DEPRESSION HURT
0. P. BUT LITTLE
Lean Year Shows Net Loss to
Harriman Road of Less
Than $3000.
DIVIDENDS NEARLY SAME
Excellent Management, Coupled
With Good Judgment in Sale of
Securities, Enables Road to
rj 3Iake Good Report.
t Despite unfavorable business condl
, tlons during the past year, the report
of the Union Pacific Railroad Com-
pany. Just Issued, shows a remarkably
I small decrease in gross earnings for
' the fiscal year' ending June SO. De
1 crease in the gross for the 12 months
was only $269,373. Although net rev
; enues .show a loss of II. 814. 831. this
' was more than offset by an increase
f t4.T90.-KT.87 in Income from other
sources than transportation operations.
After the payment of dividends on pre
ferred stock this left the amount avail
able for dividends oh the common stock
equal to 1S.23 per cent, as compared
with 16.47 per cent at the close of the
previous year.
The complete report made by E. H.
Harriman to the stockholders has been
received here. It shows that the con
tinued business depression has been
met in splendid fashion by the prop
erty, it having been brought up to such
a splendid operating condition before
the financial stringency occurred that
it was in good shape to stand a lean
year.
Stood Depression Well.
Jlr. Harriman says that the effect
of the general business depression that
set in during the Fall of 1907, did not
reduce the gross earnings of the com
pany to an aggr-pate below that for
the corresponding months of the pre
ceding year until January, 1908. From
that time to the close of the fiscal year,
there was a decrease of $4.125.018. As
Pr. was an increase of $3.855. S45 in
the gross revenue during the first half
' ! i" year: there was an actual shrink
r.ki of" only 69.373. The Increase in
tiiw income from sources other than
from transportation operations amount
ed to J4.549.5tJ0. and resulted mainly
from the collection of a full year's divi
dend on the investment stocks held at
the close of last year, and on stocks
subsequently acquired under subscrip
tion rights, and from a full year's in
terest on $20,000,000 face value San
Pedro. Los Angeles & Salt Lake Rail
road Company 4 per cent bonds.
An interesting feature of the report
is the detailed progress of the sale and
distribution of the shares of the North
ern securities Company the Northern
Pacific Railway and the Great North
ern Railway, up to the- end of the
period under consideration. During
the year the 1'nion Pacific sold $9.
0T2.3H0 par value of Great Northern
preferred. $4,040,000 Northern Pacific
common, and $(590,000 subscription cer
tificates to Northern Pacific stock.
The total sales of these securities to
June 30. netted the company $l.",4.i.2.-
984. leaving profits over the original
Investment amounting to $45,586,783.
To this must b added the present
value of unsold securities in the treas
ury of the I nion Pacific, which would
bring about $14,000,000. making the
total net profits from the sale of these
securities about $60.0J0,000.
Revenue About the Same.
The income account of the company
for the year shows that the grossoper
atins revenue amounted to $74.422,m. as
compared with r4.6S6.152 In 1907. while
SI .616.443 must be added for outside oper
ating revenue, brincing the total revenue
to $76.039.22r; as compared with $76..10S.5?8
In 197. Operating expenses amounted to
S40.177.S1R. an Increase of $1,549,416 from
the previous year. Outside operating ex
penses showed a slight decrease, and
taxes an advance, bringing total ex
penses up to $44,183,761. Interest sinking
fund and hire of equipment charges
amounted to J1.200.7fir.. an Increase of $2.
824.470 from the previous year, making
i the balance available for dividends at the
close of the year $19,699,708. as against
J24.706.7SO. a decrease of $5,007,394.
The total surplus for the year amounted
to J12.188.7".l as against J10.6S7.8S3 at the
close of 1907, an Increase of $1,500,968. The
total surplus of the company from trans
portation and other income, after the
pavment of 4 per cent on the common
tock Is equivalent to an additional 8.23
per cent earned on the common stock
outstanding, which totals $195,487,000.
Profited by Sales.
During the year the Union Pacific sold
S2.350.O0O common stock of the St. Paul,
and purchased a like amount of subscrip
tion certificates! of St. Paul common. It
also added to its treasury holdings $1,600.
CX) Illinois Central, which, it Is under
stood, came from the Railroad Securities
Company. It is estimated that during
the past year the investment security
holdings of the company have increased
J72.Ono.000: which figure contains the
year's profits of the sale of the Northern
Securities. Great Northern and Northern
Pacific stocks.
Rumors that the Union Pacific went
into debt in the Fall of 1906 for the pur
chase of stocks held by other companies
seem to have been silenced by the latest
report. At that time the purpose of
the Union Pacific was to sell Its high
priced Northwestern stocks yielding less
than S per cent, and to invest in others
bearing a higher rate of Interest. To this
end it invested J131.6S3.271. having sold its
Northwestern stocks to the extent of
J117.S69.799, which made It appear that
the company had gone into debt. The re
port of operations for the past year shows
the wisdom of the move.
A marked increase is noted in the cost
of conducting transportation over the
previous year. This item amounted to
$21,214,178 as against $18,780,079 during
1907. The increase la principally due to
the greater cost of coal and fuel oil. The
Increase in terminal and station service
resulted from the expenses Incident to
moving the increased traffic in the first
half of the year, from higher wage
schedules, and from an Increase in the
number of employes made necessary by
the laws regulating the hours of labor.
AIR BRAKES ON DUNIWAY
Council Applies Westinghouso Act
When Lawyer Seeks to Speak.
The "Westlnghouse act" was applied
to R. It- Duniway when he desired to
speak before the City Council yester
day morning on the subject of stone
blocks with regard to the North Port
land proposed district, over which there
has been considerable dlscsslon. Coun
cilman Kellaher sought the privilege
f th floor for Mr. Duniway, and it
Has objected to by Councilmen Annand.
and Vaughn, who wished the entire
subject re-referred to the committee on
streets. This was finally done, and Mr.
Duniway did not get to speak.
"I asked the privilege of the floor
for Mr. Duniway," said Councilman
Kellaher, "and why apply the Westing
house act to him? Why shut down the
air-brakes and cut off speech here? Let
good citizens talk on public matters
when they so desire, is my motto."
"The matter is one for committee
work, and the time of . the Council
should not be taken up here," replied
Councilman Annand. "I object to Mr.
Duniway speaking at this time."
There are petitions for .both brick
and atone blocks in this district, and
both were re-referred to the street
committee, which sent It to the Council
this time without recommendation.
This act on the part of the members
of the street committee was criticised
by some of the members, who declared
that when any matter is referred to a
committee some recommendation should
be made to the Council.
During the discussion on the subject
a new feature was injected, when
Councilmen Cellars and Driscoll took
strong positions in favor of Belgian
blocks, which Councilman Vaughn de
clares are controlled by the Warren
Construction Company, the bituiithic
corporation.
SHOOTS IN HE ANGER
EXPRESSMAN ATTEMPTS TO
KILL MERCHANT.
J. A. Seeber Resents Punimcllng,
Gets Gun and Tries to Murder
J. A. Davenport Aim Wild.
J. A. Seeber, an expressman with a
stand at First and Jefferson streets, yes
terday became insane with rage because
G. L. Davenport, a produce merchant,
resented his language by administering
a beating, and. going to his home, he se
cured a revolver, and returning to the
Davenport store, fired two shots at the
proprietor.
Luckily both bullets carried wide of
their intended -mark, and lodged in the
woodwork of the front of the store with
out injuring anyone. The police were
summoned and Patrolmen Gruber and
Harms took the would-be murderer into
custody. When seen in his cell at the
City Jail he refused to discuss the affair
until he had had time to secure an at
torney. According to eye-witnesses of the
shooting. Seeber had driven his wagon,
containing a load of wood. In front of
the Davenport store about 7:30 o'clock In
the morning and attempted to unload it.'
Davenport ordered Seeber to desist. The
latter did. but commenced a tirade of
vituperative language, whereupon Daven
port struck him sveral times about the
head. Seeber then drove to his home at
2684j Front street, where he laid down
on a lounge. His nose had commenced to
bleed afresh and, noticing the blood, he
became Insanely angry. Securing a re
volver, he returned to the Davenport
store and. without warning, and In the
midst of a crowd of dealers, merchants
and their customers, he opened fire on
his enemy. As soon as the shooting
commenced there was a wild scramble on
the part of some 20 or 30 peisons In the
immediate 'vicinity, but the expressman's
bullets went wide and no one w:is in
jured. After firing the shots Seeber en
tered the Davenport store, where he was
taken Into custody and disarmed a few
moments later by Patrolmen Gruber and
Harms. He made no resistance.

GIRL WHO CAN COOK CAN
MAKE MANY GOOD PRESENTS
Lilian Tingle Tells of Various Forms of Christmas Cheer to Be Given
to Friends Away from Home.
BT LILIAN TINGLE.
THE girl who can cook, and who has
time and opportunity to do so, need
never be at a loss In regard to
Christmas presents. She can make gifts,
with the desired "personal touch," that
will be acceptable to young friends and
old, masculine and feminine, rich and
poor. Moreover, these gifts will not add
to the "tyranny of things" under which
many of us groan in these modern days
of limited house-room and "living In
trunks." The gift brings Its message and
then becomes (unless digestive complica
tions ensue) a pleasant memory.
Of course you think of candy first of
all. That Is natural, but shows no par
ticular originality. Besides, strange
though R may appear, there are neoDle
who do .not much care for candy., espe
cially at ennstmas time, when we all
try to eat more than Is good for us.
Well, what else can you make and
send? That lrfjust where your skill, tact.
inventiveness and knowledge of your
friends' tastes and circumstances comes
In. Of course, it would be absurd to send
a glass of Jelly to a woman who had
spent weeks In the Summer filling her
store cupboards. But that same glass of
Jelly - would be very acceptable to some
one away from home; who might enjoy
an occasional picnic lunch as a change
from -boarding-house meals. Even the
woman with the store cupboard might
like to receive a glass of some of the
less familiar or new conserves, relishes
or sauces, made perhaps from wild fruits
whose flavor recalls Summer rambles,
or of things grown in your own garden.
Rose-leaf conserve, for instance, or
candled rose leaves. Did you make any
last Summer? If so, try sending some to
friends here or elsewhere that have not
many roses. Grapefruit . marmalade,
orange marmalade and pineapple con
serve are suggestions for last-minute
makers. Candied orange chips, candled
orange peel nests, candied mint leaves,
and particularly choice deviled almonds
would be as dainty a gift for the friend
who entertains, as would be the set of
score cards or luncheon favors offered
by the girl who paints.
Mint grapes, mint Jelly, mangoes, spe
cial pickles, chutney and so forth all
these might do -duty If you have them
on your shelves. Pack them daintily and
decoratively, of course: and if you can
add a fitting limerick or Jingle, so much
the better. In some cases the recipe,
neatly copied out, would add greatly to
the value and charm of your little gift.
Little sealed Jars of home-made sand
wich paste made of meat, poultry, fish,
nuts or fruit might be welcomed, not only
by the friend away at college, but by
the schoolboy or girl or teacher who car
ries a lunch every day and craves va
riety. Holidays? Tes. I know: but the
paste, properly sealed, should keep until
school begins again; and, besides, there
are other people, besides those that go
to school, who have to carry a lunch and
who also enjoy an unaccustomed flavor

BEAT ALL RECORDS
Postoffice and Express Com
panies Are Swamped.
MUCH EXTRA HELP NEEDED
All Departments of the Service Are
Overwhelmed With the Onrush
of Greatly Increased Volume
of Holiday Business.
Thirty -two additional clerks In the Post
office, 23 extra carriers and two additional
wagons aye required to keep up with the
demand of the holiday season.
Forty extra people in the receiving and
forwarding departments, ten receiving
clerks and 14 extra wagons, show what
the express company has done to handle
the mass of holiday packages forwarded
and being received.
Postmaster Minto estimates that an in
crease of at least 26 per cent will be
shown in the business of the postofFice
over this period last year. It requires
an addition of 20 clerks In the registry
division to handle matter presented for
mailing, and this increase is in addition
to seven regular clerks allowed this of
fice on December 7. It should be re
membered, also, that since this time last
year there have been allowed 15 regulars
to the force of this office owing to the
growth of business done by the office.
The number of clerks assigned to post
offices is first based upon stamp sales
and then the Department at Washington
takes into consideration such points as
topography cities located on level ground
requiring fewer carriers than those built
on hilly sites. The extra employes re
quired by the local office during the
present rush are drawn from the civil
service eligible list and -these men prob
ably will be given work until about the
middle of January, or until reports are
made up and forwarded to Washington.
Today and for the next few days the
heavy work done in the office will reverse
order. Since about December 15 the bulk
of work has been in the forwarding de
partments; from now on It will be in
the delivery departments.
Similar conditions have been met with
and similar increase is reported in the
express offices. General Agent Harvey
B. Reckwith, of Wells-Fargo, said yes
terday that since December 16 the number
of parcels handled by the company was
away ahead of the records of the last
two yefrs for a like period. He said the
force of employes had been enlarged in
all departments. As to valuations placed
on parcels there was no record brought
vp to this time but receiving clerks were
of opinion the averague value would ex
ceed those of previous years, thus in
dicating that the public is in better finan
cial condition than before.
Postmaster Minto said that every effort
was being made to prevent delay in the
delivery of commercial and social corres
pondence, but that on account of the
heavy character of mail matter now being
handled the service might be hampered
to some extent.
MAKES COUNCILMEN WORK
President Rushlight Proves Good
Disciplinarian While In Chair.
President Rushlight, while occupying
the chair at yesterday afternoon's ses
sion of the City Council, demonstrated
his ability to do business when the oc
casion demands It. The session had
continued throughout the day, from 9:30
A. M. to 5:30 P. M.. and many of the
Councilmen had become weary, there
having been much skirmishing during
the tedious day. Consequently some of
the members sought rest and recreation
outside the chambers, as smoking la pro-
cellent for sending away. For the for
mer, a Christmassy touch can be given
by a white frosting, decorated with a
wreath or spray of holly, made with
angelica or green citron and bits of red
cherry. Cut thin strips of the green
angelica for stalks, make the leaves of
diamond-shaped pieces, and the berries
small and clustered.
Crystallized fruits, glace fruits or iced
fruits, nuts or "Marrons" are a pleasing
cnange irom candy and are not difficult
to make. Orange sections, white grapes.
apple-ginger, pineapple and cranberries
are most seasonable: but If you have
some good canned cherries, quince or
apricots, and a little patience, you can
I get good results in crystallizing these.
i hey will not, of course, be as fine as
the "French fruits," but they will be good
to eat. Little Jap or Tangerine oranges
preserved whole in Jelly, or In slizes.
Jellied, are pretty and easily obtainable
Just now.
Pretty packages of Iebkuchen, springer
lie, pfeffernuesse, Christmas cookies and
marzipan are acceptable. Scotch short
bread Is not difficult to make, though.
like the March Hare's (or was it the
Hatter's?) watch. It requires "the best
butter," and butter Is butter just now.
Scotch shortbread Is most correct for
New Tear, and the "real thing" often
bears cheerful inscriptions in letters of
candied orange peel or hard, white com
fits. Scotch bun (which resembles the
very deadliest kind of fruit cake, hiding
wolf-like In a sheep's clothing of hard.
plain paste) makes a good present and
has the virtue of keeping almost In
definitely. Scotch oat cakes, if you can
make them, will be highly appreciated
by the Scot who remembers affectionately
the food of his childhood
Mince meat, of course, suggests Itself,
and the right kind of pie sent to Just the
right person may be more valued than
much embroidery. Can you make a par
ticularly -good salad dressing? Hurrah
for you, then! Perhaps some of your
friends haven't -the gift, and might
greatly esteem a bottle or Jelly glass full
of It. with or without the recipe.
Maybe you know how to make exactly
the kind of doughnuts or fried chicken
or chicken pie that would taste "Just
like home" to some lonesome boarder.
Try it and see; it may be more comfort
able than calendars. I still remember
with pleasure a fresh loaf of home-made
bread brown bread it was that an In
spired friend once sent me with a charm1
lng note and a little pat of fresh cream
cheese. Do you Imagine I should have
preferred a berlbboned hatpin holder or
a twenty-seventh pin cushion or spool
holder? Stuffed dates, figs, raisins and
prunes have nothing novel about them,
but are usually well received. A Jar or
store foudant might fee liked by the
friend who has not the time or skill to
make it for herself.
But if you can cook you will have wit
enough to think of lots of ways In which
to add to the good cheer of the season;
and If you can't well, make it a New
Year's resolution to learn before next
Christmas comes around. And if you do,
you'll never regret 1L i -
hlbitcd. and it became necessary tor
them to go into the corridors to puff at
their cigars.
As a result or this there were not
enough members present to put through
emergency ordinances, some of which it
was necessary to pass at the session.
Several attempts were made to adjourn,
but without success, and there was a
general "loungy" feeling among the
members. President Rushlight became
angry over the attitude of the Council
men who would not "work," and gave
some orders which very quickly brought
about strict order.
"The officer will go Into the corridors
and bring in every member of the Coun
cil," ordered President Rushlight, and
no sooner had he so ordered than Po
liceman Riley dashed, out and "got
busy." He seized Councilman Cottel and
escorted him to the Council chambers,
and at this others hurried in to avoid
the same action upon themselves. .
"Now, every member get to his own
station and sit up to do business," or
dered President Rushlight, and there was
immediate compliance with the order.
Much work was done In a few minutes
and the Council was able to adjourn at
6 o'clock until next Wednesday morning.
BIS PLUM TEMPTING HIM
TOM RICHARDSON" HAS AX OF
FER OF $12,000.
Denver and Pueblo Want Services
of Manager of Local Commercial
Club Tells of Trip.
Tom Richardson, manager of the pub
licity department of the Commercial Club,
has under consideration an offer of $12,
000 per annum from the commercial or
ganizations of Denver and Pueblo, Colo.,
to organize the commercial bodies of that
state on the same plan that was accom
plished in this state by the Oregon De
velopment League. Mr. Richardson, who
returned yesterday from his Eastern trip,
refused to discuss the offer of the Colo
rado people, other than to say that he was
considering their proposal.
"I have just visited 5000 miles of snow
covered territory and the mild Oregon
Winter rain I encountered upon crossing
the Cascades was most welcome," said
Mr. Richardson yesterday. "One of the
most interesting sights I witnessed while
crossing the State of Colorado in its
blanket of snow was a herd of not less
than 100 antelopes feeding on the side of
a mountain. At the request of the Gov
ernment the farmers of that state each
Winter feed these animals and in every
possible way give them protection."
At the request of Canadian officials,
Mr. Richardson and Jefferson Myers were
called to Winnipeg, Manitoba, for a con
ference relating to the proposal to hold
an exposition in that city, probably in
1912. Following this conference and hav
ing obtained the practical suggestions of
these two Oregon men. who are 'so fa
miliar with the advertising value of such
enterprises, the Canadians decided to hold
such an exposition. At the conclusion of
this conference. Air. Myers returned to
Portland, while Mr. Richardson spent
some time visiting the principal cities of
the Middle West and the West where he
was entertained by the different com
mercial organizations.
It was not until the return of Mr. Rich
ardson yesterday 4 hat the facts were
learned regarding the published report
that a party of Chicago school children
were to visit Portland next year. The
story originated at a dinner which was
given in Mr. Richardson's honor by H.
A. Wheeler at the Union League Club
in that city. It was on that occasion
that Mr. Richardson suggested the prac
ticability of the business men of Chicago
sending a company of 150 school children,
75 boys and To girls, to the Pacific North
west, at the expense of the commercial
organizations of that city. The party.
so It was suggested, was to be chaperoned
by five men and the same number of
women teachers, the project to be
financed from the Chicago end on the
samo plan as the trade excursions that
are conducted regularly by the Commer
cial Club of this city.
The plan met with instant favor among
the representative Chicago business men
attending the Richardson dinner, with
the result that the details of such a
scheme were referred to the committee
on ways and means of the Chicago As
sociation of Commerce. This committee
consists of 300 members, from whicli an
Idea may be formed of the magnitude of
the organization.
Mr. Richardson reports that the Com
mercial Club and the Oregon Develop
ment League both are favorably known
throughout the East. Aside from visiting
Chicago, Mr. Richardson was also enter
tained at St. Paul, Minneapolis, St.
Joseph. Denver and Salt Lake. The
keynote oT his addresses at these gather
ings was the advisability of Americans
seeing their own country first before ex
tending their sight-seeing trips to Europe.
In this connection he briefly outlined the
scenic beauty and great opportunities of
fered by the Pacific Northwest.
