Nine Men Are Drowned.

Nine men were drowned and five
others had a narrow escape when a
sudden Mississippi river squall hit the
government survey boat Beaver, caus-
ing it to capsize four miles above
New Madrid, Mo.
The boat sank near Hotchkiss light
in Snakey Bend, and as soon as a re-
port of the accident was received,
word was sent to Memphis and the
government steamer Chiska hurried
to the scene.
The party had been up the river on
surveying work and it is supposed
we're about to return here when the
squall struck them.

AS a result Of the recent decisions in
the United States supreme court rel
alive TO the Jurisdiction of state legis-
latures and railway commissions to
fix rates, there is a general feeling
among Michigan state officials that
the Duluth South Shore & Atlantic
railway company will be beaten in its
attempt to avoid carrying passengers
for two cents per mile in the upper
peninsula as required by the act of the
1911 legislature.
This opinion seems to be shared by
many residents of the upper peninsula,
as word has reached Lansing that
speculation il the due bills issued by
the Duluth South Shore & Atlantic
weeks. When the act was passed by
the legislature two years ago the up
per peninsula road announced its in
tention of contrasting the constitution
ality of the law in the federal courts.
In the mean time, passengers were re-
quired to pay the old rate of three
cents per mile. Each passenger was
given a due bill which would entitle
him to refund from the company In
the event that the courts finally held
the law to be constitutional.

However, time and the Spanish

RAILROAD STATISTICS SHOW
SLIGHT INCREASE IN
EARNINGS
GEN. STONE WOULD EXCHANGE
FLAGS WITH REEFS.
He Believes that u Trophies Were
Returned at Gettysburg Reunion
II Would be a Great Drawing
Card.


Apparently there are grounds for
the poverty walls emanating from the
representatives of the various rail
roads operating in Michigan. At
least, comparison of last years bust
ness, with the business of 1911, accord
ing to statistics of the state railroad
commission, show that there was but
a slight increase. During the last ses-
sion of the legislature and in the
course of the Pere Marquette investi-
CATION, the point was raised that the
increase in business was not keeping
pace with the increased expense.
For the fiscal year ending June so,
1911 the freight revenue for all steam
roads in the state amounted to SAL
541,1S4.37, while for the fiscal year
ending June so, 1912 the business in
creased to S44,359, 7S0.24, a gain of
S2,S1S,595.S7. Taken as a whole this
might be considered a comfortable in
crease, but distributed among all the
roads of the state it is not considered
a very excellent showing.
In 1911 the total passenger earnings
from all steam roads amounted TO
$15,S20, 1921. Last year the total
was s16,436, 74102, an increase of only
SAG, 403.91. Almost without eXcep-
tino the railroad men appearing before
the legislature last winter declared
that there was no money in the passen-
ger business and that the earnings on
the freight end were being reduced
through governmental regulations.
The records Of the state railroad COM
mission show that the railroads car
ried IS, 191 ,024 tons of freight last year
as compared with 72,S3S,S93 in 1911
This is an increase of 5,353,121. The
total number OF passengers carried by
steam roads in 1912 was 23,351,8S1 as
compared with 22,243,340 the previous
year This section of the report
shows a gain in the number of passer-
gers carried of 1,10S,541.
In 1911 the passenger earnings Of
the Michigan Central amounted to S4,-
449,S1626, and for the fiscal year end
ing June so, 1912 the books show $4,-
616,9S. The passenger earnings OF
the Pere Marquette amounted TO 49,
095,96707 in 1911 as compared with
$3,174,572.56 in 1912. The Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern increased it's
passenger earnings from $1,287, EOS. 03
to S1,315,222,31. The Grand Trunk
advanced from $2,251, 256.O1 to $2,516,-
00S.20. The figures are taken only on
the principal roads but the averages
are approximately the same.
The four big roads made but little
gain in the revenue received from
handling freight. In 1911 the Aichi-
gan Central received $10,669, 0S1.17,
while last year the total was S11,356,-
S4S.22. The Pere Marquette shows an
increase from $S,460,64195 to SS.S32,-
1898. The Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern advanced from $1,S7S,746.55
to s2,144,O26.29 and the Grand Trunk
from $i,922,144.61 to S5,319,445.73.
