The Burlington's January Statement.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The January state
ment Of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
shows decrease in the gross earnings of
1857, 579 as compared with the same time
last year. The net earnings, after allowing
for all expenses except dividends, shows a
deficit of 81, Psi against profit of s1S2, 252
in 1890, or a decrease of $3.50, 594. One con
siderable cause of the large falling off was
the failure of the corn crop last year.
Gross earnings from the transportation of
corn from points west of the Missouri
river in January, 1890, were $3.50, 900 as com
pared with the same this year. 1t appears
the falling off was chiefly, if not entirely, on
lines west of the Missouri river; in fact
statistics compiled by Chairman Midgely'
of the Western Freight association, show

tive showing than any other line between
those points. Its Chicago Omaha lines
also show a larger percentage of increase
than any other. The opinion seems unani-
nous among traffic officials of the western
roads that the unfavorable conditions will
change in April

Major Wilkes is perhaps the happiest man

He has at last secured what he considers
substantial backing for the Salt Lake,

The major must know something tspower-
full good" as he has quit talking. He now
goes about as close -mouthed as a Standard

You can say this and no more,' said the
major, swelling as if he contained volumes
that he would like to tell but he dare not.
What the major said was that the road
would be built before the Deep Creek road
and that there was no question about this.
There did not seem to be any question
about it, as the major knows where the
money was coming from. He would not
ask dollar from the city except that which
he pettioned for in the county court yes
terday. He intimated that the right OF
way this side the Jordan and terminal
arrangements had all been secured.
AS the Idaho road is worth dozen Deep

Charge on shipment Gold Bars.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The treasuary
department has already been called upon
under the Sherman amendment to the
legislative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to exercise his discretion in
the exchange of gold bars for gold coin and
also to impose charge for such exchange.
Heretofore the statute regulating the mat

the department will be to charge cents

Some of the Exciting Scenes

The Roar Of the River and the Mountain

From the downpour of rain, which has
been falling almost necessarily for the past
week, the ella has been rising very rapidly,
stables, fences, etc.
This morning fears were entertained that
many of the houses and farms were inun-

came that people could be seen on islands
and in trees reckoning for help.
Since then the energetic part of the COM

anxiously waiting and watching for help
since IL m. last night.
The first load, composed of Mexican chill

the citizens of this place.
One Mexican woman had pair of twins
but twelve days old. Many others were

is over, as the river has fallen about two
feet in the past three hours. This after
noon band of horses can be seen in water
up to their breasts half mile or more
from shore. They have had nothing to eat
but cottonwood bark and tops of willows
for forty four hours. Several houses and
stables near here have been washed away.
Though President G. Layton runs some of
the best horses and most convenient stages
on the line, he has been forced to lose some
time on accountt LOT the water running in
torrents from the Graham mountains.

several miles.

The Race Question in Oklahoma,

ST. LOUIS, March 5.-A special from
Oklahoma says: The race question is
assuming serious phase in Oklahoma ter
ritory and the continued agitation which
the subject is raising is more than likely
to result in a collision between whites and
blacks. During the last six months negooes
from the south have been fiocking into the
territory by hundreds in response to gilt
tering inducements held out by I'M
scrupulous real estate dealers, who
have laid out a mythical town near
Guthrie. The negroes arriving are desti-
tute and suffering from severe cold, but the
worst feature of the case is the fact that
the new arrivals have brought small pox
with them. The disease is spreading and
the newspapers have openly declared in
favor OF instituting quarantine against the
blacks.

other knowledge than that they had gained
from The HERALD. AS the day
