UNION PACIFIC
SHOWS GROWTH
IMMENSE INCREASE OF
BUSINESS IN TEN YEARS.
Close OF First Decade of Hartman
Management Shows Increase OF
Gross Receipts From $4,000, 900
to SS7,5OO,OOO - Net Earnings in
Same Time Have Increased Over
$31,OOO,OOO.

New York, Jan. 16.-So inconspic-
uously placed in the just-issued an
nual report of the Union Pacific that
ii has attracted little or no attention,
is a comparison of the companys
condition and operations in 1898 and
in the closing year Of the decade of
Hartman management completed
last year. Using round figures, this
shows an increase of gross receipts
of from $33,OOO,0O0 in 1898 to SS7,-
100000 in 1907. The company's net
earnings in the same time have in
creased over $31, 100000.
Fixed charges increased from $4,-
100000 10 years ago to $11,500,000 in
1903. Since then there has been a
steady decrease, and under this head
ing the total for last year Is reduced
to $S,650,00O. While dividend dis
bursements in 1907 amounted OF over
$50, 100000 more than were paid in
1898, Union Pacific's net surplus for
the year increased from $1,000, 900
to $12,000,500, the largest in the his
tory of the company.
Since the reorganization of 1898
the Union Pacific and its Oregon
lines have increased the average
number of tons carried one mile per
mile of road from 410,758 tons to
1 l,010,543 tons, or $50 per cent. The
same comnarison of nassenQers car
ried shows an increase in the ratio
Of nearly 3 to 1-or from 1884 to
l20,520.

Election to Decide Salary.

Vicksburg, Miss, Jan. ia large
proportion of the legal voters OF
Vicksburg cast ballots in a special
election today in order to express
their opinion of the salary received
by a single city official. The pay en-
velope Of the city assessor was the
issue in this battle Of ballots. In the
past that official has been receiving
about $4,000 year. The city fathers
held that that was too much, and
that s25OO would be about right. The
assessor objected to this cut in his
pay and appealed to the governor,
with the result that special election
was ordered to decide the momentous
question.
