crease in total income Of $4,04S,560;
charges to operating expenses and IN
come for Improvements, $780, S, ana
charges to capital account $I,525,5fz.
The Burlington system, operated
under lease, earned a surplus over
amount required to meet interest on
"joint As" of $1,263,3S9.
Total earnings of the Northern Pa
cific were SAL, 1897 $50; net, $2O,90S,9o6
surplus, $1,547, 286 increase of $544,-
66T). The total surplus now is $5,O54,-
700. The sum of 100000, which was
reserved June 80, 1898, for DIVIDENDS
on the preferred stock, mas peen re-
stored to the surplus fund, the pre-
ferred stock having been retired. This
increases the actual surplus to more
than $S,000,000.
President c. S. Mellen, in a state
ment to the stockholders, says:
Capacity Is Only Limit.
1.-THE gross receipts of this company
will practically be limited only by It's
capacity for handling the business OFFER
have only a single-track line, and already
the gross revenue per mile of road oper-
ated equals that of several or the trunk
lines west of Chicago whose main lines
are double tracked.

the Judgment of your directors in the
wisdom of securing control Of that prop
erty in joint interest of your company

1.-THE Northern Pacific is handling today
relatively larger business at less ratio or
expense and with more limited facilities
than most of the other large Western
lines, and the demand for transportation
consequent upon the extraordinary de-
veIopment Of the territory served by
your lines has taxed those facilities to
the utmost, and it is a necessity pressing
upon your attention that considerable
sections Of the main tranScontinental line
be double-tracked in the near future"
