n. P. EARNINGS DECREASED
STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT ELL
LOTT REVEALS FALLING OFF.
High Cost of Living Said to Affect
Roads Same as Indi-
viduais.

st. Paul, July "a statement Just
issued by Howard Elliott, president
of the Northern Pacific road, regard
ing the revenues and expenses of
American railroads during the month
OF April, shows that on a per-mile
basis, returns reveal a decided de-
crease as compared with the CORE
spending period of 1910.
The statement shows that the reve-
nue., less operating expenses for all
roads reporting reveal decrease S14
per mile or At per cent. The period
covered consists of 10 months of the
fiscal year. Mr.. Elliott adds that the
volume of business done by railroads
shows no increase of consequence
while the cost of living, which indi-
viduals feel, affects railroads quite as
adversely He claims that it has not
been possible to avoid a sharp in
crease in operating expenses, while at
the same time railroads have done no
more business than in corresponding
period last year.
American Showing Best.
The statement gives figures to show
that while foreign railroads are fav-
ored with a great density of popula-
ton per mile of line, American lines
make a much better showing in low
capitalization, per capita, economy Of
operation and cheapness of freight
rates.
Earnings of roads in America dur
ing April show falling off over the
entire country, the decline amounting
to nearly 1924 900, practically all in
freight revenue, which was IL per
cent less than that of April, 1910
Passenger rates show a slight in
crease, according to their statement,
and the statement shows that while
April operating expenses declined, the
income shows a decrease. For the 10
months ending with April the decline
in freight business shows IL per cent
as given in the statement It is also
shown in the statement that while net
operating revenue has declined rs per
cent, the operating income has fallen
off 90 per cent.

The Fourth of July was the total re-
ported in the United States, according
to figures compiled by the Chicago

The nation wide spread of the sane
Fourth movement brought fruit in
the smallest number Of celebration

with previous years.
The death list of Is compares with
% reported the first night of last
years celebration, when the sane
Fourth movement was effective in
feai cities. The number of injured
reported is 342, as against 1885 last
year. In 1909, A were killed and

State Reserves 1923 Acres.

In response to resolution intro
duced in the assembly, calling on
State Forester Griffith for information
regarding the number of acres of
land now under option by the state
board Of forestry, the price to be
paid per acre and also the price which
has been paid for such lands, the
state forester sent a communication
to the assembly. In this report he
says that the board holds no land I'M
der option.
Mr.. Griffith included in his report
from September, 1907, forward.
Among the latest and heaviest pur-
chases were 27,252.51 acres of the G..
F. Sanborn Lumber company, Eagle
River, at $3.50 per acre; 600 acres of
the Boswell Manufacturing and Lum-
Der company, Wausau, at $3.50 per
acre: GAO acres of the Alexander
Stewart Lumber company, Wausau,
at SO per acre, and 1896 acres of the
Yawkey- Bissell Lumber company at
$3.50 per acre.
"All of the above purchases" said
Mr. Griffith, have been completed and
fully paid for except the Yawkey-
Bissell Lumber comrany, the Good
year Lumber company and the G. F.
Sanborn Lumber company, which will
be completed under land contracts as
funds are available"
The total acreage of lands pur-
chased is given at ,407 acres. Of
lands granted to the state by the fed
eral government and the Nebegamon
Lumber company there are 24,321
acres, making a total acreage of 1885,
728 acres.
In conclusion Mr. Griffith said that
most of the lands purchased con-
tanned valuable young timber, which,
if protected from fire, would grow into
valuable forests. The average price
paid, he said, was three dollars per
acre, which he considered reasonable
considering the location, much of the
land bordering on the lakes in the
northern part of the state.
