UNION PACIFIC TO
CUT JUICY melon

The executive committee of the
Union Pacific Railroad company an
nouneed Tuesday in New York that
it will recommend the distribution
among its stockholders oil the Balti
more & Ohio stock owned by the com
panv. the par value of which is about
$50, 900, 900, together with So per
share in cash. Estimated on the pres
ent market value of Baltimore &
Ohio stock this is equivalent to an
extra dividend of 33 per cent.
The executive committee will lay
this recommendation before the board
OF directors which meets today. 1t
recommends also that if this distribu
ton is carried into effect the regular
dividend be correspondingly reduced,
that is, from 10 to 8 per cent. The
c%ompany's statement follows:
"The executive committee has de.
cided to recommend to the board of
directors, which NETS Thursday, to dis
tribute among the holders of the
common stock of the Union Pacific
Railroad company, the Baltimore &
hio stock owned by it, together with
IS per share in cash. 1t is proposed
to distribute to the holder of each
share of Union Pacific common $12,
par value. in Baltimore & Ohio prefer
red, now yielding at 4 per cent 4S
cents, and $3.50, par value, in Bal
timore & Ohio common, now yielding
at 6 per cent, $1.35. and SO in cash,
say at 6 per cent per annum Is cents.
or a total of $2.01.
"The executive committee also
recommends that if carried into eff
feet. the regular annual dividend be
co~rrespondingly reduced; that it, from
10 per cent to 8 per cent per annum.''
About S42, 100000 of the Baltimore
& Ohio stock was acquired last July
from the Pennsylvania railroad,
which received from the Union Pa
ciic an equivalent amount ofSouthern
Pacific stock, which the Union Pa
cifc was obliged to give up as the re.
suit of the Supreme Court decision
forcing the dissolution of the Union
Pacific system. The remainder was
acquired in 1906 during the regime OF
the late T.. III. Hartman.
The effect of the distribution is ia
decrease the earning power of the
Union Pacific . per cent. The invest
ment ON which this 2 per cent was
earned now becomes the property of
the individual stockholders.
Union Pacific owns $50, 607 900 Bal
timore & Ohio common and $2S,480,
900 preferred. Around present prices
the market value of this $S2,087 900
stock is $4,000, 900. As Union Pa
cific has $216,633,000 common stock,
the SO per share cash dividend to be
declared calls for $6,49S,000 cash,
making the total money value of the
forthcoming dividends $76,49S, 000.

Like New Store Fronts.

Making over store fronts is an In
dustry which has found SO many pa
irons in New York that a number OF
firms have found it profitable to set
aside all other forms of building and
devote themselves wholly to helping
New York merchants improve the ap.
pearance of their establishments by
putting a new face on the matter. All
classes of merchants, from the small
dealer in the suburb to the great dry
goods firms. indulge in the luxury of
a new kind of front to their business
homes every once III so often.

Believe Flying Snakes Exist.

The belief in the existence of flying
snakes is widely current in India, but
few people profess to have seen them.
1t would be interesting to find out
how the legend came into existence.
These snakes are supposed to live on
trees and make a flying dart at their
victims. Snakes have been known to
drop down trees and bite people but
it is not these which are known as
flying snakes in India.

Queer Rowin1 Costumes

English rowing men a century age
wore costumes far different from what
they wear now. IN 1905 it was the
correct thing for them to wear q
green leather catskin cap with a jack

first university race at Henley In 1926
Oxford won wearing blue checks
while Cambridge was in white with
pink waistcoats. Broad brimmed
heavy straw hats came in & little

Firemen in Amsterdam have little
