Henry c. Payne of the Northern Paci-
nc road returning this morning from
western tour upon which ne started a
month ago. during which he inspected
the entire Northern Pacific system and
added pleasure trip to Alaska in COM
pany with Judge Jenkins. They re-
turned from Puget Sound via the Cana
dian Pacific road. Mr. Payne refused
to talk of the possibility of his removal
from Office Of whether he would lose his
salary OF 900 a year. He said the re-
port in a financial paper that the road
and equipment Of the Northern Pacific
system was not entirely true. Mr..
Payne said that the rails and road bed
We're in fair condition and the rolling
stock ample and in good condition "Of
course" he said, "a railroad system as
old and big as the Northern Pacific is
likely to show need of repairs but / do
not think the Northern Pacific is at pres
ent il need of repairs. The receivers
have just ordered 10000 tons of new
rails but Of course that amount is not
large"
To the published statement that the
Northern Pacific is accommodating a de-
felt Of 81, 000 900 under the receivers,
Mr.. Payne said: II have just opened
my mail and found in it the financial
statement of the fiscal year ending June
80. 1895. The statement shows that the
net income was s5,021, 045.05."
Out OF this net income the receivers
have paid the interest on the first mort
gage bonds, on the receivers certifi-
Gates, on collateral trust net and on
branch line bonds. The total amount
thus paid out amounts to$4, ass, O70 SO.
We did not pay the interest on the sec
ond mortgage bonds. the third mort
gage bonds, or on the consolidated
bonds. If we had the road would not
be in the hands Of receivers.
