The years earnings from railroad bust
ness show an increase over those OF the
previous year OF say $4,000. aud are
slightly better than those Of 1898, which
was the best year in the previous history Of
the road. The falling of In local business
has been checked and an increase is again
shown. The passenger traffic also shows
sOne improvement. These are indications
that the country tributary TO the road is re-
covering from the effects OF the floods Of the
previous years. The permanent value OF the
superior facilities " hich the road has at ter
mina points Is demonstrated 10y the con.
tinued increase in connection business. In
which there is a gain OF l6 per cent. over
last year, and what is more encouraging, the
decline In rates, which for years has been
continuous, has come 20 halt.
Upon the whole, the results OF the years
operations are encouraging. There has not
been such marked Improvement as some OF
the roads OF the State have been favored
With, but there are indications Of potential
growth watch wal rant hopeful expectations
for the future Of the road.
