WHEAT DID IT.

Extraordinary increase Ii tho Earnings
of tho Northern Pacific,
The extraordinary increase in the bust
ness OF the Northern Pacific for tae month
of September shows that wheat has now be-
gun to mo7o with rapidity, says the Wall
Street News, of which fact the very large
receipts of grain at Minneapolis and Du-
luth are additional proof. Tho month of
September is the best that the Northern Pa
ciic company has ever known. The gross
earnings show an increase of $2l0,6 G6 over
the earnings of the same month last year,
though they were then two millions and a
half in the aggregate. The increase in the
operating expenses hag been proportion
ately small, so that the gain in the net is
nearly 10 per cent. Tho surplus for the
single month is $455,4CO over all charges,
showing that in the month of September
alone the company earned considerably
more than a quarters interest on the pre-
ferred stock. What ia of equal interest ia
the fact that the land sales of the COMPANY
have show a marked increase, and the
profits of the department are likely to ap-
preciata rapidly during the winter. The
land sales for September amounted TO $780,
597, and for this first quarter of the fiscal
year to S4O4, 1873. The amount of preferred
stock cancelled during the month was $44,-
,O49, and it must be noted that the reduction
in the amount of the preferred stock, which
will continue until it advances to the price
of ITO, will increase tho tangible value OF
the other securities of the oompany from
the common stock up to the consolidated
bonds.

RATES.
A Movement to Advance Prices ON All
Western Roads.

A Movement to Advance Prices ON All
Western Roads.
An attempt is being made by the Union
Pacific to secure the cooperation of all
transcontineutal roads and the lines be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river in
advancing the price of meals on dining cars
from rs cents to 81. Tho Union Pacific
claims to be losing over $1,000 per month
on it's d%inlng-car department., while the ad-
vance, with the same number Of meals
served, would net $4,000 profit. The argu-
ment is advanced that east of Chicago 81 ia
charged on ~dining-cars, aud that much
poorer service ID given than on western
roads. 1t is, however, u fact that eompeti-
ton and eagernesg for q widespread reputa-
ton has led western roads into lavish ex-
penditures in their dining-car departments,
untll the average oar between Chicago and
st. Paul or this Missouri river will usually
exceed the best American plain hotels. The
Northern Pacific has agreed to act with tie
Union Pacific il the other roads will also
join in advancing prices. A similar attempt
was made a few months ago, but was frus-
trated by the Chicago d Alton, which NJ
phatically refused to charge more than Is
ceuts for a meal.

BURLINGTON EXTENSION.
A Large Force Has Been Put on to
Push the Road to
Billings.
The Extension Of the Line to Reach
Helena Before the End
of 1893.
Scptem Der the Best Month tho Northern
Pacific Has Ever known
Dining Car Rates.

Information has been received in Castle
from persons residing III Billings that thu
Burlington d Missouri has put OF a force
OF men that are engaged in construction
work. This compan has two surveying
parties locating the line between the Pow.
der river and the Grow reservation. 1t il
openly stated that it is the intention OF
that company to effect a connection with
tho Northern Pacific railroad at Billings
next season. In that event the compan
will only have ol5 miles Of road to build.
At present the end of the track is at Gill
lette, which place is 95 miles east Of Sheri-
dan. From there to Billings the distance is
1870 miles. To reach Helena an additional
seventy-five miles of road will require to
be constructed. 1t is said that the chief
aim Of the Burlington & Missouri in pene-
trating Montana ia to make connection
with the Great Northern, which company
the chief stockholders of the Burlington q
Missouri system control. AT Helena a
union of these two lines could be effected.
by the construction of this road Castle will
be situated within five or six miles of the
main line of a great trunk road that is by
several hundred miles nearer to Denver and
Chicago than any other line operating in
Montana.
1t ia publicly stated by prominent rail
road men that it is thh intention of the
Burlington Il and Missouri to reach Helena
next year. To accomplish that purpose
about 440 rniles of road will require to be
constructed. With the present facilities
for railroad building that could easily be
done by such a company ms the Burling-
ton from now until the same time next
year.
No place in this state would reap greater
benefits from . railroad than Castle. The
only thing that now rstards its growth and
the developments of the whole district is the
great expense that attends the shipment of
ore. 1t takes very rich carbonates to bear
the cost of Transportation about seventy
by wagon. then a long distance by
rail to Aurora, I'll. Yet from the mines
here hund eds of tons of ore have been sent
to the smelter at that place. By the con-
of this line the people of this sec
ton of the state would possess 4 short route
to several OF the chief smelling centers in
the United States, such as Denver, Omaha
and Kansas City. Very latge per cent. of
the ore bodies of this district are carbo-
mates. They are readily reduced. On &C.
count of which they are constantly sought
by the smelters to blend with the re-
ores, that are found in great
in other districts.
