Haven are increasing at the rate ‘of
about 98. 000 a day. and the earnings
for the month at September are likely
to show an increase of 9225, 000 to
$250. 000 '
While this is a substantial increase.
it is not so good an increase as in

the tread has had in yours The earn
ings in July increased nearly 9450. 000
and the increase up to September 1
has amounted to nearly 8925. 000.
It is fair at this time to expect an
increase for the month of September *
at 9250. 000, which will make a gain
for the current quarts; of between 91‘;
v1.100 000 and 01.200, 0100.

It is the best quarter the New Haven
has ever had. No other similar quarter
has shown such increase in earnings.
Theenbarest approach to it was two
years ago. when gross earnings showed
an increase for the oSeptember quarter
of nearly $1, 000. 000
There will be an increase in net
earnings. It will not be heavy, but it
will be an increase. “Foreign" cars

course. there is a tremendous advance
in the per diem rate.
While there are signs of a lei-up in
business in the New Haven territory.
,which by no means says that such
signs will materialize. a recession in
business in New England is not likely
to mean anything further than that the
earnln s of the New Haven road. mile
for mi e. will not show big increases.
In recent years of recession, when
granger roads and others have shown
losses in earnings. the earnings of
the New Haifbn road have at least re
mained steady. The following figures.
showing gross receipts for a series of
years. will illustrate the point:

‘Estimatcd
The New llavon is in good position
to stand any business recession that
may set in. The property is in such
prime physical condition and there has
been so much money stuck between
its ribs. that there is enough fat stored
away for it to live on. for a year or
two at the least.
The New Haven could easily go for
two or three years without relaying a
rail except, of course. such as might
be broken. Every tie is a sound one,
relatively speaking. and it has not
been the policy to wait until ties rot
before takiugathem out. As soon as
«deterioration makes itself felt. a new
one is put in, and so on. many illus.
tratlons might be given.
The operating department of the
New Haven. if left to itself. would ubt
be known as a “world beater." The
president of the road is his own gell-
erol manager. but it cannot be my in».

We financial end and the operating
end as wall.
Except for the fact that its presi-
dent lsa big traffic man. keeps close
tabs on the detailed figures of opera-
tion and has statistics piled round him
to a degree that is surpassed probably
only by J. J. Hill. the New Haven
road. under the rigorous conditions
that are now prevailing. would be
slipping its operating colts pretty eas-
ily and its operating ration might be
found soaring Ikywards.

the departments of such a business.
and aim to make a thorough and ex-
haustive economic report on that en-

is our duty to give the facts in our

practical interest that is enjoyable. It
combines a considerable degree of law
work. but involves a much larger field.
The bureau of corporations comes into
contact with the interstate commerce
commission to a certain extent, but the
commlsdion's work is quite separate.
The interstate commission has to do
with the railroads doing an interstate

the larger steamboat lines connecting
with the railroads. The department of
commerce and labor takes up the other
departments relating to commerce and

MR. IRELAND’S STATEMENT.
Mr. Editor: in the columns of your
issue Friday Mr. Hill stated that the
cause of my being bitten by the bull
dog at his house Thursday morning
was from my teasing him on previous
.occasiona. Would like to deny any
such statements made to that effect.
and would say that whenever going to
his house could never get near enough
to the ugly beast to tease it. as it was
either chained out in the rear, quite
a distance from the house. or else
shut up in a room inside. if i was
bitten for lamenting the canine. why
did its own mistress get bitten in the
elbow? She must have been teasing
the canine also. When Mr. Hill as
rived on the scene Thursday morning
Mrs. Rose James told him that l al-
Lway's acted afraid of the dog. Don’t
think if having any fear of the beast
would be up t to tease him a great
deal All the demented was a chance
to get at some y and show them
what he could do. and it wouldnt be
necessary to tease him to have him
tackle anybody. either. [defy any
person to go there on business without
the dog acting as if he would hear
them into ribbons if he had a chance.
and there wouldn't be any need of teas-
ing to have him show it.
