PROFITABLE POLICY.
Erie Turns Back Surplus Into Better
ment of the Property.


Earnings of the Erie Railroad Co.
for the fiscal year ended June 80 last
were the most favorable ever previ
ously published in the history of the
company, so far as the gross is con-
cerned, while the net exceeded any
previous year as far back as 1903,
which was a most exceptional year.
1t is significant that the Erie should
have been able to show a surplus for
the year sufficient in volume to have
met full per cent dividends on both
classes of preferred stock and at the
same time leave a balance available
for the junior issue, equal to 2.89
per cent on the $112,378, 900 now out
standing. Deducting the $737,087
charged to income for additions and
betterments during the year, it is
found that there is still left a balance
of surplus sufficient to meet full per
cent requirements of the preferred
stocks and have left a balance avail
able for the common equal to 2.23
per cent on the outstanding amount
mentioned above.
The showing by the company for the
last fiscal period was even better than
had been expected, although it was a
foregone conclusion that the final
operating results for the IL months
would be the most gratifying that had
come to light for a number of years
past. "Other income" of the COM
pany enjoyed the phenomenal increase
of about $1.000,000, or 33.44 per cent,

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 30.-The western
railroad situation is suffering from the
blight, and either the financial outlook
or the fear of adverse laws to be en-
acted by state legislatures this winter
has operated to bring about paralysis
in active construction, whether Of new
projects or in the finishing of work al
ready undertaken.
Less than a year ago the western air
was full of rumors of railway extension
work; the engineering forces Of the diff
ferent railroads operating in the west
were being worked at full capacity and
plans for a large amount of new mile
age were being discussed freely by the
railroad officials.
But suddenly a cold wind blew from
somewhere and In week everything
changed. Engineering parties were call
ed in and dismissed; construction work
was brought to an end; preliminary
work which was under way on many
lines was dropped; rails and cross ties
which had been distributed were re-
gathered and shipped back to the con-
struction yards, and while passenger
and freight traffic is as heavy as usual,
and actually far above normal on many
lines, not a lick of new work is being
done on most of the transmissouri rail-
roads.
Even Union Pacific Quits.
Even the big Union Pacific, easily the
heaviest builder of the western rail-
roads, has closed down and with the
exception of one small piece of work
in Colorado and the construction of new
headquarters and shops building in
Omaha is not investing cent in build
Ing or construction work.
Last winter Union Pacific paid $780,
900 for site for a new freight depot in
Omaha and the announcement was
made that work on the structure would
begin at once. The stop" order came
a few days later and nothing has yet
been done on a new freight house.
The same line had been doing a great
amount of construction work in Colo
RADIO and Wyoming and had announced
a number of improvements in those two
states. But one day five engineering
gangs were laid off and since then
worked stopped on every project with

1876 cars are box. The decrease

The largest decrease is in the CEN

In this group the surplus box de-

There is quite a general development
