most to the doors of these Cities The
country TO the northwest has been almost
sealed book to the jobbing and whole
sale interests of the big cities along the
Missouri as we'll as Illinois and the more
remote east. The road traverses the en-
tire length of the Crow Reservation, and
permission of the United States Govern
ment had to be obtained. as we'll as the
consent OF the Crow chief, before the
work of building began. and a more
interested lot of people could not be
found than the Crows were during the
progress of the grading and laying of the
track, and when the first train rushed
through the country the red men woke
up to realize that the time is not for dis
tant when the white man will be asking
Congress to throw open the Crow
Reservation TO white settlement. The
line passes through the valleys of the Lit
tie and Big Goose Creeks, the Tongue
River, the Little Big Horn, where Custer

Altgeld was present at Tuesdays
meeting OF the state board OF
equalization. The governor disclaimed
any intention OF interfering with the
work Of the board. but said he felt Il
his duty TO lay before them some facts
which he had recently collected.
Pullman's Palace Car company, ac-
cording 10 the records in the secretary
OF states Office, has a capital stock OF
$3.50. 900, O0O Mr.. Pullman had testi-
fed before a commission. among other
things, that this capital stock
was paid in cash and had
been enlarged from time 10 time
during the twenty-seven years OF
its existence.
Mr.. Pullman had further declared
under oath that the company had no
bonded debt and had accumulated s25.-
600, 600 in undivided profits, the gov.
ernor continued. Adding this SIS, 900,
600 20 the capital stock makes Sol 900.
900 which the stock OF the Pullman
company represents. The market re-
ports show this stock TO be worth more
than sol 900, 900.
The governor continued % give facts
and figures from the eompany's own

pany's surplus had been upward of

IL appears that I'm sixteen states the

the total amount of tax paid By the
Pullman company Is only S21 425. In
the remaining seven states the taxes
paid are not given, but the total AS

possession millions OF dollars that
