CREED RAYMOND NOT RETIRED.
The report telegraphed to New York
some days since from this city, says the
San Francisco Call, to the effect that
Greed Raymond, of the Southern Pacific
law department, had been retired at the
request OF @. P. Huntington, cannot be
confirmed at Fourth and Townsend
streets. While high officials of the COM
pany are not willing to pronounce the
statement absolutely false, yet they seem
inclined to seriously doubt its authen-
ticity. One thing is certain, the change
has not been officially announced, and
Vice-President Stubbs said yesterday
that if Mr.. Raymond had left the service
of the company it was matter of news
to him. "If be does not resume his
duties at the head of our law department
upon his return from Europe" contin-
ued Mr.. Stubbs, sit will be, in my opin-
ion, retirement at his own request,
and not due in any degree to outside
influence"
SOUTHERN PACIFIC MARCH EARNINGS
The Southern Pacific company's state
ment of earnings and operating expenses
for March compares favorably with the
statement for the same month last year.
On the Pacific system the gross earnings
were $2,72l ,093, and on the Atlantic
1888, ,346, total of $500, ,439, while for
March, 1890, the total earnings of the
two systems was $3,561 ,781. The oper-
ating expenses for March of this year
were less on the Pacific system than for
the same month in 1890, the figures be-
ing $1,717 1916, as compared with 81 ,932,-
APO. On the Atlantic system, doubtless
due to the washouts, the reverse was
the case. For March, 1891, they
amounted to $774,S12, and for March,
1890, to $759, 142. The total operating
expenses for the month this year were
~, ,492, ,1S9 and last year $2.6s1 ,562.
For the first quarter of the current
year the gross earnings were $40, ,874 ,999,
and for the same quarter last year $9,-
693, ,543, gain of 81, ,181, ,456. The oper-
ating expenses for the first quarter this
year amounted to $7,375, ,167 and for
that period last year to $7,743. 107, re-
duction amounting to 1867 $40. This
last sum added to the gain in gross earn
ings shows that the company is over
$1,500,000 ahead on the first quarter of
1891 as compared with the first quarter
of 1890.
Gustav Lansing, secretary and con-
troller of the Southern Pacific, has gone
east, and will not be back until June
1st.
In fuller explanation of the causes for
the employment of trainmen, A. n.
Towne has stated that it is not
only to prevent misappropriation OF
cash receipts, but because on the heavy
trains now run it is found impossible
for one man to attend to the duties of
conductor and ticket collector too. The
train agents are to have entire charge of
the collection both of tickets and fares.
He denied that freight conductors were
to be placed under bonds. They do not
collect for freight at way stations or
elsewhere, and only handle the trifing
sums paid by the few passengers
who are permitted TO ride on freight
trains.
The passenger travel of the Southern
Pacific company for April is represented
by 1920 eastbound from San Francisco
and 7342 from the east to here.
]. B. Kirkland, 'of the Southern Pa
ciic, is authority for the statement that
President Harrison is paying all the ex-
penses of transportation, and that at
the average rate of $2 mile the trip
will require a dig into the presidents
pocket of 1S,464. The sum named is
simply for the moving of the train, and
SO is only part of the total cost.
w. T. Allen, traffic agent of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road, is in
Southern California.
General Manager Wade, of the South
ern California railway company, said
Yesterday that $500 carloads of oranges
had been shipped from Southern Calf
fornia, and that there were between 800
and 700 left.
