deputy hSeriff Sturgis was divested Of his gun. he still had an other left A little later he had an opportunity to shoot the collecting robber but at the risk of killing a passenger and Attorney General Wright pointed out to him the adVan- tage of pursuing a peace policy.

The bandits had doubtless noted the presence of the officers on the train and very wisely arranged to prevent any display of special heroism the circumstances might prompt. They looked like anna teurs but they planned and executed with accuracy and precision The con ductor was also in that car taking tickets and his hands were up with the rest of them, that being regarded as a general corroboration of the authentis- ity of the hold-up.
