FREIGHT, PASSENGER
TRAFFIC ON G. n. IN
1914 SETS NEW MARK

st. Paul, April 25.-An all-time
record volume of freight and pas
senger transportation in 1914 gave
Great Northen railway the largest
gross revenue in its history and a
net income $3,806,41S' greater than
in 1913, F. E. Gavin, president, has
informed stockholders in the COM
pany's annual report.
Great Northern's operating rev.
enues totaled $207, 657 ,795 last year,
exceeding those of 1913 by more
than seven millions. Net income in
1914 was $23,396,966 as compared
with $19,590,54S in the preceding
year.
Although the railways service as
a military supply line was the out
standing accomplishment of last
year, Gavin emphasized to stock
holders another important achieve
ment-further reduction of the COM
pany's bonded debt and fixed
charges. In 1916 Great Northern's
fixed charges will be approximately
100000 as compared with S19,-
3ZS,ZZ1 ten years ago.
The railways funded debt was re-
duced nearly "a millions in 1914,
allowing for the calling of 120 mil
lions in bonds and the issuing of
100 millions in new bonds at sub
stantially lower interest rates. Near
ly 80 millions in debt maturing in
1916, 1913 and 1862 were retired.
Comparing Great Northern opera
tons in the two World wars, the
report shows that although 1914
operating revenues were LOT mill
larger than in 1918, net in
come last year was only three mil
lions greater than the concluding
year of the first World war. Tax
.accruals in 1918 were seven mil
lions, compared to 40 millions in
1914.
In 1914 the railway transported
billion tons of revenue freight
one mile, compared to 81 billion
tons in 1918. Revenue passengers
carried one mile last year totaled
more than IL billion as against
e601 millions in 1918.
Great Northern had 6,140 fewer
cars, 494 fewer passenger
,ars and ACT less locomotives in
1914 than in 1918.
Commenting on this years opera
ions, Gavin said: "It is apparent
he railway will be expected to
continue in 1916 its important
in handling record volumes of
var materials and civilian essen
ials. This will be the greatest con-
;ribution to the principal objective
If all of us-the Fastening of final
'ictory."

DESCRIBES,
DEMONSTRATES ART Of
MAKING ARROW HEADS

Laurel Rotarians heard an inter
esting lecture Tuesday on the re-
discovered art of making Indian ar
row heads when Lyman H. Andrews,
Billings factory manager of the
Great Western Sugar company, adj
dressed the club. Although his voca-
ton pertains to beets and sugar,
with the securing of labor as an
important item in recent years, the
factory manager has several hob
bies. Making arrow points that
equal the best produced by ancient
hunters and warriors is one. In
passing, he expressed the opinion
that more people would live longer
and happier if they had a diversity
of interests.
Andrews became interested in ar
row points several years ago. He
searched libraries, but found slight
information on the art of making
them. Then he began experiment
ing. His first method was per-
cussion-striking one stone against
another. 1t worked fairly well, but
the results were not fine enough
and the arrow heads often broke.
experiments resulted in US
ing a deer's antler or an animal
tooth as a tool for pressing off
chips. After practice he be-
came quite expert and produced
spear heads and arrow heads fully
duplicating the Indians.
He wished to make d%efleshing
scrapers such as the Indians had
used to clean animal hides, speci-
mems of which are still found, and
again succeeded. Stone hatchets
and clubs came in for attention and
he produced them too.
He did not know how when he
began, but he learned as he tried,
and his experience lent new mean
ng to the working sites where the
I'D hunters had fashioned their wea-
oons, leaving behind them the chips
If flint, unfinished blanks, and
that had broken when they
we're near completion.
1t takes time, patience and skill
make a good arrow point, but
Andrews found the effort well re-
varded him. Through it he had
,ome interesting experiences with in
eresting people, and on n &C.
aston puzzled the experts from
He brought along recollection of
.rrow and spear points that were
f Indian origin and others that he
iad made. There appeared to be
difference. J.
