'Interest on Oregon Short Une income
As the common stock outstanding on
June 30 was a little less than $109,000,000
It would appear that the surplus Is equiv
alent to about 6.3 per cent on Union Pa
cific stock outstanding, making total earn
ings for the year 10.3 per cent. Assuming
all the convertible bonds to be turned into
common stock, thus ranking for dividend
there would be a saving of J4.000.000 In
fixed charges, which would make the sur
plus available for dividends on $200,000,000
common stock, $15,294,578, or 7.6 per cent.
Increase in Mileage.
The mileage In operation at the end of
the year was 6104, an increase of 175 miles
over laBt year. The largest part, of this
Increase was the line from Salt Lake City
to Leamington, Utah, 116 miles. A line
was built in the Snake River "Valley from
"Wallula to Grange City, Wash., 65 miles
long. From the surplus Income of the
year there was appropriated $2,000,000, of
-which $1,000,000 -was for betterments made
during the year, $500,000 for restoration of
property destroyed by floods, and $500,000
as reserve for future betterments.
There were issued $4,695,000 Union Pacific
common stock during the year in exchange
tor convertible bonds, and $18,000 Union
Pacific preferred stock In exchange for
Oregon Short Line B bonds. There were
Issued of bonds $36,000,000 Oregon Short
Line participating 4s, (being part of a
total issue of $82,491,000 of these bonds),
and $128,000 Oregon Navigation 4s In ex
change for other bonds retired. There "was
a decrease of $4,954,000 other bonds, the
bulk of -which Is represented by convert
ible 4s exchanged.
On July 17, 1902, the Oregon Short Lino
Company Issued $S2,491,O00 4 per cent par
ticipating bonds, pledging on equal
amount of Northern Securities stock
therefor. These bonds were, sold to the
Union Pacific at 90 to retire Indebted
ness of the Short Line to the Union Pa
cific. Of this amount $31,000,000 were sold
hy Union Pacific to its stockholders In
July, 1902, and '$5,000,000 were subsequent
ly sold. There remain In the Union Pa
cific treasury $46,491,000 of these bonds as
a free asset. As dividends received on
Northern Securities stock are 4 per cent
for the year, bondholders -will receive In
February an additional of 1 per cent
over and above the regular coupon of 2
per cent.

Floating Debt Cleared Away.
The Union Pacific Company has cleared
off the floating debt outstanding at the
beginning of the j-ear 1902-3 by the sale
of Short Line participating 4s. It has,
however, borrowed something over $14,
000.000 during the fiscal year and has ad
vanced to the Southern Pacific Company
$15,396,119 as a loan payable on demand.
Of this amount, $1,146,119 was taken from
the surplus funds of Union Pacific The
work In hand on the lines of the Southern
Pacific Company will be finished before
the end of the current fiscal year and will
result in a satisfactory saving in the cost
of operation.
Since the close of the last fiscal year,
"Union Pacific has sold $10,000,000 of its 5
jjer cent collateral notes, maturing Feb
ruary 1, 1903. The greater part of this
amount was loaned to the Southern Pa
cific Company and the balance was -used
to repay tho Union Pacific for outlays
on auxiliary and 'allied companies, for
new construction, two steamships and
equipment.

ions of the mortgage for $11,303,664. In this
statement there are not lncludedvexpenses
for construction of new lines and equip
ment amounting to $11,873,842, which Is
due from auxiliary companies for capital
expenditures thereon.

came from unsettled labor conditions, an
advance In the cost of material and sup

Chief Joseph, Formerly of Wallowa,
Was at Seattle.
Seattle News Letter.
Chief Joseph, of the Nez Perces In
dians, -was in the city for several days
last week and this -week, and the news
paper reporters have had lots of fun with
him. Chief Joseph was undoubtedly In
his time one of the greatest- Indian gen
erals that ever competed -with the United
States army, but he is not the high
minded gentleman that some historians
would have us believe. During his cam
paigns against the whites he and his men
assaulted -white women and killed babes
In arms.
Joseph was a good general; he Is also a
great brute. "With It all he is very foxy.
He comes to Seattle to tell about tho great
Indian wars in which he participated
so thought those who brought him here
but the burden -of his talk at the Seattle
theater was that he wanted to go homo
to the land of his fathers to die. But he
won't go. Tho Government officials at
Washington Jolly him along and tell him
that he shall soon return to the Wallowa
country, hut as a matter of fact they are
onto Joseph and he will likely stay Just
where he Is until he dies. Then If he can
arrange things he may -returnsto tho land
of his Fathers. N
Joseph wants to know -when the whlto

man will learn to tell the truth; the whlto
reporters would like to know the same
thing about Joseph. One afternoon he
told the reporters he could not write his
own name; two hours later at the Seattle
theater he was giving his autograph by
the dozens to admiring women, whose
ancestors he had butchered by the hun
dreds. Joseph says he can't talk English;
in fact can't even understand it. Harold
Griffith, one of the editorial writers of
the Post-Intelligencer, met Joseph when
the latter with Longstreet participated In
the services attending the unveiling of the
Grant memorial monument, In New York
City. Later In the day Griffith and tho
Chief bumped into each other la the Fifth
Avenue Hotel.
"Chief," said Griffith, "let's have a
drink." Tho Chief made for the bar-room
without saying a word. It -was hard for
Griffith to keep up with him. Once there
Griffith said: "Chief, what -will It be?"
The Chief continued silent. The bar
keeper placed a bottle of whisky and a
glass on the bar In front of Joseph. The
latter "filled the glass to the brim, and
aown -went the contents with one gulp.
Then the Chief hurried back to his seat
in the corridor of the hotel, probably
figuring that it was a good place to meet

"Don't tell me Joseph doesn't under
stand English," said Griffith to a cub re
porter who had tried In-vain to Interview
the Chief and Tiaving failed to get any
thing out of him but a grunt was en
deavoring to explain to Griffith that If
the Chief could only talk English he
-would have landed him for a fine interview.
WHAT M0HMSEN DID.
The Work Accomplished In Sixty
Tireless Years by Great Scholar.
London Athcneum.
Our age has loafc Its createst scholar,
full of years. Born In 1817, 13 years after
3fadvig, four years after Cobet, Theodor
Mommscn spanned the 19th Century with
his gigantic contribution to learning. His
life was slmplebut significant. A German
of Schleswlg-Holsteln, educated till his
27th year within the Duchy, the struggle
of Dane and German gave reality to his
German national feeling throughout! his
career. A student of law at Kiel. Uni
versity, a friend of Otto Jahn then con
cerned with the rising study of inscrip
tions he touched thus 'early the two sub
jects In which later his learning was most
triumphant. Three years of student travel
in Italy (1844-7) emphasized for him the
value of inscriptions and brought him
face to face -with Borghesl, projector him
self of a Corpus Inscriptlonum and great
est of living opigraphlsts. He began to
write abundantly, and was already known
as a scholar of extraordinary powers and
activity.
In 1848 he became professor of Roman
law at Lelpslc, but the February revolu
tion gave him other work. He helped the
Holstelners against the Danes; he took
the Liberal side in Internal German strug
gles, and In 1S50 he lost his professorship.
He learned what no English scholar
knows the real character of a revolu
tionary epoch. "Wandering about, first at
Zurich University, then at Breslau. he
nevertheless continued his work. In 1852
came bis first great eplgraphlc book, the
folio containing the "Inscriptions of the
Kingdom of Naples." In 1E54-6 the "Roman
History" followed, colored, perhaps, by
recent experiences. The want of a master
hand at that unhappy time perhaps sug
gested the apothesls of Caesar with which
the volumes close, and it may well be that
he then met some prototype of the un
stable orator Cicero. The success of the
-work was Immense; In less than ten years
-It had been translated Into most European
languages.
In 1858 he settled at Berlin, to marry and
live In a quiet suburb for nearly half a
century. Politics still had his attention.
He sat In the Landtag at Intervals till
1SS2, fiercely opposing Bismarck's domestic
policy, till a prosecution caused his retire
ment. " Occasionally he stepped into for
eign affairs criticising the French in 1870,
the Czechs in 1897, the English In 1900, In
each case earning Ill-will by vehement lan
guage. But he was a politician only be
cause he felt deeply. His real life was
that of the scholar on tho greatest scale.
He wrote, organized, made others write.
He created the great "Corpus Inscrip
tlonum Latlnnrum" that now stretches to
more than 20 stately folios; Tarly half he
compiled himself; the rest no less a hard
task he made others compile. He re
edlted the Digest and half a dozen other
"trifles." In 1871 he began to set the
Roman Constitution on a new basis by tho
first volume of his "Staatsrecht." In 1885
he described the Roman provinces In a
fifth volume of his history, largely based
on eplgraphlc evidence and possibly only
to the editor of the "Corpus." But he
never wrote the fourth volume. The inner
life of the Imperial Courts disgusted him,
and I believe he came to think, as he
grew older, that his time could best be
spent in preparing the materials texts.
Inscriptions, and tho rest for historical
judgment, rather than in character
sketches, of whatever brilliance.
But so late as 1899 he Issued a monu
mental work on Roman criminal law, and
up to the last he continued a rapid succes
sion of monographs small and large. All
the while he was organizing other re
search. The vast group of great collec
tions which tho Berlin Academy and other
German institutions are now editing the
"Monumenta Historlac Germanlae," and
many more owe much, some of them
everything, to his initiating energy and
organizing ability. Quite lately old age
had threatened to touch him, and the
illness of his wife made his days anxious.
But his eye -was not yet dim when the
death that he had been dreading for an
other came suddenly to himself.
He was a unique Intellect, remarkable
before all things for Its combination of
sensitive, excitable, Imaginative humanity
with accurate, methodical, unwearying
precision. Other men may have felt as
fiercely and have seen as far; others may
have attained as unerring control of do
tall and tireless acceptance of drudgery.
But In him alone, since Gibbon, the cre
ative and the critical elements fully met.
The result was. In the first place, an as
tonishing Intellectual vigor and an unpar
alleled output of work. Fifteen years ago
his publications had reached 1000 in num
ber, and If some of these were little things
others were folios that take serious lifting.
Ho worked at a pace with an accuracy
which leave the ordinary scholar gasping;
he bequeaths an Invaluable tradition of
devoted, persistent energy. But more, he
could organize. He could conceive a great
co-operative scheme, combining many la
borers In It, could aspire, drive or coerce
them to fulfill their tasks, and control the
minutiae of the undertaking to a safe
conclusion. Few scholars, I Imagine, have
shown such practical power and Impera
tive force.
And in virtue of these qualities he has
done a work which is difficult to -realize
for its very size. No one remembers what
the condition of Roman history was be
fore Mommsen. There were constitutional
writers before him, as there -will be others
after him. But the logical and legal in
tuition, the grasp and completeness of his
"Staatsrecht" mark a real epoch.
Gorman's Challenge.
The Independent.
Senator Gorman challenges the country
to make the question of social and po
litical equality the principal issue in the
coming campaign.
.Let him present It If he dares. That
"will lift politics out of the level of dis
cussions of mere financial benefits into
tho heights of moral duty. That Is a
subject on which people can have genu
ine enthusiasm, the question of equal
civil and political rights for all men.
With social questions politics has noth
ing to do. but it has much to do -with
political and civil rights. We can assure
Mr. Gorman that he will be met, and
met decisively. If he Is willing to go to
the country with the declaration that
men are not created free and equal, and
that they have not equal rights to lib
erty and tho pursuit of happiness. There
Is enough sense of Justice In the country
to allow every man all he can get In
equal and fair competition with other
men. x
