GRAND COUIlEE CAN
PAY FOR fFsFaF

For two major reasons congress
should carry the Grand Coulee pro-
Hect to completion.
/. It is self-liquidating. 1t will
pay for itself, return all the money
appropriated for it, and eventually
be a profit Garner for the govern
ment. Sam B. Hill emphasized that
in his able speech May 20 in the
house. when he said:
;:'Let me remind you. further
more, that when the government
builds the Grand Coulee dam and
the power plant, the government
will own the property. This prop
erty not only will pay back its
cost. but after the cost is paid it
will pay into the treasury $751;
100000 q year in net revenue. The
point I want to emphasize is that
the dam and power plant will be-
long to the United States govern
ment, and will pay for itself over
and over again."
2. 1t will fill an economic need
The Pacific northwest is deficient
in coal and oil. but surprisingly
rich in water power. Large power
development on the Columbia will
balance Dur national resources. 1t
is essential to development of In
ks>fh In rO
But the Grand Coulee project Is
more than power. 1t is flood con-
troll, an aid to navigation, and ev-
entually will reclaim rich arid
lands that will be an offsetting as.
set to erosion by wind and water
and exhaustion of soil fertility.

ported consolidated net income for
itself and its % associated companies

u months ended February 20, 1885.

pany on a parent-compsny basis for
the IL months ended March 81, 1886,
subject to minor changes. showed net
income Of s130.157.0s5, equal to s6.97
a share. This compared with $ll8,-
9l6,232, or $6.37 a share for the IL
months ended March 81, 1885.
In making the report on a 12-
month basis, the company complied
with the recent request made to listed
corporations by the New York Stock
Exchange for interim reports. It was
the first time the company had made
q statement on this basis.
American Telephones toll and long
distance calls in the first three months
of 1885 were up about 13 per cent
from the like period Of 1884. Walter
s. Clifford, president, stated.

A stockholder queried Clifford re-
garding the activities of the company
in the motion picture field. Clifford
said that the company's interest in

profitable and that at present some
100000 was invested in the financing
OF pictures.
The total Of pictures financed, he
said. represented only nine tenths of
/ per cent Of the motion picture pro-
duction Of the country. American
Telephone, he stated, had no desire
to 60 into the motion picture business
in a big way. He revealed. however,
that motion picture business has
brought in more than 100000 to
stockholders Of American Telephone
through activities of various subsid-
iaries in that line Of business.
