boston, March ~ (specaD. Linton Pacific rccov-

Wise to resume tho payment Of dividends In view OF
the unsettled condition Of the railroads. of the West

the year 1888 about 90 400 600 which had been re-

Oregon Railway and Navigation Company and the
Central Branch 10 earn their fixed charges the money
TO meet which the Union Pacific had advanced. This
Is not ALL however; for while about 81 100000 was
used TO meet tho Government requirements under the
Thupnan act the total interest upon the Government
debtlwas some 81 100000, so that upon the ground
taatit would be unwise to pay dividends unless the
full interest upon that debt provided for there
aites the charges noted above. This leaves only
100000 for dividend purposes nom 1883 earnings,
and the wisdom of declining TO resume the payment
OF dividends at this period therefore cannot he ques
