UNION PACIFICTAKIHG STOCK
Valuation Being Hade of the Entire
Harriman Syitem.
WOETH OP PROPERTY TJHXNOWN
Effort to Be Made to Show that tao
' Llaea An Not Overcapitalised
' Taak Started Tare
Years Ago.
The Harriman system. Including the
Union Pacific, the Oregon Short Line and
the Southern Pacific, November 9, 1900,
began the task of securing physical
valuation of all the properties. A large
number of men, all experts In their re
spective lines, were employed and they
have since then been constantly at work.
On some of the lines of the Harriman
sytem the work of securing this physical
valuation has been completed, but on
the Union Pacific It will not be finished
until the middle of September. When the
work Is finished the officials in charge
will be in a position to tell to a penny
the value of the property. The men who
have been and who are doing the work
have taken into account every item, re
gardless of how small, or how large.
For instance, on one scnedule will be
hown the value of articles as Small as
spikes, while on others will be the ap
praised value of locomotives, passenger
coaches and other equipment, while on
still, others will be placed the valuation
of right-of-way, cltjr and town lots, lands
and buildings.
The men at the head of the Harriman
system of noads have a purpose in finding
out just what the property is worth. They
want to be in a position so that If state
or national laws are passed they will
have the proof to present showing Just
what the real value of the lines of the
system and the property Is, thus counter
acting the idea that stock it watered and
that an effort is and has been made to
pay dividends on watered stock and In
flated valuation.
Ke One Kaows Value.
. There is still another and more im
portant reason for ascertaining the real
value of the properties of the lines that
go to make up the Harriman system.
While some officials even Intimate that
it is not the best kind of a business pol
icy, all of them agree that at this time
there is no man living wh can tell the
actual value of the great properties.
Some twenty-odd years ago, when the
Union Paolflo and soiie other lines that
now make up the Harriman system went
into the hands of receivers, an inventory
of the property and a physical valuation
was made on an order of the court
When the property was bought In by the
Jate Edward H. Harriman he took over
right-of-way,' lands, terminals,' bridges,
equipment and rolling stock. Since then
millions upon millions of dottars have
bien put into extensions, 'repairs, better
ment and new work, but nowhere In the
archives of the offices la there a balance
sheet showing Just what the Harriman
( property was worth ten years ago last
January, last January or. June SO, the
end 6( the fiscal year.
":ln many lines of business account of
stock is taken the first of each-year and
the executive head then knows Just what
;the financial condition is and just how
much has been made or lost on every
dollar of invested capital
. From time to time and at regular Inter
nals for the last twenty years valuations
, have been made on properties in various
departments, but at no time has the en
tire volume of assets been gone into and
valued right down to the actual worth.
When the figures on the valuation of
' the Union Pacific are completed, and verl-
. fled they will be given to the public, but
at this time an estimate on them, accord
'r,ing to company officials,, would be the
' wildest kind of a guess. However, offi
cials say with a feeling of perfect assur
ance that the company Is not overcapt
: tallied and that the stock is not loaded
VP with water. : '
Good Start is Made
for Funds for the
Old People's Home
Rev. C. ST.. Savidge now bas In the
bank $972.63 as a start on the fund for the
Old People's Home which be proposes to
build at Florence. This amount came
from one source.
When George Magney read in the
papers Saturday evening the account of I
the proposed home he Immediately "told
his wife of a check be had for Just such
a purpose and be forthwith sent the
money to Mr. Savidge.
When Mrs. Dick Kimball died In 106
she left money for the care of Mrs. Dr.
Luce as long as she lived. This was used
at the rate of $60 a month during the life
of Mrs. Luce. The will provided that
the remainder of the fund should go to
a 'home for old and invalid people.
The amount was $97162 and this has
been given to Mr. Savidge.
