SPOKANE. Aug. 1.-THE special New
York Wall street correspondent Of the
Spokesman Review says.
President MeIien, OF the Northern Pa
chic. who will attend the company's an
nuai meeting in New York Friday, says
the Clearwater trouble Is practically set
tied
He says: I'VE have done more than
agreed on a truce for months: we have
even begun TO reach a basis of settle
ment. We are working on plans for
settlement right along. and there will
be no fight in the Clearwater country.
l always insisted there would be none.
We would have had far less trouble had
the newspapers not made SO much OF
the trouble which was Dad enough az il
was. There are many details TO be work
ed out. and II may be some time before
final settlement is accomplished
The basis Of settlement must have been
agreed upon In New York since Mr.. Har-
riman returned.
Mr.. Meller. was asked regarding the line
he threatened TO build from Lewiston to
Portland and said should We have had
to build that line we would have had easy
grades most OF the way. contrary to .
general impression We would have built
along the south side Of the Columbia river
to Ainswor;h. there crossed on our million
along the north side. But that line will
never be built. because there will be no
necessity for ii. At least that Is the way

Union Pacific has facilitated a settlement
a good deal, because the Union Pacific,
being a very large corporation with many
diversified interests. has more at stake
In bringing about a settlement.
Last year was the best the Northern
Pacific ever had by a good deal. We
know what our income account for the
year is. though the annual report will not
be ready for distribution for perhaps a
month. The road never before had such
a large volume OF business. and was never
operated more economically Year before
last the ratio OF operating expenses was
1853 per cent, while last year IL was Il
per cent. which Is within III 900 OF per
cent. Of the record. Year before last the
company earned overs4 pc, cent. on the
common stock. but charged heavily to i'm
provements account, only per cent hav-
ing been paid. This year il charged twice
as much to improvements and has already
paid percent. on the common stock with
a prospect OF something better before
