ROADS PROMISES WELL.

James J. Hill. president of the Great Northern
Railway Company. returned TO this city yesterday
after an extended trip in the Northwest. He said
that crops along the lines of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific roads looked well and prom
ised good business for the railroads. AS TO the
Burlington line. along which there has been par
tia failure Of the crop. Mr. Hill said he hoped
the road would give a good account of itself In
spite of the damage TO the corn crop.
PERHAPS" he said many farmers will think
they cannot afford to feed So cent corn to stock,
will decide to sell the corn. AS is known most
of the corn crop goes into stock and is trans
ported as such the market. Now. III rnucn more
of the corn s sold and is transported the ra1roads
will derive a propOrtonately greater beneht from
carving the corn although their profits from car
rying live will be smaller. The difference IN
net returnst the railroads will not be so large
