The Southern Pacific Company and related entities report for the year ending June 30, 1907, a gross earnings rise of over 19 million, net earnings up more than 7.6 million, and a final surplus around 5.3 million. Assets and liabilities are reallocated from 1905 to 1995 classifications, dividends are noted, and operating expenses increase due to wage scales, materials, and heavier traffic after floods. The record also details extensive work to close the Colorado River crevasse, with substantial outlays and construction of levees and protective embankments under federal prompting.
