about 10000 shares of stock shipped from

same roads in the corresponding week
of last year. In the first week of this
month earnings of seventy roads we're
s., 941. 3Os, an increase of 81, O75 900, or
1886 per cent. These figures Indicate
that the business of the railways this
was phenomenal. That month the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul made the best record,
its earnings showing gain of almost
$3.50 600. The New York Central gain
ed $3.50. 900, the Northern Pacific $4lO,-
600, the Great Northern 1902, 600, the
Southern S277 900, the Louisville and
Mash vile $4,000, the Canadian Pa
cifc S214,O0O, the Norfolk & Western
S211 ZOO, and the Missouri Pacific 5000.
900. These are the only roads which
had gains of over 100000, but there
were eight with gains of over 800 600
each. The percentage of gain on some
of the smaller roads like the Chicago
& Eastern Illinois, was as large as that
of the big systems.
1t ts many years since the general
outlook was as bright as It is today. In
spite of the fact that the comparisons
are now made with the favorable times
of 1898, earnings are making extraordi-
nary showings, especially on the west
ern and granger" roads. The crop
prospects, while irregular, are excel
lent, and there is every ground for
expecting a tremendous grain move
ment this fall. The volume of business
in general continues to grow, labor Is
we'll employed, and in sall directions
the people are in easier circumstances
than has been the case for many years.
There will be more money spent in
pleasure travel this year than
for many summers back, and more
money spent in all those comforts and
luxuries of life which go to make up
good miscellaneous freight business
The work of construction of new lines
is being pushed all over the country,
with an activity which the United
States has not seen since 1890. Road
beds are in better condition than they
have been since before the panic of
1893, and equipment is being enlarged
and improved on scale that is rapidly
making up for the economies of the
years of hard times. In every way the
railway outlook is almost unpreceden-
teddy bright.-Exchange.

THE NEW EXPRESS COMPANY.
Not Expected to Interfere Much
With the Old Concerns.

The newly formed United Forward
ing company will begin operations
soon in twent y-fve large cities. It has
capital stock of $1,000, 900 and it's
avowed purpose is to reduce present
express rates. Among the directors
are F. r. Donahue, of Chicago: w. j,
Hogan, of Indianapolis: o. D Pills
bury, of Boston, and b. 81. Walker,
of New York. Mr.. Donahue says that
the system Of forwarding parcels,
packages and general merchandise to
be used by the new company differs
from that used by the express com
panies, and will be quicker as to de-
livery. Boats. electric cars. delivery
wagons and fast freight trains will be
employed by the new organization.
A prominent express ofdcia' when in
terviewed said: 1.-THE projected COM
psny has pretentfous am EDITIONS, but we
are not losing any sleep over the effect
1t is going to have on the general bust
ness. We own or lease trains from

DANGER In THE YARDS.
No Place For People Who Are Not
Employed by the Companies-A
Talk With an Official.

The accident which occurred in the
Santa Fe yards few days ago in which
q woman was injured recalls few
facts stated in the HERALD short
time ago.
Said one of the officials of that line
yesterday: 81 cannot see why people
have any more right to 60 into the
railroad yards than they have into
yards on which residences are con-
structed. It is private property and
should be considered so by the people
Every day we see people going through
the yards with packages and bundles
of all kinds and it is only wonder to
me that more of them are killed and
injured than there are. Women go
struggling through with probably
three, four or five children struggling
after them and the switch engine push
ing cars around there all the time.
AS soon as one OF them is crippled or
killed then the parents come after the
company for damages.
'"There are cases where the injured
people deserve damages but in cases
of this kind 1 do not think they de-
serve q cent. Let people who have no
business in the yards stay out and there
will not be so many accidents.
"As long as children use the rail-
road yards for Fairgrounds just that
long yousmay expect to hear of &C.
ciGents. 1t is impossible for the train
men to look after them and If the
mothers do not, God help the little
mes, because it will be only a matter
of time until they are killed or wound

To Abolish Free Passes.

A committee of three general man
ayers has now been appointed by the
executive officers of the western lines
to devise plan for doing away entire
ly with the issue of free passes. Each
fall, for the last three years. the west
ern roads have adopted an agreement
not to issue free transportation to in
fiuence traffic. No restriction was
placed, however, on the issue of free
transportation for other reasons.
Some of the railroad managers claim
the practice of issuing free passes in
Discriminatory infiicts almost as much
loss on the railroads rs paying exces-
sive commissions to scalpers and 9TH
ers. The loss of revenue from these
two causes, they say, is enor-
nous, and prevents most Of
the roads from making any
profit on their passenger business.
The committee is to submit q report to
general meeting of the executive
officers in September or October, and
the opinion is it will recommend the
abolition of the free pass system. 1t
will be no easy task, however, to bring
about so sweeping a reform, as some of
the weaker lines will fight against it
because it takes from them the means
to Influence traffic or secure other
favors through the granting of free
presses. Without the cooperation of
lines in all parts of the country it
would be difficult to abolish the free
pass system entirely.-EX.
