J.F. Wilson and J. u. MilIard. Gov
erpment Directors of the Union Pachc
r. r. have made report TO the Secreta
ry of the Interior, in which they state
that with proper management, especial~
ly in the freight department., they do not
doubt that the gross earnings may, IN q
short time, increase to S12,OOo,Ooo per
annum. When this point is reached 1t
is not difficult to see that the road would
be competent to protect the full interest
which the Government has therein. The
road is not an expensive one 10 operate.
In this respect it can be kept below the
average of the roads in the United
States. After careful investigation OF
the subject, they do not hesitate to exN
press their opinion that this financial
result can be obtained within the next
two years. The capabilities of the road
are so great that they would not be un-
derstood as fixing S12, 900, 900 as its max
imum receipts. They cannottwo strong
ly urge that some means be devised fer
the localzation of the executive power
of the Company. This once effected, a
multitude of obstacles which now retard
and obstruct the developement of busl-
ness throughout all the vast region OF
country over which the road extends,
would disappear.
