BURT MAY RETURN
TO UNION PACIFIC
Reports Say Retired President
Is to Be Reinstated by
Hartman.


|. Friends of Horace G. Burt, as well as.
railroad men who are interested and In a.
position to know, state that Mr.. Burt is
to return to the United States the early
part of the autumn.
! There Is a question as to what duties
Z Mr.. Burt will assume in the abroad
world when he returns to this country.
Railroad officials who are interested In
Mr. Burt state that he IS stiH drawing his
salary as president of the Union Pacific,
notwithstanding that he Is supposed to be
in Asia in the interests of some other
railroad
1t is said that Mr.. Burt had a con-
tract wifi Mr.. Hartman w3aen he went
to the Orient BY. the terms of the con-
tract it is said to be impossible for Mr..
corporation and at 4the same time draw
his salary from the Union Pacific. Rail-
road men believe that Mr. Burt will re-
turn to this country rather than cast
aside this salary.
Many are of the opinion that Mr.. Burt
will not assume the head of the Union
Pacific when he returns to the United
States. because they declare it is a well
known fact that Mr.. Burt and Mr.. Har-
rtman have, not agreed for some time.
However, it is said that Mr. Hartman
has been loath to part with the serv
ices of Mr.. Burt. recognizing his ability
as practical operating official and engi-
neer. and that some place of Importance
will be found for him If he does not
choose to take position abroad and cast
aside his reported salary Of $35 900
year with the Union Pacific.

CANADIAN PACIFIC
LOSES LONG FIGHT
~
Great Northern May Gross the Tracks of
The Dominion Line.

James J. Hill has scored an important
victory over the Canadian Pacific before
the railway Commission, which granted
the application of the Hill interests for a
new crossing by the Vancouver, West
minister e Yukon Railway company over
the tracks of the Canadian Pacific in the
town of Westminster.
The charter of the Vancouver West
minister &. Yukon railway was obtained
in 1902. The road has not had cent of
subsidy or an acre of land from any gov
eminent and over 81. 600, 900 has been spent
between the cities of New Westminster
Vancouver and Victoria. within the stat
utory limit Of two years provided in the
charter.
This is perhaps the first instance in
which this has been done by any new
road in Canada. The charter extends from
New Westminster to Dawson, traverSing
the province of British Columbia north
and south. the only charter so doing be-
tween those points. f~.
Now that the railway commission has
given pthe necessary leave to cross the
Canadian Pacific railway tracks, the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific railways
will be enabled to enter New Westminis-
ter and Vancouver as soon as the new
provincial government bridge across the
Fraser river is completed.
Doubtless the agitation for a readjust-
ment of the tariff as regards lumber will
thus be obViated. as the difficulty has
been rather one of rates than of duty.

PRAISES NORTHERN
PACIFIC STABILITY
Earnings Remain Satisfactory
Despite Adverse Conditions
in Roads Territory.


In a recent editorial the Wall Street
Journal says of the stability Of Northern
! Pacific securities:
"In March and April Northern Pacific
maintained its gross earnings almost on a
Hpar with those of 1903, and in net the road
: viii make a better showing than in 1893
consequently the revenues to secure in
/ terest and dividends will be stronger than
: in 1903.
"Inasmuch as these earnings have been
accomplished in the face of very bad
weather and during period when bust
ness uncertainty was spreading, the fig
ures are very noteworthy.
Traffic has been very badly Disturbed
through the entire Northwest. In addi-
ton to the severe weather these lines
have contended against copper. war IN
Montana, general disorganiZation In the
lumber traffic of the far Northwest, due
to the checking of the demand for North
western lumber in the prairie country,
and the partial paralysis of the Puget
sound fish industries. due to the meth
DDS of competition and administration
All these conditions exist today In
greater or less degree. In spite of them
: Northern Pacific is carrying on a well
established trade upon a basis that must
be regarded as it's permanent basis, in
determining the degree of stability that
should characterize the securities of this
company.
Though Northern Pacific is always re-
ferred to as transcontinental railroad
1t is noteworthy fact that at the pres
ent time more than SO per cent of its
traffic is to be classed rather as local than
as transcontinental traffic. The road
has well established position as a carrier
of long haul business for the supply of the
American West with the products of the
Middle West and of the Eastern states.
ut is in the development Of this func-
ton and in the development of the cor
responding business in east-bound traffic
from Washington, Idaho, Montana. ETC.,
to Iowa. Illinois. etc, that Northern Pa
cific has found during the past two years
and is finding today a permanent traffic
that is the mainstay of the system. This
long-haul business is-in volume slightly
less than last year, but is still the most
important factor in Northern Pacific rev.

the band as he poked Jantz under the
chin with his second revolver.
y Jantz showed fight, and, selling the
srobber by both arms, dragged him into
a rear vestibule, a swinging door sep
arating them from the saloon. Here
the two had a desperate fight, and
Jantz narrowly escaped being struck
by two bullets from the robbers gun.
Holding the man so that he could not
use the guns, Jantz forced him to his
knees and threw him against the door.
The robber managed to fire two
shots, one of which barely missed
Jantz the powder discoloring his hand.
Another shot was discharged so near
the saloonman's head that the powder
burned his forehead. Throwing the
robber against the door leading to the
street, Jantz slipped through another
door in the rear of the ante-room and
bolted it on the outside.
Having secured temporary respite, the
saloon owner cried to his wife to bring
him his revolver. Mrs. Jantz soon ap-
peared with the gun, which her hus-
band took and returned to the scene
of conflict. When he returned to the
saloon the robbers had disappeared.
While Jantz was fighting with the
leader in the rear room, the second
robber struck August Christ, one of the
men at the bar, with the butt end of
his revolver. Christ though staggered
by the blow, seized the man by the
Fthroat and the robber fired a shot,
which passed through Christ's coat.
Third Man Shoofs Erohero
While Christ was having the strug-
gle with the second man the third was
occupied with Brittschneider and Peter
Ziller. The robbers in the saloon evil
IDENTIFY became alarmed at this point,
and the man engaged by Jantz made an
exit from the side door as soon as
Jantz secured himself in the rear room.
Brittschneider and FILLER, graphing
with the second thief, slowly retreated
to the rear, and when they reached the
side door released the robber, who
availed himself of the opportunity and
fed. He joined his confederate, who
was already standing in the middle of
the street.
