Growth of Revenues
; Estimated. decrease,

Irc. 4sss t4i% lie
.Ea,imated. decrease
Earnings for 1929 are estimated,
these estimates being based on the
normal seasonal variations of both
gross and net. taken in conjunction
with actual earnings to date Of latest
monthly report.
The decline In estimated net after
taxes indicate for 1922. as compared
with the actual for 1912, reflects the
seriousness of the business depression
which hit the Northwest with particu-
lar severity. The indicated results for
1922, however, are considerably more
favorable than the actual for 1921,
which shows that the business outlook
in this section is much improved. The
increase in estimated total income for
1922, as compared with 1912, is ac-
counted for by increased receipts from
incorporating sources, particularly
ings.
dividend Record
The Northern Pacific Railway was
tion of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
chartered in 1864 under special act of
Congress. An initial dividend of 2
per cent was paid in 1899 on the stock
of the reorganized company. The divi-
dend rate was gradually increased
from year to year until per cent was
reached in 1908. After that there was
no change until the current year, when
the rate was reduced TO s per cent.
Margin OF Safety Of Earnings
The margins of safety above interest
and dividends shown In the table be-
low are based on the percentage that
income available for interest and divi-
dends would have to decline In order
to leave barely sufficient to cover these
payments. Thus, in 1912, if total in
come had fallen per cent, just enough
would have been earned to cover inter-
est and dividend payments, but if it
had fallen 70 per cent, interest charges
would have been earned, but nothing
would have remained for the stock.

meft. Northern Pacific has shown a
most satisfactory response in the way
1t has developed. The comparison be-
tween 1922 and 1912 is not so favor
able as on many other roads because
Of the unusual severity and prolonga-
ton OF the business depression in the
Northwest, as compared with other
sections of the country. A recovery,
however, is apparently we'll under way.
Because of its strong financial posi-
tion the company was able to weather
the storm successfully and to maintain
the high credit it has enjoyed for
many years. Its bond issues have long
been rated among the very high grade
securities
Owing to the uncertain outlook,
the directors, early in 1922, decided
to reduce the dividends on the stock
to S per cent from the per cent rate
Ia effect for nearly twenty years. With
the situation as it then was, this was
s. wise move, but there is little doubt
that the old rate will be restored when
earnings improve sufficiently to war
rant it.
The recent talk of merger of the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy and their
various subsidiaries has aroused a
great deal of interest in Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern stocks, and
this has been reflected in activity and
advancing prices for the shares. 1t is
understood that the matter Is
scheduled for hearing before the
Interstate Commerce Commission No

f'For forty-four years Of my married
life, 1t has had a Place on our medi-
cine shelf. and is the only laxative, or
liver medicine, we use. We use 1t
for torpid liver, sour stomach. head
ache, indigestion >. don't think we
could get along without 1t, knowing
what 1t has done for us, and the money
It has saved. 1t Is just as good and re-
liable today as it was when we began
its use. My boys use It and they are
satisfied it's the best liver medicine
they have ever used"
Thedford's Black Draught Is purely

So many thousands Of persons have

STRAW VOTE TO
DECIDE BARLOW
PRINCIPALSHIP
Novel Method Is Being Put Into
Use To Settle a Difficult
Problem

A novel method for the selection
OF a principal for Summerlin Institute
this being Bartow's high school, ii
being adopted by the local school
board in that city. Unable to reach
a conclusion as to who sIhaV be
named as principal, the board is re-
ferring the matter to the people thru
the medium of a straw ballot. The
Barlow Record states the situation
in the following:
AS announced in another column
of this paper, a straw vote on two
applicants for principal of Summerlin
Institute, will be taken next Monday,
by decision of the board of local trus-
tees. All patrons of che school
that is, parents of children attending
Summerlin-and all white men and
women of 81 years or over, residing
in school district 7, will be eligible
to vote.
The court house will be the polling
place and three inspectors will be
appointed to conduct the election
hours to be from eight o'clock a. M
to shutdown.
Regular ballots are being printed
for use at the time, with two candid
ates names appearing. A. B. Con-
nor, the present principal, is one and
r. L. Thomson of Umatilla, is the
other.
This action is the result of siren
uous disagreement on the part of the
members of the board of trustees, at
a meeting held Wednesday afternoon,
for the purpose of selecting a prin-
cipal. Several weeks ago, A. B. Con-
nor, who has taught in Barlow for
four years, was appointed by the
trustees, to continue his work here
next year. Disapproval of the action
was expressed in the circulation OF
petition, which read as follows:
1--WE the undersigned, having inter-
est in the welfare of the young peo-
pie of our town from the standpoint
of principle, refinement, culture and
higher education, do respectfully pc
ton the board of trustees to recon
slider the appointment of A. B. Con
nor as pricipal of Summerlin until
further applications can be received
and considered" This was signed by
fifteen patrons and fifteen friends.
II
This petition, presented at a later
meeting of the board of trustees, held
at the county boards office, re
suited in the announcement that the
trustees had reconsidered.
When this board met on Wednes
day, they pursued the process Of
elimination, in narrowing the choice
of sixteen applicants, down to Mr.
| Conner and Mr.. Thomson. DR.. ]. M
Oglesby, chairman of the board, ano
Mrs. A. T. Mann, voted for Mr.. Thorn
ason. H. w. Wear voted for Mr.
Connor
In the meantime a second petition
had been circulated and was present
ed at this meeting 1t read as follows
1--WE the undersigned patrons ant
friends of Summerlin Institute, petit
ton your honorable body to re-elec
Prof. A. b. Conner as principal fol-
next year. We believe that he hal
rendered capable service and to dis
II miss him now would be against thu
