RAUROAD INTERESTS.
A REMARKABLE GROWTH IN BUSINESS
HOW THE PASSENGER TRAFFIC OF THE GREAT
NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD HAS
INCREASED


The most striking feature in the surprising general
growth of the Northern Pacific Railroad enterprise
during the last three years Is the extraordinary in
Of its earnings from the trans poratOn Of pas
scngers. In 1856 this road carried average Of
forty passengers to each tcain in 15s0 the average
was sixty. This was accompanied also by consider
able increase in the accommodations given TO the
travelling public in the number Of trains rum the re-
suit being that the gross earnings Of each passenger
train increased twenty cents per mile. Twenty cents
Is not large Of money but applied TO the miles
run by passenger trains on this great railroad II in
creased the gross passenger receipts from 100000
to SG,OOO,OOO percentage of increase Of 100 or
stated in money of fully $3000OOo over lss6--a re-
markable growth indeed.
As shown by these figures the larger part OF this
increase from the increased number Of persons
who travelled each train, and is in spite OF tho
falling of in rates Of fare which amounted 10 half
cent mile. This increase in passenger receipts
did not consequently add prOpOrtOnately 10 the OPP
Grating expenses. Hence, IL is perhaps not so much
Of surprise to find that the net earnings OF the
Northern Pacific increased full ~ 900 900 during these
four years, record Of rapid growth without parallel
With the great future which lies before the yet un-
developed country through which the Northern Pacific
runs, there IS no doubt that yet larger increase in
traffic will be recorded by this company in the to
come
