PROSPEROUS YEAR
 FOR THE SANTA F

The fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, was the largest as to earnings, both gross and net, in the history of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
 Fe Railway system, according to the report of the directors, through MT. E. P. Ripley, president to the stockholders. The gross revenues were s12O,662, 727. The earnings were s36, 916,6O9.
 Two reasons, MT. Ripley says, contributed mainly to this result unprecedented wheat crop in Kan sas, and the largely increased yield of agricultural products of all kinds in the so-called "plains country" in Western Texas and Western Oklahoma. The Panama Pcific exposition at San Fransisco and the Panama California exposi- ton at San Diego has created some passenger business, "but at such low rates,'' MT. Riply said, Gas to afford little if any profit"
 Notwithstanding the company's favorable showing, the income of s36, ,916,6O9 applicable to bond intrest, dividends, improvements of property and strengthening of credit; MT. Ripley explains, was only five and four tenths per cent on the capital investment of $6S3, S55, ,314.
 The company paid a five per cent divid end on preferred stock and six per cent on common stock. It was able to do this because 1t pays only slightly more than four per cent on bonded debt, much of the debt having been created when money could be obtained at or near that rate. The average rate of income on property investment in the ninteen and a half years under the present management Is four and nine tenths ger cent.
 After paying interest and divi- dends, the directors put the bal ance of the earnings back into the property in order to keep it in the best possible physical condition. Through sundry adjustments the company found $11,421 which it carried to surplus making total account of $2O, ,501, 221 which had accumulated during the ninteen and a half years of the present management-A fund to be called upon should any adverse arise.
 The total expense for operation during the year was SIS, PAS, S12. The companies taxes for the syst em were $5, 497, 316.

to see, through tho keyhole. II June
were still in the room. She had had

Wondering, yet not quite daring to
intrude, the old woman had tiptoed
away.
But early next morning. while she
was putting tho sitting room to

she placed tho morning newspaper on

later the old woman's gaze fell on
these staring headlines:

Mary let the newspaper fall TO tho

she knew what It was.

There was but ono CLEAN OF comfort

that the mon whose names were

figured that they would go on, as

those notes were no longer In exist

were now legally FREQ from their

True. the morning newspapers had
told OF the theft. But Grant was cor
