T. F. RowIands, who occupies post
of honor, with great responsibility on
the great American railway system
was in Winnemucca for a few hours
yesterday. As superintendent and
manager of part of the Southern Pa
cifc system, Rowlands is known as a
TOP notcher in the transportation ser
vice of the west. Supt Rowlands, in
comomn with many business represen-
tatives, is confident of great i'm
provement in business the world over,
which is even now notable in trans
portation circles.
For some time,v he stated, "there
has been a marked increase in rail
road business, both in passenger and
travel and freight haul. No evidence
of improving conditions is better than
the country what the arteries are to
the human system. When healthful, it
means that the body of the nation is
in good condition and with the i'm
provement in railroad traffic it seems
to me that oter lines of business must
be improving, and / have full conf
dence that this will continue in spite
of unfavorable tendencies caused by
immature agitation of problems be-
yond us for many years. The crops
are immense, the business conditions
are sound as whole and with the
stability of our commerce beyond a
question, ! am an optimist as to the
time ahead and feel confident a great
era of prosperity in which railroad
business and the laboring interests
will benefit. There is every reason
for such confidence
"The Southern Pacifific is striving
Systematically to center in the west
the best business and Improvement
aims. 1t is doing all in its power to
attract capital to Nevada. It's settled
policy is to help develop the state s
9 sources, and especially is it giving
public attention to Nevada 3 basic
industries of agricultural and mining
opportunities. The company is adver-
tising these resources all over the
world and the prediction is that an
era of development and prosperity is
on in Nevada not equalled in it's past.
'sThe Southern Pacific is the great
est single enterprise in Nevada. 1t
does business and prompts great en-
terprises. It's property relationship to
the state is of great Importance and
it is source of money distribution
monthly not equalled by any other in
dustry in the state IT daily pays in
state, county and municipal taxes
81, 700. This daily contribution to the
support of the state is consider
alton deserving the attention of all
citizens. In addition to this, the com
pany pays out every month $225,000,
or about 100000 daily in wages in
Nevada. This volume of money in
circulation monthly is business
stimulus that is only partial to what
it win be, for through increase of
traffic the assurance is that the wage
roll in Nevada will be increased very
materially.
ssThe Southern Pacific is in har-
mony with the best Interests of Ne
vada 1t aims for the enlargement of
the states investments, of business
and degree of development which
will bring the highest measure of
prosperity possible. 1t seeks no ad-
vantages other than that unity of pur-
pose and energv upon which in an es-
sential condition the very life of
property and the real prosperity of
the whole state depends. With such
a unifcation of common interest
there is no doubt of an era of pros
perity and good will equal to any in
tn ehistory of the country
