In recent years Erie has made q re-
markable record in the rehabilitation of
the property and in the re-establish-
ment of earning power. In 1919, 1920
and 1922 the road operated at q deficit.
In 1921 net income was only. $l,722.-
sal. In 1929 net reached the record
high of S11,677,7 TOO. 1t was not 20
many years ago that Erie bonds were
clsssed as speculative and sold at heavy
discounts. Today they are all on an
investment basis. with only around 5.3
per cent to be had on the lowest priced
of the active Junior issues.
1t Is true that in the flrst half of
1880 there was a sharp falling on In
earnings, but that was due to general
conditions and not to any weakness in
the Erie management or any change in
its long-term prospects. The falling of
in income has affected adversely the
market price of the stocks and will
doubtless continue to affect them until
traffic improves.
Meanwhile, the regular dividends are
being paid on the two classes of pre-
ferred stocks, both of which are 4 per
cent non-cumulative. Large returns are
available on each of these issues. with
the first preferred selling on an approx
innate per cent and the second pre-
ferred on an approximate per cent
basis. The spread between the bid and
asked prices of these stocks is fairly
large, but that need not concern those
who buy for income.
The outlook for the common stock
on which mo- dividends have ever been
paid, depends on the business outlook
At the annual meeting in April Presi-
dent Denney said that while the road
was making progress in the control of
expenses, it was difficult to make any
prediction as to dividends on the COM
mon stock. The Erie Is allied with the
Van Sweringen-controlled Chesapeake
g. Ohio and the two together, with the
Nickel Plate, the ,Pere Marquette and
the backswanna, are placed in one
group In the latest Interstate Commerce
Commissions merger plan.

Hard Fight.
AZ lhs Assnniaied Pre.s

By the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, MINI, August 30.--After
fighting severe thunderstorm, through
which Secretary Hurley personally
piloted his giant transport plane, the
War Secretary and his party arrived
here today TO begin from the Twin
Cities an extensive survey of the Mis-
sissippi River flood control. rivers and
harbors and inland waterways projects.
Frequently over the low hills, one
plane carrying members of the party.
and piloted by Lieut.. l.. l.. Berry was
forced almost to the ground by squalls
and heavy winds.
Despite the storm, the Secretarys
plane and the other transport arrived
ahead Of the estimated time, causing
some confusion In the plans for the
welcome for the party.
While one plane left Chicago consid-
erably ahead Of that carrying the Sec
rotary, both of the large transports ar
rived almost at the same time at the
st. Paul Airport. The Secretary was
greeted by Col. wilbur Willing, dis
trict engineer for st. Paul.
First on the secretarys entertainment
program was q visit to the Minnesota
State fair at st. Paul. A dinner at the
st. Paul Association of Commerce fol-
lowed during the evening.
Many invitations we're on hand for
the secretary when he arrived in the
Twin Cities for his extensive trip down
the river to the Gulf of Mexico. Many
OF those who invited the secretary to
stop over at various points sent maps
and views of their desires IN the various
projects.
Among the invitations the secretary
has accepted was one from the New
Orleans Association Of Commerce, which
telegraphed to Washington before the
secretary left urging that he attend a
dinner by the association before flying
back to the Capital
Another project the secretary has de-
cided to visit is the lie Boeuf Floodway..
Several invitations were extended by
Representative r. J. Wilson of Louis
lana to inspect the project.
Upon advice OF Mai. Gen. Thomas
@. Ashburn. chairman OF the Inland
Waterways Corporation, the Secretary
has decided to make his trip of the en-
tire Mississippi during the daytime, and
arrangements have been made to tie
up the Engineers boat carrying the
Secretary's party each night at sun
set, no matter where the stop is made.
The FIRST inspection to be made by
the Secretary was .ons from the air
while the planes were over Chicago,
when the course of the Chicago River
was flown by the pilots to afford the
party an opportunity to view the d.
version project there.
