WHAT STUBBS DID NOT SAY REAL REASON FOR LOW RAILWAY DIVIDENDS Western Development Company And Other Construction Companies Operated by Railway Magnates Amassed Cream of Stockholders' Profits—Profits on Building Roads At the meeting of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress held in San Francisco a while ago, J. C. Stubbs, of the Southern Pacific, represented E. H. Harriman, who had been invited to speak before the congress, but could not be there. In Harriman's place, Mr. Stubbs made an address to the congress which, carefully prepared and read, may be taken as a calm and authoritative statement of the position taken by the railroad people as regards their relations to the public. There was much in that address to furnish food for thought; there was much in it which points to the conclusion that, even if Mr. Stubbs did say the contrary, the railroads do not want to be really regulated and that they look upon any attempts at such regulation as infringements of the rights of property and of the individuals who happen to be in control of that property. One of the matters which Mr. Stubbs discussed most at length was the question of the investment of money in railroads.“The history of our railroads shows that the stockholders usually have been disappointed by the returns they have received.” And he then went thern Pacifics had their side corporations, which absorbed the greater portion of the revenues of these two roads, so the Union Pacific had its Credit Mobilier. Nor did he call attention to the fact that the Central Pacific was leased, at a low rental, to the Southern Pacific, and that the latter was leased, also at a low rental to the Southern Pacific Company of Kentucky; and that, therefore, many millions of dollars, which ought to have gone as dividends to the stock of the Central and Southern Pacific railroads, went as dividends to the stockholders of the Southern Pacific Company of Kentucky. Nor did Mr. Stubbs say that the Union Pacific did not pay dividends to amount to anything until its stock fell into the hands of the Harriman people, and paid them then only because, as in the case of the Central Pacific, it was no longer necessary in order to get the money into the proper pockets, to give it to Credit Mobilier or other side corporations. Today, because Harriman's people own about all its stock, the Union Pacific now pays twelve per cent on its stock, all of which is, by the way, “water.” Is it any wonder, remembering how it was juggled, that the Union Pacific, from 1884 to 1906, when the Harrimans had gotten most of the stock, paid, on the average, only 1.5 percent in dividends? But one and one-half per cent dividends on Union Pacific stock, which cost its stockholders nothing, is a big dividend. Another thing that Mr. Stubbs did not mention about the Union Pacific was that the stock of this road — $100,000,000 in par value—was given, for nothing, to the promoters of that road which built on the Central The Monkey and the An Indian faker had a name he had brought up from an English writer.

As the oceaceeded the savory smell was for the monkey. It raised and tasted the chicken. Food very tasty, it ate more until nothing but the crust. Then it remembered its right would shortly return hungry to enjoy his meal. What done? The sharp eyes of detectors some crows not fear without loss of time it lay the ground as if dead. Brow came along and peeked monkey, which seized the twinkling, strangled it, stri feathers, placed it in pl dish, covered it over with and then contentedly awake turn of the faker, to whose incident was related by an Left Handed Vituper Most counties in England idiomatic expressions to handedness, and they are fixed to the unfortunate child's name. In London kack handed, the word equivalent to awkwardshire is k-pawed, in Y lock or gawk handed, and dating back to at least the century. In Derbyshire terms keg handed, cork corky handed, while in district cuddy handed is in Nottinghamshire wallet. In the south of England terms to denote left hand also found. In Dorset trary, the railroads do not want to be really regulated and that they look upon any attempts at such regulation as infringements of the rights of property and of the individuals who happen to be in control of that property. One of the matters which Mr. Stubbs discussed most at length was the question of the investment of money in railroads. "The history of our railroads shows that the stockholders usually have been disappointed by the returns they have received." And he then went on to compare the returns upon capital invested in various business enterprises in the country with the returns to stockholders in the railroads, showing that railroad dividends have been much smaller in percentage on capitalization than the returns which other businesses have made. You will have noticed, perhaps, that Mr. Stubbs spoke only of the railroad stockholder in his comparisons, and said nothing about the bondholders and the promoters. He did not say, for instance, anything about the fact that the promoters of the Central Pacific—Stanford, Huntington, Crocker and Hopkins—had, among them all, less than a half a million dollars when they began to promote the Central Pacific, or that, when they died, each of them left an estate valued at tens of millions of dollars. Nor did Mr. Stubbs inform his hearers that these immense fortunes were made by means of Contract and Finance, Western Development and Pacific Improvement Companies, the stockholders and directors in which were Messrs. Stanford, Huntington, Crocker and Hopkins, who, also being directors of the Central Pacific, let construction contracts, at enormous prices, to themselves, as directors of these side corporations. In this way, the revenues of the Central Pacific went for many years principally into the pockets of four of its stockholders, Stanford, Huntington, Crocker and Hopkins; while the other stockholders of the road got no dividends at all. When, however, after many years of this kind of financial prestidigitation, the stockholders who were not "on the inside" got tired of holding stock which paid them no dividends and sold it for what they could get for it, Stanford, Huntington, Crocker and Hopkins bought it. And when they had acquired nearly all the stock of the road, then the side corporations were dispensed with, and the Central Pacific began to pay dividends. From 1885 to 1906, said Mr.Stubbs, Great Increase Shown In All Sections Of Country The United States has $30,000,000,000 invested in farm lands, their buildings, machinery and livestock, according to a census taken by an eastern publication. From 1,000,000 in 1850 the number of farms has increased to nearly 7,000,000 in 1909. The report adds: "No such increase in agricultural land values was ever known before in the history of the world in any country. The value of farms in the United States has increased 44 per cent more than in 1900, the figures of that year showing an increase of 25 per cent over the previous decade." The most remarkable figures presented show that the Western section, which includes New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and other states, has in the past 10 years shown an increase in the number of farms was juggled, that the Union Pacific, from 1884 to 1906, when the Harrimans had gotten most of the stock, paid, on the average, only 1.5 percent in dividends? But one and one-half per cent dividends on Union Pacific stock, which cost its stockholders nothing, is a big dividend. Another thing that Mr. Stubbs did not mention about the Union Pacific was that the stock of this road — $100,000,000 in par value—was given for nothing, to the promoters of that road, which was built, as the Central Pacific was, by the issuance of bonds. Now, the Union Pacific, like the Central Pacific, had to pay interest on these bonds. The money to do this, the Union Pacific, of course, got, in freights and fares, from the people who therefore, paid interest on the cost of the road, which cost was, because of the way the road was "milked" in the building, at least twice as great as it should have been. The people, therefore, without being called upon to pay dividends on Union Pacific stock really pay twice the amount of money they should be called on to pay for their use of the Union Pacific. And when, in addition to this double return, the Union Pacific pays twelve per cent dividends on its stock, it will readily be perceived that Mr. Harriman, improving on the Credit Mobilier methods of his predecessors in Union Pacific control, compelled us to pay, in interest and dividends, returns on the cost of that road which far exceeded the nine per cent.—Oakand Enquirer. FARM LAND VALUES Great Increase Shown In All Sections Of Country The United States has $30,000,000,000 invested in farm lands, their buildings, machinery and livestock, according to a census taken by an eastern publication. From 1,000,000 in 1850 the number of farms has increased to nearly 7,000,000 in 1909. The report adds: "No such increase in agricultural land values was ever known before in the history of the world in any country.

And when they had acquired nearly all the stock of the road, then the side corporations were dispensed with, and the Central Pacific began to pay dividends. From 1885 to 1906, said Mr. Stubbs, the Southern Pacific paid dividends averaging only one per cent on its capitalization. He did not, however, explain that the Southern Pacific was built, as the Central Pacific was, by side corporations, the stock in which was held by "The Big Four," who, by this means, put into their own pockets millions which ought to have gone into dividends on Southern Pacific stock. Neither did Mr. Stubbs say that both the Central and the Southern Pacifics were so manipulated that they cost twice as much as they should have cost. Nor did he say that this excessive cost of these two roads was paid for, not by the money of those who promoted them, but by bonds, which Stanford, Huntington, Crocker and Hopkins, as stock holders of the side corporations, put into their own pockets as pay for constructing the road at enormous prices. Having cost, in bonds, twice what they should, and having to pay the interest on these bonds, is it any wonder that these two roads paid no dividends for many years, or that the Southern Pacific paid, on the average, only one per cent on the par value of its stock from 1885 to 1906? But one per cent on the "watered" capitalization of the Southern Pacific is a big dividend on stock which cost its holders nothing. Speaking of the Union Pacific, Mr. Stubbs said that the average dividends paid on its stock were only 1.5 per cent. But he did not inform his hearers that, as the Central and Sou- land values was ever known before in the history of the world in any country. The value of farms in the United States has increased 44 per cent more than in 1900, the figures of that year showing an increase of 25 per cent over the previous decade. The most remarkable figures presented show that the Western section, which includes New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and other states, has in the past 10 years shown an increase in the number of farms of 100 per cent. At the same time the value has increased 98 per cent and the products 211 per cent. Values of farms in the south central states have increased 58 percent and in the north central states 43 per cent. In the north Atlantic states there has been an increase in value of 13 per cent, and in the south Atlantic states an increase of 34 per cent.

Taylor, head of the Pathological Department of the university will send to Washington. Dr. Taylor is one of the five referees appointed by President Roosevelt as Stanford arbiters in the fight between the fruit growers and Chief Chemist Wiley of the Department of Agriculture. The report carries the result of tests made upon a "poison squad" of 14 students who have been eating sulphured curled fruits steadily since September and increased in weight instead of feeling ill effects that chemists of the government had predicted.

An Indian faker had a monkey that he had brought up from babyhood, says an English writer. The pair were best friends, the monkey being a faithful attendant on his master and as good as a watchdog. One day the maker made a pie for dinner and left it to cook on a charcoal fire while he went for a walk. As the cooking proceeded the savory smell was too much for the monkey. It raised the crust and tasted the chicken. Finding the food very tasty, it ate more and more until nothing but the crust remained. When it remembered its master, who would shortly return hungry and ready to enjoy his meal. What was to be done? The sharp eyes of the monkey detected some crows not far away, so without loss of time it lay down on the ground as if dead. By and by a grow came along and pecked at the monkey, which seized the bird in a swinkling, strangled it, stripped off the feathers, placed it in pieces in the fish, covered it over with the crust and then contentedly awaited the return of the faker, to whom the whole incident was related by an eyewitness. Left Handed Vituperatives. Most counties in England have their idiomatic expressions to denote left handedness, and they are often prefixed to the unfortunate left handed child's name. In London the term is skack handed, the word being also equivalent to awkward. In Lancashire it is k-pawed, in Yorkshire galock or gawk handed, an expression dating back to at least the seventeenth century. In Derbyshire are used the terms keg handed, cork handed and corky handed, while in the Teesdale District cuddy handed is common and in Nottinghamshire wallet handed. In the south of England special terms to denote left handedness are also found. In Dorset it is scramble JAPS BUY OIL. Ten Year Contract Let By a Kern County Company. Pittsburg, Jan. 1.—A syndicate headed by John A. Treadwell, California’s millionaire mine owner and railway magnate has just signed a contract with the Japanese Government to deliver 10,000,000 barrels of California oil yearly for the next ten years, two years from date, and this afternoon the Treadwell syndicate closed a contract with the American Rotary Tunnel and Development Company, of Denver, Col., to cut an eight-foot tunnel through the Coast Range mountains in Southwestern Kern county, California, which is to be eighteen miles long. These statements were made today by R. Sigenluss of Denver, president of the American Rotary Tunnel Company, who having closed his contract at the Waldorf in New York yesterday is on his way home to Denver. “Mr. Treadwell’s syndicate has discovered a new oil field in California which is located sixty miles southwest of the sunset district in Kern county. They have purchased 31,000 acres of this land, which is located in the Coast Range and within sixty days ten of our machines will be on the ground in operation. “The new oil field has been discovered by Mr. Griest, who for the past ten years has been field manager of the Standard Oil Company. The oil has a paraffine base instead.” A Reliable Remedy FOR CATARRH Ely’s Cream Balm is quickly absorbed. Gives Relief at Once.

Wagner, deceased, the undersigned, the administratrix of the said estate, will sell at private sale, to the highest and best bidder, for cash, in gold coin of the United States, and subject to confirmation by said Superior Court, on or after Saturday, January 15, 1910, all of the right, title, interest and estate of the said George L.

Wagner, at time of his death in and to Bursting Balloons. The greatest danger of a high ascent in a balloon is concerned with the changing density of the atmosphere. On the ground the atmosphere presses on the balloon with a weight of about fifteen pounds for every square inch of its surface. As the balloon rises, however, the air grows thinner and its pressure becomes in consequence less and less. As the pressure of the outside atmosphere decreases the balloon expands, and if the ascension is made too rapidly or without sufficient care the gas inside the silk envelope will expand until the balloon bursts. But the bursting of a balloon in mid-air is by no means necessarily a fatal catastrophe. Every balloon is provided with a "ripping cord" which, when pulled, cuts a long rent in the envelope out of which the gas speedily escapes. The silk bag is then carried by the air into the upper portion of the netting, where in the majority of cases it forms a parachute and brings everything safely to earth. Doubtful Praise. Mr. Faxon was the oldest patron of the "select boarding house" in which he lived, and his landlady sometimes referred people to him for a recommendation of her table. His wish was to praise the food highly, as he could conscientiously do, but one day he overstepped his mark. "I'm dyspeptic, sir," said a man who had gone to Mr. Faxon to make inquiries about the boarding house, "and my food has to be simple and well cooked—no high seasoning, no indigestible compounds." Mr. Faxon looked at him with a bland and reassuring smile. "My dear sir," he said in his most impressive manner, "you need have no fears. All I have eaten in the ten years I have been under Mrs. Brown's roof would not interfere with the diathermy which is located sixty miles southwest of the sunset district in Kern county. They have purchased 31,000 acres of this land, which is located in the Coast Range and within sixty days ten of our machines will be on the ground in operation. "The new oil field has been discovered by Mr. Griest, who for the past ten years has been field manager of the Standard Oil Company. The oil has a paraffine base instead of asphalt and I have seen in New York samples of the crude oil which is so heavy in kerosene it can be burned in lamps. "The tunnel which we are to drive for them is to be eighteen miles long and eight feet in diameter. It will be lined inside with a solution of silica or liquid glass and will act as a huge tank capable of holding 18,000,000 barrels as well as transporting the oil from the field to the sea level. The tunnel will have a depth of 487 feet. The contract let to the new syndicate was formerly held by the Associated Oil Companies of Kern county, but they were unable to supply a sufficient quantity of oil. "The wells of the new company are to be drilled under a new system and are to be from six to eight feet in diameter, acting partially as reservoirs." The oil is to be used by Japan on its battleships. HUNTER AGAINST BEAR. Life and Death Struggle Reported from Maine Woods. The Forks, Me., Jan. 1.—Ernest Gubtil, of New Vineyard, is recovering from terrible lacerations and bruises which he received in a fight to the death with a giant black bear. He is the fourth hunter in this locality to be attacked this year by bear. Gubtil had a marvelous escape from death. He had been hunting deer and moose between Cold and Chase streams and had just dropped a magnificent buck close to Flatiron Pond. He leaned his rifle against a tree nearby and was skinning and dressing the deer. Suddenly he received a tremendous buffet on the left side of his head and face. His hunting knife flew from his hand and Gubtil was knocked to the ground half stunned.

Most curious of the old time superstitions of New England was the custom of requiring lovers to watch the corpse. It associated the hopes of marriage with the silent vigil, was poetic and has only disappeared from the oldest towns within a generation. No obligation of the social conscience was more scrupulously regarded than that a dead body should never be left alone at night. In the earliest days the solemn watchers were old men and women, deacons, selectmen, but as the colonies grew honest lovers with plighted troths were frequently selected for these long vigils. Safer.

He had been hunting deer and moose between Cold and Chase streams and had just dropped a magnificent buck close to Flatiron Pond. He leaned his rifle against a tree nearby and was skinning and dressing the deer. Suddenly he received a tremendous buffet on the left side of his head and face. His hunting knife flew from his hand and Gubtil was knocked to the ground half stunned. As he tried to struggle to his feet a huge black bear flung itself upon him. The bear clawed and tore at the prostrate man. Gubtil managed to roll over and over, fighting and kicking every inch of the way to where his rifle stood. Blood was flowing from deep scratches in his face, body, arms and legs. When he got his rifle he had to use every ounce of his strength to get the gun in position to shoot. He pulled the trigger just as the bear rose to give him the death hug, and man and beast dropped to the ground, the one exhausted, the other with a mortal wound. Among the patients in a certain hospital of Harrisburg there was recently one disposed to take a dark view of his chances for recovery. "Cheer up, old man." admonished the youthful medico attached to the ward wherein the patient lay. "Your symptoms are identical with those of my own case four years ago. I was just as sick as you are. Look at me now." The patient ran his eyes over the physician's stalwart frame. "What doctor did you have?" he finally asked, feebly. For Sale: Shop, stock and tools of the West Anaheim Machine Works.
