Northwestern Lines Show Improve
ment for First Week in December.
Special to The Journal.
New York, Dec. 19.-The earnings
of the northwestern roads are pick
ing up. They appear to have reached
their worst stage about the third week
in November and now to be doing
better. The following list shows the
results on the Canadian northwest
group for the first week in Decem-
ber:
Increase
Canadian Pacific $944, 900 S69, ,0O(
NJ, st. p. & S. s. M...... 15S,782 3095(
Canadian Northern -I6,100 90. 6O(
Both the Canadian Pacific and Soc
line were popularity supposed to be
on the down grade in the matter OF
gross earnings. 1t was freely pre-
dicted two weeks ago that both OF
them would continue to show de-
creases for awhile. They all seem
to have taken brace. The officials
of the northern lines say it is due
entirely to the fact that traffic is now
normal. where a few weeks ago il
was abnormally late. ....
For the first week in December
forty-three roads show an average
gross increase over last year of SGT
per cent, being nearly the same in
crease that was made last year over
the same period in 1901.

EARRING AND HARTMAN
Hold Conference i'm Chicago - Both
Are Satisfied.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-Edward H. Har-
riman and A. j. Earling, president Of
the Milwaukee railroad, held a short
conference In Chicago yesterday,
which, it was said, would have an i'm
portant bearing on the future rela-
tions between the Union Pacific and
the Milwaukee roads. Recent rumor
had it that the preferential arrange
ment entered into between the two
companies was not altogether salts
factory to the Milwaukee manage
ment. and that, therefore, the latter
might at any time see fit to extend
it's lines to the Pacific coast. Neither
Mr.. Hartman nor Mr.. Earling would
say anything about the matter other
than to express satisfaction regarding
the relations between the companies
which had, they asserted, worked to
the great good of both. This being
the case, it seems hardly probable
that the Milwaukee road can be seri-
ously contemplating a coast extern
sion, despite reports to the contrary

1OS.09 miles. The river division carried
zoos passengers and 21.S4T tons OF
freight. The fleet steamed ll2,269
miles during the year and served l15:-
$50 meals aboard the boats. Consld-
erning the small tonnage, the earnings
are something immense, looking at the
matter from the standpoint of the
American railroad. Nothing is said
to hint at the rates charged, but they
must be something startling. EX-
penses of Conducting transportation"
show something less than 2O per cent
of total gross, which may be taken to
prove that the best way to operate a
it will pay.

Special to The Journal
Sioux City, Dec. 19.-It is again re-

get a line to the coast. 1t will first
build to Denver; this much was stated
recently in Chicago by Roswell Miller,
chairman Of the board of directors of
the road. Two surveys have already
been made. The road will make al
most a direct route from ST. Paul and
Minneapolis. Here the line will con-
meet with the Moffat road, which is al
ready headed for Salt Lake thru a
rich area in Colorado. At Salt Lake,
the Moffat line will connect with Sem

THE MOST NORTHERN RAILWAY
All Kinds of Trouble on the White
Pass & Yukon.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal -. r. Z.
New York, Dec. 19.-The annual re-
port of the White Pass & Yukon, the
most northerly railroad, is extremely
interesting as affording the first Off
cial sketch of the troubles that afflict
this very peculiar railroad. 1t is note,
worthy that trouble seems to sit light
ly upon the men that are running the
road. In 1902 they paid regular div
idend of per cent and a special stock
dividend of 25 per cent. In 1908 earn
ings had fallen off to such an extent
that the total amount available for
dividends was reduced to $354,S76.
The income account of the railway
company, whose year ends June 80,
1908, shows as follows, with compart-
sons:
Net income ry. s393, 800 $S65. .OO5 "$471, sos

Net income for River division in 1902 was for
fourteen months and mail income in 1908 was for
eight months only. "a

Even in. the face of@this truly disap-
pointing showing, the president and
directors appear cheerful. The for
mer dwells upon the bright features
of the year and sketches in the causes
that led to the big decrease in earn
ings, closing with the remark that
things might easily have been worse
and will probably be better next year.
The rail division carried 16,059 pas
