the average rate of dividends on all
stock outstanding, including water,
was 4.8 per cent, as compared with
80 per cent during the 1905 period
when they purchased cars to meet
the growing traffic.
In plain language, the railroad
owners increased the dividends to
themselves so per cent instead of
buying the new cars which the
growth Of business and agriculture
demanded.

CRED And "a sHoRTAGE.

GREED AND CAR SHORTAGE
All efforts of the interstate COM
meTce commission to put an end to
the shortage of freight cars appear
to have been Unavailing. The net
shortage reported for March l, which
has just been made public, was 1874
973 cars, an increase OF 1885 over
February.
This increase in the car shortage
occurred in spite of milder weather
which, it had been stated by railroad
officials, was all they needed to re-
leve the situation.
The present car shortage is due
fundamentally to the fact that in re-
cent years the railroads have divert
ed income which should have been
expended on cars to the payment OF
larger dividends. Records OF the in
terstate commerce commission show
that during the seven years ending
with 1906 the railroads stock of
freight cars increased 472,383, while
during a similar period ending with
1914, the latest data available, the
number Of cars increased only $780,
345.
During this period when the rail-
roads were failing to keep their stock
of cars up to the normal demands by
the purchase Of additional cars, they
greatly increased their dividend
rates. The official records show that
during the period from 1908 to 1914,
when they cut down car purchases. j

WATER PRESSURE. - The fire
which destroyed st. Catharine's
church in Austin last night brought
out the fact, stronger than ever, that
the water pressure in that section Of
tx city is rank. Austinites have
been complaining for years about in
adequate water pressure. In the
summertime there is barely enough
push to the water to give a garden
a drink.
For the first twenty minutes Of the
church fire firemen were unable to
make the water reach the roof.
Flames spread to the priests house
next door and made a great hole in
the roof before engines arrived to
pump water high enough to dOuse
the fire. Ordinarily, with proper
pressure, the damage to that house
would have amounted to practically
nothing.
It is high time something is done
to give as big section Of Chicago
as Austin is, the proper water pres
sure to at least fight fires.
Austinites claim that Oak Park,
which gets its water from Chicago
pumping stations, is better treated
than Chicago itself

that the big Alice mine at the head of Fall will
be numbered among the largest producers in the state 1t
is weknown fact that this property has been thoroughly
exploited and tested by competent engineers in the last
three months, and result of their findings it is
reported that plans are being formulated for the working
of this immense body of such extensive scale
that has been the dream of few of citizens years.
The present plans consist of the construction of large
reservoir for the storage Of water to furnish power for
hydro plant which will in turn furnish power for
reduction plant of thousandton capacity per day.

that may be needed.
The tests made by the engineers show value that

Yukon Mines will
Need More Men

The Yukon mines is one of the
busy places in the Camp of Alice.
About twenty men are now enl-
ployed on the property and more
would be if they could be accommo-
dated with board and lodging.
The Consolidated Mines Develop
ment company, which is operating
this property, will build a new
boarding house at the mine as soon
as the weather will permit in
the spring. Since taking hold
of this property some months ago,
this company has never stopped
work but they have gone steadily
ahead with their development work
and the result is they know they
have a mine that is worth many
times the outlay that it has cost
TO prove it up and they are not
yet satisfied with the showing they
have, but are going right along
opening up more and more ground
every day. The Klondyke cross
cut which under-cuts the entire
group of claims, is being driven
ahead as fast as two shifts of men
can do it. On the upper tunnel
the Silver Moon vein was inter-
sected some months ago and drift
ing is in progress both ways on
the vein and good ore is showing
throughout. A test lot taken last
week FROM streak IA INCHES wide
in the west drift gave a return OF
of AS ounces gold and 46(
ounces silver per ton. Tests from
the entire drift show value ol
from $40 to SIG per ton.
The opening un CT this propert,
is only another evid ence of what
can be done in the III lining line
when good judgment and common
sense is used and the money fol
development used for that purpose
