Missoula, Dec. 19-The report of the
Northern Pacific for November shows
that the volume OF business for the
month OF November was fully as great
as that OF October, and the two months
show the largest net earnings in any
similar period In the history of the
ROAD. The report has not been made
public yet, so that the figures are not
now obtainable. but IL Is said that the
showing for last month is an excellent
one. The business during the month
was known to be so heavy as to- call
into service all the available motive
power and no time was allowed for re-
pairs. This accounts for the poor con-
dition OF the motive power at present,
and, In a large measure. the frequent
breakdowns which occurred recently.
