IN SHIP SHAPE.
A Government Official Looking
Up the Railroads,
Makes Favorable Comments on
the U. P's Standing.
The Western Roads Finally
Reach a Settlement.
A Good Word for the U. P.

WASHINGTON, September 24.-Mr.
Pickerell, of the Railroad Bureau, Int
rior Department, has Just returned from
his regular tour Of inspection and exam
nation of the accounts Of the Pacific rail
roads. He was accompanied by a civil
engineer, and he has brought back an
immense amount Of data from which will
be prepared the annual report of the
Commissioner of Railroads. No figures
could be obtained from Pickerell, but in a
general conversation about the condition
of the roads he admitted they were not
now earning as much az they did last
year. This he ascribed to competition
and the consequent reduction of rates, but
the condition of the roads is fairly healthy
and the business done is legitimate and
increasing. Although the Central and
Union Pacific have both passed dividends,
Pickerell considers them fairly paying
properties, There are, however, in his
opinion, too many railroads in the West
for the population, and until the country
grows more they cannc pay very big in
terest on the money invested. Concern
ing the Union Pacific, Pickerell says the
main line is paying $4,000 per mile.
The consolidated system of 1920 miles is
paying more than the operating expenses
and dividends. The branch lines, aggre-
eating $500 miles are a drag. Many of
them are not paying expenses. Should
the branch lines not pick up, or should
thy continue to absorb the earnings of
of the main line, the Union Pacific can,
at any time, as a matter of policy, drop
them, as it owns the stock and bonds and
can dispose of them by sale 1t may he
considered wise on the other hand to
keep them, in order to ward of opposi-
ton. The Union Pacific proper is a good
property. The lines from Omaha TO
Ogden, Kansas City to Denver, and Den
yer 10 the Pacific are all doing well.
