Physical Valuation of
Railroads
By Ray Morris.
wmmmmmm&f, HE objections to this plan may be summarized under two
heads; first, that the valuations are in themselves meaning-
Tless; second, that an attempt is being made to correlate two
1 matters having no connection with each other. It is usually
possible, though difficult to find out what the cuts, fills, tres
tles and tunnels of a railroad cost, or w’hat it would cost to
, replace them; it can also be determined that certain new
work resulting in an abandonment of the old has Been done
and that both old and new constitute a proper capital
charge. Real estate and buildings can be appraised, and we can know, with
tolerable reliability, what it would cost to rebuild the transportation machine
that is before us. But that cost bears no special relation to tho value of the
property. The value of a railroad, viewed as a single asset, is its earning
Pwcr capitalized, and nothing else whatever. Reduplicate the main lines of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford In the Rocky mountains, and you will
certainly double their so-called physical value if you measure that value by
cost of construction. Against the tremendous asset representing the physical
cost place an equal amount of liabilities representing securities sold to pay
the bill, and you wijl have a perfect balance sheet; also a company that can
not possibly remain solvent, for the earnings in the mountain country, will
be as much smaller than they are in New England as the construction cost
*’i)l be greater! Yet this reductlo ad absurdum is tho .valuation plan in a nut*

Dangerous Counterfeit Tens.
What is considered by bankers and
secret service operators to be the most
dangerous counterfeit bill since the
famous SIOO note several years ago,
has turned up in Atlanta and as a re
sult there is considerable activity
among officials of the government’s
treasury department.
This dangerous counterfeit is a ten
dollar bill of the series 1901, check
letter “A,’’ and is known as the “Buf
falo Bill.’’ So far five of them have
been discovered in Atlanta and se
cret service officials are of the opin
ion that a dangerous band of crooks
is operating in this section of the
country.

contributions to pay the debts con
tracted in behalf of the school. It
is ordered by tho trustees that the con

Problem for Comptroller.
Comptroller General William A.
Wright has a knotty problem to solve
in his capacity a sstate Insurance com
missioner. Some time Yigo the Flor
ida Life Insurance company, chartered
under the Florida laws, applied for
license to do business in Georgia. Be
fore the Georgia commissioner can
grant a license to an outside com
pany, such company must file a cer
tificate showing that it has 0100,000
in money or negotiable bonds deposit-

ed with the state treasurer.
The Florida law does not require
-such deposits. When acquaint; and with
this fact, the Florida company desired
to make the necessary deposit in Geor
gia. As it is an entirely new point,
General Wright ha3 asked the attor
ney general to render him an opinion
cn the matter.

River Survey Completed.
After having been almost continu
ously engaged for nearly two years,
surveyors have completed the work
of making a survey of the great water
power of the Chattahoochee river be
tween Columbu3 and West Point, li
has been declared that this is the
largest waterpower in the country,
with the exception of Niagara and the
result of the surveys seems to bear
out these contentions.
In a distance of 35 miles the river
falls 365 feet, affording a mighty en
ergy that is estimated to be considera
bly over 100,000 horsepower. Most of
this power is owned by the Columbus
Power company, a corporation backed
by $350,000 of New England capital,
and the surveyors who have just com
pleted their tedious task were in the
employ of this company.

Bad Vinegars Tabooed.
Vinegars made out of acids and
chemicals must vamoose from Geor
gia. Commissioner of Agriculture T.
G. Hudson has issued summons to 23
retail grocers of Atlanta, Macon, Sa
vannah and Brunswick, who are charg
ed with selling adulterated and mis
branded vinegars.
Samples were secured by State
Chemist McCandless, who made the
analysis. Not a trace of apple vine
gar was found in twenty-three of tht
thirty-three samples tested.
In his report to the commission, Ur.
McCandless says that the vinegars re
ported contained acids injurious to
health. One apple grower has written
the department that these adultera
tions have practically driven apple
vinegar out of the market and 'have
done serious injury to the npple-rai3-
tng industry.

'threatened removal of Postmistresses
Mrs. Mary Melton,at Conyers and Mrs.
Hattie F. Gilmer at Toccoa has ha-d
a far-reaching effect. It has brought
about a change of program In the post
office department.
The action of President Roosevelt in
sending for Postmaster General Meyer
following the visit of Colonel Living
ston to the v/hite house is taken to |
mean that the president will turn down |
Mr. Hitchcock. The latter will prob- j
ably still make nominations and chang
es, but these will be scrutinized and
revised carefully by the postmaster
general before being passed on to the
president.
If any more postmasters or postmis
tresses are to be put out, and that is
not improbable, the president proposes
to see that they are shperseded by
Taft men and not Cortelyou workers
That is the crux of the whole mat
ter. The fight for delegates to the
national convention is on in earnest.
Mr. Hitchcock is one of Mr. Cortel
you’s most active lieutenants, while
Mr. Meyer, the postmaster general, is
friendly to Mr. Taft.

Freedom Near for Counterfeiters.
With the release from the federal
prison at Atlanta on December 29 of
P. S. Coffee, formerly a farmer and
mill owner of Henry county, the sen
sational counterfeiting case which stir
red Atlanta in 1904 will be revived.
When Coffee receives his liberty,
there will be only one remaining in
the prison and he will be released
shortly after the first of the new year.
The last of the group, a citizen of
Atlanta, is .1. N. Little.
The others of the group received
shorter sentences and have been en
joying liberty for some time.
The case which sent four Atlanta
m?n to the prison and caused the ar-;
rest of two others occurred in 1904,,
and the plot to float $13,000 in “Buf
falo” bank notes was nipped by se
cret service officers.
It was charged by the government
that Coffee was the man who furnished
the money to have the counterfeit
plates made. Little was charged with
having been tho go-between and the
man who secured an engraver to do
the crooked work.
Rebb were two pressmen who were
convicted by the government and sent
m>. It war. charged they printed the
queer and that U ill l l ' ynne made the
plates. Wynne confessed and was -
used by the government as a witness.
He admitted helping to make tho
plates, and implicated Charles Mans
ion, another engraver, but no con
viction was secured in the case of
Manston.
Coffee and Little were sentenced to
pay a fine cf each and to serve
four years. McMiehael and Rebb got
35G0 each and two years. The case
against Wynne was quashed by the
government.
Doubtless the way or the Van#-
gressor may be hard, but the people
who travel thereon have no time to

“MADAM BUTTERFLY.”
Fascinating Japanese Opera To Be
Given at the Grand in Atlanta Jan. 2.
Pussini's fascinating Japane&e gr'and
opera, “Madam Butterfly,” the flowery
music of which has captivated the
opera loving world of two continents
during the past two seasons, will ap
pear in Atlanta for a matinee and
night performance at the Grand on
Thursday, January 2nd. This famous
masterpiece will be presented, by Mr.
Henry W. Savage’s celebrated and well
remembered English Grand Opera com
pany with lcs complete forces of im
ported artists and grand opera orches
tra of nearly fifty symphony players.
This opera with its haunting melo
dies, its deeply interesting romantic
story, its alluring scenic beauties, with
its superb artists and splendid orches
tra has proved no less than a sensation
wherever it was presented. To produce
it Mr. Savage is credited with having
organized the finest of all his com
panies. The entire company, number
ing nearly one hundred and fifty people,
travels on its own special train, that
will carry it throughout its entire cross
continent tour. Owing to the unusual
and picfhresque of the scenes
in the opera, the company is required
to furnish a most elaborate electrical
equipment, so that it could give the per
formance, if necessary, without the use
of any of the local stage effects. All
in all, “Madam Butterfly’’ is such an
expensive undertaking that an unusual
scale of prices is necessary to pay for
the performance. These will be as
follows: lower floor seats $2.00, $2.00.
balcony, $2.00, $1.50, $1.00; gallery,
SI.OO. For the matinee the gallery will
be 50 cents. Seats are now on sale and
orders from outside towns- with remit
tance payable to Mr. H. L. DeGive,
manager Grand opera house, will re
ceive prompt attention.

trict of Columbia court in granting
