Kennecott Dividend Gut
Directors Declare Quarterl,,
Payment of SO Cents

Owing to the uncertain condition of
the market for copper metal the di-
rectors of the Kennecott Copper Cor
poration yesterday cut the dividend in
half, by declaring a quarterly disburse-
mcnt of fifty cents share on the
outstanding stock. This puts the
stock on an annual dividend basis of
81, compared with 81 heretofore.
Stephen Birch, president of the cor
poration, in statement issued after
the directors meeting. said that the
management deemed it wise to take
this action as the corporation is carry
ing large amount of copper at
present, and it rny be necessary TO
carry still larger amount until anch
time IA it can be- marketed to advan-
tagc. Conservation of resources was
also necessary, lie said, in order to

RANGER, Texas, March 11.-Devcl
opment of oil on the right of way of
the Texas & Pacific Railroad in the
Ranger and other Central West Texas
fields may bring big dividends to the
stockholders of that company.
Not only may riches come to the
owners from this source but money is
already pouring into the treasury of
the railroad from the tremendous in
crease of freight traffic which the oil
discoveries have brought about. AS an
illustration, the receipts of the Ranger
station during the year before oil was
struck averaged $4,000 per month.
The average receipts Of this station
during the last two months has been
more than 100000, with increases that
promise to bring the monthly figures
of the station up to more than $l,000,-
600 a month by the end of the year.
The railroad is congestcd with
freight traffic, due t. the rush of oil

other materials and goods for the mer-
