Road.

st. Paul Dispatch: The annual

Ing Of the sho wing made In the adj
vance sheets OF the annual report.
said today: .n,,...., .'.',., ..s.a<..
IAN interesting fea ture ia the in
crease in the train tonnage per mile.
This Ia so much greater, that 1t
makes enough difference In the net
earnings over opera ting expenses to
cut considerable figure In the way
OF dividends. $3.50 s,.e' X ..@ @I7" q
o"Thecompany has not yet declared
dividend OF 4 per cent for the past
year, bnt has enough Of a reserve to
pay a similar dividend for next gear.
Even II next year should be n bad
one, there Ia q certainty that per
cent dividend will he paid.
"There ia NO reason why the stock.
both preferred and common. SHOULD
not stand well In the market. The
preferred stock earns more on on the
Investment than the st. Paul. which
is quoted above par. It's earning
capacity is about per cent higher
than the other stock mentioned.
Last year, the Northern Pacific
tonnage per train per mile was 264 50.
The year before 1t was 1872 "a. The
increase is about 50 per cent. This
means that only two freight trains
are needed now, where three trains
were necessary last year. The In
crease compared with 1883 is very
marked. The train tonnage OE all
divisions IL double. and, in most
cases, three times as great as IT, was
five years ago. ...
"Several things have contributed
to bring about the increased ton
mage per train per mile. and a con-
eequent heavy reduction In operating
expenses. Improved track condi-
lions, better rolling stock and a
better understanding with, employees
are the chief elements which con-
tributed to. the increased tonnage.
and the consequent reduction In ex-
pense." - .,.,,.
