ROADS EARNING
SHOWS INCREASE
Rock Island Southern's Business
in 1912 Compares Favor
ably With 1911.

That the year 1912 has been one of
prosperity for the Rock Island South
ern railway is shown In the statement
issued by the officials of the company
giving the earnings for the last half
Of that year. During the last six
months the gross receipts of the road
totaled 100000, according to the
statement. About one-half of this
amount covered the operating expens-
es, which leaves a good margin as
profit. The earnings of both freight
and passenger business are included
in this amount.
During the year 1912 the passenger
business of the road was nearly dou-
BILE that OF the preceding year. The
figures show that ASP, 700 persons trav-
eled on the Rock Island Southern dur
| ing the past year as against 234, 1913
during 1911. The gain made by the
freight department is also substantial.
the road having handled 1853 cars
of freight during 1912 while the re
port OF the preceding year showed
1924 cars handled. The freight traf-
lic has been increased largely by the
development of coal mines, and the
building Of elevators along the line.
The gains made by the road are re
markable in view of the fact that the
road has been operated but two years
Both steam and electric cars are used
steam power being used in the han
ding of freight. Two new 6O-ton en-
gines were recently purchased by the
road. The interurban population o
the territory traversed is approximate
ly 10000 people, while the population
Of the tri-cities and Monmouth anI
