ALASKA 6. 8. comPANY's NET EARNINGS IN 1915
 DOUBLE 1914 FioUREs

Net earnings of the Alaska Steam. ship Company In l915 were in excess of 14 per cent on the outstanding capital stock, or double the amount of net earnings In 1914, according to the report Of President S. w. Ec- cles read at the annual meeting Of the company's stockholders in the head offices in the colman Building yesterday afternoon says the Seattle Times Of April 25
 During the year on extra dividend of 5 per cent was paid, making a total dividend distribution of n per cent, or S3S0.OOO. This leaves a bal anco of $65S ,s93.75 In the profit and loss account.
 The reports at the meeting show that the company is getting into good condition and that the net earnings this year may show further in- crease as result of the purchase of the new steamships Like other Seattle companies operating in the Alaska trade. the Alyaska Steamship Company recently raised its freight and passenger rates. but according to stockholders. the increase in reve- nue will be offset by higher cost of operation, higher taxes. higher insur- ance rates and the like and in meet ing the requirements of the seamen's act
 Tells Cost of steamships
 President Eccles' report contained the information that the steel freight steamships Bennington and Burling- ton, purchased m the East last fall and now en route to Seattle via Chile and Peru cost the company $240,0OO each, including necessary changes. The steamship Alaska, for merly known as the Kansas City, now in operation in the Alaska pas senger and freight trade. cost the company a total of S405.OOO, including alterations The Bennington and Bur lington each have capacity for cargo of $500 tons. The Alaska has accommodations for 162 first class passengers and cargo capacity of 5000 tons
 "The outlook for business for this year." Eccles says in the report, Ifs excellent. freight offerings being 80 largely in excess of the carrying ca- pacity of our vessels that if addition al suitable vessels for our trade can be obtained at reasonable figures. your directors feel that they ought to be purchased"
 Discussion among the stockholders brought out that any further in- crease in the net earnings will not be due to the addition of new yes- sells to the companys fleet The seaman's act reduced the number of passengers that may be carried on the company's liners. In the case of the Nome liner Victoria the number is reduced by I'll. which means a loss of S6.OOO in earnings for each voyage of that steamship of the coming season. The earning power of the other passenger liners has been re- duced proportionately, In order to meet the requirements of the act.
 Adds s5,ooo Tons to Fleet
 In addition to the three new yes sels mentioned, the company recently purchased the steam freighter Eure. ka. The new tonnage represented by the purchase of the four vessels adds 35,OOO tons to the fleet
 The stockholders reelected the fol- lowing directors: S. W. Eccles, John l.. Steele, Stephen Birch, R, w. Bax- ter. E. S. Pegram, W. T. Ford, ". II. Bogle, w B sprague and c. A. McMasters. Tie directors reorganiz.

STREET PAVING
Lamar Still Agitating the Question of
Taking Care of Main Street

Taking Care of Main Street
Another meeting was held on last
Friday evening at which the city coun-
ell and business men generally in
vestigated the figures offered by the
engineer in regard to the cost and best
methods of paving Main street. There
seems to be general desire among
all property holders along Main street
that something shall be done before
another summer to correct the exist
ing conditions, but it also appears
that there are almost as many meth
holders, and there is the rub. At pres
ent there is no indication that a ma
jority can get together on any of the
proposed plans. Some want one kind
of covering and some another. All
agree. however, that something must
be done, and therein lies the hope
that all will finally get together.
There are nearly a dozen kinds of paw
ing and each has its local advocates,
and many others want to give Jawn
d. an opportunity to pour oil on the
troubled waters or at least the dusty
streets before adopting any more ex-
pensive methods.
In the meantime the companies
which furnish the various paving ma
terials have recognized us as being on
the paving map, and the Register is
daily in receipt of enough dope on
the various pavings 70 be published
as reading matter-free Of charge-to
fill each issue Of the paper for the
balance of the year. II these COM
panies want to get their merits before
the public we much fear the poor fell
lows will have to loosen up a bit any
pay for some printers ink.
T. j. Sayler offers 10 guarantee the
cost of brick paving on a concrete base
not 20 be more than 81 per front foot
and the various kinds Of materials run
from that up to $40 or SO. and each
has friends that believe it is best Of
ALL The cost of oiliug is said to be
very light after the street is put in
condition, but there are many also who
object TO the oil on account of the
dirt. For the present everybody is
discussing the subject and something
will materialize before long.

EVens Up Last Year

A large crowd Of football lovers fol-
lowed the Bent County High School
team to Lamar on Saturday on the oc-
casion of the annual game between the
teams of the two schools. The game
settled the championship of the val
ley league, for both had absolutely
outclassed their opponents. But the
Lamar boys were too strong for the
Bent County lads and they ran off
with the game to the tune of 81 to 8.
And with it went the hard, cold cash
of many sports who had placed their
money on the home boys. They came
back sadder and broke-but wiser.

FOOTBALL GAME FRIDAY
Savages to Play Practice Game With
the Fort LYON Sailors

As Saturday is an open date in
the Lamar football schedule a game
has been arranged with the Fort Lyon
sailors to be played at Association
Park on Friday afternoon at 2:3O
o'clock to keep the boys in practice
for the final at Rocky Ford the fol-
lowing Saturday, and also to give the
Lamar business men who have been
unable to get off Saturdays an OPP
portunity to see the Lamar Savages
in action. The price will be 25
cents and as the Sailors have been

A fine auto was burned in the road
last Saturday morning on the Santa
Fe Trail near the Hardscrabble ranch.
The parties claiming The car cnnounc-
cd that it was insured and went on
their way leaving it to the mercy of
the weather. Whether it was really
owned by them or stolen and had to
be disposed of is not known for sure,
but the case has a suspicious look to
it.

of the stores of the town have agreed
to close for the time of the game and
everybody should turn out and give
the boys a good send-off on their last
appearance on the home grounds for
the season. We believe Lamar has the
best high school football team in the
state, and hope they will be given
an opportunity to play the winner of
the game between the Greeley and
Colorado Springs high schools.
