SENATOR ALLEE

II seems to be the popular thing
these days to throw bouquets at our
new senator's, but while we do not wish
to be churlish, yet we cannot bring
ourself 20 congratulate the state on
the selection OF J. Frank Alice. His
character. training and native quali-
ties preclude the hope OF our being rep
resented IN any adequate way We
also believe that Mr.. Allees election
to the Legislature was secured only by
violating the Constitution of the State.
When added to this is the fact that Mr.
Alice has devoted the last ten years Of
his life to building up and controlling
the Addicka machine machine which
for corruption has no parallel in our
history-we cannot express even ae-
quiescence without f-sultihcation.
We do hope. however, that Mr.. Alice,
In his position of responsibility and
trust may develop qualities which
have lain dormant. We hope that he
may retrieve himself, and break loose
from the thraldom OF Addickssm. 1t
Is possible for him I'm his new atmos-
phere TO rise above the system which
made him, and lead in a reform within
his own party. II is possible that he
may do this. and we wish we might
say that 1t is TO be expected. But,
anyway we shall not IN spleen with
hold from Senator Alice any commen-
datlon TO which he may be entitled.

New York. Aug. 2s.-The forthcoming
annual report OF Wisconsin Central will
outline the most successful years opera
lions since the receivership. Earnings re-
ported to date indicate that the company
has earned, after charges, over per cent
on the preferred stock.
The surplus for the year, before the
usual subtraction In part payment of capt.
tai improvements. will aggregate about
1900 900 as compared with $48O,1O4 In
1902. Allowing $125, 900 for the charge to
improvements, the total surplus Of the
company, mostly In cash. will aggregate
over $1,000, 900. the total surplus carried
forward in 1902 being $632,o4o.
Operating expenses during the first
eleven months of the year were 65.5 per
cent OF gross as compared with 64.2 per
cent last year. This ratio must be con-
sidered very significant in view Of the in
creased wages paid this year and the in
crease in the cost Of materials and sup
plies. In point Of fact. it represents two
distinct factors in the railroad situation
west Of Chicago.
In the first place Wisconsin Central has
curtailed its extraordinary expenditures
during the year on account OF economic
conditions. The company has spent over
a quarter of million on dock improve
ments and has maintained its lines in good
condition, but little new enterprise has
been instituted on the road, and rigid
economy has been practtced In all de-
partments.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1903-08-28

In 1902 the company laid 6,21S tons OF
new steel rails and retired 4,437 tons,
charging the difference to operating COST
The tonnage Of rails this year has not
been greatly reduced. The tonnage IN
1904 will be very considerably reduced.
The other factor In the reduction OF
operating cost is the gradual I'M
provement in operating conditions on the
road. For several years the company has
been improving its rolling stock, equip
ment, roadbed, grades, etc. This work
Is making itself felt. Out of the total
increase in expenses last year less than
third was in conducting transporta-
ton and general expenses. This year the
proportion will probably be som ewhat
greater owing to the continued advance
In wages, ETC., but it will be relatively
disproportionately small part Of the total
increase. considering the greatly In
creased tonnage transported
It will be remembered that during the
current year the company has incurred
an annual charge of 100000 on account of
equipment trust agreements to secure the
payment of $6oO,O00 for equipment de-
slivered prior to JAN 1, 1908, In addition,
the company has paid out during the year
$138,453 in cash on account OF the same
equipment The annual charge Of $4,000
and interest at per cent on whatever re-
mains unpaid Of the $780, 900 accounts for
the increase In fixed charges, etc.
In general the business of the company
has progressed satisfactorily. This Is the
first entire year during which the ex-
pensive new terminal facilities at Min
neapolis, st. Paul and Manitowoc have
earned money In consequence Of the In
creased facilities offered to shippers at the
twin cities the road was able to get per-
haps more than its share Of the -four trade
thruout the year. For time 1t led the
roads that cater to this trade.
The Manitowoc division q new line last
year, has built up rail and lake business
from the twin cities to the east delivering
to the ferries that distribute traffic to the
Michigan roads.

Washington points has been fastened
during the slack months of the summer in
expectation of the usual heavy demand for
cars to move the crops In September.
The fall movement, in spite OF this
slackening. is expected to be heavier than
usual The roads have done everything
possible to maintain the supply OF east
bound lumber, lath, finished lumber prod
ucts in the shape of doors, etc., available
for shipment thruout the fall and early
winter. For instance the rate on doors,
ETC., manufactured In eastern Washing
ton has lately been reduced from SO to so
cents, making it equal to the rate from
the Puget Sound ports to Missouri river
points Formerly tho the haul was much
shorter, the rates were 20 cents higher.
The mill people have been trying to get
q better rate on lath and ptckets. The
movement Of these commodities by rail
last year was very light, only about 3d.
600, 900 pieces as compared with $1,000, 900
carried by ships. The reason Is that the
rates on lath and picket, are nearly pro-
hibitive. The railroads, it is said, are go
ing to remedy this. The mill people are
patient, realizing the railroads have done
very much for the lumber industry Of the
northwest and will gradually do still more.
The demand for western lumber for
Iowa and Illinois, which has been an i'm
portant factor during the past few years.
has been cut down somewhat this year
OWING TO the exodus Oh SSttieIS-1IO1Il Illcit
territory to the Canadian northwest. The
settlers in that country have naturally
taken their lumber from British Columbia
and even from North Ontario. This factor
| in the situation has something to do with
the letting down in the demand at the
present time.
I Another important factor in northwest
ern traffic on Northern Securities lines
is going to run somewhat light this sea-
SON. This is the salmon freight from the
cannertes The most important station Of

Bering sea reports catch Of $4,000 cases

Of last year. The catch Of red salmon in
Alaska has been heavy but of pinks it has

The best catch Of the western fishers is
usually the catch Of sockeyes, made along
/ the Puget Sound coasts. This year the
sockeyes did not begin their run at all
during the regular season. and they had
been about given up for good when they
made their appearance. Even now the
catch this year will run away below the
] average. 1t is estimated at 100000 fish

Rock Island May Make Deal for More
Direct Line to Frisco
San Francisco, Aug. 27.-Negotiations
are now on for an exchange Of trackage
rights between the Santa Fe and the Rock
Island roads by which the Rock Island will
be able to run trains into San Francisco.
The Rock Island is seeking trackage
rights over the Santa Fe's lines this side
Of Albuquerque. The present negotiations
contemplate a reciprocal arrangement.
Santa Fe wants trackage rights over the
Rock Island Ell Paso line from point
In eastern New Mexico across Texas and
Oklahoma in connection with one Of It's
tracks in southwestern Kansas. This
would save the Santa Fe building much
costly new tracks. PaysOn and Bissell OF
the Santa Fe will not give the details Of
the new arrangement, but they admit
that negotiations are under way. For the
Rock Island to use Santa Fe tracks would
shorten it's line from Chicago to Los An
geles by over 100 miles and would shorten
the line to San Francisco by $50 miles.
