DIRECTORS REPORT.
The Union Pacific Now Owes tho Govern

The Union Pacific Now Owes tho Govern
ment SBO,902,7 765.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The annual
report of the government directors of
the Union Pacific railway has been sub
mitted to the secretary of the interior,
and 1T shows that since the last report
the condition of business throughout
the entire Union Pacific system has i'm
proved. While the increase of gross
earnings during the year 1889 over 1888
was only 1874, $50, the increase during
the six months ending juno 80 of the
present year over the same period of
1889, was $3,295, 027. The Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation company and the
roads formerly in the Denver, Texas
and Fort Worth system included in
the system of 1890, were not, how
ever, included in 1889. The surplus
earnings OF all the lines operated and
leased during the first six months of
this year were S6,051, 434, an increase of
S222, CAS- over the same time last year
The number of miles operated was 8, G34
against 7,s49 the same time last year,
and the expense of operating was Si4.-
664, 500 against l1,591,52l in 1889, an
increase of $3,072,97s, taxes not in
cluded. The Oregon Short Line and
Utah Northern railway shows an in
crease in earnings, but its surplus earn
ings are reduced from 81, 2O4, $50 for the
six months ended June 80, 1889,
to $1,129,9s2 for the same period
this year. The Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation company shows a
falling off in gross earnings, they being
reduced from S1,967,10s to 81 1866, 364
for the same period this year, while the
expense OF operating was increased to
the amount of S427,534. The Denver
and Boulder Valley road also shows
decrease. The falling off in the gross
earnings of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company is in rart at
tributed by the directors to the partial
failure of crops in Washington and
Oregon last year.
The total debt OF the Union Pacific
to the government on January /, 1890,
principal and interest, was $50, 9o2, 765..
This, with accruing interest, falls due
