The increased earnings OF all railroad lines
In the northwest during the past nine months,
when, excepting the Northern Pacific, none
of the roads had any grain worth mentioning
to carry, illustrates the growth Of the coun-
try tributary TO these roads. Previously
wheat and corn furnished the bulk of the
freight during moet Of the year, and the
money paid for this grain was expected to buy
the goods that would constitute the retnrn
freight. But last season there was no grain
| TO 90 east. The movement OF freight west,
| however, increased beyond all precedent, as
did the shipment Of stock eastward. It can
safely be predicted that each year grain will
constitute less per cent. Of the freight sent
from the northwest TO the east. Instead, the
bulk of the east gong freight will be stock.
The failure of the grain crop will then be less
of disaster to the railroads end to the farm
ers.

following in regard to this line and the busi.
ness OF the Northwestern roads:
Asioux City man, just back from the new
