SAILS ID BRING LOAD
 FROM TOLOVANA

The launch Eclipse arrived from Fairbanks late yesterday afternoon enroute to the Log Jam to pick up load of Tolovanites who are planning to leave that district to seek employment on the govern ment railroad. The launch left for the Tolovana after a stay of three hours in port, getting away at nine o'clock.
 Information received by Captain George Black, before leaving Fair banks, was to the effect that scare ity of water on the creeks of the Tolovana district is hampering oper- ations to such an extent that many miners are unable to find employ ment, and rather than wait for in:- proved conditions, they are coming to Nenana, where there is work for all who care to sign on with the government.
 Among those who will make the trip out on the Eclipse are Dr. and Mrs. Martin and Mrs Ernest Peterson, who expect to board the steamer Panama at this port, en- route for the Outside Their ex- cuse for coming to Nenana is that they desire to see the town before taking passage for the States.
 The passengers arriving from Fairbanks on the launch were Jos eph Salka, Fred Truches, A. W. Van Sant, John Frank and Andrew Zaboff.

GR|GSBY GAINS
 VOTES AT NOME
 AND ELSEWHERE

Photographic advices received by the News today from Nome and Juneau confirm the reports of steady gains for the Democratic candidate which has reached Ne mana since Tuesday, and there is reason to believe that outlying pre- cincts in the several divisions which have not yet reported will stili further increase the lead of Grigsby.
 The Nome Nugget, which SUD- ported Jones during the campaign, is authority for the statement that Jones now has total in the Second division of 2S3 votes, with Grigsby a close second with 241, and only five more precincts to hear from. Prior to the election the Nugget predicted that Jones would carry the peninsula by three to one.
 The Juneau Empire, reporting for the First division, gives Grigsby a total of 902 and Jones 795, in twenty-one out of thirty-seven pre- cincts. The unreported precincts. the Empire predicts, will increase Grigsby's lead by considerable number
 The News has been unable to hear from the Third division, but report doubtless will be received by tomorrow.

FAIRBANKS COUNCIL
 TO CONSTRUCT SEWER

CARL WHITE DELAYED;
 ARRIVAL UNCERTAIN

The launch Carl White, which is reported to have left Cinema for the Tolovana shortly before mid night last night, had not made its appearance here at the time of go- ing to press, and the time of the arrival of the launch was then a matter of much uncertainty. The boat should have reached Nenana early this morning and the assump- tion is that the delay has been caused by engine trouble.

Bankers Ready to Proceed
With Plan to Finance
Purchases for Carriers
Made by the Government

With the passage by the Senate yes
terday of the bill providing for reim-
bursemcnt Of the government for
motive power, cars and other equip
ment ordered for the railroads under
Federal control, the way was opened
for the launching of the national
eouipment corporation recommended by
bankers to raise funds to make pay
ment for equipment valued at approx
imately $4OO, 100000.
It was originally contemplated that
the banking group would offer to the
public equipment trust certificates for
$3.50 ,QO0,U00 cf the amount required,
and that the remaining S120.000,000
would be subscribed COR by the RAIL
road administration. Jerome J. Han
auer, chairman of the banking group,
stated yesterday that the certificate
issue would not be as great as at first
proposed and that it probably would
not exceed S25o,0o0,000. The differ
ence between tNiS sum and S280000
600, he said, would be raised through
credit would warrant their entering
the open market for that purpose.
The equipment trust certificates
which will be issued to finance the
governments purchases of railroad
equipment will bear interest at 6 per
cent, and will mature in equal annual
installments for fifteen years. A re
serve Of $2S, 100000 is to be established ID
through a total subscription by the
government to the enterprise O. $1lS.-
100000 The stock is to be entitled d
70 receive cumulative dividends at the
annual rate of " per cent and to the
redemption of one-ffteenth of its pa,
value, or S9,S66 ,666, every year, but not
until after the maturing interest ano
annual installments Of principal have
been made upon the equipment trust
certificates sold to the public.
Any excess Of receipts of the equip
ment corporation over expenses are tc
be accumulated as an additional re-
serve fund. and are to be distributed ID
as an extra dividend upon the capita
stock on the dissolution of the com
pany which will take title to the equip
ment in question and will execute
agreements of conditional sale with
the various companies accepting equip-
ment.
1t is estimated that the percentage
of receipts of the corporation in the
first year of its operation will be 4641
declining to 1928 in the fifteenth and
last year Of its life. The certificates
in the hands of the public in the first
year Of the life of the corporation, ac-
cording to the bankers plan, will rep
resent only 63 per cent of the pur-
chase price Of the equipment, and at
the end Of five years AZ per cent.

Question-When dividend check is
sent out by corporation after stock
has been sold, does this dividend be-
long to the one who receives it or to
the new owner, in case where the
stock was sold without any anentior
being made of dividend. the seller
does not know there is dividend
coming but only day or two after
sale dividend was declared? claims
the dividend belongs to person whose
name appears on books of corporation,
dividend having been earned during
time seller owned stock; B claims divi-
dend belongs to new owner Who ls
right ?-J. j.
Answer-Stocks are supposed to sell
cx-dividend on certain day. Names
appearing on books of company at
close of business that day receive
dividend. If man sells his stock and
dividend is afterward declared, he is
not entitled to dividend. There are
many instances where stock is sold
and new owner neglects to have stock
transferred in time for dividend due.
In this case. while dividend is paid to
pre-, .ous holder, he should send the
check to new owner.
