There is pending in congress an
amendment to the sundry civil appro-
priation bill to absolutely suspend the
presidents orders establishing national
forest reserves in THE Western states
and territories; the pretext being that
the reserves are prejudicial to mining, "
said Gen. @. c. Andrews yesterday.
This pretext, however, will be found
utterly groundless, if one will examine
the provisions Of law for regulating the
reserves" continued the general. 'in
the sundry civil appropriation act OF
June 4, 1897. Those provisions, by the
way, are the most important ever en-
acted by congress for the care of the
national forests, and will be found on
First session Fdfty-fifth congress. The
following passages show that congress
in creating these forest reservations
has studiously protected the mining in
terests:
1t is not the purpose or intent of these
provisions, or OF the act providing for
such reservations, to authorize the inclu-
sion therein Of lands more valuable for
the mineral therein. or for agricultural pur-
poses, than for forest purposes.

limits of any forest reservation which

those who are fighting the reservations
Is that the government should keep its
hands off Of its own property, and that
the forests should be left open to con-

senators and representatives In con-

@. Has the Great Northern made reports
other things its gross earnings, operating
expenses, net earnings, equipment and Its
apportionment?
A. Commencing with 1890, the Great North
ern has made such reports to various official
boards and commissions; among others to the
interstate commerce commission, to the Min
nesota and North Dakota railway commits
sions. etc.
@. Is not. the road operated as unit; is
there any basis upon which 1t can divide
earnings by geographical lines?
A. Like every, other railroad system. the
unit. State lines cannot be noticed. and are
not noticed for any purpose whatever in
carrying on the operations Of the road.
any particular state. It would be absolutely
impossible to successfully carry on the oper.-
alton Of the road If any attention was paid
to state lines.
@. What would be the effect upon the
system should the existing distance tariff
rates In North Dakota be reduced to conform
listing distance tariffs be maintained in Min
nesota or elsewhere upon the system?
A. The necessary effect Of any reductions
Of distance tariff rates in North Dakota would
be to extend the same reduction into Mime
sofa. This would be true both on legal and
on business grounds. On legal grounds be-
cause conditions in Minnesota are such as to
entitle the patrons OF the roads living IN
living in North Dakota. On business grounds
because the commercial business of Minnesota
and North Dakota Is practically a unit, and
the business could not be done on two sepa-
rate sets Of rates.

The total mileage of the various lines other

apolis & Manitoba Railway company, which
are commonly recognized as part of the
Great Northern system Of railway, amounts
to 769. AZ miles of main track and 1883 miles
of side track.
The total miles of track operated in this
so-called system is 5,267.5S miles.
Every part Of this system affords facilities
for the handling Of traffic originating on
or destined for every other part of 1t, as
completely and conveniently as If all the
tracks were owned and operated by the Great
Northern Railway company.
The Northern Steamship company owns a
fleet of steam vessels running on the Great
Lakes, and containing six vessels, running ex-
clusively for freight traffic, and two running
exclusively for passenger traffic.
