Union Pacific to
Show Falling Off
in It's Net Revenue

Advance information indicates that for
the fiscal year ending june 30. 1914. the
Union Pacific viii earn IA per cent for
its s2is.sgT.s 500 Of common stock. as against
1876 per cent for 1911.
II Is said that the falling off in the
percentage of earnings is not due to a
lack OF business. but on account OF an
increase In operating expenses. For
instance: In 1911. taking nine months for
comparison. the operating ratio per mile
was S.5 per cent; the gross earnings.
si0.S22 and the net. N.is2 per mile. In
lsi2 the operating ratio increased to s7.s4
per cent. while the gross earnings fell
to ss.leo and the net TO ss.osl per mile.
A large portion OF the difficulty In
connection with the financial condition
Is attributed to the March weather and
tho floods. For portion Of that month
the Union Pacifics main line into Omaha
was out OF commission. so that its trains
had 10 be routed over other lines. This
held back vast amount OF traffic and
materially Increased the cost Of handling
that that did get through.

Vnce a ITageoy-N0H a G0meuy
Spring house cleaning has lost its
terrors since the Vacuum Cleaner came
into vogue.
The confusion, dirt. dust and dis
comfort of old fashioned house clean
ing can now be avoided.
Electric Vacuum Cleaners may be rented or
purchased.
They cost little to operate. usually not more
than it costs to operate two 16 candle power
lamps for the same length of time, (about lie per
hour.)
Decide now to do your house cleaning with
the least discomfort.
Rent or buy Vacuum Cleaner and you will
enjoy the difference.
Ask any dealer in electric supplies for prices.
Ask our Contract Department for

interests are supposed TO get the larger
slice This is about the first dividend OF
any Alaskan copper producer The com

since April last, the average being close

are not expected to hold very long. and
the company is very near ready 10 be-
