The sturaeon.

Looked at specifically, with the
pointed snout and the mouth beneath
the head. the sturgeon suggests a
shark out of drawing, and, as matter
of fact. the "ganoids, Of which it is
one, occupy a place intermediate be-
tween the cartilaginous sharks and
bony fishes like the cod and salmon.
Further points of resemblance between
shark and sturgeon are to be found in
the common possession of a breathing
hole Tor spiraclel above the head. in
the abnormal scales, and in the soft
ness of the bones. For all its for
midable appearance, in great measure
the result of its great size. and in spite
of bloodthirsty reputation with

Should we employ music and kind

Some will laugh at the claim that

But then some will also deny that

GREAT NORTHERN
DIVIDENDS SAFE
HILL LINES TOTAL GAINS IN NET
EARNINGS ASSURE PAYMENT
OF USUAL PROFITS.

| st. Paul, June 21.-President Louis
w. Hills denial of the reported laying
off of 5000 men on the Great Northern
is more easily credited than the origf
nal retrenchment story, says the Wall
Street Journal. If recent develop
ments in the rate controversy and the
promise OF a dull summer are justi-
/ f1cation for the extreme caution shown
by some of the western roads, they are
not SO regarded by James J. Hill.
The Great Northern has stood out as
an exception to the unsatisfactory
tendency of railway earnings in recent
months. ssae zt
| ApriFs statement, the latest at hand
shows an increase in the roads cost OF
doing business, but not enough ia
wipe out the lead over the correspond
ing month of last year, and the total
gain in net earnings after operating
costs is so large at the end of the
ten months that the Great Northerns
dividend rate is not endangered.
In spite Of an addition of more than
$750,00O to taxes ana $1,500,000 to
maintenance, the Great Northern has
a net operating income to the end of
April amounting to $1S,962,OQO, a gain
of $3,107,000 over the corresponding
ten months of 1909, or 100000 more
than the company earned in the en-
tire twelve months of the year. Most
of the increase came in the early
months when the company was earn
| ing surplus at the rate of 10 per cent
on it's stock, and it is doubtful if the
year will, rs whole, show better than
| 10 or IL per cent
| If expenses are curtailed as sharply
in June as the reports indicate, the net
for this month will be abnormally
large. If the same scale of revenues
prevails through May and June as in
past months the Great Northern's in
come would be like this:
1910, Two Increase
Months, over Actual
Estimated. for 1909.
Gross .... .$64, 100000 $1o,342,O0
Expenses, taxes,
etc. .......... 100000 7,152,OoO
Operating in
come l...... $4,000, 900 3,9S8,000
Charging against this net operating
income the small excess of fixed
charges over the various items of
other income from investments, ETC.,
would leave balance of about $21,-
600 900, or exactly 10 per cent on the
capital. Charges in the interest items
may bring this surplus to nearer IL
per cent.
The Great Northern has been less a
victim of advancing costs of station
airy revenues than almost any Of the
other transcontinentals. 1t will have
about 100000 more available for div
idends. improvements and surplus than
1t had last year.
