HARTMAN LINES SHOWING.
Report on Valuation VIII Show Roads
Are Not Overcapitalized.

Within the next few weeks the re-
port of Engineer z. Holbrook showing
the valuation of the Hartman railroad
system will be ready for publication,
according to a report from st. Louis.
Mr.. Holbrook has been engaged upon
the stupendous task of taking phys
zeal valuation of all the properties in
cluded in the system for the past three
years, and the work is now nearing
completion. julius KruttSchnitt, di-
rector of maintenance and operation
of the Hartman lines, who is now in
Europe, is expected to contribute a
considerable amount of data to the re-
port before it is finally completed.
1t is stated that the purpose of MAX
ing this accurate valuation of the Har-
riman lines is desire on the part of
the management to refute the oft re-
peated charge that the roads are large
ly overcapitalized. At the same time
it is stated that the management is also
DESTROYS of knowing accurately just
what the property is worth. No doubt
when the final totals are arrived at in
connection with the valuation of the
property, railroad officials say, it will
be found that it is not so grossly over
capitalized as has been reported.
The report which will be made when

The above mileage figures are those
of the average operated, as no re-
turns are available for the last two
years in regard to mileage owned.
The continuity of comparison is some
what affected by the commerce COM
missions exclusion in 1908, and there
after, of the reports of terminal and
switching companies from its reports,
which omission is corrected in the
figures used above for 1910, 1911 and
1912. But these changes did not Sc
riously affect the significance of the
table.
Taxes of the Hartman lines in
creased last year 40 per cent for the
Union and II per cent for the South
ern Pacific. Santa F'e's assessments
were increased 20 per cent. Central
of New Jerseys taxes were greatly re-
duced in 1911, but last year they
were more than doubled and were
then SO per cent greater than three
years before. Reading railroad
taxes were also so per cent greater
for the 1912 fiscal year than for 1903.
These instances are typical, as the
sharp increase in average taxes per
mile for the entire country shows.

DOUBLE TRACK ON WABASH.
Contracts Let-Steel and Concrete
Bridges Over Entire Line


Bridges Over Entire Line.
Announcement is made at St. Louis
headquarters of the Wabash that con-
tracts have been let for the grading on
all of the second tracks authorized.
Good progress has been made in the
construction-in fact, 20 per cent of
the track has already been laid-and
it is expected that the work will be
finished by the end of December. Con-
crete and steel bridges of the most
permanent character are being used
throughout. The heaviest open-hearth
and Bessemer steel rail; Wharton
switches so designed that there is no
point in the main track, as is custo-
many at switches, thus leaving a clean
main rail; automatic electric block sig
nails, and every modern device for safe
ty, durability and permanent way has
been included in the details of con-
struction.
When completed this will make dou-
b1e-track lines on the Wabash as fol-
lows: Between st. Louis and Buffalo,
325 miles. between st. Louis and Chi
cago, 40 miles; between st. Louis and
Kansas City, 132 miles, between Chi
cago and Buffalo, 1S5 miles, total of
S12 miles.
Contracts are now being let for
modern locomotive shop at Decatur,
which, with the present car shops,
built at Decatur in 1907, will give the
Wabash railroad one of the most COM
plete shop plants in the United States.
Extensive improvements in terminals
at Detroit, Fort Wayne and many 9TH
er points are now in progress.

NAPOLEON'S IDEAL WOMAN

The great Napoleon, in response to a
question once asked by a lady, replied
MY ideal woman is not the beautiful
society belle or the butterfly of fashion,
but the matron who reaches middle age
in complete preservation of health, with
stalwart children by her side.''
Thousands of middle-aged American
women today owe their health to Lydia
E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
that famous remedy for female ills.
which has carried more women safely
through the natural changes of her life,
than any other remedy the world has
ever known. If you are ill, it will pay
you to try it.

the complete valuation of the system
has been ascertained will be in detail,
from the value of each particular par
eel of land in the $4,000 miles of right
of way to the value of the cotton waste
on hand, and from the total value Of
all the locomotives in use on the syS-
tenn to the old scrap beside the railroad
tracks. Even the value of the power
which may be obtained from the de-
velopment of a single mountain stream
.ocated on the Union Pacific property,
it is stated, can be learned from this
report. Therefore it will undoubtedly
be the most comprehensive document
of its kind that has ever been issued.

Total Amount for Last Fiscal
Year $3.50, 100000.
INCOMES 8 Per CENT LESS
Traffic Managers Worried Over
Years Showing.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

Increased taxes are the latest source
of reflection to the railroad manager.
Statisticians point out that the total
income contributed to the common
veal by the railroads was increased
by $11,000,OO0 during the fiscal year
which ended on June 80, and that the
total amount for the year was $780,
100000. This is an increase of 10 per
cent, as against an increase of only
5 per cent for the preceding year.
While taxes were being increased 10
per cent the gross incomes of all the
roads increased less than 2 per cent,
say the managers. Their figures fol-

GOOD GAIN m EARNINGS.
First Week in August shows 81 Per
Cent Increase.


Railroad gross earnings for the first
week in August show a marked i'm
proVement as compared with those
of the similar period in the two pre-
ceding months, the total of all United
States roads reporting to date, as
compiled by Dun's Review, aggregat-
ing $7,641,311, a gain of 81 per cent
as compared with the earnings of the
iod last year.
This contrasts with railroad earn
ings for first week in July practical
ly the same as a year ago, while for
the same period in June they showed
an increase of only 2.6 per cent. Very
few systems report loss, the most no
table being Chicago and Alton, which
shows a falling off of 36,415; Texas
and Pacific, $11,060, and Colorado
and Southern, $37,S94.
These decreases, however, are far
more than offset by the gains by nu-
merous important roads, among them
Missouri Pacific, on which an expeu-
sion of $1S4,698 appears; $780,"
$119,,79; Chesapeake and Ohio, $83.-
366; Southern, $51, 708; Louisville and
Nashville, $35s420; International and
