THE RAILROADS

george t. Harris, the newly elected
president of the Burlington system has
MAD a long career in railroading. He
was second Vice-president of the Bur-
Hhgton since 1890. He was born ar
Bfookllne, Mass, in 1S4S, and all his rail-
roaq service, excepting one year on the
santa re, mas been with companies now
comprised In the Burlington system. Be-
ginning In 1866 as an Office boy at head
quarters OF the Hannibal and ST. Joseph
rarlroad, by his own ability, energy, and
1althtulness he steadily advanced from
one position to another, until yesterday
he became the chief officer of one of the
greatest and best railway systems in the
world. AS traffic official Mr. Harris
has long stood in the front rank and to
his foresight and zeal is largely due the,
commanding position of the Burlington
system today, and it's extent and powers
undoubtedly win steadily increase UNI
der his management.
The retirement of Mr. Perkins frorno
the office of president causes little sur
prise to those who have known of his
feeble health for several years past He
| became president of the system in 1881.
but had been connected with various
companies in it since 1859. when he be-
came cashier of the Burlington and Mis-
souri, river railroad. his first railway SER
vice. From 1862 until 1865, he was as
sistant treasurer and secretary of the
company. and general manager from 1866
until 1873. From 1878 until January ]. .
! 1880, when the company was CONSOLIDATE
ed with the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, he was it's vice president He
was vice president and general manager
! of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
from 1876 until 1881, when he was elected
president.
Although the headquarters of the Bur-
lington system have always been located
in Chicago, Mr. Perkins spent little time
there. 1t is said he made ten visits to
Boston to one to Chicago and this Is
regarded as the best evidence possible of
his faith in the heads Of the various de-
partments at headquarters. The finan-
cial affairs of the company occupied most
of his time. and his numerous trips to-
Boston We're made because the men most
heavily interested financially in the Bur-
lingtOn system are in Boston. a
The change in presidents of the Bur-
lington probably will give rise to all
kinds Of rumors about the consolidation
or change in financial CONTROL but Presi-
dent Harris said yesterday that there
would be no change in the policy of the
company or it's management.
1t Is evident this afternoon that an e.
fort Is being made to convey the impress
sion that President Perkins Of the Bur-
lington resigned because he wanted to
be relieved Of the duties of that office.
Such is not the case. Mr.. Perkins resign
ed because he actively opposed ]. P. Nor

The Commercial Advertiser says:
A call has been issued for special
meeting of the shareholders of the Union
Pacific railroad in Salt Lake City on
March % for the purpose of considering
an Increase in the capital stock of the
company. A proposition will be submit
ted by the directors for the issue of $780,
100000 of new common stock in connec-
ton with the proposed issue of 100000
900 of per cent bonds.
A report comes from the west, but
lacks confederation here, that the Union
Pacific management Is having surveys
made for new branch line to Los An
geles, with a view of heading off the Rock
Islands alleged extension in that direc-
ton. Conservative railroad officials are
skeptical regarding all reports of further
extensions to the Pacific coast
commissioner Donald of the Central
Pacific association says the report is un-
tfue that he has called a special meeting
of the association to consider the decis-
ion rendered in an Indiana court that the
railroads must honor mileage books pre-
scented on trains. One of the require
ments of all the lines in the mileage bu-
reau of the Central Passenger associa-
ton is that purcha sers of interchange
able mileage books must present them al
ticket offices and secure from the agent
ticket for the trip to be made, the
agent detaching portion of the mileage
strip and issuing instead a special ticket.
Il have no official advice on the SUBJ
pect, but have no doubt that the case in
Indiana will be taken to a higher court
and that the decision will be reversed"
said Commissioner Donald. 1.-THE rule
requiring the exchange of mileage strips
at ticket offices for trip tickets is part
of the contract signed by every purchas-
er of mileage book. That rule was
made to protect the rights of railways
and prevent the improper use Of the
mileage tickets. 1t is a part of the con-
sideration for which the railroads grant
the reduction in rates to cents mile,
by paying a rebate of ST ON each mileage
book when used. If this rule cannot be
enforced it is probable that the railroads
will simply discontinue selling mileage
books None of the lines in the associa-
ton seems to be worrying about that
Indiana decision. I have not been re-
quested by any member to call special
meeting to consider it, and 1 have no in
tention of doing So

There were other little gatherings of q
quiet kind, the details of which have

Bozeman did it's full duty in honoring
the immortal George, and his memory
was well kept.
The people of this city are in favor of
the passage of the county high school
bill now before the legislature. The
high school Is an established fact In
Gallatfn county. The greatest draw
back encountered, however, lies in the
tact that there is no law by which
the trustees are authorized to raise the
necessary money with which TO erect
a suitable building. The school at pres
ent is quartered in the old skating rink,
which has become too small to properly
seat all the scholars that attend. "A
law giving power to sell bonds and
erect suitable buildings is an Imperative
necessity if the county high school is. to
be kept up to what it should be. We
hope 1t will pass, and that soon. i

ihere IS no good reason, however, to
cur way thinking, why they should

RAILROAD COMMISSION
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION BY
 CORPORATIONS COMMITTEE. ',
Probable That the Georgia Law, with Some Additions, Will Be Recommended-Will Meet
 Again Tuesday Night.

The Committee on Corporations of the Constitutional Convention held a meeting last night at the room of Gen. eral Harrison. the chairman, in the Exchange Hotel. The qusstion under consideration was tn. section relating to the Railroad Commission.
 The Georgia law had been offered as compromise to all the propositions on the subject. After 1t had been discuss ed from every viewpoint by the com mittee, Mir. Ferguson offered It. and there was strong disposition to accept it with some additions, such as max ing the law apply to telegraph and telephone lines. It is probable that with those lines in. the compromise proposed will be adopted by the committee and go to the Convention as it's report.
 It was requested that the final de- termination of the matter be left open until next Tuesday night. which was granted, and the committee will meet at that time to decide the question.
 It was further learned that an ordi- nance introduced by Mir. Murphree or Pike, relating to Building and Loan Associations, was adopted by the com mittee ,and will be reported favorabiy to the Convention. The ordinance makes a radical change in the present status of those institutions, preventing the assessment of dues and lines on members and compels them to stand to the legal rate of interest in all loans.
