...feet, of which between 5,000,000 and 8,000,000 acre-feet will be a silt pocket. Estimates of what the annual silt deposit will be vary from 80,000 to 250,000 acre-feet, but Government engineers opine that the total deposit in 50 years will not exceed 3.000.000 acre-feet.

...proposition is that President Lambert will receive a bonus rather than a salary. If Gillette earns less than $5 a share ($10,000,000) during any year, he will be paid nothing. If it earns $5, he will get 20,000 shares of stock. If the earnings exceed $6, he will be given another 20,000 shares.

R. locomotives pull freight and passengers over 22,438 miles of track, including the 4,379 miles of the controlled Minneapolis. St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Ry. ("Soo" Line). Much of its equipment is made in its 200 acre Angus Shops at Montreal...
...family stoutly denied a persistent report that $100,000 ransom had been paid. Xo other motive for the kidnapping was offered; no explanation of why the Post-Dispatch and Reporter Rogers were selected to reap the glory (Rogers was given a bonus of one year's salary?said to exceed $6,000?for his scoop). Opposition papers boldly hinted that the Post-Dispatch was withholding
