Northern Business Increased.
ST. Paul. Oct. IT, Special to the Posr-
lNTgLLGESCER H. Pioneer Press New York
special; In his annual report to the stock
holders OF the Northern Pacific, President
Oakes says: Notwithstanding period OF
business depression throughout the coun-
try. am again privileged TO refer to large
increase in gross earnings as the most not
able result of the years operation, and it is
superfuous to add that to the Northern
Pacific railroad company it has been the
most prosperous business year yet expert
enced. This Is remarkable. not only in
view OF the large falling of IN the earnings
OF many prominent railroad companies,
especially in the West, during the
same period, but of the fact
that in the country east of the
Missouri river, from which in former years
so material a portion OF revenue has been
derived, the Northern Pacific, in common
with other railroad companies, suffered
from inferior crops and consequent mac
tivity of local commerce. More favorable
conditions at other points. however. served
to offset these disadvantages. and helped to
swell our gross earnings 10 nearly SO, 600
go, an increase even over the tiaitering i'm
provement of the previous year of nearly
Sic0oeu0.
In no month have the earnings fallen
below 100000 and it is the first
year IN the history OF the company OF which
this may be said. An increase in gross
earnings of about s. 600 90. or over - per
cent in two years, with an additional mile
age OF only II PER cent, and in period of
comparative dullness, is All indication of
the actU al value and helpful development
OF all the country adjacent to the Northern
Pacific lines.
To the rapid and constant growth OF
Washington and the bountiful crops en-
loved in that district we are indebted for
the largest measure of the years successful
showing, ana next in development Montana
ana Idaho are ranked, by reason OF the
large growth Of their mining industries.
We have been comparatively free from
serious conflicts with transconunental COM
panies. and while a general tendency to-
ward reduction in rates has affected rs
some, We have been practically free from
rate wars. The aggressive attitude OF the
Union Pacific company, through It's snbor-
dinate organizations, n Washington and
Idaho, has perhaps been the most
troublesome element Ia cur territory,
the Pacific slope. While il has not as yet
cut al important figure in our triiilc
movement Of earnings, il stands - men
