You will observe a decrease in pro-
ceeds of our railroad labor for No
vember of S114999 as compared with
the month of October. This was
occasioned partly by having the
measles on one OF our farms on the
International and Great Northern
railroad. and also by the great amount
OF rain in November.
Trusting that you will find my re-
ports correct and satisfactory,
l am very respectfully, etc,
