Dow, Jones & Co., say Of Northwest:
1.-THE fact that Northwest without the
surplus from land sales and the surplus
earnings of the Fremont and Elkhorn and
OTHER lines west of the Missouri River,
earned shade over 8 per cent on the COM
mon In the year ending May 81, was
surprise to even the MOST sanguine bulls
on that property. This was within
per cent oe the great earnings in the 1885
SO year, when the enormous spring
wheat crop was moved. The operating
ratio OF 64.37 per cent is not undnly small,
and the reduction in operating expenses
Of 81 800, 900, was largely due to the en-
ployment of fewer hands, and the perma-
nent economies, which all the roads have
learned by the experience of the last six
years The other income was swelled oy
