Paying for Glow Bridge"


Several years & the Northern Pacific

for one solid year, the boat demanded pas
sage and whistlsd to be let through the
bridge. At the end Of the year
the owner of the boat
brought suit for $2OO, 600 damages, sustained
by inability to get through the railroad
c%ompsny's bridge, which, the complainant
alleged, was an obstruction to navigation
and a detriment to commerce.. The COM
pany didn't know Just what to do about it,
till at last Major Cotton, who il paid by the
company u good many thousand dollars a
year to put up jobs on the boys and keep
other folks from putting up jobs on the
company, hunted up the records of the in
s%peotors Of hulls and boilers in Portland,
and found that NO inspection had ever been
made of Captain Williams boat. This
knocked the $2oo,ooo damage suit
into n cooked hat, and the case was
thrown out OF court. But, nothing
daunted, Williams brought the two inspec-
tors up from Huntington, 404 miles from
Portland, and from there to Ontario, and
from there to his boat, and had her in
speeted, and the necessary papers issued,
and straightway brought another suit tor
$4,000. Thu time given to the company to
file an answer has elapsed and no answer
has been filed, and it lookg az if Capt.
Williams was going to be $50, 600 ahead Of
DAY Gould's corporation. Inasmuch as il
would cost f25O, COO to put a draw in the
aforesaid bridges, it is in the limits of
possibility that. now the Asterisn has given
the snap away, somebody else may get
tired of keeping his eye ON Pasco, and
build q boat all same ms Williams, and
strike the company for $4,000.

To Put Up n Mill.

Chas. W. Burdsall is going to put up and
operate a fifty ton mill in the Okanogan
country. This will be good news to the
Montana people who are interested there.
and who have been at q loss to know what
to do with the ore they have taken out OF
their properties. The expense of transpor-
tation has been so greattha it has not paid
to ship, and in consequence, in many cases,
work has been stopped on this account. The
process to be used is that known as the
Russell. THIS is what Mr.. Burdsall says
about his plans:
''Ths Ruby Reduction company, which is
tho title of u concern, already have q
ffty-ton mill per diem on the ground, j.. O.,
the machinery Of the Arlington company.
The utmost cost of reduction will be $15
per ton. We pay the miner 95 per cent. Of
the assay value of his ore, latest New York
quotations, and charge him $50 per ton for
reduction, leaving the milling company a
profit of SIS per ton.
'It would take about seventy ounce ore
at present prices to pay the expenses Of get
ting the miners product to market and re-
ducsd. Now, with the Russell process,
with which I am familiar and which I pro-
pose to work these ores, the miner will real
ize q profit of $35 per ton, and we will pay
him spot cash for his ore in any quantity
from a few pounds up to thousands of tons,
as soon as sampled and assayed."

The Union Pacific Debt.

III government directors of tho Union
Pacific. in their nnual report, have this to
say in reference to the policy to be pursued
by the government toward that road: No
one can come in q close knowledge Of the
Union Pacific railway system without be-
ing impressed with tho necessity for relief
from the exactions and limitations now i'm
posed by Law. 1t ID vitality essential that
this company should be freed from these to
enable it to maintain itself in competition
with other ~systsnas not SO hampered and re-
strained. The whole financial system of
the Union Pacific railway In its relations
with auxiliary or tributary roads ia one of
ths expsdisnts rendered necessary by the
limitations OF various statutes having in
view the security of the government lien.
But the complex and involved methods
arising from branch, guaranteed, collateral.
trust and Endorsed bonds has cost the COM
pany a vast amount of money, fairly stated
in millions, which might have been in a
large degree saved if it had been permitted
to issue its own direct obligation, secured
by direct mortgage upon its own property.
"We cannot perceive that the governments
ID In any way benefited by this limitations,
or that the security of its own lien would
be in the least impaired by their removal.
Their only effect seems to be to add to the
burden of the company in ordinary finan-
cial administration and to that extent to
impair it's ability to meet the demands
upun it.
Under oil the conditions surrounding
this property at present and the prospec-
tive condition 80 far as they may be fore
seen we don't believe that the position of
the government ~ creditor will in a degree
be improved by delays in such adjustments,
while on the other hapd tho ability Of the
company to discharge its obligations will be
materially enhanced and ultimate payment
made certainly secure by such legislation as
will permit Of q consolidation and unlfca-
ton Of the system and an extension of So
curity of government, either directly or in
directly, to the whole property.

GOOD YEAR FOR THE ROADS
The Era OF Prosperity for the Car
riers Has Come After Many
Years.
North, South, Hast and West
Groat Gains Arc Shown In
Gross Earnings.
The Union Pacific Is Hampsrcd Ono
Way to Make Money Out OF the
RAilroads-Tsa shipments.

All tho reports Of railroad earnings thai
have been made since tho close of the rail
road fiscal year, Tune 80. go to show that
the ara Of prosperity predicted for the roads
since it began to appeal that this years
crops would be phenomspally large has al
ready set in. They indicate that the bright
est expectations that have been entertained
in this matter arc likely to BIO more than
realized. Great and steadily inoreasing
gains are to be noted in the gross earnings
Of the roads from week to week, and still it
10 admitted that this years crops can
hardly be said to have begun to move yet.
All that has been taken has never bean
missed out of the accumulations that still
remain. Working as they have been doing
since any movement has been noticeable, it
would require much more than twelve
months to remove all the grain now in sight
along the tracks of the various roads.
Published returns Of sixty-three roads
for the frst week of September show gains
running all thu way from four to 60 per
cent in gross earnings. The Chicago, st.
Paul & Kansas City road. for example. has
increased its gross earnings for the week 30
per cent over those of the corresponding
week IN lSJus lAC IN NAanAV "oSsvi
increased its earnings SO per cent, and so
on. Taking the list right through the aver
age gain Of the whole for the first week In
September this year WA sevsn and one-half
per cont, and for the second week the aver
age gain was nine and one-third rer cent.
Only three roads in the entire list show a
loss. These are the Missouri Paoifo, the
Wisconsin Central and the Grand Trunk.
Whether il 10 that the change OF control of
the Union Pacific is beginning to tell on
the business Of the Missouri Psoido or not
is not stated.
Aside from the Notions Of the manipulat-
ors Of railroad traffic, However. the figures
quoted show that the roads are now doing a
large and lucrative business. II that BUSH
ness ia but wisely and economically man
aged it cannot fail to replenish the depleted
treasures Of tho roads, and to usher in a
season of unprecedented prosperity. II is
gratifying to note that the promise OF this
prosperity is not confined to any particular
district or locality. All roads-north, south.
east and wsst-ars lust now showing large
gains in their gross earnings.
