less it finds its chief traffic and
earnings. The inclusion of these lines
prevents any fruitful comparison
with our Pacific railroads. Fully $500
miles of its lines are east of the eastern
terminus of the Union Pacific. 4 great
part of its eastern lines. however. are in a
very thinly populated country, and very
few parts of its line, doubtless, have what
would be considered large traffic on lines
so far east on this side of the border.
In the whole system the gross earnings
last year were $3.50 gross and 1880 net
per mile. The latter is per cent on less than
$2s, 900 per mile; but the Canadian Pacific
company had the good fortune to have
large part of its cost paid by the Dominion,
and it has unusually light fixed charges
amounting last year to only $500 per mile
of road. Its great land grant yields but
small direct returns, but a great increase
in sales is reported for the first four
months of this year. The traffic and
earnings have grown with considerable
rapidity. Per mile of road the passenger
traffic has grown nearly 80 per cent
since 1888, and freight traffic 50 per cent.
The expenses OF maintenance of way last
year was S437 per mile of road; the cost of
hiOtiNc power, $f,5oo per IocoluotiFe, Oi
maintenance Of cars, SAC per car-all very
small amounts, as may be seen by COM
parison with the expenditures of the
Union Pacific in the same year. which We
showed CMay 49, to have been $40 per
mile for maintenance of way, S9,110 per
locomotive for motive power, and sl07 per
car for maintenance of cars. 1t is also
noticeable that the average gross earnings
per mile (S3 1856 of the branches and leased
lines of the Union Pacific are II per cent.
greater than those of the Canadian Pacific,
trunk lines and all; but the net earnings
of the latter were $3.50, against 1914 on
the aforesaid lines of the Union Pacific, or
43 per cent. greater. If the fixed charges
OF the Union Pacific were as light per
mile as those of the Canadian Pacific it
would have paid nearly per cent.

statements credited to them they have
placed themselves on record either as
being ignoramuses or as having a de-
sire to stir up discord. Without gong into
any investigation Of the matter it is
ridiculous on the face of it. Seattle's poor
showing against Portland was caused by
the miserable condition the team was in
when playing against the winners, but
without any explanation for it
there seems no possible reason why
Seattle should want Portland to
win. Portland took the pennant
last season and could well afford to have
it 60 elsewhere this year. By its poor
work the Seattle team has cut down the
attendance at its home games to an alarm
ing degree. The gentlemen who have
made the statement that Tacoma has
the best team in the League have
forgotten thar it failed to beat the tail
end Seattles in the series between the two.
The PortIands have won the champion
ship because they have played the best
ball. That John S. Barnes, against whom
the Spokane directors have a grudge, is at
the head of the champions, should not les
sen the credit due them.

SECRETARY ROCHE IN ERROR.
His Instruct ons to the Umpires Re-
versed by Nick Young's Rulings.

The position of the PosT-INTELLIGENCER
recently in maintaining the incorrectness
of certain instructions upon rules given
by Secretary Roche to the umpires of the
Pacific Northwest League has been sus-
tanned in every respect by President Nick
Young of the National League. Roche
instructed his umpires not to allow
double play in cases where an infielder
purposely lets a fly drop to the ground
without touching 1t and then traps it in
time to cut off two men. He also ordered
that any ball striking a batsman's bat
without being struck at, and rolling fair,
should be considered as fair hit and the
ball in play. On both these points his in
structions have been reversed by Mr..
Young's rulings. The latter's opinion is
given in recent issue OF the Sporting Life,
which says:
While attending the League meeting in New
York last week, Mr.. Murnane had a chat with
President Young about the rules, and he asked
the latter in regard to infield flies on which
pck-ups were made with men on bases. Mr..
Murnane saw MI Gaffney make the decision in
the Cleveland game, not allowing the double
play, and was present after the game when the
umpire said he was so instructed by President
Young.
President Young said he never gave any such
instructions, that the rule is unchanged; pick
ups can be made, the batsmsn being not out
aud double play can be made when the CON-
bination comes right. AS Nj Young IL supreme
umpire his ruling goes.
Among other rules the president spoke OF was
one that has been decided wrongly several times
this season on the South End grounds, ana
that is:
"a ball that accidentally strikes the bat and
goes foul is not in play. but is "a dead BALL
The ball is also dead if il hits the player in the
forearm, even If he strikes al it.
