As regards the loss here shown in the value of the
petroleum shipments and also the loss in the value of
the cotton exports, the latter reaching almost three
million dollars, it is to be said that the falling off in
both cases is due entirely to lower prices, since actually
we sent out more in quantity than in the month of last
year— that is to say, we exported 50,614,668 gallons of
petroleum, against only 46,673,463 gallons, and 449,816 bales of cotton against 443,523 bales. The loss in
petroleum and cotton values, however, was much
below the gain in breadstuffs values, and hence on the
total of the leading staples there is a gain over March,
1891, of about 7£ million dollars, this total being
$60,257,625, against $52,495,637.
According to the Agricultural Bureau at Washingion the condition of winter wheat is much below that
of a year ago. The général average for the country on
the 1st of April is reported at 81*2, which compares
with 96 9 on the 1st of April last year. In Ohio the
condition is reported at 71 against 98, in Michigan 83
against 93, in Indiana 78 against 99, in Illinois 82
against 97, in Missouri 72 against 96, and in Kansas 77
against 99. In Oregon the condition is given at 98
against 97, and in California at 99 for both years. It
thus appears that the falling off in condition is pretty
general among the leading producing States, but we
think it unwise to lay any great stress on that circum
stance as indicative of future results. It is too early in
the season to make any definite predictions as to the
final outcome. A very decided improvement is pos
sible between now and harvest time, and in point of
fâct some improvement, if current accounts are
to be believed, has already taken place since the first of
April. Moreover it should not be overlooked that
several of the State reports make the average for their
States materially higher than the National Bureau
makes it. Kansas is a notable instance, the State
Department giving the average as 85, while the Wash
ington Department gives it as only 77. Furthermore
as bearing on the probability of an improvement, the
statement of the Agricultural Bureau that “ winter kill
ing was exceptional or limited to flat and wet areas,” is
very important. Where a low average is the result of
winter killing, as frequently happens, there is of course
little chance of much recovery ; but in this case we are
distinctly informed that there has been little or no
winter killing, a circumstance which, as the Depart
ment itself admits, renders material recuperation pos
sible under favoring meterological conditions.
The Iron and Steel Association at Philadelphia,
through Mr. James M. Swank, furnishes a statement of
the stocks of unsold pig iron on hand the 1st of April.
It appears that there Were in the hands of makers or
617
their agents at the date mentioned 718,579 gross tons
of pig iron, and that in addition there were 41,020 tons
in the storage warrant yards, making an aggregate of
759,599 tons of unsold pig, which compares with an
aggregate of 627,233 gross tons the 1st of January, so
that there was an increase of 132,366 tons during
the three months. The Association also finds that the
number of furnaces in blast has decreased iron 313 on
the 1st of January to 279 on the first of April. The
latter fact, Mr. Swank says, would afford much encour
agement were it not for the increase in stocks; the
two together, he says, plainly indicate that the con
sumption of pig iron has greatly fallen off during that
period. If Mr. Swank means that consumption has fallen
off as compared with the corresponding period last year,
we hardly think the conclusion justified. It is not merely
the number of furnaces in blast, but their capacity,
that forms the most important element in the problem.
According to the figures prepared by the Iron Age
there was a great increase in the production of iron
between the 1st of January and the 1st of March, and
it is only since the latter date that there has been a
material reduction. The Age made the capacity of
the furnaces in blast January 1 188,082 tons per week
and the capacity March 1 193,902 tons, this latter being
the largest ever reported. For April 1 the capacity is
given as 185,462 tons, or 2,620 tons less per week than
at the beginning of the year. Even at 185,462 tons
per week, however, the production is about 72,000
tons per week larger than on the 1st of April of last
year, when on account of the Connellsville coke
strike the capacity got down to 113,483 tons. Such
figures lend little support to the idea of a falling off in
consumption. Moreover, as regards the increase in
stocks, the Iron Age is authority for the statement
that accumulations are usual at this period of the year.
The Union Pacific statement of gross and net earn
ings for February was issued yesterday, and on the
whole makes a pretty satisfactory exhibit.
While
there is a loss on the Pacific lines— the Oregon Naviga
tion and the Oregon Short Line— the Kansas and
Nebraska lines have made heavy gains, so that in the
aggregate there is an increase of $147,391 in gross
earnings and an increase of $123,374 in net. The
Missouri Pacific has also furnished its February return
this week. It shows a gain of $255,083 in gross earn
ings and a gain of $43,969 in net. The Illinois Cen
tral is another large company whose return has come
to hand; it has $161,853 gain in gross and $52,182
gain in net. The Louisville New Albany & Chicago
for February reports net of $66,331, against $14,797 ;
the Louisville New Orleans & Texas $87,890, against
$71,820 ; the' New York Ontario & Western $30,709,
against $24,234; the Philadelphia & Erie $105,425,
against $97,250; the Cleveland & Canton $15,706,
against $10,593, and the Mexican Central $169,107,
against $198,384. For March the San Francisco &
North Pacific reports net of $12,416, against $10,554;
the Jacksonville Tampa & Key West $65,108, against
$57,410, and the Nashville Chattanooga & St. Louis
$151,461, against $117,799.
The stock market has developed strength through
the week, and prices as a rule are higher than last
Friday. The anthracite coal stocks have been special
features in the upward movement, being aided by the
advance in coal freights to the Lakes.. The rise has
not been confined to these stocks, however, but has ex
tended to the general list. There has undoubtedly
been considerable buying to cover short sales, and the

number March 11 1882 was only 2,187. The increase
from this figure to 3,711, the present number, certain
ly represents very noteworthy growth.
Another point to attract attention is the immense
magnitude of the operations of the system. Take the
total of the loans and discounts for instance. This is
now in excess of two thousand million dollars, the
amount for the first of March being reported $2,044,841,291; if we add overdrafts the amount is raised to
$2,058,925,166. On March 4 1887 the aggregate was
only 1,515 million dollars and on March 11 1882 it
was but 1,182 millions. In other Avords, during the
last five years the aggregate has risen over 543 million

Out of an increase roughly of 98 million dollars in
the four years, less than 7 millions has been in the
Eastern section, while in the Western States the in
crease has been not-far from 42 million dollars, in the
Southern States almost 29 million dollars and in the
Pacific States over 20 million dollars. In the East the
increase has been only from 329 to 336 million dollars,

This shows, perhaps, the most striking result of all.
Considering that the Eastern section embraces such
important financial, centres as New York, Boston and
Philadelphia, and that business at these centres grows
not alone with the expansion of industrial activity in
the East, but also with that in other parts of the
country, a very heavy increase in the deposits of the
banks in this section is natural, and was to be expected.
The fact of chief interest is that outside of the New
England'and Middle States the increase in deposits
of the national banks has been larger than the increase
within those States. That is. to say, with an increase
of 450 million dollars for the whole country the
Eastern section has 216 millions increase and the rest
of the country 234 millions.
Of this latter, the
Western States furnish roughly 158 millions, the
Southern 47 millions and the Pacific 29 mil
lions. In the Eastern section the total is up
from 732 millions to 948 millions, in the Western
from 326 to 484 millions, in the Southern from 132 to
179 millions and in the Pacific section from 61 to 90
millions. The growth of the national banks in some of
these sections, in number, capital and deposits alike, is
the more noteworthy since in many cases there has
been a coincident growth in the banks organized under
State laws. In an article on the “ Growth of State
Banks ” in our State and City Supplement last
October, we developed that point at length and showed
that in most of the Western States, and notably in Illi
nois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa, there
had been a very decided increase in recent years in the
number and operations of the State banks. And there
has been a further general increase sincejthea.

LOGAL FINANCES.
The Census Office has issued the first of a series o f
bulletins prepared by Mr. J. K. Upton, the special
agent in charge of the division of wealth, debt and tax
ation, that will, when completed, be of great interest
and value. The bulletin referred to, No. 162, exhibits
in general and in detail the finances of the State of
Maine. Since it is to be followed, of course, by similar
statements regarding each of the other States, it may be
examined not only with reference to the particular
facts and statistics it contains, but as a model and ex
ample of the series of which it is the beginning.
We are to have then detailed statements of the
assessed valuation, divided between real and personal
estate, of all cities and towns ; the amount of taxation
levied in 1890 by authority of the State, the counties
and the minor local governments down to the “ plan
tation/" which is the name given in Maine to a sparsely
settled township having an organization more rude and
primitive than that of the town; the debts restingupon each corporation, municipal, county and State,
together with the purpose for which created in the
case of all except the towns under 2,500 inhabitants,
and the expenditures of each fully classified. There
are also statements showing the rate of interest
on the debt and the time of its maturity. In short,
there seems to be lacking nothing that is necessary for
the statistical study of the finances of the State. An
investor would wish for fuller information before pur
chasing the securities of the corporations reported upon,
but such information would hardly be expected in a
Government publication. The State of Maine lends
itself readily to the system adopted for several reasons»
In the first place, both real and personal estate areentered for purposes of taxation, and with the excep
tion of that which cannot be found by assessors it ie
supposed to be returned at its full value. Again, the
local system is simple, in that township limits are in all
eases the same as those of cities and towns. Further
more, the valuation is made directly by the authority of
the State once in ten years, and thus there is a uniform
system. Were this not the case the valuation figures
might be swelled by the local pride of town assessors, or
diminished by the anxiety of communities to escape the
State taxation. There is no doubt a good reason why
the statistics of Maine appear first— the reason that the
facts can be obtained with comparative ease and pre
sented with remarkable simplicity.
Turning now to the returns for this one State we
find that the valuation of Maine in 1890 was $309,129,101. The total amount raised by taxation, not in
cluding licenses, assessments, &c., was $4,922,858*
The total of all ordinary expenditures was $6,133,830.
The aggregate debt of the State and its county and
minor divisions was $15,600,777.
The population
of the State was 661,086. It appears then that th e
average valuation was $467 to each inhabitant, and the
taxes paid were $7 45 per caput, being at the rate o f
1*6 cent on each dollar of assessed valuation. The debt,
amounted to $23 60 for each person. If all the facte
could be obtained the showing would no doubt be more
favorable ; for it is beyond question that a large sum
is always out of the reach of assessors when a valuation
is taken for purposes of taxation. The law exempts a
certain amount of property for each family, for one
thing, and the Bulletin takes note that none of the
deposits in savings banks, which amounted in 1890 te
$44,136,113, are included in thè valuation. Take fu r-

Among the individual systems the Chicago Mil
waukee & St. Paul has for March the largest amount
of gain of any road in our tables. The gain is really
of very striking amount, reaching over six hundred
thousand dollars— $609,148. Only second to the St.
Paul is the Great Northern system— also in the North
west— with a gain of $562,099. The list of large gains
for the month is quite an extensive one, but these two
roads far excel all others, the third in order for amount
of increase being the Missouri Pacific, which, including
the Iron Mountain, has a gain of $226,190.
A
Southern road, the Louisville. & Nashville, stands
fourth, with $203,186 increase.
Then comes the
New York Central with $193,311 increase (taking
the same basis of mileage in both years); after
this come the" Rock Island with $183,524; the
Grand Trunk (including the Chicago & Grand

with $138,222; the Nashville Chattanooga & St. Louis
with $112,503, the Western & Atlantic being inoluded
this year but not last; the Wabash with $111,366; the
Northern Pacific with $93,902; the Denver & Rio

The gains, it will be observed, are found chiefly
among the grain-carrying roads in various parts of the
country, and certainly with many of these roads the
grain movement was an influence of controlling im
portance. In the Northwest particularly was this the
case— more especially the spring-wheat sections of the
Northwest. Take Duluth for example: for the five
weeks ending April 2 the present year the deliveries of
wheat at that point were 4,145,232 bushels against
only 989,587 bushels in the corresponding five weeks of
last year—that is, this year's movement was over four
times that of last year, the increase being more than
three million bushels. A t Minneapolis also there was a
heavy increase, the receipts this year having been
6,882,410 bushels against only 4,623,640 bushels last
year. Besides this, Chicago had receipts of 2,168,887
bushels for the five weeks, against 1,123,743 bushels,
and Milwaukee receipts of 1,157,316 bushels against
677,712 bushels.
It is rather notable that while the Northwestern points
all show greatly enlarged totals, none of the other
points show any considerable increase, but on the con
trary decreases, some of them. Thus at both Toledo
621
C H R O N IC LE .
and Detroit the receipts were but slightly above those'
for last year, while St. Louis has a total of only 937,031 bushels against 1,178,184 bushels, Cleveland 153,822 bushels against 239,229 bushels, and Peoria 99,500
bushels against 103,500 bushels. The following is
our usual statement giving the grain movement in
detail.

In addition to the increase in the wheat movement—
amounting at the nine points combined to about 6£
million bushels— it will he seen there was an increase
of over 5 million bushels in the receipts of corn and
also some increase in both oats and barley. Taking
wheat, corn, oats, barley and rye together, the receipts for
the five weeks this year were 42,088,737 bushels, against
only 28,864,457 bushels in the corresponding period
of last year, being an increase of about 13|- million
bushels— equal roughly say to 300,000 tons of freight.
But in this augmentation all the points have not par
ticipated. We have already alluded to the exceptions
in the case of wheat. The same irregularity is observ
able in the case of corn and oats. The gain in corn is
found almost entirely at Chicago, St. Louis and Toledo;
Detroit, Cleveland and Peoria all exhibit diminished
receipts. Peoria at the same time suffered a diminution
of nearly half a million bushels in the receipts of oats,
and that point on the whole fared rather badly, its re
ceipts of all kinds of grain for the five weeks this year
being only 2,127,800 bushels, against 2,560,100 bushels
last year. The loss at this point at a time when the
aggregate grain movement was so Tery much heavier
than a year ago is an important circumstance to he re
membered in considering the earnings of the roads in
that part of the country.
Chicago has gained on every one of the cereals, and
that makes it desirable to see the movement at that point
by itself. In the following we show the grain receipts
at Chicago for the even month in the last three years,
and also the comparative figures for the first quarter of
the year. The same table likewise gives the compara
tive receipts of hogs and provisions.

The total of the grain receipts at Chicago was thus
about 4,700,000 bushels larger than for the same month
last year and also about 825,000 bushels larger than
for the year before. As regards the corn receipts it is
worth pointing out that though considerably larger
than last year they were much below those of 1890, the
total then having been over 10 million bushels, against
6 f million bushels the present year. In provisions and
live hogs there was this year a pretty general falling off
from last year, the cutmeats receipts being only 10
million pounds against 20 millions, the receipts of lard
less than 4 million pounds against over 8 millions, and
the receipts of hogs 632,594. head against 861,902.
As regards the cotton movement in the South, we
have already stated that there was an increase in the
shipments overland, but a falling off in the aggregate
of receipts at the Southern ports.
The shipments
overland were 149,550 bales against 114,875 bales, and
the receipts at the ports 342,748 bales against 385,280
bales, being in the one case a gain of 34,675 bales and
in the other a loss of 42,532 bales. Some of the
Southern ports, however, show a gain notwithstand
ing the loss in the aggregate of all the ports. This
applies particularly to the Gulf ports, Galveston and
New Orleans. The Atlantic ports nearly all show
diminished totals. The statement in detail is presented
herewith.

Quite in contrast with the exhibit of Southern roads
is that of Northwestern roads. There the wheat move
ment, we have seen, was of extraordinary dimensions,
and all the roads reflect the presence of that influence.
While the St. Paul and the Great Northern are especi
ally distinguished for their very heavy gains— the one
having added $609,148 to its last year’s total and the
other $562,099— the list of gains is extensive and em
braces all but the Iowa Central and three minor
roads, which report decreases.
The Rock Island
has $183,524 increase, the “ Soo” Road $62,125,
the Burliogton Cedar Rapids & Northern $58,967, the
Duluth South Shore & Atlantic $46,400, the St. Paul
& Kansas City $45,168, tiieSt. Paul & Duluth $39,363,
the Wisconsin Central $30,095, &c. The Burlington
& Quincy, the Northwest and the Omaha do not fur
nish early preliminary returns, and the Milwaukee Lake
Shore & Western has discontinued making returns al
together. On the ten roads in the following, earnings
have jumped from $5,698,428 in 1891 to $7,235,293 in
1892.

Up to Thursday evening there was a strong demand for
loans, and the Bank of England did a large business. This
was due partly to the usual requirements at the end of the
quarter, partly to the fact that the joint-stock banks were

During the year ended Thursday night there was paid into

Wednesday evening. The accounts open for the rise are the Exchequer on account of the British Government very
shown to have been reduced during the fortnight; but as the nearly 91 millions sterling, and somewhat over 7% millions

same gave rise to a good demand for loans. Th$ expectation receipts of the United Kingdom for the 12 months a little over
now is that the Bank rate will be reduced next Thursday 98% millions sterling, the largest amount ever collected in a
year of peace. The State revenue—that is, excluding the
and that we shall have a long period of easy money. The
only cause apparent at present likely to disturb the market is local authorities receipts—shows an increase of somewhat
over a million and a half sterling over the preceding

That is one reason why the public is holding aloof from the
market.
An additional reason of course is the crisis
through which we have been passing. Many wealthy firms
¿and large operators have suffered immense losses, and are no
longer able to act on the scale they formerly did; on the con
trary they are compelled to realize on every favorable oppor
tunity securities for which there is a free market. But
•over and above that reason a fear exists that the
¡silver policy of the United States must bring on
trouble. At the same time the great depreciation of silver
together with the heavy fall in cotton, has had so bad an effect
upon Lancashire that people are looking for numerous com
mercial failures. Furthermore, Indian finance suffers from
the fall in silver, from the drought, and from the relief-works
■expenditure. Then, again, the banking crisis in Australia has
n ot yet come to an end. However, the Associated Banks in
Melbourne have decided to give whatever assistance may be
necessary to all their members, and this assures us against any
serious banking trouble. From Brazil reports come of con
tinued political disturbance, but in Argentina trade is un
doubtedly reviving. Then’also the Pari3 Bourse shows extra
ordinary strength, and there has been some slight recovery
during the week in inter-bourse securities generally.

The Money Market and Financial Situation.—To-day be
ing Good Friday, all the Exchanges are closed as usual, but
the banks are necessarily kept open, as it is not a legal holiday.
Business closed on Thursday afternoon with a rather cheerful
tone and a stronger feeling at the Stock Exchange.
W e hear nothing more now of gold exports, and it has also
been a good feature that the foreign markets have recently
been buyers rather than sellers of American securities. Dur
ing the time when London was sending back our stocks and
bonds a few weeks ago, the English correspondent of the
C h r o n i c l e was commenting on the fact that Lancashire cot
ton spinners were among the chief sellers, and thus the effects
of low cotton and low silver worked in this roundabout way
against our Stock Exchange markets.
Railroad net earnings for February are making a good com
parison with 1891, but there was one extra day in February
t.hig year. The Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Illinois
Central reports for February just to hand all show a moderate
increase in net earnings over the same month last year.
As new points in the railroad situation we have this week
the report that New Y ork Central parties will have a repre
sentation in the Delaware & Hudson Board (though this re
port is not confirmed) and the announcement that up to Thurs
day night more than $50,000,000 of the Richmond Terminal
stocks had been deposited under the Olcott plan, as well as
$8,320,000 of the bonds; This announcement and the better
outlook in Reading affairs were the principal matters of inter
est at the close of busi ness on Thursday.
The open market rates for call loans during the week on
stock and bond collaterals have ranged from 1% to 2 per cent,
the average being a little less than 2 p. c. Thursday rates on
1892.

Foreign Exchange.—The market for sterling bills has been
dull most of the time, and after slight fluctuations the rates on
actual business close nearly the same as last week. There is more
inclination on the part o f foreign purchasers to take American
securities, and the cotton trade has also been more hopeful

State and Railroad B on d s—The sales of State bonds at the
Board have included only $4,000 of Alabama, class “ A ,” a
102%, and $1,500 La. consol. 4s at 81%.
Railroad bonds have shown more animation in the promi
nent issues, among which the Richmond Terminal fives and
Reading preferred incomes are easily first in point of activity.
The Richmond Terminal plan has been so much progressed as
to strengthen very greatly the Terminal securities, under the
prospect that the plan will become effective, for it has
been said from the start that it might be carried out with
out the immediate consent of all the holders of underlying
bonds on the several roads. The 5s closed on Thursday at 59
and the 6s at 89%. Reading preferred incomes have again be
come active, advancing considerably for the second and third
issues, which have been dealt in most largely. The excellent
exhibit of earnings so far this year and the good impression
created by the Reading answer in the Arnot suit have had
much influence; but beyond these matters there is a feel
ing that whether the recent leases are sustained or not, the
anthracite coal business will be held more closely and the rail
roads will not compete as sharply as heretofore. The new
Chesapeake & Ohio 4% per cent general mortgage bonds have
come on the list and sold Thursday at,82-82%. There have not
been large sales of other bonds, but prices are generally steady,
and there are indications of rather more confidence among
buyers, which may lead to firmer prices.
Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks.—The stock market
has been only moderately active since our last report, and
there has been no development of news to cause movements in.
special stocks. There is a better undertone throughout, and
one stock after another makes a quiet advance, apparently
under a greater confidence in its merits. Reading has been a
leader in activity and closed at 59%, with strong buying on
Thursday for the same reasons affecting the income bonds as
mentioned above. The other coal stocks have also been strong,
and the report that N. Y . Central parties will have a
representation in the Del. & Hud. Board (whether correct or
not) has been one of the causes for greater strength in aU the
coal-roads stocks. Erie has been touched by the same influ
ences, and also Ontario & Western and N. Y . Susquehanna &
Western, as all of these are coal roads to a greater or less
extent. Richmond Terminal stock and trust certificates have
not shared in the activity of the bonds under the improved
prospects for the plan, and the closing price of the stock was
W
The Lake Erie & Western stocks have been stronger,
on a'possible increase in the preferred stock dividend to 5 per
cent a year. American Cotton Oil has been strong, closing at
41%. National Cordage was depressed for a time by a suit o f
an ex-employe in New Jersey to enjoin the payment of d iv i
dends, but afterward recovered on the president’s denial of
the charges brought. American Sugar has been strong on
its better prospects of controlling the trade since the Phila
dfelphia purchase.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
Tliomson-Houston Electric Company.
31, 1892.^
A t the animal meeting of the Thomson-Houston Electric
Company at Middletown, Conn., nearly the entire capital stock
was represented in person or by proxy. The following directors
were chosen: H. A. Pevear, C. A. Coffin, B. F. Spinney, J. N.
Smith, 0. H. Newhall, Eugene Griffin, S. Endicott Peabody,
T. Jefferson Coolidge, Jr., C. A. Barton.
The pamphlet report of the Thomson-Houston Electric Com
pany is for the year ended Jan. 31, 1892. Nothing is said
concerning the consolidation with the Edison General Elecric Company, which is now pending. The first half-year
is reported materially poorer for business than the previous
year. The decrease was some 30 per cent, but this loss was
almost wholly recovered in later months, and there was a
gratifying increase in every department.
The report says: “ The unfilled orders in hand at the present
time, as compared with the same date of last year, are more
than double in amount, and in each of the various departments
of the business the orders received since the 1st of January are
very largely in excess of those of a year ago. The outlook for
the ensuing year is most encouraging. A recapitulation of
the business from the Boston office of the company for the
cast nine years has been: 1883, $426,987; 1884, $700,470; 1885,
$983,996; 1886, $1,405,041 ; 1887, $2,335,594; 1888, $4,435,902;
1889, $8,222,789; 1890, $10,217,661; 1891, $10,304,580.”
The newly-organized lighting companies numbered 118 in
1891 making January 1, 1892, 873. These companies have
in use 100,293 arc lights and about 800,000 incandescent
lights compared with 87,131 arc lights and 616,355 in
candescent lights January 1, 1891. The number of street
railway companies operating and under contract in
creased 59 during the year, making 204 in all, employing
altogether nearly 3,000 cars, with an aggregate mileage
of about 2,500 miles. “ Great advance has been made in
the development of electric locomotives for freight and pas
senger service. The first installation for freight purposes has
lately been very successfully made, and has more than real
ized all that was expected of it. It is confidently believed
that electric passenger locomotives with a speed of 40 to 50
miles per hour will soon be in successful operation.”
It is explained that the liabilities in the balance-sheet do
not include $500,000 Thomson-Houston collateral trust bonds,
issued in 1889 as an accommodation to the Manhattan Electric
Company of New York, and assumed and secured by that
company. *‘ The Thomson-Houston company has received from
its stockholders from time to time $10,500,000 in actual cash
from subscriptions to its common and preferred stock. The
la 9t issue of common stock, amounting to $1,500,000 at par,
was sold in September, 1890, at 100 per cent premium, yield
ing to the treasury $3,000,000 in cash. Thus $1,500,000 of the
surplus of the company February 1, 1891 ($6,022,533), is repre
sented by premium received from the sale of common stock;
the balance by accrued surplus earnings of the company.
The surplus net earnings for the fiscal year just closed, after
deducting $1,236,366 paid during the year as dividends on

The annual report of Mr. G. J. Ives, President, remarks
that 1891 was a good year. Large crops of all kinds were
grown along the lines of the railway, which were moved at
fair rates. That the expense of operation has not increased
in like proportion demonstrates what has been often claimed,
that the large proportion of the operating expenses was
fixed, and cannot be materially reduced without injury to the
property, but a large additional amount of business can be
done at a small additional cost for operating expenses, as the
increase of $582,356 in gross earnings was gained at an ex
pense of only $125,808, or 21*6 per cent. The per cent of
operating expenses for the year was reduced from 75'29 to
67*25 per cent.
There has been added to the equipment during the
year 10 locomotives, 500 box cars, 20 furniture cars, 20
flat cars, 3 coaches, 3 combined baggage and passenger cars,
2 baggage cars and 11 way cars, which, including freight and
fixtures on same, have cost $391,596. The outlook for the
first half of the present year is good. The earnings for Jan
uary and February have exceeded the earning3 for those
months last year $150,722.

the yea r en din g D ec. 31, 1891.^
The annual report for 1891 says the disproportionate increase
in operating expenses as compared with the increase in gross
eamiDgs is due to large expenditures upon the property, the
increase in the three items of repairs of roadway and track,
renewals of rail and cross-ties alone amounting to $35,000
more than last year. There has been charged to construction
account during the year $12,065 and to equipment account
$80,907.
Upon the Chicago & North Michigan extension work is
rogressing as rapidly as is consistent with good construction.
he equipment has been increased during the year by the ad
dition of 2 locomotives, 100 box cars and 20 stock cars, but
further additions are necessary to provide for the business
offering.
Of bonded debt $543,000 five per cent mortgage bonds of the
company were issued during the year, and the proceeds used
towards retiring Grand Rapids Newaygo & Lake Shore R. R.
Co. first mortgage eight per cent bonds due July 1, 1891, and
for construction and equipment expenditures. The total issue
o f the five per cent bonds to Dec. 31, 1891, was $5,188,000, or
$10,775 per mile, the authorized limit being $12,000 per mile.

31, 1891. J
The annual report of President Roberts remarks that in
■comparison with the year 1890 there was an increase in gross
earnings of $24,344 and an increase in expenses of $75,060,
resulting in a decrease of net earnings of $50,715, or 10 31-100
per cent.
During the year the Alloway & Quinton Railroad, extend
ing from Alloway Junction, on the Salem line, to Quinton, a
distance of 4 % miles, was completed and put in use, and it is
expected that the tiaffic from it will fully justify its con
struction. The roadway, tracks, bridges and buildings of
the company have been materially improved and are in ex
cellent condition. To the equipment of the road the follow
ing additions have been made : five passenger cars, two bag
gage and two cabin cars and thirteen maintenance-of-way
cars.
Comparative statistics for four years, compiled for the

GENERAL INVESTMENT NEW S.
Atchison Topeka & Santa Pe.—Mr. J. W . Reinhart, VicePresident of the Atchison, is quoted as saying: “ The Atchi
son Company is in thoroughly first-class condition. It has in
its treasury more securities than were shown June 30 last in
the annual report of 1891. It has sold none of its securities
in two years, except $2,500,000 equipment bonds, the annual
interest and sinking funds of which amount to $375,000 for
the first year from January, 1892, and decreasing thereafter.
These charges, of which but one-half, or $187,500, will apply
to the current fiscal year’s income, are expected to be more
than offset by increases in results from coal and other prop
erties in miscellaneous earnings, aside from the use of the
new equipment. The company has not sold, and has made no
effort to sell, any other equipment bonds. It has financed
successfully the St. Louis & San Francisco Railway Company,
and there is no large railway system of this country iit better
financial or physical condition. Statements to the contrary
are manufactured and should not be noticed by honorable
people.”
Baltimore & Ohio.—This stock has been listed in London
this week in accordance with the understanding reached when
a syndicate took $5,000,000 of the new issue. The board of
directors, it is reported, will next week declare a cash divi
dend, payable in May. As the fiscal year of the company
will end with June 30 hereafter, instead of September 30, the
first dividend will be for the three months from October 1 to
December 31.
Chesapeake & Ohio.—On another page will be found an
abstract of the new general mortgage for $70,000,000. The
bonds under this mortgage bear 43*2 per cent and do not ma
ture till March 1 1922, and during that hundred years the
terms of ihe mortgage may be referred to in the volumes of
the Chronicle .
The bonds have just been placed on the Stock Exchange list
and the application to have them listed contains some infor
mation additional to that given in the mortgage. It is stated
that pursuant to the provisions of the mortgage, the com
pany has further acquired—
9,670 shares (100 each) o f the capital stock (out o f a total o f 9,940
shares) and an assignment o f all construction obligations o f the Ohio
& B ig Sandy Railroad Company, a line o f standard gauge railw ay ex
tending from Ashland, K y., to Richardson, K y., a distance o f 50 miles.
There is no m ortgage debt on this property, and by the assignment o f
all other indebtedness and the shares o f stock as above, the entire title
is practically vested in the Trustees o f the Chesapeake & Ohio m ort
gage, ex cep t as to the 270 shares o f stock outstanding. I t is estimated
that this p roperty represents a total expenditure fo r construction and
equipm ent o f about $1,800,000 cash. It connects the old Chesapeake
& Onio line w ith its Cincinnati division, and also reaches coal o f ex
ceptional quality and nearer to Cincinnati than any other coal on the
Chesapeake & Ohio system The grades o f the Ohio & Big Sandy are
in fa vor o f such traffic, and it is thought that this business can be de
veloped w ith advantage to the Chesapeake & Ohio.
1,500 shares o f the capital stock and $110,000 bonds (being all the
stock and bonds) o f the K entucky & South A tlantic Railroad Company,
a narrow-gauge line extending from M ount Sterling, K y.. to near
Frenchburg, K y., a distance o f about 19 m iles
$249,574 equipm ent notes (secured b y 6 engines and 345 cars), and
various other obligations o f the Elizabethtow n Lexington & Big Sandy
Railroad, a standard gauge railway, extending from a connection with
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railw ay Company near Catlettsburg, K y., to
L exington, K y., about 130 m iles, o f w hich 21 m iles are leased.
The mortgage has a first lien by way of collateral trust on
all the stocks, bonds, equipment notes and other obligations
above described, all of which have been delivered to the
Trustee, as provided in the mortgage. Purchase of same has
been made by $2,046,000 of the new bonds.
The Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company has further ar
ranged to acquire (in exchange for an agreed amount of its
own stock) nearly all the stock of the Elizabethtown Lexing
ton & Big Sandy Railroad Company. Some of the Elizabeth
town Lexington & Big Sandy first mortgage bondholders
have refused to accept the terms of exchange, but the Chesa
peake & Ohio Railway Company expects, in due course, to
bring about a reorganization of the Elizabethtown Lexington
& Big Sandy property, as fully provided in the Chesapeake &
Ohio mortgage, and to subject all its interests therein to the
lien of its said mortgage.
In addition to the above $2,046,000 bonds there have already
been sold $4,000,000 bonds, and on account of such sale there
have been issued—
$1,500,000 bonds for the general purposes of the com pany.
$2 ,000,000 bonds, o f w hich the proceeds have been set aside fo r the
acquisition o f new property and new construction, as provided in the
m ortgage.
It is further proposed to use, as already stated—
$12,667,000 bonds fo r the conversion o f the V otin g Trustees’ Certif
icates fo r shares o f the preferred Stocks o f the com pany at the rate
............................
of—
2
$ 6 6 23 bonds and $3 313 com m on stock fo r each share o f first p ref
erence stock ; $3 3 13 bonds and $8623 com m on stock for each share
o f second preference stock.
The Chesapeake & Ohio preference stocks are being rapidly
exchanged for the new 4 % per cent bonds at the office of
Messrs. Drexel, Morgan & Co., over half of them having
been converted in the week since the work o f exchange began.

Delaware & Hudson.—There are reports of a contest at the
coming election, some of the parties connected with the man

bilt interests in the Board. The precise facts have not been
ascertained, but President Olyphant, o f the Delaware &
Hudson, issued the following circular to stockholders :
To the Stockholders o f the Delaware & Hudson Canal Com pany:

Evansville & Richmond.—The Secretary gives notice that
owing to an error in regard to the name of terminals, as printed
in the divisional mortgage bonds of the Evansville & Rich
mond Railroad, of which $600,000 have been sold, it has been
deemed for the best interest of these bondholders to call iD
these $600,000 of bonds, to exchange them for the new first
general mortgage bonds now being’ sold by Messrs. Harvey
Fisk & Sons. These bonds are issued at the same rate per mile,
and will be exchanged for divisional bonds, dollar for dollar,
by the Farmers’ Loan & Trust Company, on presentation.
—Messrs. Harvey Fisk & Sons, No. 28 Nassau street, are
offering the first general mortgage 5 per cent gold bonds of
this company, due 1931, with the guaranty (by endorsement
on each bond) of the Evansville & Terre Haute Railroad
Company, and have just advanced the price. The
surplus net income of this road above gallj fixed charges
they estimate for the fiscal year ending June 30 1892 as $450,000, against $341,417 in 1890-91, $291,979 in 1889-90, and $372,031 in 1888-89 Dividends paid amount to $180,000 the cur
rent year, against $165,000 last year and $150,000 in 1889-90.
Indianapolis Decatur & Western.—Engraved certificates
listed by the New York Stock Exchange may now be obtained
from the Metropolitan Trust Co. Bondholders may deposit
their securities under the plan up to April 30, after which a
penalty of 6 per cent will be imposed.
Monterey & Mexican Gulf.—A Mexican banking firm hold
ing claims to the amount of $20,485 against this company
have sought to enforce payment through the courts in this
city, and on their application Judge Truax appointed a re
ceiver. As the property is all in Mexico the company is not
much disturbed by this action. Mr. V. A. Wilder, the Treas
urer, said that the road was only completed last month and it
is now doing a business of $100,000 a month. The money thus
far raised has been used in paying for the equipment and con
struction of the road. The floating debt of $360,000 will soon
be paid. Within a month a loan of $2,500,000 has been floated
in Brussels and as soon as the money reaches here the debts
will be paid.

Ohio Southern.—Mr. W . Sully states that nothing has been
done towards extending this road, and the present manage

its balance sheet at the close of 1891 was $500,062, and the
statement for several years has been as follows:

Oregon Improvement Co.—In the
the earnings of this company from
months, were given in the table of net earnings as from July
1 to March 1, and the statement is corrected and reprinted
this week that no reader of the C h r o n i c l e may be misled by
643
it. The error was rather palpable, however, to any person
following the company’s earnings, and particularly as the last
previous statement was reported in the C h r o n i c l e o f March
12, and again on the 19th.
The following is the official statement of earnings by months:

The above statement shows a slight decrease, as compared
with the corresponding three months of 1890-91, but a con
siderable increase compared with figures of 1889-90. The fall
ing off in the net earnings for February was occasioned by a
glut of foreign coal in San Francisco, which restricted the
output from the company’s mines near Seattle, and also bv
unusual repairs on the steam collier “ Willamette.”
Philadelphia & Reading.-— In the Arnot case full an
swers have been filed by the Reading and other companies.
The defense to the suit of the Attorney General of Pennsyl
vania will probably be nearly the same. The answer is'in
substance—
First—That the lease of the Jersey Central by thePort Reading is an affair of two corporations outside the State
in neither of which is the Reading a stockholder.
Second—That the Reading and Lehigh Valley are not paral
lel and competing lines within the meaning of the Constitution..
Third—That the charters of the two last-named companies
antedate the new Constitution and give them the leasingpower.
Fourth—That the Legislature has failed to carry into effect
by proper legislation the restrictions against parallel roads;
combining.
Richmond & West P oin t Terminal.—The deposit of securi
ties with the Central Trust Company was very heavy during the
few days preceding the 14th inst., and many of the large
holders were among those depositing.
The Reorganization Committee applied to the Stock Ex
change Governors to list the Central Trust Company’s receipts,
for the first and second preferred stock, the common stock the.
five per ¡cent consol, gold bonds, and the improvement and
equipment five per cent bonds of the East Tenn. Va. & Ga.
Railroad Company. The Richmond Terminal Company owns
the following East Tennessee securities: $3,783,209 first pre
ferred stock, $6,536,000 second preferred stock and $5,800,000
common stock.
The T im es says: “ The presence in the citv o f H. M,
Comer, President of the Georgia Central Railroad,“gave rise ta
the report that negotiations were in progress looking to the
exchange of the 40,000 shares of the Georgia Central stock
held by the Richmond Terminal Company for $7,500,000 of the
terminal five per cent bonds held by the railroad company.
Such a proposition has been under discussion, it is true, but
nothing has yet been accomplished.”
The reorganization plan prepared by the Olcott Committee
has been indorsed by a majority interest of the common and
preferred stock and the 5 per cent collateral trust bonds. The
time originally set for the deposit of securities under thé plan
expired on Thursday the 14th, and at the close of business that
day Secretary Ellis, of the reorganization committee made
the following statement:
Of the common stock, out of $70,000,000, $47,200,000 have
been deposited; of the preferred stock, $3,000,000 out o f
$5,000,000; of the 6 per cent collateral trust bonds, $1,300000 out of $5,500,000; of the 5 per cent collateral trust bonds.
$7,020,000 out of $10,679,000; making a total of $58,520,000 se
curities out of $91,179,000.
The deposits of East Tennessee Virginia & Georgia stock,
added to the Terminal Company’s holdings, have been suffi
cient to give the control of a majority.
It is also stated that large amounts of the underlying secu
rities have been deposited under the terms of the plan, though
no figures have been given out.
The committee decided to extend the time for the deposit o f
securities until next Tuesday, the 19th, at 3 P. M., without
penalty.
‘ The right of subscription to the cash fund offered under
the plan to the depositaries .of stock and 5 per cent bonds
will b eextended to such date as may be advertised by the
committee after April 19, 1892.
The Security Corporation—National Cordage Co.—The
Security Corporation, organized under the laws of the State
of New Jersey, with full powers, has purchased a number of
cordage and binder twine plants, mills and propertv, and ha»
leased the same to the National Cordage Company for a terni
of twenty years from November first, 1891.
It has issued in payment for said properties $6,000,000 of 6
per cent first mortgage consolidated gold bonds due Nov. 1,
1911. secured by a mortgage or deed of trust to the Manhat
tan Trust Company, as trustee, covering the properties and all
the benefits derived from the lease of the same to the National
Cordage Company.
These bonds have been listed this week on the New Y o rk
Stock Exchange, and on a following page is given the applica
tion, which describes the several properties acquired,‘ provi
sions of the lease, and other facts of importance. Of the au
thorized issue of $6 ,000,000 there are reserved $1,790,000 to.
provide for prior lions; the remainder, $4 ,210 ,000 , is the*
amount listed on the Stock Exchange.

in case default shall be made by the railway company in the
payment of any tax or assessment lawfully levied, and such
default shall continue for the period of s ix months after writ
ten notice from the Trustees or from any holder of bonds se
cured hereby, that such tax or assessment has become due and
payable; or in case the company shall make default in the
due observance and performance of any of its covenants, prom
ises and agreements herein contained, and either of such de
faults continues for the period of s ix months after written
notice from the Trustees, or any holder of bonds secured
hereby; then it shall be lawful for said Trustees personally, or
by their agents, to enter into and upon the property, and to
exclude the said Railway Company, its agents and servants
wholly therefrom, and to use and operate, manage and con
trol said railway for the interests of the holders of the bonds

vided, however, that if at any time after the principal o f the
said bonds has been so declared due and payable the Railway
Company shall pay all arrears of interest, or said arrears shall
be collected out of the mortgaged property, then the holders
of fifty per cent in amount of the bonds may waive the de
fault in so far as such default by the action of said fifty per
cent in amount of the bondholders has caused the said bonds
to become due and payable ; but no such action shall extend
to or be taken to affect any subsequent defaults.

COMMERCIAL
EPITOME.
F r i d a y N i g h t , A p r i l 15, 1892.
To-day is Good Friday, and business on the great Exchanges
is wholly suspended. The weather has been quite wintry in
northern latitudes, and some snow has fallen, but inland nav
igation has been so far resumed that one hundred grain-laden
vessels left Chicago early in the week. The speculation in
cotton has shown renewed activity, with some further ad
vance in prices. The export movement in breadstuffs has
been curtailed by deficient supplies, and grain has been taken
for Liverpool at a penny a bushel. Destructive overflows o f
local streams have occurred in parts of the South. Besides
damage to property many lives were lost. The religious hoi"
idays have an unfavorable effect upon regular trade, but these
past, better weather may be expected to bring a fair degree of
activity.
Lard on the spot has been rather quiet and prices at the close
show some depression at 5*95<®6c. for prime City, 6,50@6,55c for
prime Western and 6#
673^@ 6*873^0. for refined for the Conti
nent. The speculation in lard for future delivery was not ac
tive at any time, but fluctuated to some extent with prices in
the corn market. Yesterday business was dull and the close
slightly easier, after some business at pretty full prices.

turn to the European markets. The close was barely steady,

Monday of this week. The “ b u ll” movement mentioned in
our last continued with much vigor, inducing purchasers to
cover short contracts as well as for the rise. The advance was
favored by a smaller crop movement, destructive floods in the
Eastern Gulf States and more favorable reports from L iver
pool and Manchester. On Tuesday part of the advance was
lost. There was the natural reaction under selling to realize,
following a pretty smart advance, and operators for the fall
made a severe attack upon the market, believing that there
had been no legitimate basis for the advance. Besides, the
spot market did not show a needed activity. But
those operating
for
higher prices developed nerve
and vigor to which they had long been strangers.
On Wednesday there was a very buoyant opening on a much
stronger report from Liverpool, instead of the decline that had
been expected, and the speculation was quite excited during
the opening hour; but an unsettled feeling was developed and
the close was at some decline from best prices. Yesterday
(Thursday) an early decline was followed by a sharp advance
on a demand to cover contracts. It was understood that one
or two leading operators had covered their short contracts,
Then came renewed weakness, and again a show of strength
in the latest dealings. Cotton on the spot was marked up
3-16c. on Saturday and l-16c. on Monday, and % c . on W ed
nesday. The demand was not urgent, but offerings were very
small. Yesterday (Thursday) the market was dull a t7 ^ c. for
middling uplands.
The Cotton Exchange adjourned last
evening to Monday morning.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 715,700
bales. For immediate delivery the total sales foot up this week
360 bales, including — for export, 360 for consumption,
— for speculation, and — in transit. Of the above — bales
were to arrive. The following are the official quotations for
each day o f the past week—April 9 to April 15.

The buoyancy and activity in the markets for wheat flour
noted last week culminated on Saturday, and on Monday a
part o f the improvement in values was lost. Bids were re
duced 10c. per bbl., with buyers showing no great anxiety
to go on, even at the reduced figures. The change was due
to a sharp decline in wheat on Monday, causing a very un
settled feeling. On Wednesday there was a firmer tone, yet
values remained a good deal unsettled. Yesterday the mar
ket was dull, and bids were materially reduced, making ohr
quotations w holly nominal,
The wheat market quite broke down on Monday, under un
favorable cable advices and speculative manipulation in the
interest of operators for lower prices at the West. There was
a further decline on Tuesday, but renewed buoyancy on
Wednesday, owing to the resumption of free buying for ex _
port, shippers taking 144,000 bush., including No. 2 red win
ter at 8c. over the price .of May contracts, No. 2 Chicago at
2@2J£e. over May and No. 2 Northern spring at the prifce for
May. Bad weather for seeding in the Northwest was an ele
ment of strength, snow having fallen. Yesterday there was
a sharp decline under weak cable advices, but the lower spot
prices led to a large export business. Shippers took 272,000
bush., and the local millers bought 100,000 bush, to arrive in
May.

The averages o f these six is

In the States from Delaw are to N orth

east o f the Mississippi, and som ewhat low er w est o f that river. On
the P acific Coast the condition is high. The seeding was generally

^ T h e plant was therefore generally smaU w hen the w inter set in, and
apparently o f weak vitality, the condition in D ecem ber averaging 8 5 ’3.
The present return is a reduction o f 4*1 points. W inter protection b y
snow was quite general in New Y ork from January till late in March.
In Pennsylvani t the coverin g w as less continuous or general, but was
enjoyed when m ost needed. In M ichigan there w as a fa ir degree o f
protection, especially in the severest weather. In Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois the snow coverin g was not continuous or hea v y in som e
places it was very light ana partial and in others better than fo r years.
In M issouri and Kansas there was still less snow , bu t th«re was some,
protection at the time o f the M arch freezes. It is quite un iform ly report-'
a l that the winter was n ot very severe, and was m m any sections mild.
W inter-killing was exception al or lim ited to flat and w et areas. Some
correspondents note the lu m p / condition o f the soil as m odifyin g the
injury b y freezing. M any correspondents report the crop im proving
in appearance at the date o f the report, and indicate a probability o f
further im provem ent w ith favorable A pril weather. The fa ct that low
oo idition is less the result o f w inter-killing than o f late germ ination
and slow autumn developm ent, renders m aterial recu peration possible
under fa vorin g m eteorological conditions.

* From New England m ill points direct.
The value o f the New York exports since January 1 have
been $3,722,288 in 1892 against $8,712,872 in 1891.
Business in staple cottons has been slow. For brown sheet
ings and drills there is a quiet export demand, but jobbers
and converters have operated spariagly. Prices are not
quotably changed, but rule irregular. Bleached shirtings
also quiet and irregular.
W ide sheetings, flat-fold
cambrics, silesias and colored cottons generally steady.
Moderate orders have been placed for cotton flannels, prices
o f which are still withheld by agents. White goods are
inactive throughout and difficult to sell. Business in prints
and ginghams is slow at first hands and confined to agents
clearing up odds and ends of regular lines, with a small
business in fresh specialties. In jobbing circles regular
business has ruled indifferent, but fair saUs were made in
“ jobs” in fine dress and other gingham styles. Print cloths
are inactive without change in price from 3 l-16c. for 64x64s,
but the strike referred to above is generally regarded as a
weakening influence.

Kansas City’s Bonds.—The citizens of Kansas City decided
by a large majority at an election on April 5th to issue $3,000,000 of 4% per cent gold water bonds. On April 9th a suit was
instituted by a local banker to enjoin the city from issuing
the bonds and to annul all the proceedings which have been
taken in the matter. The recent vote is attacked because no
proclamation was ever issued for the special session of the
Common Council at which the ordinance calling the election
was introduced and passed. It is further held that under the
laws of Missouri such bonds can only be voted at a special
■election, while this vote was taken at a general election. Still
another objection is that a former issue of $2,000,000 still re
mains uncanceled, so that the new issue would increase the
city’s debt beyond the legal limit.
V irginia.—The Virginia Debt Bondholders’ Committee give
notice that securities will not be received after April 30 1893

tee of Distribution will take action after the books of the com
mittee are closed, in accordance with the terms of the plan
and proposition of November 28 1890.

SUMMER TOURS OVER THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD AND WHAT THEY COST.
N o r th e r n P a c if ic R a il r o a d . —
The “ Great N orthw est 1 Thus is
”
the territory ly in g betw een the Great Lakes and P acific Coast com m only
designated. The prosperity and developm ent o i the Northwestern
States has been analogous to the prosperity and developm ent o f the
N orthern P acific Railroad. W ithin the space o f eight years the m ileage
o f this road has been doubled, and, including the W isconsin Central
lines, n o w a p ortion o f the N orthern P acific system under lease, a m ag
nificent total o f 5,172 m iles is reached. A ll the m ost Im portant sec
tions o f the N orthwest are penetrated b y its m ain and branch lines,
and so rapid has been the grow th o f the territory through w hich it
passes that tw o through trains are n ow required betw een its eastern
an d w estern term inals fo r the care o f its passenger traffic.
T r a in Se r v ic e an d E quipm ent .—It is perhaps in the excellen ce o f
its train service and equipm ent that the N orthern P acific R ailroad is
m ost fa vorab ly know n to the public at the present time. It has w ell
earned the title o f “ The Dining-Car L in e ;” its Pullm an service is u n ex
celled ; first and second-class coaches are run on all express trains,
while settlers and holders o f second-class tickets are accom m odated in
the Free Colonist sleepers and Pullm an Tourist sleeping cars, w hich
are new , com fortable and neat. Tw o trains are run daily from St. Paul
and M inneapolis to M ontana and P acific Coast Points, w hich carry
through sleeping-ears from Chicago o v e r both the W isconsin Central
lin e and the C. M. & St. P. Ry.
T he L a k e P a r k R egion o f M innesota .—It is n ot un til the tourist
has passed through St. Paul and M inneapolis, the “ gatew ays” to the
Northwest, and traveled a hundred m iles or so westward, that the
« Lake Park R egion o f M innesota” is reached. Here are lakes that
have not and can n o t be “ fished to death,” where pike, pickerel, bass
and m uscallonge abound. In the fa ll this region is a fam ous hunting
ground fo r winged game. V ery good h otel accom m odations are found
at G lenw ood, Fergus Falls and D etroit, and during the summ er m onths
lo w excursion rates are in effect to these points. North and east o f the
Park R egion is Bituated the forest land o f M innesota, where excellen t
sport is afforded hunters o f deer, m oose, and other large game. In
eastern M innesota there are several good trou t streams.
T h e W h e a t F ields o f D a k o t a .—Traveling w estw ard from the park
region, N orth D akota is soon entered, the scene o f farm ing on a large
scale. F or hours after leaving Fargo, on the eastern borders o f the
State, the train passes through the im m ense w heat fields that have
gained fo r N orih Dakota a w orld-w ide reputation. The Dalrym ple farm
alone contains over 50,000 acres, and a person cannot help being im
pressed by the large territory it covers, and the am ount o f labor re.
quired to cultivate it. In central Dakota, Jam estow n is reached, then
B ism arck ; n ex t the M issouri R iver is crossed by means o f the m agnifi
cent iron bridge erected b y the railroad com pany, and the train enters
Mandan.
M ontana : H unting and F ishing .—Several hours after leaving Mandan the train passes Dickinson, thence through the strange land know n
as “ P yram id P ark,” and soon it is in the centre o f the stock-raising
d istrict, w h ich extends far into Central M ontana. A fte r passing into
the M ontana boundary the ground gradually becom es broken; soon
the Y ellow ston e R iver is reached, and the train follow s its course fo r a
considerable distance. Here the fisherman will wish to stop, and in the
Y ellow ston e and neighboring streams—the M adison, Jefferson, Gallatin
and U pper Missouri rivers—he w ill find plenty o f R ocky Mountain trout
and grayling,
A t Livingston the m ountains that have been seen on either side are
brough t close to sight. To the south a pass opens the w ay to Y ellow
stone Park. The Snowy, Belt and Crazy m ountains are famous hunt
in g grounds and abound in grizzly and black bear, elk, m ountain sheep
a n d deer, w hich can be obtained within reasonable distance o f L iving
ston.
Y ellow stone N atio na l P a r k .—The train leaves Livingston fo r the
P ark early in the m orning. A delightful ride is had along the vallej o f
the Y ellow stone. A t Cinnabar a change is m ade from the train to the
com fortable stages o f the Y ellow ston e Park A ssociation, which takes
the passenger in an hour’ s ride to the M am moth H ot Springs Hotel,
w hich is a very handsom e structure, though on ly one o f the m an y ex
cellent hotels provided fo r the com fort o f tourists at prin cipal places o f
interest. The pink terrace form ations o f the M ammoth H ot Springs
are v ery remarkable. A t Norris Geyser Basin and at U pper and Low er
Geyser Basins are fou nd the geysers. They are the largest in the
w orld, w onderful and bea u tifu l; but the greatest feature o f in teiest in
the Park is the Grand Canyon and Falls o f the Y ellow stone. This canyon
has been described by Rev. T. D e W itt Talm age as “ the peroration o f all
m ajesty and grandeur.” The outlines and colorings o f its w alls are
indescribable. A visit to Y ellow ston e Lake is also fu ll o f interest, and
m any delight in a ride b y horseback over Mt. Washburn, the loftiest
p eak in the Park.
H ele na , L a k e P end d ’ Or e il l e . - A fter regaining the main line and
proceeding westward, Bozem an is soon reached and then Helena.
H ere is located the H otel B roadwater, the finest structure o f the kind
in the State. Situated near the hotel is the natatorium , 300 feet long
b y 180 feet w ide, the w ater fo r which, 1,000,000 gallons daily, com es
from the h ot springs in the vicin ity. F or iheum atism and kindred
com plaints these h ot springs are especially beneficial. Visits should be
m ade to Butte, the greatest m ining cam p on earth, and to A naconda,
where are located the great smelters.
W estward from Helena the tourist passes through the grandest scen
ery o f the Rockies. F or m iles the train follow s the course o f “ Clark’ s
F ork o f the Columbia,” and in Idaho it skirts fo r 25 m iles the north
shore o f Lake Pend d’Oreille. A m ore beautiful sheet o f w ater than
thin does n ot exist. A t H ope a sm all hotel is located, where tourists
can find fa ir accom m odations. G ood fishing is obtained in the lake and
neighboring streams, and the m ountains that are fou nd in every direo*
tion from this p oint afford all varieties o f large game.
Colu m bia R iv e r and Cascade M ountains .—A fter leaving Idaho
Spokane soon appears in sight. This, a city o f 25,000 people, situated
in the centre o f a rem arkably rich country, is the m etropolis o f eastern
W ashington. F rom Spokane the train proceeds to P asco, where it
crosses the Columbia R iver. A t this p oint the river is rather an unin
teresting stream, but further dow n, from the Dalles to Its ju n ction with
the W illamette, the scenery is unrivalled. When the passenger reaches
Portland, a side trip, taking a day’ s tim e, w ill enable him to see the
m ost beautiful portions o f the river, w h ich p rob ably affords the grand
est scenery o f the kind in the w orld. Crossing the Columbia, ascent is
made through the fertile Kittitas and Y akim a valleys to the Cascade
Mountains. This range is pieroed b y the Stampede Tunnel, w ith on e
exception the longest in the U nited States. A fter entering the east
p ortal the train soon begins its descent to the tidew aters o f the Pacific,
passing through the m agnificent forests coverin g the western slope o f
the Cascade R ange and the wonderful hop-fields of w estern W ashington
until it reaches Tacom a, at the head o f P uget Sound.
T acoma and P o rtland .—Tacoma, w ith Seattle a few m iles farther
north and opokane in the eastern part o f the State, com pletes the trio
o f the three m ost w onderful cities o f Washington. T acom a and Seattle
are the larger. They are beautifully situated, w ith m any handsom e
business blocks and residences. F rom T acom a the best view is ob
tained o f the m ountain o f that name. One n ever tires look in g at its
splendid heights and m ajestlo proportions. I t is one o f the highest
peaks in N orth Am erica. Certainly none more beautiful exists.
The train does n ot stop at Tacoma, b u t proceeds to P ortland, the
oldest o f the large tow ns o f the far Northwest. F ifty thousand are the
number o f her Inhabitants, and. situated in the fa ir W illamette V alley,
w ith Mt. H ood in the distance and the Colum bia R iver but a few m iles
below , she is v ery lovely in all her prosperity.
P uget Sound and A la sk a .—R eturning to Tacom a, the passenger
can board one o f the Alaska steamers, w hich takes him ov er the blue
waters o f the P uget Sound. The banks are abrupt and cov ered with a
heavy growth o f timber. H e sees in the east the lo fty peaks o f the
Cascade Range, and in the w est are the bold outlines o f the Olympio
M ountains. The boat stops at Seattle, P ort Tow nsend and V ictoria,
the last-nam ed city being in Canadian territory. Far to the north,
through the inlai d passage, 1he steamers find their w ay to the Ameri
can possessions in Alaska. This is a trip unlike all others; a sea v o y
age without the discom forts o f seasickness. There is nothing m ore
grand than the m agnificent channels o f the inland passage; nothing
m ore w ild or beautiful than the im mense glaciers o f this region; and
there is nothing m ore curious than the tow ns that are visited, with
their native huts and inhabitants. The w hole trip occupies less than
three weeks. The steam er “ Q ueen” m akes the trip in tw elve days.
A ll o f the boats in this service are new ly built and neatly furnished.
Ca l if o r n ia : T he Sh asta R ou te .—California is reached from Tacom a
and Portland over the Shasta Route. The train passes through the
W illam ette V alley, over the Siskiyou Range, b y the fo o t o f Mt. Shasta,
and dow n the Sacramento Valley to San Francisco. This w on derfu l
State has every variety o f clim ate. The beautiful cities o f Los Angeles
and San Diego are situated in the fruit region, w here oranges, pears,
peaches, grapes and fruits o f other kinds are grown to perfection. No
tourist to the P acific Coast should fail to visit California, and no visitor
to C alifornia should fail to take passage one or both w ays ov er the
Northern P acific R ailroad, through the rem arkable country o f the
“ Great Northwest.” !
