OREGON ELECTRIC'S
SPLENDID SHOWING

The total operating revenues of the
Oregon Electric railway for the year
ending June 80, 1914, was 81 ,1Sl ,S04. .13,
of which 1,l54, ,216.lS is credited to
transportation revenues and $27,587 .95
to revenues other than transpor-
tation. The total operation ex.
penses for the year amounted to $S04,-
636.70 or a balance of $377,177.43 in
favor of receipts over expenses. The
ratio of operating expenses to operating
revenues was 6s.0S per cent or 1892
per cent on the credit side of the ledger.
These figures are obtained from the
annual report of the railway company
to the railroad commission, received
yesterday afternoon, and they speak
volumes for the wave of prosperity
which continues to sweep over the vii.
lamette valley in narrow district
served by total of l54.54 miles of rail.
road lines.
In striking contrast TO this display
of prosperity for the heart of the val
ley comes the years record of the
United Railways company, another elec.
tric urban branch of the Great North.
ern system which operates from Port
land into the northern part Of Wash
ington county for a distance of 1872
miles, which shows a total revenue of
$l23,353 from transportation for the
year against $205,603 operating ex.
penses, or net operating deficit of
$s2,340. The ratio. Of operating ex.
penses to operating revenues was l667j
per cent or 66.75 per cent to the bad.
This difference, however, is accounted
for by the fact that the United Rail
ways line operates through a sparsely
settled, rough and undeveloped section
Of the northern extremity Of the valley
and the expense Of operation per mile
of line is much greater than that Of the
Oregon Electric.
The total cost for road and equipment
TO date of the United Railways for less
than "a miles Of line was $6,3i1 ,339 or
SlS0,520 per mile AMI the capital out.
standing Of the system per mile Of line
is Sll2,074. The total cost Of road
equipment and general expenses Of the
Oregon Electric to closing date Of the
report was $l3,027 1880 for l5j miles
VI llHc or fof,@dp,Eb per mile ana the
amount Of capitalization per mile Of
line was $29,3l2.SO.
The total capital stock of the Oregon
Electric outstanding, June 80, 1914, was
S2,530,00 of an authorized capital Of
$lO,lO0,00O, Of which $l,9500O0 repre-.
sented common stock 100000 prefer.
red stock and $3s0,O0O deferred stock,
and dividend of 6 per cent was de.
clared upon the 100000 preferred

SlO,OO0,000 issue and the amount Of in.
terest accrued and paid during the year
at per cent interest was 100000. The
amount of mortgage carried per mile Of
line is $12,0i2.
The amount Of surplus earnings on
