been visiting here, Mr.. Shane, Mrs.
Frank Mulvany, Blanche and Percy
Mulvany. We were especially inter
ested in that locality because our creek
is known on the Blue Print by that
name. Thereby hangs tale. Three
or four years ago a man came from
Washington and located on claim
by aid of a blue print-needless to say
he visited the well known Deer Creek
neighborhood but fled on land here
and lost his rights eventually. Small
wonder that we gaze with wrapt at

This in turn will reflect itself in our

The latest evidence of public ack-

senger travel we enjoyed during the
exposition period and the good will
expressed toward us by the travelling
public generally.
While we are uttering New Years
wishes, perhaps it is appropriate to
express a word OF gratitude to the
public at large who have favored us
in travel and shipment upon oul
trains and our buildings and exhibits
at the exposition just closed. We
have entered upon the new year with
renewed feeling OF encouragement

S. P. President
Tells of Conditions

In general review Of business
conditions throughout the country
President VIM. Sproule Of the South
ern Pacific company, yesterday (Jan,
z predicted that when the war is
over the United States will find itself
in a strengthened condition CONNER
cially and financially with respect to
the rest Of the world.
I found business in the east in a
flourishing condition. The geenral
story is an hotels crowded to the
limit, theatres doing an overilowing
business and restaurants everywhere
say.
Trade In war supplies has stimulat-
ea the steel, copper and ammunition
business 10 an unexpected extent
This trade has brought great deal
Of money into The country with ex-
pectstions OF s great deal more.
There has also been an active mar
ket abroad for fOodstuffs, All this
is stimulating to the activities Of this
nation everywhere, including the Pa
cific Coast, for, when the east is busy
and prosperous the markets for the
products Of this coast are active. The
general commercial business Of the
Coast is also stimulated for when the
rest of the country is busy We by
sympathy and interest are busy.
When the war is over (speed the
day there will doubtless be some
readjustment following 1t, but even
then the indications are We will find
ourselves in a strengthened condi-
tion commercially and financially
with respect to the rest Of the world.
! do not mean that We can jump into
the imperial position the optimist
predicts. The optimist is OF value,
however, because he leads us in the
right direction, though it would not
be safe to follow him too far.
An important part Of the improve
ment is because of the confidence
business derives from the improve
ment in railroad earnings.
These earnings seems to be large
only because they follow years of
serious shrinkage in earnings that
the contrast becomes striking. 1t is
to be remembered that while the
earnings were shrinking capital was
being added to the property and if
the present earnings upon present
capital were, for example, to be COM
pared with 1912 and the two inter-
vening years, it will be found that
there is nothing unusual about the

present earnings and that the rail-
roads need them badly.
The railroads are chiefly paymast-
ers; they pay out the money nearly
as fast as they receive it. The I'M
provement in Southern Pacific earn
ings, for example. is permitting us
to do some rail renewal and ballast
ing that have been deferred because
We did not have the money TO spend.
This is TO provide better facilities
that We may better serve the pub
lie. We are planning to add several
thousand cars to our equipment, and
for the same reason.
We have no new construction in
mind. Money is hard to obtain for
that purpose, and probably will be
until railroad earnings show more
stability than in the past.

the general publicity now given to al
railroad affairs, a great many of the

in the railroad business are being

Between the state and federal com.
missions the public is informed ot
all that the railroads do in these
times, and as the public get greater
knowledge they will gain more con
fidence in the management Of thu
railroads. And this confidence il
