GREAT WESTERN POWER GAINS

An official of the Western Power
company the holding organization for
the Great Western Power company, mas
given out the following statement in
New York:
THE company Is in splendid condi-
tion and present indications are that
the. increases in business will be still
greater in the last half of 1913, while
our increased capacity will permit still
further advances in earnings in 1913.
At the present time we find it hard
to sufficiently increase our capacity In
order to supply the ever increasing de-
mand for power. While these develop
ment expenditures might ordinarily be
considered unusual In this instance the
demand on our capacity justifies the
development work.
with business continuing at the
present rate for the remainder of the
-current year. net income of the COM
pany for 1913 ought to amount to $780,
900, or approximately 8 per cent on
the outstanding common stock. In 1914
look for still further INCREASE In net
income to about S1.500,000, at which
time a dividend on the preferred stock
probably viii be declared, IT being too
SOON. however. to estimate the amount
of the payment
Dividends on the outstanding ss.-
030 900 6 per cent preferred stock be-
Icame cumulative January i, 1912. so
that Il per cent will have accrued on
the stock by the end of 1913 It Is
understood that the contract with the
Pacific Gas and Electric company to
supply that company with $4,000 horse
power pending the completion of the
latter company's Bear river extension,
has been. renewed for one year at
the same price as previous contract.
BY the time the renewed contract ex-
pires it is expected that the Pacific
Gas. and Electric company will have
power sufficient for its own needs and
the Western Power company can then
sell the $4,000 horsepower at much
better price than il receives under the
terms of the present contract

Hutton's New York Letter

The market displayed more strength
today than on any day since the July
4 recess. Sentiment was very much
improved before the opening. due to
the quick action of the administration
in fulfilling it's promise to enact the
Newlands bill. A higher range of
prices in the London market and
very optimistic interview given out by
Judge Moore on general conditions also
helped the market.
Bankers expressed satisfaction over
changes in the Glass currency bill
Provision for funding 2 per cent bonds
into 3s. it was thought, would event
ually enable banks to retire their cir
culation without "a loss.
During the late. trading prices con-
tinued on the upward swing with short

thought that the period of low prices
was over as the market had been well
llquidated and was in position to
respond to favorable news.

years equipment orders have been de-
livered earlier than those of last year,
as the equipment companies are not
quite so rushed as they were a year
ago. Because OF the prompt delivery
of equipment and because Rock Island
has spent $2.700.00o more on mainte-
nance than in 1912, the road will be
able to handle the heavy fall traffic
with greater economy and dispatch
than was the case last fall. On this

pate improved earnings this fall, in
