THE OUTLOOK FOR 1908

Special to Tho journal.
4, New York, Dec. 51.-z1Thei Evening Post
has received from a number Of the best
known railway officials of the United
States their views on the outlook for 1908.
Regarding questions whether the railway
labor situation is serious and whether net
earnings will increase, opinion is exactly
divided. Only one railway officer thinks
that further advances in wages can be
made under; the existing conditions and
only. one considers that the economies
have approached or reached their limit.
On questions of traffic continuance and
rate maintenance the views of the officers
are optimistic. Roswell Miller says:
1.-The most encouraging results OF the
past year. are the volume Of traffic. the
earnings. the maintenance of rates and
the progress made in the Improvement of
T the lines, the moyements of high-class
traffic to the interior will probably con-
stinue as large next year as this. The
prospect Of rate continuance is good and
the labor situation I do not regard as
serious. In my opinion no further adj
varces in wages can be granted: Most OF
the rai always are assured Of new equip
ments and deliveries will be sufficient to
keep paceswith the expected increase in
tonnage. There Is reason Tor belieyins
that the railway net earnings will go or
increasing. The tendency to project new
sor parallel lines because OF the prosperity
of the country will not be as great as
heretofore, because the lnoneyed interests
as a rule are against it. #

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 51-The routine
work Of all departments of the North Da-
kota Educational association. except the
general association, was finished this
morning. The college and normal section
and the high school council will not elect
officers till late this afternoon after the
general association election. The elemen-
tary section elected r. S. Colvin of Port
land president and A. M. Carlisle of Gran
din secretary.
One Of the features of to-days meet
ing was the organization of a school direc.
tors association as a branch of the edu:
cational organization. H. N. Wells. OF
Grand Forks was elected. president
George I. Foster Of Fargo, vice president
and Mr.. Mcbride of Rugby, secretary.
The superintendent presented the re-
firing state superintendent, J. M. Divine
with a watch chain and charm. The clos.

are being held this afternoon at Crane

really depend on is Ramsey county. Judge
Cowan at one end of the district and
Major Murphy at the. other end have
waged war against him persistently and
their friends constitute more than a ma
jority Of the members elect Little will
get some v,tes from this district, but it
is probable that a majority will go to N.
w. Johnson. zat-
Out of the seven judicial districts in
the state IIansbrough has a majority. in
but two. He will, of course, have more
votes on the first ballot than any other
candidate. Those who are inclined to give
Bansbrough credit for the least strength
figure that he will not have to exceed
thirty votes. Others think he will have
from thirty-eight to forty votes, and the
latter estimate is probably nearly correct.
Little is supposed to have from twenty
six to thirty votes. and in strength comes
next to Hansbrough. johnson, Hanna and
White will follow in the order named:
There Will be considerable compliment
airy voting on the part Of the field cand-
dates, and the real test Of the strength
OF the respective candidates will not come
until the field caucus is held, which will
probably follow soon after the regular
caucus. Hansbrough, it Is believed. will
have to show his full strength on the first
ballot. He has been asserting he will be
nominated on the first ballot and the wise
ones say that it is now up to him to make
good. If he can't win on the first ballot
his defeat is predicted. -.
1t may take some time for the field
candidates to arrange matters satisfac-
torily between themselves, but they can
all meet on the common ground Of OPP
position to Alex McKenzie's domination
in North Dakota politics, and they are
satisfied that the first step is to defeat
Hansbrough. G. B. Little, who has been
friend of McKenzie's for more than
twenty years, has turned against. him
since the election in Burleigh county,
when Alex. conspired against the repub-
lican legislative ticket and helped to de-
feat it. The other senatorial candidates
have never been especially friendly to
Alex. and now they are going after his
scalp and incidentally, Mr.. Hansbroughs.

the Iowa Central are probably the better
of the two in that its net earnings show

Minneapolis q st. Louis are 81, 172 smaller
than the corresponding period year ago.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis shows ex-
pansion in its gross business. while the
iowa CentraFs gross is smaller than last
years. In the year ended June 80 last
