The total increase in gross earnings

are expected to swell it to at least ST.
100000, an Increase over previous records
unprecedented in the history Of the road.
For May the gross earnings were 81

06S; for the same month the operating

This includes the earnings of the st.
Paul & Duluth railroad from July /, 1900.
The earnings of the Seattle & Interna-
tioral railway. formerly a proprietary
line, are included in main line since April
l, 1901.
In view of the fact that last June the
earnings of the road closely approximate
ed $2,5OO,0O0 it is confidently expected
that the earnings for the twelve months
in the fiscal year will this year exceed
s30,000C0O. 1t Is believed that the June
earnings for this year will amount to at
least s2,75O,OOO, and this will bring the
total well over the s9O,OOO00O mark.
Considerable speculation is being in
dulged in as to whether the directors
will declare an extra dividend and as to
whether the common stock will be placed
on a per cent basis.

many courtesies; and Dir. Frank b.
Berry, the "head- d-man," Of the great
American Typo Founders Co, of the

blood in his veins, and who made us
feel, without apparent effort, Though
an effort must have been made), that
we were the best looking and the
smartest man, and had the beet look.
Ing and smartest children of any man
he had met. He placed our party
under lasting obligations.
But, time and space is limited, and
this letter must close somewhere.
We cannot fail to express our ap
probation of the splendid work of
Capt. Mccullough, who had charge of
the excursion. He knew exactly what
TO do, and he did it. l speak for all
when | say that more competent or
kindly gentleman has never punched
a ticket or bad charge of an excursion.
he was unhring in arranging every
detail and contributing in every way
possible to the comfort of the entire
party. Should he run another excur-
sion, (and it is understood that he
wilD, he can safely count on this party
and all whom thoy Can inf uence to 90
along.
C'pt. McCullough's popularity,
good taste and efficiency, however,
can be easily accounted for if one
knows his amiable and excellent wife,
who was present on the excursion,
and by her kindliness Of manner and
her eff)rt to be helpful, won the
hearts md praise of all with whom she
came IN contact. The party decided
unanimously, that Mrs. McCollaugh
is one of the incest and lovliest ladies
we ever met" and to her good sense,
kindly nature and helpfnlness, is due
the credit, to lNrga extent, for the
success of this most enjoyable excur-
sion.
1t is hoped that the o. II. g., will
run another excursion soon, and that
Capt. aud Mrs, Mccullough, 'fhe
La y Manager" will have charge.
Wen all be there-probably-but,
in n world of changes and vlcissitudes
like this, to duplicate this excursion,
with it's party and its pleasures will be
difficult indeed,

ELKh0RN A GEHENNA.

Dead Bodies Burned. Work of
Rebuilding Going Rapidly on.
Rev. DR.. Handy, Presiding Elder
of this District, returned on Mon
day from his fist trip down the
"Horn' since the great food. His
work extends as far as to Welc
and he says, that all along the
line the immense piles of wreckage
are being burned, aud not Infre>
quently dead bodies, which were
washed down and lodged in the
debris, are consumed in the fires,
and the Valley, he says, reminds.
one of Gehenna. The body of
several infants have been found
of which no inquiry was made, and
the suppositl0n is that the entire
family we're lost, and it will be
long time before the debris and
wreckage will be cleared away
From the appearance of the Presi-
ding Elder we judge that spring
chickens and other good things to
eat are still plentiful in the Valley
of the EIkhorn, notwithstanding
the recent food.
