NORTHERN PACIFIC AFFAIRS.
Explanation of the Cause of It's In
creased Earnings.


The current number of the Northwest Mag
azine has the following concerning the
Northern Pacific railway:
The Northern Pacific officials were delight
ed with the Unexpectedly large increase of
earnings in November, which were over
5000, 000 in excess Of the figure for November
OF the previous year. The best feature was
that these earnings came from increase
in freight and passenger business all the
divisions and branches of the system and
were therefore indicative of a general return
of prosperity. In fact, the old normal con-
ditions of business which prevailed before
the panic of 1893 have been pretty generally
restored, and the outlook for the continuI nce
of these conditions is very hopeful. People
at all the towns and stations again buy
ing goods and implements freely, and IN all
the regions penetrated by the Northern Pa
cihc they have resumed their old habits of
travel for pleasure and business, which were
Interrupted by the hard times.
The Northern Pacific directors were so
gratif1ed with the November earnings that
they declared a dividend of per cent on the
preferred stock, which is intended to be the
first of series of regular quarterly divi-
bends contemplated by the plan of reorgani-
zation. This is the first dividend earned by
the road since it began operations. More
than dozen years ago a dividend on the
preferred stock declared and paid in
scrip. 1t was based on earnings for hauling
the construction material used in finishing
the road, and as there was money in the
treasury to pay 1t, 1t was paid by creating
a new evidence Of debt. The present divf-
dend has been earned by doing business for
the public, and the company has the cash in
hand to meet It, q
1t is now twenty-five years since the North
ern Pacific was opened from Duluth to the
Red River valley, and fourteen years since
the main line was completed to the Pacific
coast. At last the great enterprise has be-
come an earning property largely by rea1on
OF good management and improvements
which reduce the cost Of moving freight It's
future is bright. Within ten years we be-
lieve 1t will be come one OF the very best

prosperity will come from the prosperity Of
ali communities on its lines

ESTABLISHING AGENCIES.
Representatives of the YukOn-AIas-
ka Company Here.


G. Winehill and ]. R. Allen, of Seattle. were
In st. Paul yesterday for the purpose of MAX
ing the A. E. Johnson company the North
western agents for the Yukon-Alaska Trans
portation, Trading and Mining company
Mr.. Winehill is vice president and Mr. AL
len is one of the directors Of the company
In a talk with the G lobe yesterday re-
garding the Klondike rush, both gentlemen
the most profitable business in the new coun-
try, although there is more gold in Alaska
than anywhere else in the world.
Our company" said Mr.. Allen. ''has four
large passenger steamers on the Yukon and
one prospecting boat which will work for
the company but there is such demand for
passage that we are now planning for two
larger boats to be built for us at once
''There are SO, 600 strangers in Seattle await
ing the time when the Yukon river will again
open and then the rush will be unprecedented
On our line we allow man transportation,
meals and 1000 pounds of baggage
AS to the reason for their establishing
agencies around the country when there is
so much business at their home, Mr.. Wine
hill remarked: THAT is preparing for the
future. The present business is rush bust
ness, and after that is off our hands we
will make an effort to get steady travel. By
water is the only way
Mr.. Allen thought it a question of great
doubt whether or not railroad could be con-
structed, for, as he said: Alaska is so cold
in winter, and some unlocked for obstacle is
ever in the way as soon as work is begun.
Both gentlemen thought that there would be
enough food for the men now in the Klon-
dixie. About the government relief expedition
they were not well enough posted to care to
express themselves why" said Mr.. Wine
hill, 1.-The meal we ate across the way this
noon, at the cost of 25 cents, would have cost
us almost 81 in Dawson, and then we wouldn't
have had the oysters, either"
"There never was time in mining his orv,'
Mr.. Winehill remarked. when so much gold
was gathered together in so short a time by
so few men. 1 tell YOU" he added. cit is a
fine sight to see the bags of gold piled UP in
the express offices of Seattle. and there is a
great deal mere to follow. You can find gold
almost anywhere in Alaska

by most of the interested lines, and it is
expected that the trouble will not stop
where 1t now is. Rates are being cut

there was no agreement for their main
tenance. and it is said that grain is be-
ing carried to the seaboard for IA and

IN FIRE-pRooF BUILDING.
New Fire Alarm System to BE Well
Cared For.

It is very likely that the new fire alarm
system, instead of being placed in the third
floor of the fire headquarters, will be set up
in the basement of the city hal. Chief Jack
President Arosin and Fire Commissioner
Vanish visited the city hall yesterday after
noon, and with Mayer Doran inspected the
building for the purpose of picking out su t.
able rooms. The committee finally decided
that the two rooms in the northwest corner
of the basement, now occupied by the coun-
ty superintendent of schools and the park
beard, and one adjoining, used by the city
engineer as testing room, would be about
the best place for the purpose. The matter
viii be brought to the attention of the urt
house and city hall commission at it's next
meeting. Mayor Doran agrees with the fire
department officials that the fire alarm sys-
tenn should be installed in fire proof build
ing, and not in a fire trap, as the present
HEADQUARTERS are called.
