Northern Pacific Has Materially
Increased Mileage and
Earnings
PRESIDENT ELLIOTT RETIRES
In Farewell Message He Speaks
Hopefully of Conditions in
Northwest

President Howard Elliot who for
the past 10 years has been the active
head of the Northern Pacific will re-
tire Sept. 1st to accept the presidency
of large Eastern road. Monday of
this week the executive committee of
the board of directors met and decid.
ed to make promotions from the offic-
ers to meet new conditions. Mr.. Elliot
leaves with reluctance and in doing
so expresses faith in the future of the
Great Northwest and the Northern
Pacific, in the following farewell
message given out Monday evening:
EST. Paul, Aug. Al send this mes
sage with much of sadness and regret:
Of sadness because l am leaving some
very close and dear friends in the
Northwest, both personal and official.
OF regret that l give up the office of
President Sept. l and leave this part
of the country and many friends in
the railroad service and along the
line without whose loyalty and sup
port the Northern Pacific could not
have accomplished what it has.
l take this opportunity of extending
my heartfelt thanks to everyone for
their consideration and help.
"On Oct. %. 1903 l became presi-
dent of the N. P since then the
growth of the county, the kindly at
titude of the public and press, the
judgment, ability and courage of
the directors and stockholders in
raising money, and the earnest sup
port of the officers and employees
have all combined to make a greater
and better railroad of what was a
great railroad then.
SIN 10 years the miles of track of
the N. P, not including its import
ant subordinate controlled and affil-
lated roads, have Increased from 7,433
to 10,0l5, and the gross earnings from
$40, LAP to 81, 1915 ,0Oa in spite of the
building of new lines and the sub
division of business in territory form
erly served by the N. P. alone. These
figures tell something of the growth
of the past 10 years, but l believe the
next 10 will show a greater growth in
all directions. am very glad that 1
have had 10 years experience in this
wonderful Northwest, have been a
part of the management of the N. P.
and have helped to develop an organ
ization that can now carry forward
the work ana that l leave the prop
erty in better condition than ever
before to do it's work as one of the
great agencies for building up the
Northwest.
ssTo be able to turn the manage
ment Of the company's affairs over to
men now in the service who know
the country, the people, the officers,
the employees and the railroad is ex-
tremely gratifying to me. The ex-
ecutiye committee of the board OF
directors have authorized me to
make the following statement:
AFTER having carefully considered

Friday morning the bus team ran
away just as the vehicle was coming
out of the barn on the way to make
the Northern Pacific east bound train.
Neal was driving and the team, TAX
ing the bit in teeth, scooted straight
across Main street and jumped the
the iron railing used for hitching
teams on the east side of the street.
This brought the team to a halt.
The tongue of the bus was broken;
otherwise no damage was done.

The Island of Java is made up of SO

it is called the fire island. Between it

which blew off about twenty-seven
years ago with an explosion which was
heard in Southern Australia, 1900 miles
away.
That eruption took away two-thirds
of the island. and the sea is now 1000
feet deep where, the centre of the noun

crater in Java is in the eastern part
of the island. 1t is known as the Sand

now making on the Island of Hawaii.
That island is composed of volcanic

the sea bottom. This mass of lava Is
